SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Bureau is issuing this document to correct an error in one of the amendments to the official interpretation for Regulation Z. The Bureau finds that there is good cause to publish this correction without seeking public comment.^[1] Public comment is unnecessary because the Bureau is correcting an inadvertent, technical error about which there is minimal, if any, basis for substantive disagreement. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not require an initial or final regulatory flexibility analysis.^[2] The Bureau has determined that these corrections do not impose any new or revise any existing recordkeeping, reporting, or disclosure requirements on covered entities or members of the public that would be collections of information requiring OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.^[3]

II. Correction
