Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 141 / Wednesday, July 23, 2014 / Notices 42769 

Proposed Policy Statement and the June 

2012 Proposed Policy Statement, 

respectively. These comments ranged 

from the very general, such as the 

Bureau’s authority to disclose consumer 

complaint data of any kind and the 

impact the database would have on 

consumers and covered persons, to the 

more specific, such as the impact of 

specific proposed data fields (e.g., 

company disposition) and the inclusion 

of other data fields (e.g., narratives). In 

both Policy Statements, the Bureau 

affirmed its openness to the inclusion of 

additional data fields and its 

willingness to work with external 

stakeholders to address the value of 

adding such fields. Consistent with this 

commitment, and in response to 

comments urging the disclosure of 

narratives, the Bureau is today 

proposing the inclusion of narratives in 

the Consumer Complaint Database. 

Broadly, the Bureau seeks comments 

that are related to the proposed 

extension of the policies to include 

complaint narratives. With that scope, 

the Bureau is specifically seeking public 

comment on: 

• Consumer Consent to Disclose 

Narratives—The Bureau is currently in 

the process of conducting research and 

user testing to inform design decisions 

regarding the need for any additional 

information to help inform consumer 

consent, the precise language to most 

effectively communicate with the 

consumer, at what point in the 

complaint process (at complaint 

submission or later in the complaint 

handling process) and where on the 

Bureau Web site the information in 

support of the opt-in consent should be 

displayed. 

• Company Response—The Company 

Portal will include a data field into 

which companies have the option to 

provide narrative text that would appear 

next to a consumer’s narrative in the 

Consumer Complaint Database. The 

Bureau is seeking comment on whether 

this public-facing response should be 

distinct and in addition to the response 

companies send directly to the 

consumer. 

• Personal Information Scrubbing 

Standard and Methodology—In Section 

II.D, above, the Bureau detailed the 

standard and methodology it intends to 

utilize to scrub personal information 

from the narratives. The Bureau is 

seeking comment on both the standard 

and methodology, including suggestions 

of appropriate analogues to the HIPAA 

identifiers in the consumer financial 

domain, and any other identifiers which 

could reasonably be used to identify 

individuals. Specific to ZIP codes, at 

this time the Bureau has not yet 

determined whether to continue 

publishing 5-digit ZIP codes in the 

Consumer Complaint Database 

alongside redacted narratives. The 

Bureau seeks comment on whether ZIP 

codes should be redacted consistent 

with the HIPAA standard and if so, the 

number of digits to provide, e.g., five or 

three, and any relevant population 

thresholds under which to limit ZIP 

code disclosure, e.g., less than 20,000 or 

10,000 individuals in a given ZIP code. 

The Bureau believes that it has 

sufficiently addressed comments 

concerning the Consumer Complaint 

Database generally, as well as comments 

regarding the current data fields, in the 

June 2012 Policy Statement and the 

March 2013 Policy Statement. 

IV. Procedural Requirements 

The CFPB concludes that Proposed 

Policy Statement constitutes an agency 

statement of general policy exempt from 

notice and public comment pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553(b). 

Notwithstanding this conclusion, the 

CFPB invites public comment on this 

proposed Policy Statement. 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. Chapter 6) do not apply.

DFAS maintains updated debt 

accounts and initiates debt collection 

action for separated military members, 

out-of-service civilian employees, and 

other individuals not on an active 

federal government payroll system. 

When notice is received that an 

individual debtor is deceased, an effort 

is made to ascertain whether the 

decedent left an estate by contacting 

clerks of probate courts. If it’s 

determined that an estate was 

established, attempts are made to collect 

the debt from the estate. If no estate 

appears to have been established, the 

debt is written off as uncollectible.
