(B) measurable outcomes relating to fraud
reduction, loss mitigation, and consumer protection;
and
(C) barriers to adoption, including cost,
interoperability constraints, regulatory uncertainty,
data access limitations, and liability concerns.
detection, prevention, loss reduction, loss mitigation,
privacy, and consumer protection;
(C) barriers to adoption and considerations of

and regulation; and
(D) how various fraud detection technologies differ
in use, effectiveness, costs, benefits, and
considerations under subparagraphs (A) through (C).
(2) Community financial institution access.--Community

institution or credit union) access to advanced fraud detection
technology, including--
(A) challenges faced by community financial
institutions in accessing or deploying advanced fraud

fraud model risk, explainability, and validation; and
(C) interactions between fraud detection models and
consumer protection laws.
(C) steps Federal banking agencies can take in
coordination with other relevant government agencies
and the private sector to ensure access by insured
depository institutions and credit unions, including
