    (a) In general. Except as modified by this part or unless the 
context otherwise requires, the terms used in this part have the same 
meaning as set forth in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et 
seq.

whether in paper, electronic, or other form, that is a consumer report 
or is derived from a consumer report. Consumer information also means a

information that does not identify individuals, such as aggregate 
information or blind data.
    (c) ``Dispose,'' ``disposing,'' or ``disposal'' means:
    (1) The discarding or abandonment of consumer information, or
    (2) The sale, donation, or transfer of any medium, including 
computer equipment, upon which consumer information is stored.
