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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Project Background and 

Authorization. 

The 1981 Feasibility Study entitled 

‘‘Deep-Draft Access to the Ports of New 

Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana’’ 

(1981 Feasibility Study) was authorized 

by Section 2 of the Rivers and Harbors 

Act of 1945, (Pub. L. 79–14), which 

combined several existing deep-draft 

projects on the Mississippi River and 

modified them to provide new 

navigation channel dimensions. The 

1981 Feasibility Study, which included 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS), recommended deepening the 

Mississippi River’s navigation channel 

to a 55-foot depth from Baton Rouge to 

the Gulf of Mexico. A Chief of Engineers 

Report was completed in April 1983, 

and a Record of Decision was signed on 

December 23, 1986. The Mississippi 

River Ship Channel, Gulf to Baton 

Rouge, Louisiana project was authorized 

for construction by Section 101 of the 

1985 Supplemental Appropriations Act 

(Pub. L. 99–88). 

The authorized plan provides for a 

navigation channel with a 55-foot depth 

over a 750-foot bottom width from the 

Gulf of Mexico to Baton Rouge, 

Louisiana, and a turning basin at the 

head of the deepened channel in Baton 

Rouge. Authorization also included 

deepening the existing 35 feet deep by 

1,500 feet wide channel at the New 

Orleans harbor to 40 feet, providing 

river training works in South Pass and 

Pass a Loutre, and creating wetlands 

and upland habitat with dredged 

material along Southwest Pass. 

Phase I of the Mississippi River Ship 

Channel, Gulf to Baton Rouge, LA 

Project consisted of a 45-foot channel 

from the Gulf of Mexico to river mile 

181 near Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and 

was completed in December 1987. Phase 

II consisted of the remainder of the 45 

foot channel from river mile 181 to 

Baton Rouge, and was completed in 

December 1994. Phase III of the Project 

was identified as the deepening of the 

entire channel to 55 feet from the Gulf 

of Mexico to Baton Rouge. The NonFederal Sponsor, the State of Louisiana, 

Department of Transportation and 

Development, has requested that an 

incremental phase of deepening the 

entire length of the channel to 50 feet be 

considered. A final phase of deepening 

the channel to 55 feet may be 

considered in the future. The Water 

Resources Reform and Development Act 

of 2014 amended the Water Resources 

and Development Act of 1986, to 

increase the Federal threshold for full
