    General Description of Collection: Regulations E & DD (Consumer 
Financial Protection Bureau's Regulations) and Regulation CC (the 
Federal Reserve's Regulation) ensure adequate disclosures regarding 
accounts, including electronic fund transfer services, availability of 
funds, and fees and annual percentage yield for

[[Page 11201]]

deposit accounts. Generally, the Regulation E disclosures are designed 
to ensure consumers receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, 
and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided 
to them so that they can make informed decisions. Institutions offering 
EFT services must disclose to consumers certain information, including: 
Initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer's 
potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution 
rights and procedures.
    Like Regulation E, Regulation CC has consumer protection disclosure 
requirements. Specifically, Regulation CC requires depository 
institutions to make funds deposited in transaction accounts available 
within specified time periods, disclose their availability policies to 
customers, and begin accruing interest on such deposits promptly. The 
disclosures are intended to alert customers that their ability to use 
deposited funds may be delayed, prevent unintentional (and costly) 
overdrafts, and allow customers to compare the policies of different 
institutions before deciding at which institution to deposit funds. 
Depository institutions must also provide an awareness disclosure 
regarding substitute checks. The regulation also requires notice to the 
depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check.
    Regulation DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure 
requirements that are intended to assist consumers in comparing deposit 
accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of 
fees, the annual percentage yield, and other account terms. Regulation 
DD requires depository institutions to disclose yields, fees, and other 
terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at account opening, upon 
request, and when changes in terms occur. Depository institutions that 
provide periodic statements are required to include information about 
fees imposed, interest earned, and the annual percentage yield (APY) 
earned during those statement periods. It also contains rules about 
advertising deposit accounts.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. 
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic 
fluctuation and the reduced number of FDIC-supervised institutions 
since the last submission in 2014. In particular, the number of 
respondents has decreased while the hours per response and frequency of 
responses have remained the same.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.
