FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

Charges for Certain Disclosures

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice regarding charges for 

certain disclosures. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission announces that the ceiling 

on allowable charges under section 

612(f) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 

(‘‘FCRA’’) will increase from $9.00 to 

$9.50 on January 1, 2005. Under 1996 

amendments to the FCRA, the Federal 

76768 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2004 / Notices 

1This provision, originally section 612(a), was 

added to the FCRA in September 1996 and became 

effective in September 1997. It was relabelled 

section 612(f) by section 211(a) of the Fair and 

Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (‘‘FACT 

Act’’), Public Law 108–159, which was signed into 

law on December 4, 2003.

Trade Commission is required to 

increase the $8.00 amount referred to in 

paragraph (1)(A)(i) of section 612(f) on 

January 1 of each year, based 

proportionally on changes in the 

Consumer Price Index (‘‘CPI’’), with 

fractional changes rounded to the 

nearest fifty cents. The CPI increased 

17.80 percent between September 1997, 

the date the FCRA amendments took 

effect, and September 2004. This 

increase in the CPI and the requirement 

that any increase be rounded to the 

nearest fifty cents results in an increase 

in the current maximum allowable 

charge to $9.50 effective January 1, 

2005.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Federal Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC 20580.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Keith B. Anderson, Bureau of 

Economics, Federal Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC 20580, 202–326–3428.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

612(f)(1)(A) of the Fair Credit Reporting 

Act, which became effective in 1997, 

provides that a consumer reporting 

agency may charge a consumer a 

reasonable amount for making a 

disclosure to the consumer pursuant to 

section 609 of the Act.1 The law states 

that, where a consumer reporting agency 

is permitted to impose a reasonable 

charge on a consumer for making a 

disclosure to the consumer pursuant to 

section 609, the charge shall not exceed 

$8 and shall be indicated to the 

consumer before making the disclosure. 

Section 612(f)(2) goes on to state that the 

Federal Trade Commission (‘‘the 

Commission’’) shall increase the $8.00 

maximum amount on January 1 of each 

year, based proportionally on changes in 

the Consumer Price Index, with 

fractional changes rounded to the 

nearest fifty cents.

Section 211(a) of the Fair and 

Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 

2003 (‘‘FACT Act’’) adds a new section 

612(a) to the FCRA that gives consumers 

the right to request free annual 

disclosures once every 12 months. The 

maximum allowable charge established 

by this notice does not apply to requests 

made under that new provision. The 

charge will, however, apply where a 

consumer orders a file disclosure 

directly from one of the three 

nationwide consumer reporting agencies 

because the consumer is not yet eligible 

to receive a free annual disclosure, or 

has already received a free annual 

disclosure and does not otherwise 

qualify for an additional free disclosure. 

The Commission considers the $8 

amount referred to in paragraph (1)(A)(i) 

of section 612(f) to be the baseline for 

the effective ceiling on reasonable 

charges dating from the effective date of 

the amended FCRA, i.e., September 30, 

1997. Each year the Commission 

calculates the proportional increase in 

the Consumer Price Index (using the 

most general CPI, which is for all urban 

consumers, all items) from September 

1997 to September of the current year. 

The Commission then determines what 

modification, if any, from the original 

base of $8 should be made effective on 

January 1 of the subsequent year, given 

the requirement that fractional changes 

be rounded to the nearest fifty cents. 

Between September 1997 and 

September 2004, the Consumer Price 

Index for all urban consumers and all 

items increased by 17.80 percent—from 

an index value of 161.2 in September 

1997 to a value of 189.9 in September 

2001. An increase of 17.80 percent in 

the $8.00 base figure would lead to a 

new figure of $9.42. However, because 

the statute directs that the resulting 

figure be rounded to the nearest $0.50, 

the allowable charge should be $9.50. 

The Commission therefore determines 

that the allowable charge for the year 

2005 will be $9.50.

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

cooperation with the National 

Toxicology Program, initiate a program 

of research to determine these health 

effects. The Act further directs that 

where feasible, ATSDR shall develop 

methods to determine the health effects
