Notice of a Pilot Study to Aid Federal Trade Commission Staff in Conducting a Study of the Accuracy and Completeness of Consumer Reports, Pursuant to Section 319 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003

Samenvatting

Pursuant to section 319 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 ("the Act" or "FACT Act"), the Federal Trade Commission (the "Commission" or "FTC") is evaluating ways to study the accuracy and completeness of consumer reports. The purpose of the current pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a methodology that involves direct review by consumers of the information reported in their consumer reports. Due to the small size of the study group, statistical conclusions will not be drawn from this pilot study. Comments will be considered before the FTC submits a request for Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") review under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
