SUMMARY 

Background

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it

three years, without revision, of the 

following report: 

Report title: The Recordkeeping and 

Disclosure Requirements in Connection 

with Regulation M (Consumer Leasing). 

Agency form number: Reg M. 

OMB control number: 7100–0202. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Reporters: Consumer lessors. 

Annual reporting hours: Disclosures, 

3,509 hours; and advertising, 25 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Disclosures, 6.5 minutes; and 

advertising, 25 minutes. 

Number of respondents: 270. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is mandatory 

sections 105(a) and 187 of TILA (15 

U.S.C. 1604(a) and 1667(f)) is not given 

confidential treatment. 

Abstract: The Consumer Leasing Act 

and Regulation M are intended to 

provide consumers with meaningful 

disclosures about the costs and terms of 

leases for personal property. The 

disclosures enable consumers to 

compare the terms for a particular lease 

with those for other leases and, when 

appropriate, to compare lease terms 

with those for credit transactions. The 

act and regulation also contain rules 

about advertising consumer leases and 

limit the size of balloon payments in 

consumer lease transactions. The 

information collection pursuant to 

Regulation M is triggered by specific 

events. All disclosures must be 

provided to the lessee prior to the 

consummation of the lease and when 

the availability of consumer leases on 

particular terms is advertised. 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, August 24, 2005. 

Jennifer J. Johnson, 

Secretary of the Board.
