Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 217 / Monday, November 13, 2017 / Notices 52287 

1 ‘‘Credit card issuer’’ refers to any entity to 

which a consumer is legally obligated, or would be 

legally obligated, under the terms of a credit card 

agreement. Alternatively, you can also be included 

in this list if you are a bank or a credit union and 

you contract with a third party to issue credit cards 

on your behalf and under your brand name. 

2 ‘‘Customers’’ refers to individuals, not 

corporations or small businesses. 

3By ‘‘credit score’’ we refer to a score that is 

empirically derived, demonstrably and statistically 

sound, and based on current data from a consumer 

reporting agency to predict the likelihood of certain 

credit behavior for the applicant. 

submitted last year to be included in the 

new list without any changes. Or, 

alternatively, please submit a new entry 

providing an update on how your 

company offers this service to 

consumers. 

II. Criteria To Be Included in the 

Update to This Public List 

If your company is a credit card 

issuer, fits the criteria outlined below, 

and would like to be included in the 

updated list the Bureau plans to 

publish, contact us by following the 

instructions included in this Notice for 

submitting an entry.1

If your company is not a credit card 

issuer, but offers existing consumer 

customers free access to a credit score, 

fits the criteria outlined below, and 

would like to be included in a possible 

list for companies in other markets, you 

may contact us as well. Depending on 

the feedback received, the Bureau may 

decide to expand the scope of the initial 

list of companies offering free credit 

scores beyond credit card issuers to 

companies in some other markets, 

include such companies in a future 

separate list, or decide not to publish a 

list of companies in other markets 

offering this service. 

To be included in this list of credit 

card issuers, or in a possible list of 

companies in other markets, you must 

meet the following criteria: 

• Offer or provide a consumer 

financial product or service; 

• Offer existing customers 2 (at least 

some, but not necessarily all) the ability 

to obtain free of charge a credit score 3

that either your company or other 

lenders use for account origination, 

portfolio management, or for other 

business purposes; 

• Offer this access to a credit score on 

a continuous basis, as opposed to on a 

time-limited or promotional basis, and 

periodically update the score. 

You may include other information 

you think is relevant for consumers 

reading the public list to understand 

whether the service applies to them. 

The updated list will include a link to 

the comment your company submits— 

or a link to your company’s entry from 

last year, if you indicate that you would 

like last year’s submission to be 

included again. Consumers reading the 

list will be encouraged to check this 

information, or to contact each 

company, to find out which specific 

credit card or financial products are 

eligible for the service, and on what 

conditions, if any. 

By responding to this Federal 

Register Notice (FRN) you are stating 

that you meet the criteria and are 

consenting to include the name of your 

company in a public list of credit card 

issuers, or in a possible list of 

companies in other markets as 

applicable, offering free access to credit 

scores to their existing customers. The 

Bureau reserves the right to conduct due 

diligence on a company’s assertions 

about meeting the criteria stated in this 

notice. Your response to this FRN and 

inclusion in this public list are 

completely voluntary, and your choice 

to do so, or refrain from doing so, is not 

connected to supervisory activity by the 

Bureau. 

We emphasize that these lists will be 

created to further inform the public 

about where to find a credit score, and 

will not be an endorsement of the 

financial institutions, credit card 

issuers, or any other company 

mentioned in any document the Bureau 

publishes. 

Thank you for your contribution to 

improve consumer financial awareness.

Abstract: The Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education (TEACH) Grant program is a 

non-need-based grant program that 

provides up to $4,000 per year to 

students who are enrolled in an eligible 

program and who agree to teach in a 

high-need field, at a low-income 

elementary or secondary school for at 

least four years within eight years of 

completing the program for which the 

TEACH Grant was awarded. The 

TEACH Grant program regulations are 

required to ensure accountability of the 

program participants, both institutions 

and student recipients, for proper 

program administration, to determine 

eligibility to receive program benefits 

and to prevent fraud and abuse of 

program funds. The regulations include 

both record-keeping and reporting 

requirements. The record-keeping by the 

school allows for review of compliance 

with the regulation during on-site 

institutional reviews. The Department 

uses the required reporting to allow for 

close-out of institutions that are no 

longer participating or who lose 

eligibility to participate in the program.

Instructions and Information on the 

Public Meeting 

The public meeting will be held via 

WebEx. The public meeting will begin 

at 1:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. 

Agenda details will be available prior to 

the meeting on the NETL Web site,

The objective of the Supercritical CO2

Oxy-combustion Technology Group is to 

promote a technical understanding of 

oxy-combustion for direct-fired sCO2

power cycles by sharing information or 

viewpoints from individual participants 

regarding risk reduction and challenges 

associated with developing the 

technology. 

Oxy-combustion systems in directly 

heated supercritical CO2 (SCO2) power 

cycles utilize natural gas or syngas oxycombustion systems to produce a high 

temperature SCO2 working fluid and 

have the potential to be efficient, cost 

effective and well-suited for carbon 

dioxide (CO2) capture. To realize the 

benefits of direct fired SCO2 power 

cycles, the following challenges must be 

addressed: Chemical kinetic 

uncertainties, combustion instability, 

flowpath design, thermal management, 

pressure containment, definition/ 

prediction of turbine inlet conditions, 

ignition, off-design operation, transient 

capabilities, in-situ flame monitoring, 

and modeling, among others. 

The format of the meeting will 

facilitate equal opportunity for 

discussion among all participants; all 

participants will be welcome to speak. 

Following a detailed presentation by 

one volunteer participant regarding 

lessons learned from his or her area of 

research, other participants will be 

provided the opportunity to briefly 

share lessons learned from their own 

research. Meetings are expected to take 

place every other month with a different 

volunteer presenting at each meeting. 

Meeting minutes shall be published for 

those who are unable to attend. 

This meeting is considered ‘‘open-tothe-public;’’ the purpose for this 

meeting has been examined during the 

planning stages, and NETL management 

has made specific determinations that 

affect attendance. All information 

presented at this meeting must meet 

criteria for public sharing or be 

published and available in the public 

domain. Participants should not 

communicate information that is 

considered official use only, 

proprietary, sensitive, restricted or 

protected in any way. Foreign nationals, 

who may be present, have not been 

approved for access to DOE information 

and technologies.
