Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Notices 3045 

conspicuously, this information 

required by TILA and Regulation Z. 

Respondent’s failure to disclose this 

information undermined consumers’ 

ability to compare these offers to others 

in the marketplace. Through its law 

enforcement actions, the Commission 

intends to promote compliance with the 

disclosure requirements of TILA and 

Regulation Z, and to foster comparison 

shopping for mortgage loans. 

The proposed consent order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

respondent from violating the FTC Act 

or failing to make clear and conspicuous 

disclosures required by TILA and 

Regulation Z in the future. The 

proposed consent order requires 

respondent to comply with the TILA 

and Regulation Z, as has been amended, 

see 73 Fed. Reg. 44,522 (July 30, 2008), 

and as may be further amended in the 

future. 

Part I of the proposed order prohibits 

respondent, in connection with closedend credit, from advertising a monthly 

payment amount unless respondent 

discloses, clearly and conspicuously 

and in close proximity to those 

representations, as applicable, that the 

advertised monthly payment amount: 

(1) applies only for a limited period of 

time, after which it will increase; (2) 

does not include the amount of interest 

that the consumer owes each month; 

and (3) is less than the monthly 

payment amount (including interest) 

that the consumer owes, with the 

difference added to the total amount 

due from the consumer or total loan 

balance. 

Part II of the proposed order prohibits 

respondent, in connection with closedend credit, from advertising a rate lower 

than the rate at which interest is 

accruing, regardless of whether the rate 

is referred to as an ‘‘effective rate,’’ a 

‘‘payment rate,’’ a ‘‘qualifying rate,’’ or 

any other term, provided that this 

provision does not prohibit 

advertisement of the ‘‘annual percentage 

rate’’ or ‘‘APR.’’ In light of respondent’s 

deceptive use of payment rates in its 

advertisements, and the Federal Reserve 

Board’s amendments to Regulation Z 

banning the use of such rates effective 

October 1, 2009, the proposed order 

prohibits respondent from advertising 

any such rate, to ensure that 

respondent’s advertisements do not 

deceive consumers. See 73 Fed. Reg. at 

44,608. 

Part III of the proposed order 

prohibits respondent, in connection 

with closed-end credit, from advertising 

the amount of any payment, the number 

of payments or the period of repayment, 

or the amount of any finance charge, 

without disclosing, clearly and 

conspicuously, all of the terms required 

by TILA and Regulation Z, including the 

terms of repayment; the APR; and if the 

APR may be increased after 

consummation, that fact. 

Part IV of the proposed order 

prohibits respondent, in connection 

with closed-end credit, from stating a 

rate of finance charge without stating 

the rate as an APR, as required by TILA 

and Regulation Z. 

Part V of the proposed order prohibits 

respondent from failing to comply in 

any respect with TILA or Regulation Z. 

Part VI of the proposed order contains 

a document retention requirement, the 

purpose of which is to ensure 

compliance with the proposed order. It 

requires that respondent maintain all 

records that will demonstrate 

compliance with the proposed order. 

Part VII of the proposed order requires 

respondent to distribute copies of the 

order to various principals, officers, 

directors, and managers, and all current 

and future employees, agents and 

representatives having responsibilities 

with respect to the subject matter of the 

order. 

Part VIII of the proposed order 

requires respondent to notify the 

Commission of any changes in its 

corporate structure that might affect 

compliance with this order. Part IX of 

the proposed order requires respondent 

to file with the Commission one or more 

reports detailing compliance with the 

order. 

Part X of the proposed order is a 

‘‘sunset’’ provision, dictating the 

conditions under which the order will 

terminate twenty years from the date it 

is issued or twenty years after a 

complaint is filed in federal court, by 

either the United States or the FTC, 

alleging any violations of the order. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order, and it is not intended 

to constitute an official interpretation of 

the agreement and proposed order or to 

modify in any way their terms. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

Proposed Project 

Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) 

Morbidity Surveillance—New— 

National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is responsible for the 

reporting and dissemination of 

nationally notifiable STD morbidity 

information for prevention and control 

purposes in collaboration with state and 

local health departments. Recent 

changes in sexually transmitted disease 

(STD) epidemiology in the United States 

indicate that the existing passive 

surveillance for STD does not include 

all the elements needed in order to 

control and prevent STDs in the U.S. 

Towards that end, CDC is proposing a 

new electronic information collection 

called STD Morbidity Surveillance that 

will include information on laboratory 

confirmation of syphilis infection and 

risk behaviors of persons infected with 

syphilis and other STDs. Physicians and 

other providers collect demographic, 

risk, and clinical (including laboratory) 

information from persons diagnosed 

with notifiable STDs during a clinical 

encounter or counseling session. The
