CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU

12 CFR Part 1022

[Docket No. CFPB-2024-0044]
RIN 3170-AB27


Protecting Americans From Harmful Data Broker Practices 
(Regulation V); Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 13, 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 
(CFPB) published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) requesting comment on the CFPB's proposal to amend 
Regulation V, which implements the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). 
The proposed rule would implement the FCRA's definitions of consumer 
report and consumer reporting agency as well as certain of the FCRA's 
provisions governing when consumer reporting agencies may furnish, and 
users may obtain, consumer reports. The NPRM provided a comment period 
that was set to close on March 3, 2025. To allow interested persons 
more time to consider and submit their comments, the CFPB has 
determined that an extension of the comment period until April 2, 2025, 
is appropriate.

DATES: The end of the comment period for the proposed rule that 
published at 89 FR 101402 (December 13, 2024) is extended from March 3, 
2025, until April 2, 2025.
