Abstract: Section 502 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (Pub. L. 106-102) generally prohibits a financial institution from sharing
nonpublic personal information about a consumer with nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution satisfies various
disclosure requirements (e.g ., provision of initial privacy notices, annual notices, notices of revisions to the institution's privacy policy and opt-out
notices) and the consumer has not elected to opt out of the information sharing. The Bureau promulgated Regulation P (12 CFR
1016) to implement the GLBA notice requirements and restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose nonpublic
personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.

Request for Comments: The CFPB published a 60-day

  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.
