The disclosures in this collection are required by the statute and implementing regulations. Consumers use the disclosures required by RESPA and Regulation X to inform their choice of settlement service providers, review the final terms of a settlement, understand whom to contact about questions concerning their mortgage loan, and identify/protect themselves against inaccurate or questionable loan servicing practices. 1 12 CFR parts 1024.1-.41. 2 12 U.S.C. 2601 *et seq.* Regulation X requires these information collections. However, to the extent that compliance with requirements in Regulation Z 3 provides an exemption from compliance with similar requirements in Regulation X, any relevant information collection burden is accounted for in OMB Control Number 3170-0015. 3 12 CFR 1026. *Request for Comments:* The CFPB published a 60-day **Federal Register** notice on February 8, 2023, (88 FR 8262) under Docket Number: CFPB-2023-0013. The CFPB is publishing this notice and soliciting comments on:
(a)Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the CFPB, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b)The accuracy of the CFPB's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions used;
(c)Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(d)Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be reviewed by OMB as part of its review of this request. All comments will become a matter of public record. Anthony May, Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. [FR Doc. 2023-18760 Filed 8-29-23; 8:45 am]
