Updated as of May 29, 2018 Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011, including most provisions of Subtitle A of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act), with respect to financial institutions described in section 504 of the GLB Act. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) created the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection-also known as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)-to regulate the offering and provision of consumer financial products or services under the federal consumer financial laws. According to the act, CFPB's mission is to implement and enforce federal consumer financial law consistently to ensure that markets for consumer financial services and products are fair, transparent, and competitive, among other things. The act directs CFPB to carry out its mission by, among other things, collecting, researching, monitoring, and publishing information relevant to the functioning of markets for consumer financial products and services to identify risks to consumers and the proper functioning of such markets. Prior to and during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, we and others noted that the lack of data on consumer financial products and services hindered federal oversight in areas such as mortgages and fair lending.
