Federal larger-participant consumer-debt-collection supervision criteria

Actual research access date: October 28, 2026, America/Los_Angeles.

The latest accessible eCFR body retained 12 CFR 1090.105, including the test of more than $10 million in annual receipts resulting from the rule’s defined consumer debt collection. The indispensable general provisions are §§1090.100–1090.103. The final eCFR recheck displayed Title 12 as current through October 26, 2026; that is a compilation cutoff, not a certification of every subsequent amendment or judicial development. The accessible U.S. Code bodies displayed a different cutoff: laws in effect through Public Law 119-124, October 15, 2026. [C001–C003, C058, C096] ecfr.gov+2

The selected framework requires separate treatment of the covered-person category, the defined collection activity, the receipts calculation, affiliate aggregation, continuing status, and the procedure for disputing status. A threshold result alone would not prove current examination, licensing, legitimacy, compliance, ownership of a debt, or entitlement to collect it. The later materials authenticated here include a 2025 advance notice of proposed rulemaking and a 2026 regulatory-agenda entry; neither is adopted replacement language for §1090.105. [C009, C013–C041, C049–C070, C092–C095] ecfr.gov+2

All findings below concern public legal categories. No organization, affiliate group, account, portfolio, transaction, supervisory communication, or financial record was investigated or classified.

Register convention. In cross-references, “S001,” “C001,” “M001,” and “B001” mean R091-P1-S001, R091-P1-C001, R091-P1-M001, and R091-P1-B001, respectively. Source and claim registers give the full identifiers.

R091-P1-S001 Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection; OFR/GPO codification, 12 CFR Part 1090—Defining Larger Participants of Certain Consumer Financial Product and Service Markets. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-12/chapter-X/part-1090; section view: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-12/chapter-X/part-1090/subpart-B/section-1090.105; annual edition: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2025-title12-vol9/pdf/CFR-2025-title12-vol9-part1090.pdf Complete authority/source notes and §§1090.100, .101, .102, .103, .105. Annual edition: §§.100–.103, P1173–1175/I0–2; §.105, P1176–1178/I3–5. Other market provisions were not substantively investigated. Final eCFR display: through 10/26/2026; Title 12 last amended 10/23/2026. Earlier captures displayed earlier cutoffs, retained in the log. eCFR describes itself as authoritative but unofficial, not the official legal edition. Annual CFR: January 1, 2025 edition, historical support only. Selected effective dates are authenticated separately in S012–S016.
R091-P1-S002 Office of the Law Revision Counsel, 12 USC 5514—Supervision of nondepository covered persons. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5514/ Complete §5514(a)–(f), source credit, amendment note, references note, and effective-date note. HTML; no PDF pagination. Displayed laws in effect through PL119-124, 10/15/2026. Enacted statutory text; original and material amendment examined in S009–S010. No exhaustive later-law or judicial audit.
R091-P1-S003 OLRC, 12 USC 5481—Definitions. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5481/ Complete selected definitions (1)–(11), (14), (15)(A)–(C), (17), (19), (24)–(27). Especially the complete financial-product/service and service-provider definitions. Surrounding portions were encountered, but no claim that every incorporated financial-law regime was investigated. Same 10/15/2026 statutory cutoff. Definition text and editorial notes distinguished. Underlying insurance, securities, banking, transferred-law, and other regimes remain bounded dependencies where relevant.
R091-P1-S004 OLRC, 12 USC 5512—Rulemaking authority. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5512/ Complete (a), (b)(1)–(4), and (c)(1)–(9) read; reliance is principally on (a), (b)(1), (b)(3), (c)(5)–(9). Effective-date note read. Section (d), unrelated subsidiary provisions, and incorporated regimes are not treated as completed investigations. Same statutory cutoff. Section 1029A’s special commencement clause applies to §1022, codified here. S009 authenticates that clause. Registration and confidentiality authority are distinguished from particular implementing rules or actual registration/disclosure.
R091-P1-S005 OLRC, 12 USC 5515 and 5516, institutional exclusions. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5515/; https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5516/ Complete §5515(a) and §5516(a). Remainders not used as a completed bank-supervision dossier. Same statutory cutoff. The two provisions have different affiliate wording. Original subtitle application is governed by S009’s §1029A, subject to its express exceptions. No actual insured status or asset measure established.
R091-P1-S006 OLRC, incorporated institutional definitions. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s5301/; https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s1813/; https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s1752/ Complete selected §5301(9), (18)(A); §1813(a)–(c); §1752(1), (5)–(7). These support the insured-depository/credit-union terminology; they do not complete chartering, insurance, or all banking definitions. Same statutory cutoff. Current codified definitions read; their complete historical amendment chains were not authenticated. Special §1813(c)(3) treatment is not transposed beyond its expressly stated purpose.
R091-P1-S007 OLRC, 12 USC 1867—Regulation and examination of bank service companies. https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t12/s1867/ Complete §1867(c), the incorporation in §5514(e). Same statutory cutoff. Narrow service-provider analogy only. The full bank-service, appropriate-agency, notice, and enforcement regimes remain held.

Other exclusions and their nested incorporations are not represented as fully resolved. Same statutory cutoff. No attorney, professional, or other actor was classified. State-law practice boundaries and enumerated-law application remain held.
R091-P1-S019 Internal Revenue Service, Publication 538, Accounting Periods and Methods. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p538 Selected complete headings on Accounting Periods, Calendar Year, Fiscal Year, 52–53-Week Tax Year, and Short Tax Year introduction. Not the whole publication; no return or form-specific income/COGS instruction was examined. Displayed Publication 538 (01/2022), revised January 2022. Official tax instruction, not an amendment to §1090.105. It supports accounting-period terminology; return-specific receipt classification remains unresolved.
R091-P1-S020 Bureau/OFR/GPO, narrow confidentiality provisions. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-12/chapter-X/part-1070/subpart-A/section-1070.2; https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-12/chapter-X/part-1070/subpart-D/section-1070.40; https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-12/chapter-X/part-1070/subpart-D/section-1070.41 Complete §1070.2, with reliance limited to material definitions; complete §§1070.40 and .41(a)–(e). No complete Part 1070, FOIA, privacy, privilege, or disclosure-request investigation. Final displays through 10/26/2026. Official-hosted, unofficial codification.

2. Substantive findings and atomic claim register

A. Organization, legal status, and historical application

Claim ID Supported finding, with qualification Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C001 The selected provision exists in the accessed current body as §1090.105, Consumer debt collection market. The applicable general provisions are .100 Scope and purpose; .101 Definitions; .102 Status as larger participant subject to supervision; .103 Assessing status as a larger participant. S001, complete selected sections and headings.
R091-P1-C002 The final eCFR display was through 10/26/2026, with a Title12-wide last-amended label of 10/23/2026. Neither label says §1090.105 itself was amended on that date. The annual official CFR examined is the 1/1/2025 edition. S001, currency banner, legal-status notice, annual-edition header.
R091-P1-C003 The accessible statutory bodies display laws in effect through PL119-124, 10/15/2026. They do not, by themselves, establish the complete statutory chain through the access date. S002–S008, displayed currency; failure log.
R091-P1-C004 The original general Part1090 provisions examined were published 7/20/2012, effective 9/30/2012. Their historical officer designation must not replace the present §.101/.103 wording. S012, DATES; adopted §§.100–.103; S016.
R091-P1-C005 The debt-collection final rule was published 10/31/2012, effective 1/2/2013. Section IV expressly adopts that effective date; it is not inferred solely from a source credit. S013, DATES; IV.B; adopted §.105.
R091-P1-C006 The readable correction rendition states publication 12/7/2012, effectiveness 1/2/2013, and four corrections: three internal references and insertion of the paragraph (b) designation. Original-PDF access remains a gap. S014, complete correcting instructions1–4 and DATES.
R091-P1-C007 The 2015 amendment revises the nonbank-covered-person definition and expressly provides that a former affiliate that ceased affiliation during the measurement period remains aggregated for the entire period. S015, instructions3 and5, effective 8/31/2015; S001 §.105(a), annual receipts(iii)(D).
R091-P1-C008 The 2024 amendment substitutes Supervision Director and its delegation definition. Electronic submission and electronic delivery of the determination already appeared in the original 2012 procedure; they were not newly created in 2024. S016, instructions13–15; S012 §.103(a),(c); S001 §.101.
R091-P1-C009 The 2025 document is an advance notice, seeking information about whether to propose changes. The later agenda entry is planning information. Neither examined body adopts a replacement receipts threshold. S017, ACTION, SUMMARY, sectionIII; S018, stage and timetable.
R091-P1-C010 A narrow discrepancy remains: correction instruction2 replaces the second example reference in annual-receipts(iii)(C) with “(ii)(B)”; current eCFR and the examined annual CFR print “(ii)” there. The main annualization rule in (ii)(B) is present, but the intervening reason for this citation difference was not authenticated. S014, instruction2; S001, §.105(a), annual receipts(iii)(C).
R091-P1-C011 Original statutory §§1022 and1024 became effective on 7/21/2010 under §1029A’s express exception. The generally designated transfer date was 7/21/2011. These dates differ from Part1090’s later regulatory effective dates. S009, §§4,1029A,1062; S011, operative designation.
R091-P1-C012 The enacted 2014 amendment adds State agencies that license, supervise, or examine consumer-financial-product/service offerings to §5514(b)(3), and preserves claimed privilege/confidentiality against outsiders when information is shared among the specified regulators. S010 §2; S002 §5514(b)(3).

These status findings establish the text and history actually authenticated, while preserving the original-correction gap and the difference between a rulemaking proposal and an adopted rule. ecfr.gov+9

B. Covered-person, consumer, product/service, and affiliation definitions

Claim ID Supported finding, with all material qualifications Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C013 Part1090 defines larger participants for supervision under §5514(a)(1)(B) and (a)(2), and facilitates supervision under (b)(7). The debt-collection criterion is a market-specific supervisory category. S001 §.100 and authority citation; S002 §5514(a)(1)(B),(a)(2),(b)(7)(A); S004 §5512(b)(1).
R091-P1-C014 “Person” includes an individual, partnership, company, corporation, incorporated or unincorporated association, trust, estate, cooperative organization, or other entity. It is not confined to corporations. S001 §.101, Person; S003 §5481(19).
R091-P1-C015 “Consumer” means an individual or an agent, trustee, or representative acting on an individual’s behalf. A generic representative category does not prove actual authority or a particular relationship. S001 §.101, Consumer; S003 §5481(4).
R091-P1-C016 Subject to the express §5515(a)/§5516(a) exclusions, “nonbank covered person” includes a person offering or providing a consumer financial product/service, and an affiliate of such a person if that affiliate acts as a service provider to that person. Affiliation alone does not satisfy the second route. S001 §.101, Nonbank covered person; S003 §5481(6).
R091-P1-C017 Section5515(a) describes insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets, and any affiliate thereof. Section5516(a) describes insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with $10 billion or less. Its subsection(a) does not contain the same “any affiliate” language. S005, complete respective subsection(a)s.
R091-P1-C018 The incorporated insured-depository category concerns a bank or savings association whose deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; “insured credit union” concerns a credit union whose member accounts are insured under the specified subchapter. Chartering and insurance predicates are not established by a business label. S006, §1813(a)–(c), particularly(c)(2); §1752(1),(5)–(7); S003 §5481(17).
R091-P1-C019 The statutory “affiliate” definition is a person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with another person. Part1090’s “affiliated company” supplies additional express company/control wording for its aggregation mechanism. These definitions should not be collapsed with the distinct related-party collector exception. S003 §5481(1); S001 §.101 and §.105(a), Debt collector(i).
R091-P1-C020 A Part1090 affiliated company is a company controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a person, excluding an insured depository institution or insured credit union. “Company” includes corporations, LLCs, business trusts, general/limited partnerships, proprietorships, cooperatives, associations, and similar organizations. S001 §.101, Affiliated company introductory text and(1).
R091-P1-C021 One alternative control test is direct, indirect, or through-other-person ownership, control, or voting power over 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities or similar ownership interest. The denominator is a class, not necessarily all equity. S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(i).
R091-P1-C022 A separate control alternative is control, in any manner, over election of a majority of directors, trustees, members, or general partners. The rule does not require satisfaction of the ownership-percentage route as well. S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(ii).
R091-P1-C023 A further control alternative is directly or indirectly exercising a controlling influence over management or policies. A failure to establish 25-percent ownership alone does not negate this alternative. S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(iii).
R091-P1-C024 The consumer-financial-product/service definition has two routes: a §5481(15)(A) product/service offered or provided for consumers’ primarily personal, family, or household use; or activities in clauses(i),(iii),(ix), or(x) delivered, offered, or provided in connection with such a consumer product/service. S001 §.101, Consumer financial product or service(1)–(2); S003 §5481(5),(15).
R091-P1-C025 Statutory “credit” includes rights to defer debt payment, incur debt and defer payment, or buy property/services and defer payment. Section5481(15)(A)(i) includes extending credit and servicing loans, including specified acquisition, purchase, sale, brokerage, and extension activities, with its exception for solely extending commercial credit to a consumer-credit originator. This broader product definition does not itself satisfy §.105’s collection-market test. S003 §5481(7),(15)(A)(i); S001 §.105.
R091-P1-C026 Section5481(15)(A)(x) includes collecting debt related to a consumer financial product/service. The complete paragraph(15) contains other categories, qualifications, exclusions, and limited authority to define additional products by regulation. Their existence does not make every receivable a qualifying collection-market receipt. S003 §5481(15)(A)–(C); S001 §.105(a), Consumer debt collection.
R091-P1-C027 A service provider supplies a material service to a covered person in connection with that person’s consumer-financial-product/service offering. Included examples encompass designing, operating, maintaining, or processing transactions, with the express exception for unknowingly or incidentally transmitting/processing undifferentiated financial data. S003 §5481(26)(A).
R091-P1-C028 Providing general business support or similar ministerial services, or advertising time/space, does not solely by itself establish service-provider status. This is not a blanket exemption for an actor performing additional material services. S003 §5481(26)(B).
R091-P1-C029 A service provider is deemed a covered person to the extent it offers or provides its own consumer financial product/service. The statutory rule is activity-qualified. S003 §5481(26)(C).
R091-P1-C030 The financial-product/service definition excludes the business of insurance, whose separate definition includes writing/reinsuring risks and the specified acts and authorized-role activities related to that business. It is not an investigated exemption for every activity of an insurance-associated actor. S003 §5481(3),(15)(C)(i).
R091-P1-C031 Electronic conduit services are excluded as defined, but the definition does not include a provider that, when providing the services, selects/modifies content, differentiates financial data in the stated manner, or is a payee, payor, correspondent, or similar party to a consumer payment transaction. S003 §5481(11)(A)–(B),(15)(C)(ii).

The definition chain distinguishes insured-institution exclusions, the affiliate-as-service-provider route, and the specific control tests used for receipt aggregation. None is a substitute for another. ecfr.gov+7

C. The consumer-debt-collection market and its exclusions

Claim ID Supported conditional rule Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C032 “Consumer debt collection” requires a debt collector’s collection, a debt incurred by a consumer primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and a relationship to a consumer financial product/service. All these predicates matter. S001 §.105(a), Consumer debt collection.
R091-P1-C033 A creditor offers/extends credit creating a debt or is owed the debt. The definition excludes a person to the extent it receives an assignment/transfer of a defaulted debt solely to facilitate collection for another. S001 §.105(a), Creditor.
R091-P1-C034 “Debt collector” has alternative routes: use of interstate-commerce instrumentalities or the mails in a business whose principal purpose is collecting any debts; or regularly collecting/attempting to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed, due, or asserted owed/due to another. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector opening sentence.
R091-P1-C035 Notwithstanding exclusion(iii), a creditor collecting its own debts is included if it uses a different name indicating that a third person is collecting or attempting collection. The alternate-name condition must be established; ordinary creditor status alone is insufficient. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector second sentence.
R091-P1-C036 The related-party collector exclusion requires common ownership or corporate-control affiliation, collection only for related/affiliated persons, and a principal business that is not debt collection. Relationship alone does not establish the exclusion. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(i).
R091-P1-C037 The nonprofit exclusion requires a nonprofit organization acting at consumers’ request, performing bona fide consumer credit counseling, and assisting debt liquidation by receiving consumer payments and distributing those amounts to creditors. Nonprofit status alone is insufficient. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(ii).
R091-P1-C038 The activity-qualified exclusion for collecting another’s debt applies to the extent the debt was originated by the collector, or was not in default when that person obtained it. Those are alternatives within exclusion(iii), not a universal exemption for anything called servicing. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(iii)(A)–(B); S013, selected servicing explanation.
R091-P1-C039 A person engaged solely in enforcing a security interest is excluded from this definition. The selected text does not resolve activities extending beyond that exclusive function. S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(iv).
R091-P1-C040 Ownership/purchase of a debt does not, by label alone, establish inclusion or exclusion. The principal-purpose route refers to collecting any debts; the other-owed-debt route and exclusions have different conditions. This Part’s complete definition is the operative selected definition; the full FDCPA definition and its judicial treatment were not imported. S001 §.105(a), complete Debt collector and Creditor definitions; S013, bounded market explanation.
R091-P1-C041 The selected Part does not separately supply complete definitions resolving every edge of “debt,” “default,” “principal purpose,” “regularly,” or “medical provider.” An actual disputed classification cannot be settled by assuming familiar meanings or a judicial consensus. S001, complete selected definitions; express research boundary.

These exclusions are qualifications of this market definition. They are not findings of immunity from every supervisory, enforcement, contract, or debt-collection law. [C078–C082, C095] ecfr.gov+3

D. Receipts, accounting periods, aggregation, and the threshold

Claim ID Supported rule and limits Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C042 “Completed fiscal year” includes a tax year that is a fiscal, calendar, or short tax year. The rule recites: fiscal year—12 consecutive months ending on the last day of a month other than December31; calendar year—12 consecutive months ending December31; tax year—annual accounting period or appropriate short year; short year—less than12 months. An annual accounting period itself excludes a short year. S001 §.101, Completed fiscal year(1)–(4); S019 selected accounting-period instructions.
R091-P1-C043 Receipts start with IRS-defined/reported total income, or gross income for a sole proprietorship, plus cost of goods sold. The regulation names illustrative tax forms; it does not establish the correct tax-return category or line treatment for an unidentified actor. S001 §.105(a), Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C044 Net capital gains or losses are excluded from receipts. The exclusion is not a general permission to subtract all capital-related cash flows or losses. S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C045 Taxes collected for and remitted to a taxing authority are excluded if included in gross/total income. The stated category includes customer-collected taxes but does not exclude taxes levied on the entity or its employees. S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C046 Amounts collected for another are excluded, but fees earned in connection with those collections are receipts. Gross collections, remittances, and earned fees therefore cannot be treated as interchangeable categories. S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C047 The rule expressly includes examples such as subcontractor costs, reimbursement for purchases made at a customer’s request, and employee-based costs such as payroll taxes. A generic “expense” label does not establish a receipt deduction. S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C048 The IRS accounting-period incorporation was read narrowly. Complete return-specific definitions of income, COGS, recognition, and entity classification were not authenticated. Thus the regulation’s legal formula is reported, but no fully operational accounting computation or characterization of a particular return is supplied. S001, Annual receipts(i); S019, selected bounds.
R091-P1-C049 For a person in business for three or more completed fiscal years, the ordinary measure is total receipts over its three most recently completed fiscal years divided by three, subject to the specific short-year rule. S001, Annual receipts(ii)(A), read with(ii)(C).
R091-P1-C050 For a person in business for less than three completed fiscal years, the measure is total receipts during the entire period in business, divided by the number of weeks in business, multiplied by 52. S001, Annual receipts(ii)(B).
R091-P1-C051 Where the person has at least three completed fiscal years but one year in the measurement period is a short tax year, the rule uses total receipts for the short year and two full fiscal/calendar years, divided by the total weeks in those periods, multiplied by 52. S001, Annual receipts(ii)(C).
R091-P1-C052 Annual receipts are aggregated by adding the person’s annual receipts to the annual receipts of each affiliated company, using the applicable affiliated-company definition and its insured-institution exclusions. S001, Annual receipts(iii)(A); §.101; S002 §5514(a)(3)(B).
R091-P1-C053 If an affiliated company was acquired, or the person was acquired by an affiliated company, during the applicable measurement period, their receipts are aggregated for the entire period, not only the post-affiliation portion. S001, Annual receipts(iii)(B).
R091-P1-C054 Each person’s/affiliate’s receipts are calculated separately under paragraph(ii), even if different measurement periods result. The source’s generic illustration annualizes a younger affiliate separately; no invented affiliate or financial example is needed here. The example’s internal-reference discrepancy is preserved in C010. S001, Annual receipts(iii)(C); S014.
R091-P1-C055 A former affiliate is excluded if affiliation ceased before the applicable measurement period. If affiliation ceased during that period, aggregation covers the entire period. Current nonaffiliation is not enough to choose between those rules. S001, Annual receipts(iii)(D); S015, instruction5.
R091-P1-C056 Receipts resulting from collecting debt originally owed to a medical provider are excluded. This is a receipts exclusion, not a general determination about medical-debt validity, collection legality, or all supervisory authority. S001, Annual receipts(iii)(E).
R091-P1-C057 The threshold concerns receipts resulting from consumer debt collection, not indiscriminately all business revenue. The adoption preamble explains apportionment for both a person and its affiliates and does not impose a separate periodic apportionment form through this rule. That explanation does not eliminate §.103’s information-request or challenge consequences. S001 §.105(b); S013, P65790/I15, apportionment discussion and footnotes111–112; S001 §.103.
R091-P1-C058 The adopted test is more than $10 million in the defined annual receipts. Equality alone does not meet this threshold. However, equality or a lower current measure does not itself negate continuing status under §.102 or another statutory supervisory route. No automatic inflation-index formula appears in the selected rule. S001 §.105(b), §§.101–.102; S002 §5514(a)(1).
R091-P1-C059 The selected debt-collection rule does not prescribe a universal December31 snapshot date, rounding rule, partial-week convention, or a complete solution for every multiple-short-year/intercompany-accounting issue. It uses completed fiscal periods and specified aggregation events. Those unestablished conventions prevent an actual or purportedly complete computational model here. S001, Annual receipts(i)–(iii), §.102; S019 limited read.

Consequential distinction: the numerator is not automatically a debt portfolio’s face amount, assets, gross recoveries, or net profit. It is the rule’s defined receipt base, limited to the selected market, adjusted by its express exclusions, period rules, and affiliate treatment. [C043–C059] ecfr.gov+3

E. Continuing status and the complete selected challenge procedure

Claim ID Supported rule and limits Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C060 A larger participant is a nonbank covered person that met a SubpartB test within §.102’s period. A qualifying person shall not cease to be a larger participant until two years from the first day of the tax year in which it last met the applicable test. S001 §.101, Larger participant; complete §.102.
R091-P1-C061 The anchor is not the date of a supervisory letter, acquisition, last receipt, or the end of the tax year. A decline in present receipts does not by itself establish immediate loss of status; the historical measurement and continuation provisions both matter. S001 §§.102,.105(a); textual comparison.
R091-P1-C062 Supervision includes the Bureau’s exercise or intended exercise of §5514 authority, including initiating/undertaking an examination or requiring a report. “Supervision Director” includes designated Bureau employees, and the Bureau Director may perform those functions. S001 §.101, Supervision and Supervision Director.
R091-P1-C063 If a person receives a written communication initiating §5514 supervisory activity, it may assert that it does not meet the larger-participant definition within45 days of the date of the communication. Receipt triggers availability of this route, but the expressed period is measured from the communication’s date. S001 §.103(a).
R091-P1-C064 That response must be electronically transmitted to the Supervision Director at the address in the communication and must include an affidavit explaining the basis for the asserted absence of larger-participant status and resulting assertion of no §5514 supervision under this route. S001 §.103(a).
R091-P1-C065 Supporting records/documents/information may accompany the response. Nevertheless, subsection(b) deems the person to have waived reliance, when disputing larger-participant status, on an argument or material not submitted under(a). The optional-attachment wording must be read with that consequence. S001 §.103(a)–(b).
R091-P1-C066 Failure to respond within the stated45-day period results in a deemed acknowledgment of larger-participant status, subject to the timeframe-modification authority in(e). It is not a statutory admission that a debt is valid or that misconduct occurred. S001 §.103(b),(e); scope of §.100.
R091-P1-C067 The Supervision Director shall review the affidavit, attached material, and any other information deemed relevant, then send an electronic statement explaining whether the person meets the larger-participant definition. S001 §.103(c).
R091-P1-C068 At any time, including before the initiating communication, the Supervision Director may require records, documents, and information considered appropriate to assess status. The recipient must provide the requested material within the period specified in the request. S001 §.103(d).
R091-P1-C069 The Supervision Director may, in discretion, modify any timeframe prescribed by §.103, on the official’s own initiative or for good cause shown. An extension is not automatic. S001 §.103(e).
R091-P1-C070 Section.103 itself does not specify calendar-versus-business-day counting, a deemed-receipt rule, a fixed decision deadline, a formal hearing, a stated evidentiary burden such as preponderance, a separate administrative appeal, or an automatic stay. No such procedure or consequence is inferred here. S001, complete §.103(a)–(e).
R091-P1-C071 The 2012 preamble’s footnote45 describes the waiver as relating to the particular year at issue and contemplates a later dispute when receipts decline and a later supervisory initiation occurs outside the two-year continuation period. This is attributed agency explanation, not additional codified language or a judicial holding. S012, P42882/I8, footnote45 and surrounding §.103 analysis; S001 §§.102–.103.

The procedure is an assessment of larger-participant status, not a consumer debt-dispute process, a licensing application, a public certification service, or a determination that a particular collection practice is lawful. [C013, C063–C071, C092–C095] ecfr.gov+1

F. Supervision authority, confidentiality, and limits of legal effect

Claim ID Supported rule and limits Exact authority and source
R091-P1-C072 Section5514(b)(1) directs periodic reports/examinations to assess compliance with Federal consumer financial law, obtain activity/compliance-system information, and detect/assess consumer and market risks. It does not pronounce an actual compliance result. S002 §5514(b)(1)(A)–(C).
R091-P1-C073 Supervision is risk based, considering applicable asset size, transaction volume, consumer risks, State oversight, and other relevant factors. “Periodic” does not establish a universal examination frequency for every larger participant. S002 §5514(b)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C074 The Bureau must coordinate with specified regulators and State agencies, use existing agency/public reports to the fullest extent possible, and retains authority to require information owned or controlled by the covered person even if another person stores/processes it. S002 §5514(b)(3)–(5).
R091-P1-C075 The statute requires transmission to the IRS Commissioner of examination material identifying possible tax-law noncompliance. This is not a tax assessment or a finding that any person owes tax. S002 §5514(b)(6).
R091-P1-C076 The Bureau must prescribe rules facilitating supervision and may require records or prescribe obligation-related requirements, potentially including background checks or bonding. This authorization is not proof that a named actor was checked, bonded, approved, or found legitimate. S002 §5514(b)(7)(A)–(D).
R091-P1-C077 Separate statutory authority permits registration rules, excluding the stated insured-depository, insured-credit-union, and related-person categories, and permits public registration disclosures subject to such rules. Part1090 status itself is not a registration entry. The full registration regime and nested related-person application are held. S004 §5512(c)(7)(A)–(C); S003 §5481(25); S001 selected body.
R091-P1-C078 Section5514 has other supervisory routes besides larger-participant rules: specified real-estate-loan activities; a risk-based order after notice and reasonable opportunity to respond; specified private-education-loan activity subject to its cross-references; and payday loans. Failure of this one market test is not universal immunity. No other route is classified here. S002 §5514(a)(1)(A)–(E),(a)(3).
R091-P1-C079 The enforcement and rulemaking/examination exclusivity clauses are conditional, including express §5581 exceptions. The FTC coordination clause includes notice where feasible, a pending-action restriction, intervention rights, and permission for agreement terms to modify/supersede that restriction. The complete transferred-authority and enforcement regimes were not traced; no universal exclusivity claim follows. S002 §5514(c)(1)–(3),(d); S008 §5517(p).
R091-P1-C080 Section5514(e) applies a bank-service relationship analogy to service providers and requires coordination with the appropriate prudential regulator where applicable. Incorporated §1867(c) concerns authorized bank services performed by contract or otherwise for the specified examined institutions/affiliates, permits examination as if performed on bank premises, and contains a depository-institution notice clause. Its 30-day notice is not imported here as a general Part1090 challenge period or a proven nonbank filing duty. S002 §5514(e); S007 complete §1867(c)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C081 Section5514(f) preserves Farm Credit Administration authority. It does not itself classify an actor or complete that separate statutory regime. S002 §5514(f).
R091-P1-C082 The practice-of-law limit applies to the specified State-licensed legal activity, but §5517(e)(2) preserves authority over qualifying consumer-financial-product/service offerings outside the stated exclusive attorney-client practice context, or to consumers not receiving connected legal advice/services. Paragraph(e)(3) preserves enumerated/transferred-law authority; (n) preserves specified service-provider/information possibilities. A lawyer label is not universal immunity. S008 §5517(e)(1)–(3),(n); S003 §5481(5).
R091-P1-C083 Confidential supervisory information includes specified examination/report material and derivatives, supervisory records, related supervisory communications, specified information furnished for risk or jurisdiction assessment, and information within the stated FOIA-exemption reference. “Confidential information” excludes Bureau-authorized public disclosure and otherwise remains confidential when held by a third party. The questionable citation in(i)(4) is preserved in C090. S020 §1070.2(f),(i)(1)–(5),(l),(q).
R091-P1-C084 Section1070.41(a) restricts disclosure by current/former Bureau personnel, contractors/consultants, and other holders, except as required by law or provided in Part1070; internal access is also limited by relevance to assigned duties. This is not an absolute nondisclosure promise. S020 §1070.41(a)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C085 Bureau contractors/consultants must comply with the stated confidentiality/security requirements and additional Bureau conditions; receipt of confidential information requires the specified written certification. This is a confidentiality condition, not a professional license or provider endorsement. S020 §1070.41(b).
R091-P1-C086 The Bureau may disclose derived materials in its discretion to the extent they do not directly or indirectly identify a person to whom the confidential information pertains. S020 §1070.41(c).
R091-P1-C087 Where practicable, the Bureau may, in discretion and consistent with applicable law, disclose identifying confidential information upon obtaining the specified persons’ prior consent. No actual consent or disclosure decision is supplied. S020 §1070.41(d).
R091-P1-C088 Section1070.41 does not require or authorize disclosure of another agency’s confidential information, received directly or through a holder, to the extent disclosure would contravene applicable law or the governing interagency agreement. S020 §1070.41(e).
R091-P1-C089 SubpartD does not govern requests for official information made under SubpartsB, C, orE. Full public-access, disclosure-exception, privilege, and request procedures remain outside this pass. S020 complete §1070.40; §1070.41(a)’s exceptions.
R091-P1-C090 Both the current §1070.2(i)(4) and the examined 2020 adopted text print “12 U.S.C. 5414(b)(1)(C)”. Section5514(b)(1)(C) separately contains the relevant risk-assessment language. The apparent numerical mismatch is recorded, not judicially or editorially repaired here. S020 §1070.2(i)(4); S021 P75217/I23; S002 §5514(b)(1)(C).
R091-P1-C091 Section5512(c)(6) mandates confidentiality rules and provides conditional interagency access to examination reports, including reasonable confidentiality assurances and jurisdiction predicates. It does not grant the public unconditional access to supervisory records. S004 §5512(c)(6)(A)–(C), read with(c)(8)–(9); S020.
R091-P1-C092 Meeting the regulatory definition, receiving an agency status determination, and actually undergoing a current examination are distinct matters. A public legal criterion proves none of the missing organization-specific events. S001 §§.100–.103; S002 §5514(b)(1)–(2); bounded inference.
R091-P1-C093 Larger-participant status does not itself establish licensing, current registration, verified identity, ownership, lawful practices, quality, solvency, or government endorsement. Separate statutory powers to impose requirements do not prove their exercise or satisfaction. S001; S002 §5514(b)(7); S004 §5512(c)(7); bounded inference.
R091-P1-C094 The selected provisions supply no basis here to declare a private cause of action, penalty amount, damages, refund, cancellation, discharge, invalid contract, collection defense, or actual recovery. Those propositions require separate complete authority and predicates. S001 selected body; S002 §5514(c); explicit limits of this investigation.
R091-P1-C095 Federal market classification does not complete State, tribal, territorial, foreign, licensing, debt-validity, FDCPA, litigation, or provider-profile analysis. An exclusion from this test is not a conclusion about all other laws. S002 §5514(a),(c)–(f); S008; S001’s bounded purpose.
R091-P1-C096 Currentness is qualified by the eCFR/statutory cutoffs, unsuccessful original-correction access, the two stated cross-reference discrepancies, incomplete tax-return incorporations, and absence of a judicial/later-law certification. No failure is treated as repeal, legal absence, or proof that no later development exists. S001–S021 and the read/failure log below.

The limited confidentiality inquiry answers why the selected procedure cannot be treated as a public provider directory. It does not establish a right to obtain or disclose any actual supervisory material. uscode.house.gov+6

3. Provision-specific comparisons

Comparison Supported distinction and consequential limit Claims and exact sources
Debt-collection market / every creditor Creditor status and debt-collector status have distinct definitions. The market also requires consumer-purpose debt and a consumer-financial-product/service relationship. C032–C035; S001 §.105(a).
Debt purchase / source-defined collection Purchase or ownership is not a substitute for the collection predicates. The principal-purpose branch and other-owed-debt branch must be kept separate. C025, C034, C040; S003 §5481(15)(A)(i); S001 §.105(a).
Servicing / covered collection The exclusion turns on origination or nondefault status when obtained, to the stated extent. A servicing label does not resolve that condition. C038; S001 Debt collector(iii); S013 P65782/I7.
Statutory affiliate / aggregated affiliated company / related collector The statutory affiliate definition, Part1090 company/control definition, and related-party collector exclusion perform different functions and have different predicates. C019–C023, C036, C052; S001 §§.101,.105; S003 §5481(1).
Individual entity / affiliate aggregation Separate receipts computations are combined; current legal separation does not override whole-period acquisition or former-affiliate rules. C052–C055; S001 Annual receipts(iii)(A)–(D).
Receipts / assets The selected market threshold uses receipts. The separate insured-institution exclusions use an asset boundary. The bases cannot be substituted. C017, C043–C058; S005; S001.
Receipts / portfolio balance / profit The receipt base is the prescribed income-plus-COGS measure with exclusions, market attribution, and aggregation. Neither nominal debt balance nor net profit is designated as the §.105 threshold base. C043–C059; S001 Annual receipts and(b).
Collections for another / earned fees Pass-through amounts collected for another are excluded, while earned collection fees remain included. C046; S001 Annual receipts(i).
Historical measurement / current business activity The rule uses completed fiscal periods or whole-period annualization. It does not prescribe a universal current-calendar-year snapshot for this market. C042, C049–C055, C059; S001.
Threshold boundary / continuing status “More than” is strict. A current result at or below the boundary does not alone extinguish status retained under §.102. C058–C061; S001 §§.102,.105(b).
Medical-receipts exclusion / all-law exemption The express exclusion concerns receipts from debt originally owed to a medical provider. It does not adjudicate debt validity or every supervisory/enforcement route. C056, C078, C095; S001; S002 §5514(a).
Status procedure / present examination Section.103 supplies a status-assessment process following the specified communication and permits pre-initiation information requests. No actual communication, determination, or examination is established. C062–C070, C092; S001 §.103.
Supervision / registration or license Statutory supervision and separate registration-rule authority are not a single status. No registration, professional license, or certification follows from the definition. C013, C072–C077, C093; S001; S002; S004.
Agency determination / compliance Determining that a person falls within the category concerns supervisory coverage; supervision’s purposes include assessing compliance. The classification itself is not the compliance result. C067, C072, C092–C093; S001 §.103(c); S002 §5514(b)(1).
Approval or listing / endorsement The selected rule creates no provider-endorsement mechanism. Statutory authority to prescribe legitimacy-related requirements is not proof of approval or satisfaction. C076–C077, C093; S002 §5514(b)(7); S004 §5512(c)(7).
Preamble / adopted regulation Preambles explain apportionment and procedure, but current adopted wording controls the reported rule. Proposals and agenda milestones do not amend it. C009–C010, C057, C071; S012–S018; S001.
Federal criterion / other-law jurisdiction This criterion does not complete other federal exemptions, State licensing, tribal or territorial law, foreign law, or debt merits. C079–C082, C095; S002, S008.
Public-source authentication / provider profile Authentication establishes the legal source and its limits. It does not verify any actor’s identity, finances, ownership, status, practices, or suitability. C092–C096; S001–S021.

R091-P1-M001 More than $10 million; nonbank covered person’s defined annual receipts from consumer debt collection; strict >, not ≥. Requires the complete market, receipt, period, and affiliate predicates. Equality does not satisfy this test, but §.102/other authority remains separate. Dollars are the rule’s dollar-denominated measure; no inflation update or rounding rule supplied. C032–C058; S001 §.105(a)–(b).
R091-P1-M002 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities/similar ownership interest; inclusive boundary. Direct, indirect, or through one or more persons; only one alternative control route. No actual class, voting power, or ownership established. C021; S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(i).
R091-P1-M003 Majority of directors, trustees, members, or general partners elected under the person’s control. Alternative to percentage ownership and controlling influence. The rule’s word “majority” is retained; no invented board or seat count. C022–C023; S001 §.101(2)(ii)–(iii).
R091-P1-M004 Fiscal year: 12 consecutive months, ending on a month’s last day except December31. IRS-attributed definition recited in the rule. Actual tax/accounting period absent. C042; S001 §.101, Completed fiscal year(1); S019.
R091-P1-M005 Calendar year: 12 consecutive months ending December31. Distinct from an automatic debt-collection measurement date. C042, C059; S001 §.101(2).
R091-P1-M006 Short tax year: less than12 months. It is a completed fiscal year for this rule, but is not an annual accounting period under the recited definition. C042; S001 §.101(3)–(4).
R091-P1-M007 Three or more completed fiscal years in business; receipts over the three most recently completed fiscal years ÷3. Inclusive category boundary at three completed years. Subject to the short-year branch. Not automatically three calendar years. C049; S001 Annual receipts(ii)(A),(C).
R091-P1-M008 Less than three completed fiscal years; entire-business-period receipts ÷weeks in business ×52. Strict category boundary. Dollar receipts divided by weeks and multiplied by the source’s annualization factor. Partial-week/zero-denominator/rounding conventions not established. C050, C059; S001 Annual receipts(ii)(B).
R091-P1-M009 At least three completed years, with one short year plus two full fiscal/calendar years; total receipts ÷total weeks ×52. Specific short-year condition. Multiple-short-year edge cases and detailed week counting remain unresolved. C051, C059; S001 Annual receipts(ii)(C).
R091-P1-M010 Add the person’s measure and each affiliated company’s separately calculated annual receipts. No uniform group fiscal period is required by the text; insured-institution exclusions and market attribution apply. No intercompany-accounting elimination convention independently established. C020, C052, C054, C057; S001 Annual receipts(iii)(A),(C).
R091-P1-M011 Acquisition affiliation during a measurement period: entire-period aggregation. Not prorated to time after acquisition. Exact event and measurement periods absent. C053; S001 Annual receipts(iii)(B).
R091-P1-M012 Former affiliation ending before the period: exclusion; ending during it: entire-period aggregation. The distinction is event-relative, not merely “currently affiliated/not affiliated.” C055; S001 Annual receipts(iii)(D).
R091-P1-M013 Status continues until two years from the first day of the tax year in which the person last met the applicable test. Anchor is the first day of that tax year; no actual tax year or last qualifying event supplied. Not two years from a letter or acquisition. C060–C061; S001 §.102.
R091-P1-M014 Within45 days of the date of the communication for the §.103(a) response; nonresponse consequence in(b). Requires receipt of the specified written initiating communication. Electronic response and affidavit conditions apply. Section(e) permits discretionary modification. Calendar/business-day and receipt conventions not specified here. C063–C066, C069–C070; S001 §.103(a),(b),(e).
R091-P1-M015 Information-request response: within the period specified in the request. Request may precede initiation; no universal numeric period. Discretionary modification under(e) remains relevant. C068–C069; S001 §.103(d)–(e).
R091-P1-M016 Review occurs and statement follows “thereafter”; no numeric decision deadline in §.103(c). No invented turnaround period, automatic stay, or deemed favorable outcome. C067, C070; S001 §.103(c).
R091-P1-M017 More than $10 billion in assets under §5515(a); $10 billion or less under §5516(a). Different institutional exclusion bases; §5515(a) expressly includes affiliates. Not the §.105 receipts threshold. C017; S005.
R091-P1-M018 Examinations/reports on a periodic basis. Risk-based factors apply; no nationally fixed examination interval is stated. C072–C073; S002 §5514(b)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-M019 Incorporated bank-service notice: 30 days after the earlier of contract formation or performance. §1867(c)(2) addresses the specified depository institution’s notice concerning authorized services under that chapter. This is not asserted as a general nonbank Part1090 notice duty. C080; S007 §1867(c).
R091-P1-M020 IRS publication discusses a 52–53-week tax year as an accounting-period category. Instructional context only; no assumption that a particular actor uses it or that unresolved Part1090 week-count conventions are thereby settled. C042, C048–C059; S019 selected heading.

Branch Supported conditional rule and exact links Missing authority or predicate Adverse inference to avoid Next permissible generic public-law inquiry
B001 — Current version unknown (P) Use the accessed §.105 body with its recorded cutoff; an agenda entry does not replace it. C001–C003,C009,C096; S001,S017–S018. Post-cutoff adopted-law/status chain. “A current-looking page certifies all later law.” Check later official Federal Register adopted instruments specifically amending §§.100–.103 or .105.
B002 — Official original unavailable (P) Failed correction-PDF access leaves original authentication incomplete despite earlier readable government rendition. C006,C010,C096; S014. Original correction publication body in readable official PDF/issue format. Failure means repeal or absence. Reopen the original publication through an ordinary accessible official publication route.
B003 — Nonbank covered-person category unknown (A/H) Offering/providing a consumer financial product/service, or qualifying affiliate service provision, is required subject to exclusions. C016–C018; S001 §.101; S003,S005. Product/service and institutional category. Every collector label establishes nonbank coverage. Re-read the complete applicable §5481 definition and §§5515(a)/5516(a) boundary.
B004 — Person category (A/H) The definition extends beyond corporations to the listed legal forms. C014; S001 §.101; S003(19). Legal category only; no actor supplied. Only incorporated firms can fall within the rule. Examine whether a disputed generic legal form fits the published Person definition.
B005 — Consumer relationship (A/H) The consumer category includes an individual’s agent/trustee/representative. C015; S001; S003(4). Consumer and representative-role predicates. A representative label proves authority or makes every obligation consumer debt. Read the definition’s relationship to §.105’s debt-purpose condition.
B006 — Financial-product/service connection (A/P) The two statutory/regulatory routes and material exclusions must be satisfied. C024–C031; S001 §.101; S003(5),(15). Applicable product category; unresolved nested sector rules. Every bill or receivable is a consumer financial product/service. Read only the complete generic public incorporation for the identified legal category.
B007 — Consumer purpose unknown (A/H) Debt must have been incurred primarily for personal, family, or household purposes and relate to a qualifying product/service. C032; S001 §.105(a). Purpose and product relationship. An individual obligor automatically means consumer-purpose debt. Examine official generic interpretation of the precise purpose phrase, without records.
B008 — Creditor classification (A/H) The defaulted-transfer-for-another exception qualifies the creditor definition. C033; S001 Creditor. Origination/ownership/assignment purpose and default category. Being owed an obligation always settles the creditor/collector distinction. Read the complete definition beside the collector alternatives.
B009 — Principal-purpose route (A/P) Interstate-commerce/mail use in a principal-purpose collection business is one route. C034,C041; S001 Debt collector. Principal-purpose meaning/application. Ownership of debt automatically defeats this route. Seek a narrowly scoped official generic interpretation of that phrase; hold judicial merits.
B010 — Regular collection for another (A/P) The alternative includes attempts and asserted debts, direct or indirect, subject to exclusions. C034,C038; S001. Regularity, activity, other-person relationship. A collection attempt proves a valid debt or actual liability. Read the full generic definition and its activity-qualified exceptions.
B011 — Alternate-name creditor (A/H) Different-name own-debt collection indicating a third collector invokes the express inclusion. C035; S001. All representation and activity predicates. Every creditor is included, or every creditor is excluded. Examine the complete statutory-category wording without testing communications.
B012 — Related collector exception (A/H) Relationship, exclusive collection for related persons, and noncollection principal business are cumulative. C036; S001 Debt collector(i). Each cumulative predicate. Common ownership alone establishes the exclusion. Compare this exception with §.101’s aggregation definition.
B013 — Nonprofit exception (A/H) Nonprofit status, consumer request, bona fide counseling, and receipt/distribution assistance are required. C037; S001 Debt collector(ii). Activity and consumer-request categories. Nonprofit status alone exempts all activity. Read the complete exception and the separate product/service definition.
B014 — Originated debt (A/H) The exception applies to the specified collection activity concerning debt originated by that person. C038; S001 Debt collector(iii)(A). Origination and activity categories. Any later ownership is equivalent to origination. Examine the exact scope of “originated” in available generic official interpretation.
B015 — Nondefault when obtained (A/P) Default status when obtained, not merely a present label, controls this exclusion. C038,C041; S001(iii)(B); S013. Meaning of default; acquisition-time condition. All servicing is excluded or all later-default collection included. Read the complete official generic servicing explanation and preserve unresolved default questions.
B016 — Security-interest-only activity (A/P) Exclusion requires activity solely enforcing a security interest. C039; S001(iv). Whether additional collection activity exists; legal boundaries held. Any secured obligation creates a blanket exclusion. Seek only generic public clarification of the word “solely”; no instrument review.
B017 — Debt buyer/owner category (A/P) Apply the actual definition and exclusions; ownership alone is not dispositive. C025,C034,C040; S001,S003. Defined activity and acquisition/default predicates. Buyer label proves either coverage or immunity. Compare complete principal-purpose and other-owed-debt clauses without case research.
B018 — Affiliated company (A/H) Use the company/control definition and insured-institution exclusions. C019–C023; S001 §.101. Legal form and control category. Statutory affiliate, “related person,” and aggregated company are interchangeable. Read each distinct definition and its assigned function.
B019 — Ownership below percentage route (A/H) Failure of the25-percent route does not settle election-control or influence routes. C021–C023; S001. Alternative control predicates. Less than25 percent proves no affiliation. Examine the complete three-alternative control definition.
B020 — Institutional exclusion (A/P) §§5515(a)/5516(a) differ in asset boundary and affiliate wording. C017–C018; S005–S006. Insured category and exact statutory relationship. All bank-related affiliates are automatically treated alike. Trace only the indispensable institutional-definition clause; hold full banking law.
B021 — Receipt base unknown (P) Use prescribed income/gross-income plus COGS, not a chosen business metric. C043,C048; S001,S019. Complete applicable IRS classification/instructions. Revenue, cash recovery, profit, and assets are interchangeable. Read the complete necessary public IRS income/COGS instructions for the legal return category.
B022 — Pass-through and fee distinction (A/P) Collected-for-another amounts are excluded; earned collection fees remain included. C046; S001(i). Classification of receipt categories. Exclude all collected cash, or count all gross collections uniformly. Examine generic official treatment of the two receipt categories, not actual books.
B023 — Tax/capital/cost exclusions (A/P) Apply each express exclusion and inclusion separately. C044–C047; S001(i). Tax incidence, remittance, income inclusion, and cost categories. All expenses or taxes can be subtracted. Read the precise rule and necessary IRS definitions for the unresolved category.
B024 — Medical-origin receipts (A/P) Exclude receipts from debt originally owed to a medical provider. C056,C041; S001(iii)(E). Original-obligee legal category and term meaning. All medical-associated activity is outside every law. Seek generic official interpretation of the receipts exclusion only.
B025 — Market apportionment (A/P) Count receipts attributable to defined consumer debt collection for person and affiliates. C057; S001(b); S013 P65790. Attribution category and accounting authority. All business revenue necessarily belongs in this market. Read the complete apportionment explanation and any later adopted clarification.
B026 — Three-year branch (A/H) At least three completed years ordinarily invokes the three-most-recent-years average, subject to short-year treatment. C042,C049,C051; S001. Completed-year category. Three completed tax years always means three calendar years. Compare §.101’s definitions with all paragraph(ii) branches.
B027 — Younger business branch (A/P) Less than three completed years invokes whole-business-period receipts divided by weeks, times52. C050,C059; S001(ii)(B). Weeks, receipt classifications, counting conventions. Use a selected recent interval or an invented rounding rule. Read generic official guidance on any unresolved week-count convention.
B028 — Short tax year (A/P) The specific short-year/two-full-year rule controls when its predicates hold. C051,C059; S001(ii)(C). Short-year structure; multiple-short-year ambiguity. Divide any three periods by three without examining the exception. Seek a complete official interpretation of the unresolved short-year configuration.
B029 — Separate affiliate periods (A/P) Calculate separately even if periods differ, then aggregate. C052,C054; S001(iii)(A),(C). Each legal period and citation discrepancy. Force a consolidated uniform fiscal period without authority. Authenticate the correction chain and paragraph(ii) cross-reference.
B030 — Acquisition during period (A/H) Aggregate for the whole period if the specified acquisition affiliation arose during it. C053; S001(iii)(B). Event/period relationship. Count only post-acquisition receipts. Re-read the complete event-relative aggregation clause.
B031 — Former affiliate (A/H) Before-period cessation excludes; during-period cessation retains whole-period aggregation. C055; S001(iii)(D); S015. Cessation’s relation to the legal period. Current separation removes all historical receipts. Compare the adopted2015 clause with current text.
B032 — Exact threshold equality (A/H) Equality does not meet “more than”; continuing status and other authority remain separate. C058,C060,C078; S001,S002. Defined annual receipts and prior qualifying period. Equality establishes universal absence of supervision. Examine §.102 and §5514’s separate coverage routes.
B033 — Continuing status (A/H) The statutory-rule anchor is the first day of the tax year in which the applicable test was last met. C060–C061; S001 §.102. Tax-year/last-qualifying relationship. Two years always runs from a supervisory notice. Read the complete duration clause and selected adoption explanation.
B034 — Written initiation absent (A/H) The specified received written communication opens §.103(a)’s response route. C063–C064; S001. No communication or date supplied. Public category research proves an examination was initiated. Read only generic §.103 procedure and its trigger.
B035 — Affidavit/supporting material (A/H) Affidavit is required for the response; attachments may be included, but omitted arguments/material face the stated waiver consequence. C064–C065; S001(a)–(b). Submission predicates absent. Optional attachments mean omission can never matter. Compare the complete adjacent(a),(b), and(e) clauses.
B036 — Nonresponse (A/H) The rule states deemed acknowledgment after failure to respond within the prescribed period, subject to modification authority. C066,C069; S001. Actual notice/response/modification facts absent. It admits misconduct, debt validity, or all jurisdictional questions. Read the exact scope of the acknowledgment provision.
B037 — Director review (A/P) Required review includes relevant additional information and an explanatory electronic statement. C067,C070; S001(c). No formal burden, decision deadline, or review outcome supplied. Assume a trial, automatic reversal, or fixed turnaround. Identify any later generic adopted procedural clarification; hold judicial remedies.
B038 — Pre-initiation information request (A/H) The Director may request assessment information before formal initiation; the request specifies the response period. C068–C069; S001(d)–(e). Request and prescribed period absent. Only an already-proven larger participant may ever receive a status-information request. Read the complete assessment authority and applicable statutory limitations.
B039 — Extension/counting issue (A/P) Time modification is discretionary; no calendar/business-day or receipt convention is supplied by §.103 itself. C069–C070; S001(e). Complete applicable counting authority. Import another Part’s business-day definition or compute a date. Seek a generic rule expressly governing this procedure’s time computation.
B040 — Later-year dispute (P) Preamble footnote45 describes later challenge possibilities after declining receipts and outside the continuation period. C071; S012 P42882. Any controlling later adopted or judicial treatment. Treat preamble explanation as a universal judicial remedy. Examine only later public rulemaking clarification within scope; hold cases.
B041 — Confidentiality/publication (A/P) Supervisory information may be confidential under specified definitions and exceptions; no public-directory entitlement follows. C083–C091; S020–S021,S004. Full applicable disclosure exception or access regime. Everything is public, or nothing can ever be disclosed. Read the narrow complete Part1070 exception if a generic disclosure question is separately scoped.
B042 — Cross-reference inconsistency (P) The .105 example and1070.2(i)(4) discrepancies remain visible. C010,C090; S001,S014,S020–S021. Authentic corrective or intervening adopted instrument. Silently substitute a preferred citation. Search only official correction/amendment bodies for the precise clause.
B043 — Service provider (A/P) Material service, statutory exceptions, own-product rule, and §5514(e) analogy are distinct. C027–C029,C080; S003,S002,S007. Nested bank-service/application authority. Every vendor is a service provider or inherits a bank’s notice duty identically. Complete only the indispensable public incorporation before stating an operational duty.
B044 — Professional category (A/P) The practice-of-law limit has activity, relationship, and preserved-authority qualifications. C082; S008(e),(n). State-law practice boundary and enumerated-law application. A license is blanket immunity or proof of supervision. Read generic statutory exceptions; hold professional records and judicial classifications.
B045 — Other supervision/enforcement (A/P) Failing this market test does not resolve the other §5514 routes or all enforcement authority. C078–C081; S002. Separate route’s complete predicates/incorporations. Below-threshold status means every federal authority disappears. Examine the particular generic statutory route only if separately scoped.
B046 — Registration/license/legitimacy (A/H) Definition, supervision, registration, licensing, and legitimacy requirements are distinct. C076–C077,C092–C093; S001–S004. No registration, license, verification, or compliance evidence. A category or listing is endorsement. Read public implementing authority without consulting any roster or entity record.
B047 — Penalty/private remedy (H) No amount, private claim, cancellation, or recovery follows from the selected criterion alone. C094; S001,S002(c). Complete substantive enforcement/remedy law. Supervision guarantees compensation or invalidates a debt. Identify the exact separately scoped public remedy provision before any claim.
B048 — Broader A091 profile (H) Public legal categories do not establish actual ownership, service, contact, hardship practice, complaints, negotiation policy, or litigation position. C092–C096. All profile facts and other legal regimes are outside this pass. This report authenticates or recommends a provider. Define a separate generic methodology component; no identifying inquiry is authorized here.

Completed and bounded reads

Read group What was actually read Limit retained
S001 Complete current §§1090.100–.103 and .105, including authority and source notes; corresponding selected2025 annual-CFR bodies. Final current body reread after the banner refreshed to10/26. Other markets not investigated; annual edition is historical; eCFR is not the official legal edition.

S012–S013 Complete relevant adopted general/debt provisions and date clauses; bounded complete explanatory sections. Underlying empirical sources, named comments, and cited opinions were not investigated.
S014 Earlier successful complete correction rendition, including all four instructions. Official original PDF authentication failed; later rendition access reached a security gate.

Later-status searches Returned the ANPRM, agenda, current/annual text, and off-scope or nonofficial results. Search snippets and mirrors did not supply legal propositions. No “no later law exists” conclusion drawn.

9. Explicit unresolved matters and scope holds

Gap Consequence for this report Exact next public-law authority or question
Currency after the displayed cutoffs The report authenticates the accessed bodies and selected later instruments, not a complete October28 legislative/regulatory/judicial chain. Later official Federal Register amendments/corrections/status instruments for §§1090.100–.103/.105; later enacted amendments to the identified statutory clauses.
2012 correction original and current example reference The correction’s government rendition was read, but original PDF access failed; “(ii)(B)” versus current “(ii)” remains unexplained. Original77FR72913 and any adopted intervening correction addressing annual-receipts(iii)(C).
Confidentiality citation The printed “5414(b)(1)(C)” is preserved; no silent substitution or legal reconciliation. Official correction or later amendment to §1070.2(i)(4).
Tax-return definitions and accounting conventions No actual or fully operational receipts calculation is possible from this record. Complete public IRS instructions governing the necessary legal income/COGS category; official Part1090 clarification of any partial-week, multiple-short-year, or related accounting issue.
Undefined collection terms “Default,” “principal purpose,” “regularly,” and other disputed edges are not resolved by labels. Narrow official generic interpretation, if available; judicial merits remain outside this pass.
Full statutory limitations and other routes No universal conclusion about all Bureau supervision or enforcement follows. Exact applicable portions of §§5517,5519,5581 or other identified statutory routes, read completely before reliance.
Full confidentiality/access/review regime No absolute secrecy promise, public-access entitlement, formal appeal, stay, or judicial-review result established. The specific complete Part1070 exception or separate generic procedural authority; no actual record request or case search.
Actual actor, activity, receipts, group, notice, or determination facts Every organization-specific classification remains unresolved. No identifying inquiry is authorized in this pass.
Remaining A091 and other-law dimensions Ownership, authentication, official contacts, hardship practices, complaints, negotiation, litigation, licensing, debt validity, remedies, and provider comparison remain open. A separately scoped generic public-law or methodology component; no implied permission to build a named profile.

R091-P1-C002The final eCFR display was through 10/26/2026, with a Title12-wide last-amended label of 10/23/2026. Neither label says §1090.105 itself was amended on that date. The annual official CFR examined is the 1/1/2025 edition.S001, currency banner, legal-status notice, annual-edition header.
R091-P1-C003The accessible statutory bodies display laws in effect through PL119-124, 10/15/2026. They do not, by themselves, establish the complete statutory chain through the access date.S002–S008, displayed currency; failure log.
R091-P1-C004The original general Part1090 provisions examined were published 7/20/2012, effective 9/30/2012. Their historical officer designation must not replace the present §.101/.103 wording.S012, DATES; adopted §§.100–.103; S016.
R091-P1-C005The debt-collection final rule was published 10/31/2012, effective 1/2/2013. Section IV expressly adopts that effective date; it is not inferred solely from a source credit.S013, DATES; IV.B; adopted §.105.
R091-P1-C006The readable correction rendition states publication 12/7/2012, effectiveness 1/2/2013, and four corrections: three internal references and insertion of the paragraph (b) designation. Original-PDF access remains a gap.S014, complete correcting instructions1–4 and DATES.
R091-P1-C007The 2015 amendment revises the nonbank-covered-person definition and expressly provides that a former affiliate that ceased affiliation during the measurement period remains aggregated for the entire period.S015, instructions3 and5, effective 8/31/2015; S001 §.105(a), annual receipts(iii)(D).
R091-P1-C008The 2024 amendment substitutes Supervision Director and its delegation definition. Electronic submission and electronic delivery of the determination already appeared in the original 2012 procedure; they were not newly created in 2024.S016, instructions13–15; S012 §.103(a),(c); S001 §.101.
R091-P1-C009The 2025 document is an advance notice, seeking information about whether to propose changes. The later agenda entry is planning information. Neither examined body adopts a replacement receipts threshold.S017, ACTION, SUMMARY, sectionIII; S018, stage and timetable.
R091-P1-C010A narrow discrepancy remains: correction instruction2 replaces the second example reference in annual-receipts(iii)(C) with “(ii)(B)”; current eCFR and the examined annual CFR print “(ii)” there. The main annualization rule in (ii)(B) is present, but the intervening reason for this citation difference was not authenticated.S014, instruction2; S001, §.105(a), annual receipts(iii)(C).
R091-P1-C011Original statutory §§1022 and1024 became effective on 7/21/2010 under §1029A’s express exception. The generally designated transfer date was 7/21/2011. These dates differ from Part1090’s later regulatory effective dates.S009, §§4,1029A,1062; S011, operative designation.
R091-P1-C012The enacted 2014 amendment adds State agencies that license, supervise, or examine consumer-financial-product/service offerings to §5514(b)(3), and preserves claimed privilege/confidentiality against outsiders when information is shared among the specified regulators.S010 §2; S002 §5514(b)(3).

R091-P1-C013Part1090 defines larger participants for supervision under §5514(a)(1)(B) and (a)(2), and facilitates supervision under (b)(7). The debt-collection criterion is a market-specific supervisory category.S001 §.100 and authority citation; S002 §5514(a)(1)(B),(a)(2),(b)(7)(A); S004 §5512(b)(1).
R091-P1-C014“Person” includes an individual, partnership, company, corporation, incorporated or unincorporated association, trust, estate, cooperative organization, or other entity. It is not confined to corporations.S001 §.101, Person; S003 §5481(19).
R091-P1-C015“Consumer” means an individual or an agent, trustee, or representative acting on an individual’s behalf. A generic representative category does not prove actual authority or a particular relationship.S001 §.101, Consumer; S003 §5481(4).
R091-P1-C016Subject to the express §5515(a)/§5516(a) exclusions, “nonbank covered person” includes a person offering or providing a consumer financial product/service, and an affiliate of such a person if that affiliate acts as a service provider to that person. Affiliation alone does not satisfy the second route.S001 §.101, Nonbank covered person; S003 §5481(6).
R091-P1-C017Section5515(a) describes insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets, and any affiliate thereof. Section5516(a) describes insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with $10 billion or less. Its subsection(a) does not contain the same “any affiliate” language.S005, complete respective subsection(a)s.
R091-P1-C018The incorporated insured-depository category concerns a bank or savings association whose deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; “insured credit union” concerns a credit union whose member accounts are insured under the specified subchapter. Chartering and insurance predicates are not established by a business label.S006, §1813(a)–(c), particularly(c)(2); §1752(1),(5)–(7); S003 §5481(17).
R091-P1-C019The statutory “affiliate” definition is a person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with another person. Part1090’s “affiliated company” supplies additional express company/control wording for its aggregation mechanism. These definitions should not be collapsed with the distinct related-party collector exception.S003 §5481(1); S001 §.101 and §.105(a), Debt collector(i).
R091-P1-C020A Part1090 affiliated company is a company controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a person, excluding an insured depository institution or insured credit union. “Company” includes corporations, LLCs, business trusts, general/limited partnerships, proprietorships, cooperatives, associations, and similar organizations.S001 §.101, Affiliated company introductory text and(1).
R091-P1-C021One alternative control test is direct, indirect, or through-other-person ownership, control, or voting power over 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities or similar ownership interest. The denominator is a class, not necessarily all equity.S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(i).
R091-P1-C022A separate control alternative is control, in any manner, over election of a majority of directors, trustees, members, or general partners. The rule does not require satisfaction of the ownership-percentage route as well.S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(ii).
R091-P1-C023A further control alternative is directly or indirectly exercising a controlling influence over management or policies. A failure to establish 25-percent ownership alone does not negate this alternative.S001 §.101, Affiliated company(2)(iii).
R091-P1-C024The consumer-financial-product/service definition has two routes: a §5481(15)(A) product/service offered or provided for consumers’ primarily personal, family, or household use; or activities in clauses(i),(iii),(ix), or(x) delivered, offered, or provided in connection with such a consumer product/service.S001 §.101, Consumer financial product or service(1)–(2); S003 §5481(5),(15).
R091-P1-C025Statutory “credit” includes rights to defer debt payment, incur debt and defer payment, or buy property/services and defer payment. Section5481(15)(A)(i) includes extending credit and servicing loans, including specified acquisition, purchase, sale, brokerage, and extension activities, with its exception for solely extending commercial credit to a consumer-credit originator. This broader product definition does not itself satisfy §.105’s collection-market test.S003 §5481(7),(15)(A)(i); S001 §.105.
R091-P1-C026Section5481(15)(A)(x) includes collecting debt related to a consumer financial product/service. The complete paragraph(15) contains other categories, qualifications, exclusions, and limited authority to define additional products by regulation. Their existence does not make every receivable a qualifying collection-market receipt.S003 §5481(15)(A)–(C); S001 §.105(a), Consumer debt collection.
R091-P1-C027A service provider supplies a material service to a covered person in connection with that person’s consumer-financial-product/service offering. Included examples encompass designing, operating, maintaining, or processing transactions, with the express exception for unknowingly or incidentally transmitting/processing undifferentiated financial data.S003 §5481(26)(A).
R091-P1-C028Providing general business support or similar ministerial services, or advertising time/space, does not solely by itself establish service-provider status. This is not a blanket exemption for an actor performing additional material services.S003 §5481(26)(B).
R091-P1-C029A service provider is deemed a covered person to the extent it offers or provides its own consumer financial product/service. The statutory rule is activity-qualified.S003 §5481(26)(C).
R091-P1-C030The financial-product/service definition excludes the business of insurance, whose separate definition includes writing/reinsuring risks and the specified acts and authorized-role activities related to that business. It is not an investigated exemption for every activity of an insurance-associated actor.S003 §5481(3),(15)(C)(i).
R091-P1-C031Electronic conduit services are excluded as defined, but the definition does not include a provider that, when providing the services, selects/modifies content, differentiates financial data in the stated manner, or is a payee, payor, correspondent, or similar party to a consumer payment transaction.S003 §5481(11)(A)–(B),(15)(C)(ii).

R091-P1-C032“Consumer debt collection” requires a debt collector’s collection, a debt incurred by a consumer primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and a relationship to a consumer financial product/service. All these predicates matter.S001 §.105(a), Consumer debt collection.
R091-P1-C033A creditor offers/extends credit creating a debt or is owed the debt. The definition excludes a person to the extent it receives an assignment/transfer of a defaulted debt solely to facilitate collection for another.S001 §.105(a), Creditor.
R091-P1-C034“Debt collector” has alternative routes: use of interstate-commerce instrumentalities or the mails in a business whose principal purpose is collecting any debts; or regularly collecting/attempting to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed, due, or asserted owed/due to another.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector opening sentence.
R091-P1-C035Notwithstanding exclusion(iii), a creditor collecting its own debts is included if it uses a different name indicating that a third person is collecting or attempting collection. The alternate-name condition must be established; ordinary creditor status alone is insufficient.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector second sentence.
R091-P1-C036The related-party collector exclusion requires common ownership or corporate-control affiliation, collection only for related/affiliated persons, and a principal business that is not debt collection. Relationship alone does not establish the exclusion.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(i).
R091-P1-C037The nonprofit exclusion requires a nonprofit organization acting at consumers’ request, performing bona fide consumer credit counseling, and assisting debt liquidation by receiving consumer payments and distributing those amounts to creditors. Nonprofit status alone is insufficient.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(ii).
R091-P1-C038The activity-qualified exclusion for collecting another’s debt applies to the extent the debt was originated by the collector, or was not in default when that person obtained it. Those are alternatives within exclusion(iii), not a universal exemption for anything called servicing.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(iii)(A)–(B); S013, selected servicing explanation.
R091-P1-C039A person engaged solely in enforcing a security interest is excluded from this definition. The selected text does not resolve activities extending beyond that exclusive function.S001 §.105(a), Debt collector(iv).
R091-P1-C040Ownership/purchase of a debt does not, by label alone, establish inclusion or exclusion. The principal-purpose route refers to collecting any debts; the other-owed-debt route and exclusions have different conditions. This Part’s complete definition is the operative selected definition; the full FDCPA definition and its judicial treatment were not imported.S001 §.105(a), complete Debt collector and Creditor definitions; S013, bounded market explanation.
R091-P1-C041The selected Part does not separately supply complete definitions resolving every edge of “debt,” “default,” “principal purpose,” “regularly,” or “medical provider.” An actual disputed classification cannot be settled by assuming familiar meanings or a judicial consensus.S001, complete selected definitions; express research boundary.

R091-P1-C042“Completed fiscal year” includes a tax year that is a fiscal, calendar, or short tax year. The rule recites: fiscal year—12 consecutive months ending on the last day of a month other than December31; calendar year—12 consecutive months ending December31; tax year—annual accounting period or appropriate short year; short year—less than12 months. An annual accounting period itself excludes a short year.S001 §.101, Completed fiscal year(1)–(4); S019 selected accounting-period instructions.
R091-P1-C043Receipts start with IRS-defined/reported total income, or gross income for a sole proprietorship, plus cost of goods sold. The regulation names illustrative tax forms; it does not establish the correct tax-return category or line treatment for an unidentified actor.S001 §.105(a), Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C044Net capital gains or losses are excluded from receipts. The exclusion is not a general permission to subtract all capital-related cash flows or losses.S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C045Taxes collected for and remitted to a taxing authority are excluded if included in gross/total income. The stated category includes customer-collected taxes but does not exclude taxes levied on the entity or its employees.S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C046Amounts collected for another are excluded, but fees earned in connection with those collections are receipts. Gross collections, remittances, and earned fees therefore cannot be treated as interchangeable categories.S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C047The rule expressly includes examples such as subcontractor costs, reimbursement for purchases made at a customer’s request, and employee-based costs such as payroll taxes. A generic “expense” label does not establish a receipt deduction.S001, Annual receipts(i).
R091-P1-C048The IRS accounting-period incorporation was read narrowly. Complete return-specific definitions of income, COGS, recognition, and entity classification were not authenticated. Thus the regulation’s legal formula is reported, but no fully operational accounting computation or characterization of a particular return is supplied.S001, Annual receipts(i); S019, selected bounds.
R091-P1-C049For a person in business for three or more completed fiscal years, the ordinary measure is total receipts over its three most recently completed fiscal years divided by three, subject to the specific short-year rule.S001, Annual receipts(ii)(A), read with(ii)(C).
R091-P1-C050For a person in business for less than three completed fiscal years, the measure is total receipts during the entire period in business, divided by the number of weeks in business, multiplied by 52.S001, Annual receipts(ii)(B).
R091-P1-C051Where the person has at least three completed fiscal years but one year in the measurement period is a short tax year, the rule uses total receipts for the short year and two full fiscal/calendar years, divided by the total weeks in those periods, multiplied by 52.S001, Annual receipts(ii)(C).
R091-P1-C052Annual receipts are aggregated by adding the person’s annual receipts to the annual receipts of each affiliated company, using the applicable affiliated-company definition and its insured-institution exclusions.S001, Annual receipts(iii)(A); §.101; S002 §5514(a)(3)(B).
R091-P1-C053If an affiliated company was acquired, or the person was acquired by an affiliated company, during the applicable measurement period, their receipts are aggregated for the entire period, not only the post-affiliation portion.S001, Annual receipts(iii)(B).
R091-P1-C054Each person’s/affiliate’s receipts are calculated separately under paragraph(ii), even if different measurement periods result. The source’s generic illustration annualizes a younger affiliate separately; no invented affiliate or financial example is needed here. The example’s internal-reference discrepancy is preserved in C010.S001, Annual receipts(iii)(C); S014.
R091-P1-C055A former affiliate is excluded if affiliation ceased before the applicable measurement period. If affiliation ceased during that period, aggregation covers the entire period. Current nonaffiliation is not enough to choose between those rules.S001, Annual receipts(iii)(D); S015, instruction5.
R091-P1-C056Receipts resulting from collecting debt originally owed to a medical provider are excluded. This is a receipts exclusion, not a general determination about medical-debt validity, collection legality, or all supervisory authority.S001, Annual receipts(iii)(E).
R091-P1-C057The threshold concerns receipts resulting from consumer debt collection, not indiscriminately all business revenue. The adoption preamble explains apportionment for both a person and its affiliates and does not impose a separate periodic apportionment form through this rule. That explanation does not eliminate §.103’s information-request or challenge consequences.S001 §.105(b); S013, P65790/I15, apportionment discussion and footnotes111–112; S001 §.103.
R091-P1-C058The adopted test is more than $10 million in the defined annual receipts. Equality alone does not meet this threshold. However, equality or a lower current measure does not itself negate continuing status under §.102 or another statutory supervisory route. No automatic inflation-index formula appears in the selected rule.S001 §.105(b), §§.101–.102; S002 §5514(a)(1).
R091-P1-C059The selected debt-collection rule does not prescribe a universal December31 snapshot date, rounding rule, partial-week convention, or a complete solution for every multiple-short-year/intercompany-accounting issue. It uses completed fiscal periods and specified aggregation events. Those unestablished conventions prevent an actual or purportedly complete computational model here.S001, Annual receipts(i)–(iii), §.102; S019 limited read.

R091-P1-C060A larger participant is a nonbank covered person that met a SubpartB test within §.102’s period. A qualifying person shall not cease to be a larger participant until two years from the first day of the tax year in which it last met the applicable test.S001 §.101, Larger participant; complete §.102.
R091-P1-C061The anchor is not the date of a supervisory letter, acquisition, last receipt, or the end of the tax year. A decline in present receipts does not by itself establish immediate loss of status; the historical measurement and continuation provisions both matter.S001 §§.102,.105(a); textual comparison.
R091-P1-C062Supervision includes the Bureau’s exercise or intended exercise of §5514 authority, including initiating/undertaking an examination or requiring a report. “Supervision Director” includes designated Bureau employees, and the Bureau Director may perform those functions.S001 §.101, Supervision and Supervision Director.
R091-P1-C063If a person receives a written communication initiating §5514 supervisory activity, it may assert that it does not meet the larger-participant definition within45 days of the date of the communication. Receipt triggers availability of this route, but the expressed period is measured from the communication’s date.S001 §.103(a).
R091-P1-C064That response must be electronically transmitted to the Supervision Director at the address in the communication and must include an affidavit explaining the basis for the asserted absence of larger-participant status and resulting assertion of no §5514 supervision under this route.S001 §.103(a).
R091-P1-C065Supporting records/documents/information may accompany the response. Nevertheless, subsection(b) deems the person to have waived reliance, when disputing larger-participant status, on an argument or material not submitted under(a). The optional-attachment wording must be read with that consequence.S001 §.103(a)–(b).
R091-P1-C066Failure to respond within the stated45-day period results in a deemed acknowledgment of larger-participant status, subject to the timeframe-modification authority in(e). It is not a statutory admission that a debt is valid or that misconduct occurred.S001 §.103(b),(e); scope of §.100.
R091-P1-C067The Supervision Director shall review the affidavit, attached material, and any other information deemed relevant, then send an electronic statement explaining whether the person meets the larger-participant definition.S001 §.103(c).
R091-P1-C068At any time, including before the initiating communication, the Supervision Director may require records, documents, and information considered appropriate to assess status. The recipient must provide the requested material within the period specified in the request.S001 §.103(d).
R091-P1-C069The Supervision Director may, in discretion, modify any timeframe prescribed by §.103, on the official’s own initiative or for good cause shown. An extension is not automatic.S001 §.103(e).
R091-P1-C070Section.103 itself does not specify calendar-versus-business-day counting, a deemed-receipt rule, a fixed decision deadline, a formal hearing, a stated evidentiary burden such as preponderance, a separate administrative appeal, or an automatic stay. No such procedure or consequence is inferred here.S001, complete §.103(a)–(e).
R091-P1-C071The 2012 preamble’s footnote45 describes the waiver as relating to the particular year at issue and contemplates a later dispute when receipts decline and a later supervisory initiation occurs outside the two-year continuation period. This is attributed agency explanation, not additional codified language or a judicial holding.S012, P42882/I8, footnote45 and surrounding §.103 analysis; S001 §§.102–.103.

R091-P1-C072Section5514(b)(1) directs periodic reports/examinations to assess compliance with Federal consumer financial law, obtain activity/compliance-system information, and detect/assess consumer and market risks. It does not pronounce an actual compliance result.S002 §5514(b)(1)(A)–(C).
R091-P1-C073Supervision is risk based, considering applicable asset size, transaction volume, consumer risks, State oversight, and other relevant factors. “Periodic” does not establish a universal examination frequency for every larger participant.S002 §5514(b)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C074The Bureau must coordinate with specified regulators and State agencies, use existing agency/public reports to the fullest extent possible, and retains authority to require information owned or controlled by the covered person even if another person stores/processes it.S002 §5514(b)(3)–(5).
R091-P1-C075The statute requires transmission to the IRS Commissioner of examination material identifying possible tax-law noncompliance. This is not a tax assessment or a finding that any person owes tax.S002 §5514(b)(6).
R091-P1-C076The Bureau must prescribe rules facilitating supervision and may require records or prescribe obligation-related requirements, potentially including background checks or bonding. This authorization is not proof that a named actor was checked, bonded, approved, or found legitimate.S002 §5514(b)(7)(A)–(D).
R091-P1-C077Separate statutory authority permits registration rules, excluding the stated insured-depository, insured-credit-union, and related-person categories, and permits public registration disclosures subject to such rules. Part1090 status itself is not a registration entry. The full registration regime and nested related-person application are held.S004 §5512(c)(7)(A)–(C); S003 §5481(25); S001 selected body.
R091-P1-C078Section5514 has other supervisory routes besides larger-participant rules: specified real-estate-loan activities; a risk-based order after notice and reasonable opportunity to respond; specified private-education-loan activity subject to its cross-references; and payday loans. Failure of this one market test is not universal immunity. No other route is classified here.S002 §5514(a)(1)(A)–(E),(a)(3).
R091-P1-C079The enforcement and rulemaking/examination exclusivity clauses are conditional, including express §5581 exceptions. The FTC coordination clause includes notice where feasible, a pending-action restriction, intervention rights, and permission for agreement terms to modify/supersede that restriction. The complete transferred-authority and enforcement regimes were not traced; no universal exclusivity claim follows.S002 §5514(c)(1)–(3),(d); S008 §5517(p).
R091-P1-C080Section5514(e) applies a bank-service relationship analogy to service providers and requires coordination with the appropriate prudential regulator where applicable. Incorporated §1867(c) concerns authorized bank services performed by contract or otherwise for the specified examined institutions/affiliates, permits examination as if performed on bank premises, and contains a depository-institution notice clause. Its 30-day notice is not imported here as a general Part1090 challenge period or a proven nonbank filing duty.S002 §5514(e); S007 complete §1867(c)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C081Section5514(f) preserves Farm Credit Administration authority. It does not itself classify an actor or complete that separate statutory regime.S002 §5514(f).
R091-P1-C082The practice-of-law limit applies to the specified State-licensed legal activity, but §5517(e)(2) preserves authority over qualifying consumer-financial-product/service offerings outside the stated exclusive attorney-client practice context, or to consumers not receiving connected legal advice/services. Paragraph(e)(3) preserves enumerated/transferred-law authority; (n) preserves specified service-provider/information possibilities. A lawyer label is not universal immunity.S008 §5517(e)(1)–(3),(n); S003 §5481(5).
R091-P1-C083Confidential supervisory information includes specified examination/report material and derivatives, supervisory records, related supervisory communications, specified information furnished for risk or jurisdiction assessment, and information within the stated FOIA-exemption reference. “Confidential information” excludes Bureau-authorized public disclosure and otherwise remains confidential when held by a third party. The questionable citation in(i)(4) is preserved in C090.S020 §1070.2(f),(i)(1)–(5),(l),(q).
R091-P1-C084Section1070.41(a) restricts disclosure by current/former Bureau personnel, contractors/consultants, and other holders, except as required by law or provided in Part1070; internal access is also limited by relevance to assigned duties. This is not an absolute nondisclosure promise.S020 §1070.41(a)(1)–(2).
R091-P1-C085Bureau contractors/consultants must comply with the stated confidentiality/security requirements and additional Bureau conditions; receipt of confidential information requires the specified written certification. This is a confidentiality condition, not a professional license or provider endorsement.S020 §1070.41(b).
R091-P1-C086The Bureau may disclose derived materials in its discretion to the extent they do not directly or indirectly identify a person to whom the confidential information pertains.S020 §1070.41(c).
R091-P1-C087Where practicable, the Bureau may, in discretion and consistent with applicable law, disclose identifying confidential information upon obtaining the specified persons’ prior consent. No actual consent or disclosure decision is supplied.S020 §1070.41(d).
R091-P1-C088Section1070.41 does not require or authorize disclosure of another agency’s confidential information, received directly or through a holder, to the extent disclosure would contravene applicable law or the governing interagency agreement.S020 §1070.41(e).
R091-P1-C089SubpartD does not govern requests for official information made under SubpartsB, C, orE. Full public-access, disclosure-exception, privilege, and request procedures remain outside this pass.S020 complete §1070.40; §1070.41(a)’s exceptions.
R091-P1-C090Both the current §1070.2(i)(4) and the examined 2020 adopted text print “12 U.S.C. 5414(b)(1)(C)”. Section5514(b)(1)(C) separately contains the relevant risk-assessment language. The apparent numerical mismatch is recorded, not judicially or editorially repaired here.S020 §1070.2(i)(4); S021 P75217/I23; S002 §5514(b)(1)(C).
R091-P1-C091Section5512(c)(6) mandates confidentiality rules and provides conditional interagency access to examination reports, including reasonable confidentiality assurances and jurisdiction predicates. It does not grant the public unconditional access to supervisory records.S004 §5512(c)(6)(A)–(C), read with(c)(8)–(9); S020.
R091-P1-C092Meeting the regulatory definition, receiving an agency status determination, and actually undergoing a current examination are distinct matters. A public legal criterion proves none of the missing organization-specific events.S001 §§.100–.103; S002 §5514(b)(1)–(2); bounded inference.
R091-P1-C093Larger-participant status does not itself establish licensing, current registration, verified identity, ownership, lawful practices, quality, solvency, or government endorsement. Separate statutory powers to impose requirements do not prove their exercise or satisfaction.S001; S002 §5514(b)(7); S004 §5512(c)(7); bounded inference.
R091-P1-C094The selected provisions supply no basis here to declare a private cause of action, penalty amount, damages, refund, cancellation, discharge, invalid contract, collection defense, or actual recovery. Those propositions require separate complete authority and predicates.S001 selected body; S002 §5514(c); explicit limits of this investigation.
R091-P1-C095Federal market classification does not complete State, tribal, territorial, foreign, licensing, debt-validity, FDCPA, litigation, or provider-profile analysis. An exclusion from this test is not a conclusion about all other laws.S002 §5514(a),(c)–(f); S008; S001’s bounded purpose.
R091-P1-C096Currentness is qualified by the eCFR/statutory cutoffs, unsuccessful original-correction access, the two stated cross-reference discrepancies, incomplete tax-return incorporations, and absence of a judicial/later-law certification. No failure is treated as repeal, legal absence, or proof that no later development exists.S001–S021 and the read/failure log below.

ComparisonSupported distinction and consequential limitClaims and exact sources
Debt-collection market / every creditorCreditor status and debt-collector status have distinct definitions. The market also requires consumer-purpose debt and a consumer-financial-product/service relationship.C032–C035; S001 §.105(a).
Debt purchase / source-defined collectionPurchase or ownership is not a substitute for the collection predicates. The principal-purpose branch and other-owed-debt branch must be kept separate.C025, C034, C040; S003 §5481(15)(A)(i); S001 §.105(a).
Servicing / covered collectionThe exclusion turns on origination or nondefault status when obtained, to the stated extent. A servicing label does not resolve that condition.C038; S001 Debt collector(iii); S013 P65782/I7.
Statutory affiliate / aggregated affiliated company / related collectorThe statutory affiliate definition, Part1090 company/control definition, and related-party collector exclusion perform different functions and have different predicates.C019–C023, C036, C052; S001 §§.101,.105; S003 §5481(1).
Individual entity / affiliate aggregationSeparate receipts computations are combined; current legal separation does not override whole-period acquisition or former-affiliate rules.C052–C055; S001 Annual receipts(iii)(A)–(D).
Receipts / assetsThe selected market threshold uses receipts. The separate insured-institution exclusions use an asset boundary. The bases cannot be substituted.C017, C043–C058; S005; S001.
Receipts / portfolio balance / profitThe receipt base is the prescribed income-plus-COGS measure with exclusions, market attribution, and aggregation. Neither nominal debt balance nor net profit is designated as the §.105 threshold base.C043–C059; S001 Annual receipts and(b).
Collections for another / earned feesPass-through amounts collected for another are excluded, while earned collection fees remain included.C046; S001 Annual receipts(i).
Historical measurement / current business activityThe rule uses completed fiscal periods or whole-period annualization. It does not prescribe a universal current-calendar-year snapshot for this market.C042, C049–C055, C059; S001.
Threshold boundary / continuing status“More than” is strict. A current result at or below the boundary does not alone extinguish status retained under §.102.C058–C061; S001 §§.102,.105(b).
Medical-receipts exclusion / all-law exemptionThe express exclusion concerns receipts from debt originally owed to a medical provider. It does not adjudicate debt validity or every supervisory/enforcement route.C056, C078, C095; S001; S002 §5514(a).
Status procedure / present examinationSection.103 supplies a status-assessment process following the specified communication and permits pre-initiation information requests. No actual communication, determination, or examination is established.C062–C070, C092; S001 §.103.
Supervision / registration or licenseStatutory supervision and separate registration-rule authority are not a single status. No registration, professional license, or certification follows from the definition.C013, C072–C077, C093; S001; S002; S004.
Agency determination / complianceDetermining that a person falls within the category concerns supervisory coverage; supervision’s purposes include assessing compliance. The classification itself is not the compliance result.C067, C072, C092–C093; S001 §.103(c); S002 §5514(b)(1).
Approval or listing / endorsementThe selected rule creates no provider-endorsement mechanism. Statutory authority to prescribe legitimacy-related requirements is not proof of approval or satisfaction.C076–C077, C093; S002 §5514(b)(7); S004 §5512(c)(7).
Preamble / adopted regulationPreambles explain apportionment and procedure, but current adopted wording controls the reported rule. Proposals and agenda milestones do not amend it.C009–C010, C057, C071; S012–S018; S001.
Federal criterion / other-law jurisdictionThis criterion does not complete other federal exemptions, State licensing, tribal or territorial law, foreign law, or debt merits.C079–C082, C095; S002, S008.
Public-source authentication / provider profileAuthentication establishes the legal source and its limits. It does not verify any actor’s identity, finances, ownership, status, practices, or suitability.C092–C096; S001–S021.

B001 — Current version unknown (P)Use the accessed §.105 body with its recorded cutoff; an agenda entry does not replace it. C001–C003,C009,C096; S001,S017–S018.Post-cutoff adopted-law/status chain.“A current-looking page certifies all later law.”Check later official Federal Register adopted instruments specifically amending §§.100–.103 or .105.
B002 — Official original unavailable (P)Failed correction-PDF access leaves original authentication incomplete despite earlier readable government rendition. C006,C010,C096; S014.Original correction publication body in readable official PDF/issue format.Failure means repeal or absence.Reopen the original publication through an ordinary accessible official publication route.
B003 — Nonbank covered-person category unknown (A/H)Offering/providing a consumer financial product/service, or qualifying affiliate service provision, is required subject to exclusions. C016–C018; S001 §.101; S003,S005.Product/service and institutional category.Every collector label establishes nonbank coverage.Re-read the complete applicable §5481 definition and §§5515(a)/5516(a) boundary.
B004 — Person category (A/H)The definition extends beyond corporations to the listed legal forms. C014; S001 §.101; S003(19).Legal category only; no actor supplied.Only incorporated firms can fall within the rule.Examine whether a disputed generic legal form fits the published Person definition.
B005 — Consumer relationship (A/H)The consumer category includes an individual’s agent/trustee/representative. C015; S001; S003(4).Consumer and representative-role predicates.A representative label proves authority or makes every obligation consumer debt.Read the definition’s relationship to §.105’s debt-purpose condition.
B006 — Financial-product/service connection (A/P)The two statutory/regulatory routes and material exclusions must be satisfied. C024–C031; S001 §.101; S003(5),(15).Applicable product category; unresolved nested sector rules.Every bill or receivable is a consumer financial product/service.Read only the complete generic public incorporation for the identified legal category.
B007 — Consumer purpose unknown (A/H)Debt must have been incurred primarily for personal, family, or household purposes and relate to a qualifying product/service. C032; S001 §.105(a).Purpose and product relationship.An individual obligor automatically means consumer-purpose debt.Examine official generic interpretation of the precise purpose phrase, without records.
B008 — Creditor classification (A/H)The defaulted-transfer-for-another exception qualifies the creditor definition. C033; S001 Creditor.Origination/ownership/assignment purpose and default category.Being owed an obligation always settles the creditor/collector distinction.Read the complete definition beside the collector alternatives.
B009 — Principal-purpose route (A/P)Interstate-commerce/mail use in a principal-purpose collection business is one route. C034,C041; S001 Debt collector.Principal-purpose meaning/application.Ownership of debt automatically defeats this route.Seek a narrowly scoped official generic interpretation of that phrase; hold judicial merits.
B010 — Regular collection for another (A/P)The alternative includes attempts and asserted debts, direct or indirect, subject to exclusions. C034,C038; S001.Regularity, activity, other-person relationship.A collection attempt proves a valid debt or actual liability.Read the full generic definition and its activity-qualified exceptions.
B011 — Alternate-name creditor (A/H)Different-name own-debt collection indicating a third collector invokes the express inclusion. C035; S001.All representation and activity predicates.Every creditor is included, or every creditor is excluded.Examine the complete statutory-category wording without testing communications.
B012 — Related collector exception (A/H)Relationship, exclusive collection for related persons, and noncollection principal business are cumulative. C036; S001 Debt collector(i).Each cumulative predicate.Common ownership alone establishes the exclusion.Compare this exception with §.101’s aggregation definition.
B013 — Nonprofit exception (A/H)Nonprofit status, consumer request, bona fide counseling, and receipt/distribution assistance are required. C037; S001 Debt collector(ii).Activity and consumer-request categories.Nonprofit status alone exempts all activity.Read the complete exception and the separate product/service definition.
B014 — Originated debt (A/H)The exception applies to the specified collection activity concerning debt originated by that person. C038; S001 Debt collector(iii)(A).Origination and activity categories.Any later ownership is equivalent to origination.Examine the exact scope of “originated” in available generic official interpretation.
B015 — Nondefault when obtained (A/P)Default status when obtained, not merely a present label, controls this exclusion. C038,C041; S001(iii)(B); S013.Meaning of default; acquisition-time condition.All servicing is excluded or all later-default collection included.Read the complete official generic servicing explanation and preserve unresolved default questions.
B016 — Security-interest-only activity (A/P)Exclusion requires activity solely enforcing a security interest. C039; S001(iv).Whether additional collection activity exists; legal boundaries held.Any secured obligation creates a blanket exclusion.Seek only generic public clarification of the word “solely”; no instrument review.
B017 — Debt buyer/owner category (A/P)Apply the actual definition and exclusions; ownership alone is not dispositive. C025,C034,C040; S001,S003.Defined activity and acquisition/default predicates.Buyer label proves either coverage or immunity.Compare complete principal-purpose and other-owed-debt clauses without case research.
B018 — Affiliated company (A/H)Use the company/control definition and insured-institution exclusions. C019–C023; S001 §.101.Legal form and control category.Statutory affiliate, “related person,” and aggregated company are interchangeable.Read each distinct definition and its assigned function.
B019 — Ownership below percentage route (A/H)Failure of the25-percent route does not settle election-control or influence routes. C021–C023; S001.Alternative control predicates.Less than25 percent proves no affiliation.Examine the complete three-alternative control definition.
B020 — Institutional exclusion (A/P)§§5515(a)/5516(a) differ in asset boundary and affiliate wording. C017–C018; S005–S006.Insured category and exact statutory relationship.All bank-related affiliates are automatically treated alike.Trace only the indispensable institutional-definition clause; hold full banking law.
B021 — Receipt base unknown (P)Use prescribed income/gross-income plus COGS, not a chosen business metric. C043,C048; S001,S019.Complete applicable IRS classification/instructions.Revenue, cash recovery, profit, and assets are interchangeable.Read the complete necessary public IRS income/COGS instructions for the legal return category.
B022 — Pass-through and fee distinction (A/P)Collected-for-another amounts are excluded; earned collection fees remain included. C046; S001(i).Classification of receipt categories.Exclude all collected cash, or count all gross collections uniformly.Examine generic official treatment of the two receipt categories, not actual books.
B023 — Tax/capital/cost exclusions (A/P)Apply each express exclusion and inclusion separately. C044–C047; S001(i).Tax incidence, remittance, income inclusion, and cost categories.All expenses or taxes can be subtracted.Read the precise rule and necessary IRS definitions for the unresolved category.
B024 — Medical-origin receipts (A/P)Exclude receipts from debt originally owed to a medical provider. C056,C041; S001(iii)(E).Original-obligee legal category and term meaning.All medical-associated activity is outside every law.Seek generic official interpretation of the receipts exclusion only.
B025 — Market apportionment (A/P)Count receipts attributable to defined consumer debt collection for person and affiliates. C057; S001(b); S013 P65790.Attribution category and accounting authority.All business revenue necessarily belongs in this market.Read the complete apportionment explanation and any later adopted clarification.
B026 — Three-year branch (A/H)At least three completed years ordinarily invokes the three-most-recent-years average, subject to short-year treatment. C042,C049,C051; S001.Completed-year category.Three completed tax years always means three calendar years.Compare §.101’s definitions with all paragraph(ii) branches.
B027 — Younger business branch (A/P)Less than three completed years invokes whole-business-period receipts divided by weeks, times52. C050,C059; S001(ii)(B).Weeks, receipt classifications, counting conventions.Use a selected recent interval or an invented rounding rule.Read generic official guidance on any unresolved week-count convention.
B028 — Short tax year (A/P)The specific short-year/two-full-year rule controls when its predicates hold. C051,C059; S001(ii)(C).Short-year structure; multiple-short-year ambiguity.Divide any three periods by three without examining the exception.Seek a complete official interpretation of the unresolved short-year configuration.
B029 — Separate affiliate periods (A/P)Calculate separately even if periods differ, then aggregate. C052,C054; S001(iii)(A),(C).Each legal period and citation discrepancy.Force a consolidated uniform fiscal period without authority.Authenticate the correction chain and paragraph(ii) cross-reference.
B030 — Acquisition during period (A/H)Aggregate for the whole period if the specified acquisition affiliation arose during it. C053; S001(iii)(B).Event/period relationship.Count only post-acquisition receipts.Re-read the complete event-relative aggregation clause.
B031 — Former affiliate (A/H)Before-period cessation excludes; during-period cessation retains whole-period aggregation. C055; S001(iii)(D); S015.Cessation’s relation to the legal period.Current separation removes all historical receipts.Compare the adopted2015 clause with current text.
B032 — Exact threshold equality (A/H)Equality does not meet “more than”; continuing status and other authority remain separate. C058,C060,C078; S001,S002.Defined annual receipts and prior qualifying period.Equality establishes universal absence of supervision.Examine §.102 and §5514’s separate coverage routes.
B033 — Continuing status (A/H)The statutory-rule anchor is the first day of the tax year in which the applicable test was last met. C060–C061; S001 §.102.Tax-year/last-qualifying relationship.Two years always runs from a supervisory notice.Read the complete duration clause and selected adoption explanation.
B034 — Written initiation absent (A/H)The specified received written communication opens §.103(a)’s response route. C063–C064; S001.No communication or date supplied.Public category research proves an examination was initiated.Read only generic §.103 procedure and its trigger.
B035 — Affidavit/supporting material (A/H)Affidavit is required for the response; attachments may be included, but omitted arguments/material face the stated waiver consequence. C064–C065; S001(a)–(b).Submission predicates absent.Optional attachments mean omission can never matter.Compare the complete adjacent(a),(b), and(e) clauses.
B036 — Nonresponse (A/H)The rule states deemed acknowledgment after failure to respond within the prescribed period, subject to modification authority. C066,C069; S001.Actual notice/response/modification facts absent.It admits misconduct, debt validity, or all jurisdictional questions.Read the exact scope of the acknowledgment provision.

These definitions should not be collapsed with the distinct related-party collector exception.
