{"abstract":"The Board is adopting a final rule amending Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, to revise the disclosure requirements for credit and charge card solicitations and applications. The act requires disclosure of the annual percentage rate (APR) and other cost information in direct mail and other applications and solicitations to open card accounts. The amendments to Regulation Z are intended to enhance consumers' ability to notice and understand this cost information that generally must be provided in the form of a table. Under the final rule, disclosures must be in a readily understandable form and readily noticeable to consumers. The APR disclosed for purchase transactions must be in 18-point type. Cash advance and balance transfer APRs must be included in the table and any balance transfer fee must be disclosed either in or outside of the table. Additional guidance is provided on the requirement that the card solicitation and application disclosures be prominently located, and on the level of detail about cost information required or permitted in the table.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2000/10/03/00-25316.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":226,"title":12}],"citation":"65 FR 58903","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The rule is effective September 27, 2000; compliance is mandatory as of October 1, 2001.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Regulation Z","Docket No. R-1070"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"00-25316","effective_on":"2000-09-27","end_page":58911,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2000/10/03/00-25316.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/10/03/00-25316/truth-in-lending","images":{"ER03OC00.008":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_original_size.png"},"ER03OC00.007":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_original_size.png"}},"images_metadata":{"ER03OC00.008":{"large":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.008","content_type":"image/png","size":62381,"width":822,"sha":"f5204f6a748feb304ed28d2500a98ef8","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_large.png","height":783},"medium":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.008","content_type":"image/png","size":25834,"width":479,"sha":"dba7d69d97a073faf1d2860f9a391c64","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_medium.png","height":456},"original_size":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.008","content_type":"image/png","size":104183,"width":3616,"sha":"458eeaef4b80f2de132179afd6943d54","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.008/ER03OC00.008_original_size.png","height":3443}},"ER03OC00.007":{"large":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.007","content_type":"image/png","size":68905,"width":821,"sha":"10a4db5cceead974275666e92dd46b83","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_large.png","height":913},"medium":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.007","content_type":"image/png","size":36795,"width":521,"sha":"28c07b89515c717ad9d21869891107d3","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_medium.png","height":579},"original_size":{"identifier":"ER03OC00.007","content_type":"image/png","size":126668,"width":3939,"sha":"19c699d2f78e287fc992ec9ee8ac4e4c","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03OC00.007/ER03OC00.007_original_size.png","height":4379}}},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/00-25316?publication_date=2000-10-03","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2000-10-03/00-25316/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":9,"page_views":{"count":393,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-10-03/pdf/00-25316.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2000-10-03","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2000/10/03/00-25316.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":58903,"subtype":null,"title":"Truth in Lending","toc_doc":"Credit and charge card solicitations and applications; disclosure requirements","toc_subject":"Truth in lending (Regulation Z):","topics":["Advertising","Federal Reserve System","Mortgages","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Truth in lending"],"type":"Rule","volume":65}
