WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve Board announced that it would be publishing in the Federal Register a request for comment on proposed amendments to clarify the requirements or certain consumer disclosures in electronic form.

|

The proposal would amend interim final rules issued in 2001 by withdrawing portions that restate or cross-reference provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act) and eliminating provisions that potentially impose unnecessary burdens on electronic banking and commerce that may not bolster consumer protection, while retaining guidance on the use of electronic disclosures. The proposal covers Regulations B (Equal Credit Opportunity Act), E (Electronic Funds Transfer Act), M (Consumer Leasing Act), Z (Truth in Lending Act), and DD (Truth in Savings Act).

The proposal would also implement relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, which mandates certain disclosures for online credit card solicitations.
