[[Page 29136]]
Martin Building is located on C Street, NW., between 20th and 21st
Streets.
The Council's function is to advise the Board on the exercise of
the Board's responsibilities under various consumer financial services
laws and on other matters on which the Board seeks its advice. Time
permitting, the Council will discuss the following topics:
Proposed rules regarding credit cards and overdraft
services.
Members will discuss the Board's proposal under the Federal Trade
Commission Act to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices by
banks in connection with credit card accounts and overdraft services
for deposit accounts. The proposed changes to the Board's Regulation AA
(Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices) would be complemented by
separate proposals under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) and
the Truth in Savings Act (Regulation DD).
Proposed rules on risk-based pricing notices.
Members will discuss proposed regulations that generally would
require a creditor to provide a consumer with a risk-based pricing
notice when, based in whole or in part on the consumer's credit report,
the creditor offers or provides credit to the consumer on terms less
favorable than those it offers or provides to other consumers. The
proposal would implement section 311 of the Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Reports by committees and other matters initiated by Council
members also may be discussed.
Persons wishing to submit views to the Council on any of the above
topics may do so by sending written statements to Jennifer Kerslake,
Secretary of the Consumer Advisory Council, Division of Consumer and
Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, May 14, 2008.
