SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection 

of information that they conduct or 

sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information listed below. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, the CFTC 

invites comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have a practical use; 

• The accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to http://

www.cftc.gov. You should submit only 

information that you wish to make 

available publicly. If you wish the 

Commission to consider information 

that you believe is exempt from 

disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, a petition for 

confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in § 145.9 

of the Commission’s regulations.1 The 

Commission reserves the right, but shall 

have no obligation, to review, prescreen, filter, redact, refuse or remove 

any or all of your submission from 

http://www.cftc.gov that it may deem to 

be inappropriate for publication, such as 

obscene language. All submissions that 

have been redacted or removed that 

contain comments on the merits of the 

Information Collection Request will be 

retained in the public comment file and 

will be considered as required under the 

Administrative Procedure Act and other 

applicable laws, and may be accessible 

under the Freedom of Information Act. 

Title: Notification of Pending Legal 

Proceedings Pursuant to 17 CFR 1.60, 

OMB Control Number 3038–0033- 

Extension. 

Abstract: The rule is designed to assist 

the Commission in monitoring legal 

proceedings involving the 

responsibilities imposed on contract 

markets and their officials and futures 

commission merchants and their 

principals by the Commodity Exchange 

Act, or otherwise. 

Burden: The Commission estimates

information as follows:

BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 92 / Wednesday, May 13, 2015 / Notices 27295 

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: Section 502(a) of the Credit 

Card Accountability Responsibility and 

Disclosure Act of 2009 (CARD Act or 

Act) requires the Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection (Bureau or CFPB) 

to conduct a review (Review) of the 

consumer credit card market, within the 

limits of its existing resources available 

for reporting purposes. In connection 

with conducting that Review, and in 

accordance with Section 502(b) of the 

CARD Act, the Bureau published a 

Request for Information in the Federal 

Register on March 19, 2015, soliciting 

from the public comment on a number 

of aspects of the consumer credit card 

market. The Request for Information 

provided a 60-day comment period that 

will end on May 18, 2015. To allow 

interested persons additional time to 

consider and submit their responses, the 

Bureau has determined that an 

extension of the comment period on 

four of the specific areas of interest 

noted in the original Request for 

Information—online disclosures, grace 

periods, add-on products, and debt 

collection—until June 17, 2015, is 

appropriate. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

Request for Information Regarding 

Credit Card Market, published March 

19, 2015, at 80 FR 14365, is extended 

with respect to four areas of interest. 

Responses on those areas of interest 

specifically extended must now be 

received on or before June 17, 2015; the 

deadline for responses on all other areas 

remains unchanged. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CFPB–2015– 

0007, by any of the following methods: 

• Electronic: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Monica Jackson, Office of the 

Executive Secretary, Consumer 

Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G 

Street NW., Washington, DC 20552. 

• Hand Delivery/Courier: Monica 

Jackson, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, Consumer Financial 

Protection Bureau, 1275 First Street NE., 

Washington, DC 20002. 

Instructions: All submissions should 

include the agency name and docket 

number for this proposal. Because paper 

mail in the Washington, DC area and at 

the Bureau is subject to delay, 

commenters are encouraged to submit 

comments electronically. In general, all 

comments received will be posted 

without change to http://

www.regulations.gov. In addition, 

comments will be available for public 

inspection and copying at 1275 First 

Street NE., Washington, DC 20002, on 

official business days between the hours 

of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. eastern standard 

time. You can make an appointment to 

inspect the documents by telephoning 

(202) 435–7275. 

All comments, including attachments 

and other supporting materials, will 

become part of the public record and 

subject to public disclosure. Sensitive 

personal information, such as account 

numbers or social security numbers, 

should not be included. Comments 

generally will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general inquiries, submission process 

questions, or any additional 

information, please contact Monica 

Jackson, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, 202–435–7275. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

19, 2015, the Bureau published the 

Request for Information in the Federal 

Register, 80 FR 14365. The Request for 

Information seeks comment, data, and 

information from the public on the state 

of the credit card market, both generally 

and specifically to 12 issues and areas 

specifically identified by the Bureau. 

Since publication, the Bureau has 

received multiple requests for extension 

of the comment deadline. While the 

Bureau believes the initial deadline 

should provide sufficient time for the 

public to comment on these matters, it 

wants to ensure that all interested 

parties are able to provide information 

and insight to the Bureau as it seeks 

greater understanding of the credit card 

market. 

The Bureau wants to balance 

interested parties’ desire to have 

additional time to consider the issues 

raised in the Request for Information, 

gather data, and prepare their responses, 

with the need to proceed expeditiously 

to consider comments. By extending the 

comment period for certain issues, the 

Bureau believes that it is effectively 

striking that balance. The Bureau 

believes that a 30-day extension on four 

of the twelve issues raised in the 

Request for Information—online 

disclosures, grace periods, add-on 

products, and debt collection—is 

appropriate, as these questions focus on 

particular areas of potential policy 

concern and may require additional 

time to respond. The comment period 

for those four issues will therefore close 

on June 17, 2015; the deadline for 

comments on all other areas and issues 

remains unchanged. 

Dated: May 5, 2015.

Chief of Staff, Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection.
