SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Report of Terms of Credit Card Plans.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0001.
    Abstract: Section 1100A of the Dodd-Frank 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 
third-party 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.
