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

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.

Dated: July 14, 2014. Richard Cordray, Director, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

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.
