The Federal Trade Commission seeks public comment on extending the information collection requirements for its Risk-Based Pricing Rule. This affects motor vehicle dealers and certain other entities under shared enforcement with the CFPB and is aimed at ensuring transparency when consumer credit terms are less favorable. The continuation would mean adhering to existing compliance efforts for another three years.
