    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Mandatory Disclosures as Part of Limitations on Terms of Consumer Credit Extended to Service Members and Dependents; OMB Control Number 0704-0444.

    Needs and Uses: With respect to any extension of consumer credit to a covered borrower, a creditor is required to provide to the borrower a statement of Military Annual Percentage Rate (MAPR). The required information would be included in standard account agreements. Additionally, a creditor may, at its discretion, identify the status of a consumer-applicant, as permitted under 32 CFR, 232.5(b) of the Final Rule and, in the event that the information indicates that consumer-applicant is not a covered borrower, take advantage of a safe harbor from liability under 10 U.S.C. 987 by retaining a record of the information so obtained. This includes Military Annual Percentage Rate (MAPR) applicable to the extension of consumer credit, and the total dollar amount of all charges included in the MAPR.

    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.

    Annual Burden Hours: 2,000,000.

    Number of Respondents: 37,500.

    Responses per Respondent: Varies by type of respondent.

    Annual Responses: 238,000,000.

    Average Burden per Response: 30 seconds.

    Frequency: As required.

    Respondents are creditors extending consumer credit as defined in the Final Start Printed Page 41071Rule (32 CFR, 232.3(f)) to covered borrowers (32 CFR, 232.3(g)) property. Each response is a statutory requirement that obligates creditors to provide a clear description of the payment obligation of the covered member or dependent, as applicable. A payment schedule may satisfy this requirement.

    The creditor shall provide the disclosures in writing in a form the covered borrower can keep. The creditor also shall provide the required disclosures orally. In mail and internet transactions, the creditor satisfies this requirement by providing a toll-free telephone number on or with the written disclosures that consumers may use to obtain oral disclosures. One disclosure for each transaction involving consumer credit; one covered-borrower check for each transaction involving consumer credit.
