Copies of the OMB 83-Is and supporting statements and approved collection of information instrument(s) are placed into OMB's public docket files. The Federal Reserve may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Since the Federal Reserve does not collect any information, no issue of confidentiality arises. Transaction-or account-specific disclosures and billing error allegations are not publicly available and are confidential between the creditor and consumer. Abstract: Regulation Z (12 CFR part 226) implements the Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1601 *et seq.* ). The act and regulation ensure adequate disclosure of the costs and terms of credit to consumers on an event-generated basis.
For open-end credit (revolving credit accounts), creditors are required to disclose information about the initial costs and terms and to provide periodic statements of account activity, notices of change in terms, and statements of rights concerning billing error procedures. The regulation also requires specific types of disclosures for credit and charge card accounts, and home equity plans. For closed-end loans (such as mortgage and installment loans) cost disclosures are required to be provided prior to consummation.
Specific products trigger special disclosures, such as reverse mortgages, certain variable rate loans, and certain mortgages with rates and fees above a specific amount. Regulation Z also contains rules concerning credit advertising. Creditors are required to retain records as evidence of compliance with Regulation Z for twenty-four months (subpart D, section 226.25). Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, April 13, 2000. Jennifer J. Johnson, Secretary of the Board. [FR Doc. 00-9677 Filed 4-17-00; 8:45 am]
