BILLING CODE P 

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 $10.50 to 

$11.00 effective January 1, 2011. Under 

1996 amendments to the FCRA, the 

Federal 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 

35.51 percent between September 1997, 

the date the FCRA amendments took 

effect, and September 2010. This 

increase in the CPI, and the requirement 

that any increase be rounded to the 

nearest fifty cents, results in a maximum 

allowable charge of $11.00 effective 

January 1, 2011. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC 20580. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Clarke W. Brinckerhoff, Bureau of 

Consumer Protection, 202–326–3208, or 

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 

$8.00 and shall be indicated to the 

consumer before making the disclosure. 

Section 612(f)(2) states 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. An amendment of this section by 

the Consumer Financial Protection Act 

of 2010 2 provides that the newlycreated Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau will perform this task in future 

years. 

Section 211(a)(2) of the Fair and 

Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 

2003 (‘‘FACT Act’’) added 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 provision. The charge 

does apply when a consumer who 

orders a file disclosure has already 

received a free annual disclosure and 

does not otherwise qualify for an 

additional free disclosure. 

The Commission considers the $8.00 

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 $8.00 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 2010, the Consumer Price 

Index for all urban consumers and all 

items increased by 35.51 percent—from 

an index value of 161.2 in September 

1997 to a value of 218.439 in September 

2010. An increase of 35.51 percent in 

the $8.00 base figure would lead to a 

new figure of $10.84. However, because 

the statute directs that the resulting 

figure be rounded to the nearest $0.50, 

the maximum allowable charge should 

be $11.00. 

The Commission therefore determines 

that the maximum allowable charge for 

the year 2011 will be $11.00. 

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.

Information Collection: Early Retiree 

Reinsurance Program (ERRP); Use: 

Under section 1102 of the Affordable 

Care Act and implementing regulations 

at 45 CFR part 149, employment-based 

plans that offer health benefits to early 

retirees and their spouses, surviving 

spouses and dependents are eligible 

under a temporary program to receive a 

tax-free reimbursement for the costs of 

certain health benefits for such 

individuals (the Early Retiree 

Reinsurance Program, or ERRP). In order 

to qualify, plan sponsors must submit a 

complete application to the U.S. 

Department of Health & Human Services 

(HHS). In order to receive 

reimbursement under the program, they 

must also submit documentation of 

actual costs for health care benefits, 

which consists of documentation of 

actual costs for the items and services 

involved, and a list of individuals to 

whom the documentation applies. Once 

HHS reviews and analyzes the 

information on the application, 

notification will be sent to the plan 

sponsor about its eligibility to 

participate in the program. Once HHS 

reviews and analyzes each 

reimbursement request, reimbursement 

under the program will be made to the 

sponsor, as appropriate. The program’s 

funding is limited to $5 billion, and the 

program sunsets on January 1, 2014.
