(5) An account provider may comply with its obligations under this regulation (other than under paragraph (4)(f), if paragraph (6) applies) by issuing the account holder with a passbook for the account which, on presentation at a branch of the account provider, is up-dated to include the same information as a statement, omitting references in paragraph (4) to a statement date or statement period.

(6) The information in paragraph (4)(f) may, at the option of the account provider, be provided in a notice to the account holder which is separate from the statement or passbook.
