General description of collection: The 

Federal Reserve Act (FRA) requires a 

state member bank to seek prior 

approval of the Board before making an 

investment in bank premises or the 

securities of a corporation holding its 

bank premises in certain circumstances. 

The Board has implemented this 

requirement in its Regulation H— 

Membership of State Banking 

Institutions in the Federal Reserve 

System (12 CFR part 208), which 

requires a state member bank seeking to 

make such an investment to provide 

prior notice to the appropriate Federal 

Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve uses 

the information provided in the notice 

to determine whether to object to the 

proposed investment. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The FR 4014 is 

authorized by section 24A(a) of the 

FRA, which requires that state member 

banks obtain Board approval prior to 

investing in bank premises that exceed 

statutory thresholds.1 The FR 4014 is 

additionally authorized by section 11 of 

the FRA, which authorizes the Board to 

require such statements and reports of 

state member banks as the Board may 

deem necessary.2 The FR 4014 is 

required to obtain a benefit. 

The information contained on the FR 

4014 is not considered confidential 

unless an applicant requests 

confidential treatment in accordance 

with the Board’s Rules Regarding 

Availability of Information.3 Requests 

for confidential treatment of information 

are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

Information provided on the FR 4014 

may be exempt from disclosure 

pursuant to exemption 4 of the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA) if it is 

nonpublic commercial or financial 

information, which is both customarily 

and actually treated as private by the 

respondent.4

Current actions: On February 18, 

2022, the Board published a notice in 

the Federal Register (87 FR 9348) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, without revision, of 

the Investment in Bank Premises 

Notification. The comment period for 

this notice expired on April 19, 2022. 

The Board did not receive any

Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To 

Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to 

final approval, an agreement containing 

a consent order from Harley-Davidson 

Motor Company Group, LLC 

(‘‘Respondent’’ or ‘‘Harley-Davidson’’). 

The proposed consent order 

(‘‘Proposed Order’’) has been placed on 

the public record for thirty (30) days for 

receipt of comments by interested 

persons. Comments received during this 

period will become part of the public 

record. After thirty (30) days, the 

Commission will again review the 

agreement, along with any comments 

received, and will decide whether it 

should withdraw from the agreement 

and take appropriate action or make 

final the Proposed Order. 

This matter involves the warranty that 

Harley-Davidson offers to purchasers of 

its motorcycles. According to the 

Commission’s complaint, HarleyDavidson’s warranty is conditioned on 

purchasers using authorized HarleyDavidson parts and accessories; 

otherwise, the warranty is void. In 

addition, the complaint alleges that 

Harley-Davidson’s warranty does not 

contain a clear explanation of all 

material terms; instead, the warranty 

informs purchasers that they must ask a 

Harley-Davidson dealer to get a full 

explanation of what is covered by the 

warranty, and what is not. 

Based on the foregoing, the 

Commission alleges that Respondent 

violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty 

Act and regulations promulgated 

thereunder, including the Rule 

Governing Disclosure of Written 

Consumer Product Warranty Terms and 

Conditions, and engaged in deceptive 

acts or practices in violation of Section 

5(a) of the FTC Act. 

The Proposed Order contains 

injunctive provisions addressing the 

alleged deceptive conduct. Section I 

prohibits Respondent from (1) expressly 

or implicitly conditioning a warranty on 

a consumer’s use of any article or 

service which is identified by brand, 

trade, or corporate name, unless the 

article or service is offered for free or the 

Commission has issued a waiver to the 

company, or from otherwise violating 

the Warranty Act or the Rules 

promulgated thereunder; and (2) failing 

to disclose all warranty terms in a single 

document that uses simple and readily

understood terms to describe the 

warranty to consumers. Section I 

permits Respondent to not modify its 

existing calendar year 2022 warranty 

documents, provided that Respondent 

provides all purchasers of its calendar 

year 2022 motorcycles with a copy of 

the updated warranty and a customer 

notice and requires its authorized 

dealers to maintain copies of these 

records. 

Section II prohibits Respondent from 

representing to consumers, expressly or 

by implication, (a) that its warranties 

will be void if they use third-party parts 

or services or if they modify or alter the 

product without authorization, or (b) as 

a condition of warranty coverage or in 

the written warranty, that consumers 

should only use branded parts or have 

their product repaired, altered or 

serviced by authorized service 

providers. Respondent will be permitted 

to exclude from its warranty coverage 

(1) damages caused by the use of 

unauthorized parts or services, the use 

of its vehicles for racing or competitions 

or the installation of parts designed for 

unauthorized uses of the vehicle, such 

as trailer hitches, and (2) all functional 

defects of powertrain components for 

any Harley-Davidson motorcycle 

registered in the United States if the 

vehicle was tuned using a tuning 

product not covered by a California Air 

and Resources Board Executive Order or 

that was otherwise approved by the 

Environmental Protection Agency, or if 

Harley-Davidson or any authorized 

Harley-Davidson dealer has any 

information to show that the vehicle 

was tuned using a tuning product not 

covered by a California Air and 

Resources Board Executive Order or that 

was otherwise approved by the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

Section II also requires Respondent to 

include language in the warranty that 

affirmatively notifies consumers of their 

rights to use third-party services and 

parts under the Magnuson-Moss 

Warranty Act and enjoins Respondent 

from misrepresenting any material facts 

to consumers about the warranty. 

Sections III and IV require 

Respondent to inform its customers and 

authorized dealers and service providers 

that its warranty has been updated, and 

that the updated warranty is not 

conditioned on the use of authorized 

parts or services. Respondent must 

clearly and conspicuously post and 

keep on its website the notice and its 

updated warranty terms, and it must 

submit reports regarding its notification 

program. Sections V through VII of the 

Proposed Order are reporting and 

compliance provisions, which include 

recordkeeping requirements and 

provisions requiring Respondent to 

provide information or documents 

necessary for the Commission to 

monitor compliance with the Proposed 

Order. Section IX states that the 

Proposed Order will remain in effect for 

twenty (20) years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to aid 

public comment on the Proposed Order. 

It is not intended to constitute an 

official interpretation of the complaint 

or Proposed Order, or to modify in any 

way the Proposed Order’s terms.

Statement of Chair Lina M. Khan Joined 

by Commissioner Rebecca Kelly 

Slaughter 

Today the Commission announced 

actions settling charges that HarleyDavidson, LLC and MWE Investments, 

LLC (‘‘Westinghouse’’) have engaged in 

unlawful repair restrictions. As stated in 

the complaints, the Commission 

charged Harley-Davidson, which 

manufactures motorcycles and related 

equipment, and Westinghouse, which 

makes and sells outdoor generators and 

related products, with unlawfully 

conditioning their warranties on the use 

of authorized parts in violation of both 

the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and 

the FTC Act. The Commission also 

alleged that Harley-Davidson failed to 

provide a clear description of warranty 

terms in a single document, a violation 

of the Disclosure Rule. 

The consent orders obtained in these 

matters bar both manufacturers from 

continuing the unlawful tying of their 

warranties to the use of authorized 

service or parts and prohibit them from 

misrepresenting any material facts about 

the warranty. Importantly, the firms are 

also required to note clearly and 

conspicuously in public statements that 

using third-party parts or repair services 

will not void the warranty. They must 

also provide customers with clear notice 

alerting them of the change. 

In July 2021, the Commission 

unanimously adopted a policy 

statement that committed the agency to 

prioritizing enforcement actions 

tackling unlawful repair restrictions.1

Today’s enforcement actions—the first 

addressing unlawful repair restrictions 

since we adopted the policy statement— 

mark an important step forward, 

demonstrating our commitment to 

vigorously protecting Americans’ right 

to repair. We are grateful to the Bureau 

of Consumer Protection staff for their 

excellent work driving this effort 

forward. 

Illegal repair restrictions can 

significantly raise costs for consumers, 

stifle innovation, close off business 

opportunity for independent repair 

shops, create unnecessary electronic 

waste, delay timely repairs, and 

undermine resiliency—harms that can 

have an outsized impact on low-income 

communities in particular.2 It is critical 

that unlawful repair restrictions 

continue to be a key area of focus for the 

Commission and that we continue to 

use all of our tools and authorities to 

root out these illegal practices.
