Report title: The Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements in Connection with Regulation M (Consumer Leasing).
Agency form number: Reg M.
OMB control number: 7100-0202.

General description of report: This information collection is mandatory (sections 105(a) and 187 of TILA (15 U.S.C. 1604(a) and 1667f)) and is not given confidential treatment.
Abstract: The Consumer Leasing Act and Regulation M are intended to provide consumers with meaningful disclosures about the costs and terms of leases for personal property. The disclosures enable consumers to compare the terms for a particular lease with those for other leases and, when appropriate, to compare lease terms with those for credit transactions. The act and regulation also contain rules about advertising consumer leases and limit the size of balloon payments in consumer lease transactions. The information collection pursuant to Regulation M is triggered by specific events. All disclosures must be provided to the lessee prior to the consummation of the lease and when the availability of consumer leases on particular terms is advertised.
Current actions: On July 14, 2008, the Federal Reserve published a notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 40349) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of this information collection. The comment period for this notice expired on September 12, 2008. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Dated: September 24, 2008.
Jennifer J. Johnson,
Secretary of the Board.
