CFPB Issues Request For Information On Rulemaking Processes

MAR 07, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) today issued a Request for Information (RFI) about the Bureau’s rulemaking processes. The Bureau is seeking comments and information from interested parties to help assess the overall efficiency and effectiveness of its rulemaking processes. This is the seventh in a series of RFIs announced as part of Acting Director Mick Mulvaney’s call for evidence to ensure the Bureau is fulfilling its proper and appropriate functions to best protect consumers. This RFI will provide an opportunity for the public to submit feedback and suggest ways to improve outcomes for both consumers and covered entities. The next RFI in the series will address the Bureau’s adopted rules, and will be issued next week.

The RFI on rulemaking processes is available at:https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_rfi_rulemaking-processes_032018.pdf

The CFPB will begin accepting comments once the RFI is printed in the Federal Register, which is expected to occur on March 9. The RFI will be open for comment for 90 days.

The Bureau anticipates issuing RFIs on the following topics in the coming weeks:

Bureau Adopted Rules
Inherited Rules
Guidance and Implementation Support
Consumer Education
Consumer Inquiries
