          Subject: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection: Fair Credit Reporting
                  (Regulation V)

          Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau),
          entitled Fair Credit Reporting (Regulation V) (RIN: 3170-AA06). We received the
          rule on December 29, 2011. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim
          final rule with request for public comment on December 21, 2011. 76 Fed. Reg.
          79,308.

          The interim final rule with request for public comment establishes a new Regulation
          V (Fair Credit Reporting). The rule does not impose any new substantive obligations
          on persons subject to the existing Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulations.
          The interim final rule substantially duplicates the interagency regulations
          promulgated under the FCRA by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
          System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Trade Commission
          (FTC), the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the
          Currency, and the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the interim final rule
          substantially duplicates the following FTC regulations: 16 C.F.R. parts 603, 610,
          611, 613, 614, and 642, and associated model forms and disclosures. The interim
          final rule reproduces the above regulations and associated model forms and
          interpretations with only certain nonsubstantive, technical, formatting, and stylistic
