SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board 

authority under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) to approve of and 

assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and 

requirements conducted or sponsored 

by the Board. Board-approved 

collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 

supporting statements and approved 

collection of information instrument(s) 

are placed into OMB’s public docket 

files. The Federal Reserve may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number. 

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated 

Authority of the Extension for Three 

Years, Without Revision, of the 

Following Report: 

Report title: Reporting, 

Recordkeeping, and Disclosure 

Requirements Associated with the 

Guidance on Response Programs for 

Unauthorized Access to Customer 

Information. 

Agency form number: FR 4100. 

OMB control number: 7100–0309. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondents: State member banks 

(SMBs), bank holding companies 

(BHCs), affiliates and certain non-bank 

subsidiaries of bank holding companies, 

uninsured state agencies and branches 

of foreign banks, commercial lending 

companies owned or controlled by 

foreign banks, and Edge and agreement 

corporations.

General description of report: The IDTheft Guidance is the information 

collection associated with the 

Interagency Guidance on Response 

Programs for Unauthorized Access to 

Customer Information and Customer 

Notice (security guidelines), which was 

published in the Federal Register in 

March 2005.1 Trends in customer 

information theft and the accompanying 

misuse of that information led to the 

issuance of these security guidelines 

applicable to financial institutions. The 

security guidelines are designed to 

facilitate timely and relevant 

notification to affected customers and 

the appropriate regulatory authority 

(ARA) of the financial institutions. The 

security guidelines provide specific 

direction regarding the development of 

response programs and customer 

notifications. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The Board has 

determined that the reporting, 

recordkeeping, and disclosure 

requirements associated with the FR 

4100 are authorized by the GrammLeach-Bliley Act and are mandatory (15 

U.S.C. 6801(b)). Since the FR 4100 

provides that a financial institution 

regulated by the Board should notify its 

designated Reserve Bank upon 

becoming aware of an incident of 

unauthorized access to sensitive 

customer information, issues of 

confidentiality may arise if the Board 

were to obtain a copy of a customer 

notice during the course of an 

examination, a copy of a Suspicious 

Activity Report (SAR), or other sensitive 

customer information. In such cases, the 

information would likely be exempt 

from disclosure to the public under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C 

552(b)(3), (4), (6), and (8)). Also, a 

federal employee is prohibited by law 

from disclosing a SAR or the existence 

of a SAR (31 U.S.C. 5318(g)). 

Current actions: On September 12, 

2017, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (82 FR 

42814) requesting public comment for 

60 days on the extension, without 

revision, of the Reporting, 

Recordkeeping, and Disclosure 

Requirements Associated with the 

Guidance on Response Programs for 

Unauthorized Access to Customer 

Information. The comment period for 

this notice expired on November 13, 

2017. The Federal Reserve did not 

receive any comments. 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, January 17, 2018.

Secretary of the Board.
