Once the account review is completed the financial institution must notify the accountholder of the receipt of the garnishment order and provide certain additional information. In addition, a financial institution must maintain certain records of account activity and actions taken in response to garnishment orders sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the rule. *Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profit institutions. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 24,167.
