The opinion
*356 ROGERS, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur, but my reasoning differs a little from that of the majority. In my view, the statutory language, 15 U.S.C. § 1693b(d)(3)(A) & (B)(ii), does not preclude Key Bank from charging a fee following an on-screen notice that the ATM-user is subject to a fee charge, even if the fee may in actuality not be charged to some classes of users. The relevant statutory language is identical to language regarding on-machine notice, see id. § 1693b(d)(3)(A) & (B)(i), as to which the regulations explicitly permit such qualified notice, 12 C.F.R. § 205.16 (c)(l)(ii). Because the on-screen notice in this case clearly notified Clemmer that he was subject to a charge, it is not necessary for us to determine whether the on-screen message told him that he would in fact be charged. It is also not necessary for us to determine whether the Commissioner could by regulation impose a flawless notice requirement for on-screen messages.
