One comment was received from an Albany area resident who commented generally upon bounce protection programs' impact as being pro-bank and anti-consumer. Since the proposed rule was not specifically addressed and the rule in fact is intended to inform consumers of the particulars of such programs, no change from the proposal has been made.
