                                   H.R.   2396
               Privacy  Notification  Technical   Clarification Act

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on October 12, 2017


 Once each year, under current law, financial institutions are required to disclose to all
 customers their policies and practices regarding the collection of customers' private
 personal information and the disclosure of such information to affiliates and third parties.
 The Consumer  Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Securities and Exchange
 Commission  (SEC), Commodity  Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),  and Federal
 Trade Commission  (FTC) are authorized to promulgate rules to enforce those
 requirements.

 H.R. 2396 would exempt financial institutions from that annual disclosure requirement, if
 they:

    *  Have  not changed their policies and practices related to the disclosure of private
       personal information since their most recent disclosure;

    *  Make  those policies available online and upon request through the mail or over the
       telephone; and

    *  Periodically notify customers of the availability of information on those policies
       and practices.

 Using information from the FTC, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2396 would
 cost less than $500,000 for the FTC and CFTC to update agency guidance documents
 related to the disclosure of customer information. That spending would be subject to the
 availability of appropriated funds. The SEC also would incur costs of less than $500,000.
 However, because the SEC is authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset its annual
 appropriation, CBO estimates that the net effect of the bill on discretionary spending by
 the SEC would be negligible, assuming appropriation actions that are consistent with that
 authority.

 Using information from CFPB, CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2396 would increase
 direct spending by less than $500,000 for the agency to update its guidance documents.
 Because H.R. 2396 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
 Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
