2198 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2011 / Notices 

Act) Section 114 amends section 615 of 

the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to 

require the OTS, Office of the 

Comptroller of the Currency, Federal 

Reserve Board, Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation, National Credit 

Union Administration, and Federal 

Trade Commission (Agencies) to issue 

jointly guidelines for financial 

institutions and creditors regarding 

identity theft with respect to their 

account holders and customers. In 

developing the guidelines, the Agencies 

must identify patterns, practices, and 

specific forms of activity that indicate 

the possible existence of identity theft. 

The regulations require each financial 

institution and creditor to establish 

reasonable policies and procedures for 

implementing the guidelines to identify 

possible risks to account holders or 

customers or to the safety and 

soundness of the institution or creditor. 

The FACT Act Section 315 amends 

section 605 of the FCRA to require the 

Agencies to issue joint regulations 

providing guidance regarding 

reasonable policies and procedures that 

a user of consumer reports must employ 

when a user receives a notice of address 

discrepancy from a consumer reporting 

agency (CRA). The regulations describe 

reasonable policies and procedures for 

users of consumer reports to enable a 

user to form a reasonable belief that it 

knows the identity of the person for 

whom it has obtained a consumer 

report, and reconcile the address of the 

consumer with the CRA, if the user 

establishes a continuing relationship 

with the consumer and regularly and in 

the ordinary course of business 

furnishes information to the CRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Veterans’ Suicide Prevention 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–New (VA 

Form 10–0512). 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Abstract: VA is taking decisive action 

to prevent Veteran death by suicide. The 

Department will proactively partner 

with Veterans and their families; 

federal, state, local, and tribal 

governments; community organizations; 

and other stakeholders to reach out, 

engender trust, reduce stigma, and 

encourage our Nation’s heroes to apply 

for the benefits and services they have 

earned. VA must also reach out to 

Veterans who are experiencing mental 

health crises and provide confident and 

trustworthy counseling. 

To be successful, the Department 

must take systematic steps when 

offering assistance with programs, 

services, and benefits. Outreach 

activities must be research-based, datadriven, audience targeted, resultsoriented, and governed by the basic 

tenets of effective communication and 

strategic outreach. 

To prevent suicide and save one life 

at a time, 18 lives per day, the 

Department must act now and reach out 

to these populations and their 

influencers; however, to truly make a 

difference, it can’t just reach out, VA 

must employ sound and proven 

outreach strategies which are evidencebased and include messaging which has 

been tested and focused for specific 

audiences. To achieve these steps, the 

Department will conduct focus groups 

with Veterans and their families, 

community organizations, and other 

important and influential stakeholders. 

Therefore, the Veterans Health 

Administration respectfully requests an 

emergency OMB clearance to perform 

focus group activities and collect 

information to support outreach efforts 

in reaching this critical audience and 

the people who they trust. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 150 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 90 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

100. 

Dated: January 7, 2011. 

By direction of the Secretary.

Program Analyst Director, Enterprise Records 

Service.
