SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Act’’), Public Law No. 

111–203, Title X, established the CFPB 

to administer and enforce Federal 

consumer financial protection law. The 

CFPB will maintain the records covered 

by this notice. 

The new system of records described 

in this notice, CFPB.001—Freedom of 

Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’)/Privacy Act 

(‘‘PA’’) System will be used by the CFPB 

to collect, process, log, track, and 

respond to all FOIA and/or PA related 

requests. It will be used to appropriately 

document information about the 

requestors’ and/or entities’ requests and 

the CFPB staff assigned to process, 

consider, and respond to the requests. 

The system will serve as the central 

repository for submitted requests for 

access to, correction of, and/or 

amendment to CFPB records. It will 

document the accounting of disclosures 

of records under FOIA and/or PA to 

include the status of requested records; 

responses to the requests; process 

responsive records; process FOIArelated calculations and fees; and 

proactively address frequentlyrequested records publicly available 

under the CFPB rules of practice and 

FOIA/PA requirements. It will also be 

used to maintain records, document the 

consideration and disposition of these 

requests for annual reporting, statistical 

analysis, fee management, and 

recordkeeping purposes. A description 

of the new system of records follows 

this Notice. 

The report of the new system of 

records has been submitted to the 

Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform of the House of 

Representatives, the Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of 

Management and Budget, pursuant to 

Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130, 

‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Maintaining Records About 

Individuals,’’ dated November 30, 2000, 

and the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(r). 

Dated: July 27, 2011.

Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau, 1801 L Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20036. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individuals covered by this system are 

persons who cite the Freedom of 

Information Act or Privacy Act to 

request access to records or whose 

information requests are treated as FOIA 

requests. Other individuals covered 

include CFPB staff assigned to process 

such requests, and employees who may 

have responsive records or are 

mentioned in such records. FOIA 

requests are subject to the PA only to 

the extent that they concern individuals; 

information pertaining to corporations 

and other business entities and 

organizations are not subject to the PA. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records in the system may contain: 

(1) Correspondence with the requester 

including initial requests and appeals; 

(2) documents generated or compiled 

during the search and processing of the 

request; (3) fee schedules, cost 

calculations, and accessed cost for 

disclosed FOIA records; (4) documents 

and memoranda supporting the decision 

made in response to the request, 

referrals, and copies of records provided 

or withheld; (5) CFPB staff assigned to 

process, consider, and respond to 

requests and, where a request has been 

referred to another agency with equities 

in a responsive document, information 

about the individual handling the 

request on behalf of that agency; (6) 

information identifying the entity that is 

subject to the requests or appeals; (7) 

requester information, including name, 

address, phone number, email address; 

FOIA tracking number, phone number, 

fax number, or some combination

security number (SSNs may be 

submitted with documentation or as 

proof of identification), address, phone 

number, email address, FOIA number, 

phone number, fax number, or some 

combination thereof. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

Information Act of 1996, as amended 5 

U.S.C. 552; Privacy Act of 1974, as

PURPOSE: 

The information in the system is 

being collected to enable the CFPB to 

carry out its responsibilities under the 

FOIA and the PA, including enabling 

staff to receive, track, and respond to 

requests. This requires maintaining 

documentation gathered during the 

consideration and disposition process, 

administering annual reporting 

requirements, managing FOIA-related 

fees and calculations, and delivering 

responsive records.
