Title: Report of Terms of Credit Card 

Plans. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0001. 

Abstract: Section 1100A of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), Public 

Law 111–203, transferred the authority 

to conduct the semiannual Report of 

Terms of Credit Card, from the Federal 

Reserve Board to the CFPB on July 21, 

2011. About 150 credit card issuers, 

including the 25 largest issuers as 

measured by outstanding credit card 

receivables, report the information on 

credit card pricing and fees. Previously, 

the information was collected under 

OMB control number 7100–0239, Form 

Number 2572. Much of the information 

collected through the approved 

information collection is now widely 

available and in greater detail on thirdparty credit card shopping Web sites. 

The CFPB is looking for ways to make 

the report more informative and helpful 

for consumers. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Credit Card issuers. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 75. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. The 

public is invited to submit written 

comments concerning: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the CFPB, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the above estimate of the burden of the 

information collection; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, 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.
