Feds Delay Compliance Deadline for 'Red Flags' Rule
"Given the ongoing debate about whether Congress wrote this provision too broadly, delaying enforcement of the Red Flags Rule will allow industries and associations to share guidance with their members, provide low-risk entities an opportunity to use the (soon-to-be-released) template in developing their programs, and give Congress time to consider the issue further," said FTC Chairman John Leibowitz in the release.
The regulation requires financial institutions and creditors -- including physician practices -- to develop and implement written identity theft prevention programs as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (62-page PDF; About PDFs).
Earlier this year, the FTC rejected the Academy's argument that physician practices should be exempt from the rule.
