2, 2022, in a document titled, ``Request for Information Regarding Fees 
Imposed by Providers of Consumer Financial Products or Services.'' The 
Bureau has determined that extension of the comment period until April 
11, 2022, is appropriate.

for Information Regarding Fees Imposed by Providers of Consumer 
Financial Products or Services,'' published on February 2, 2022 (87 FR 
5801), is extended from March 31, 2022, until April 11, 2022.

supervision, regulatory and other authorities to create a fairer, more 
transparent, and competitive consumer financial marketplace. As of mid-
March, the CFPB has received more than 1,400 comments to the RFI, 
indicating a high level of public interest in this topic. Allowing an 
additional comment period will provide additional opportunity for the
