The Bureau is reopening the comment period for certain aspects of the 2019 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking related to Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.

The Bureau is issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking relating to certain data points in the Bureau’s October 2015 final rule that were added to Regulation C or revised to require additional information, and coverage of certain business- or commercial-purpose loans.

The Bureau is proposing to amend Regulation C to increase the threshold for reporting data about closed-end mortgage loans, extend the temporary threshold for reporting data about open-end lines of credit and set a threshold upon expiration of the proposed extension, and further implement the amendments to HMDA made by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. 

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is proposing policy guidance that would describe modifications that the Bureau intends to apply to the loan-level HMDA data that financial institutions will report under the Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C) before the data is disclosed to the public.  

The proposed rule would temporarily raise the reporting threshold for open-end lines of credit to 500 loans.

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) proposes amendments to Regulation C to make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirements adopted by the Bureau’s Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C) final rule ( 2015 HMDA Final Rule or the Final Rule), which was published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2015. The Bureau also proposes a new reporting exclusion.  

The Bureau is proposing amendments to Regulation B to permit creditors additional flexibility in complying with Regulation B in order to facilitate compliance with Regulation C and the collection and retention of information about the ethnicity, sex, and race of certain mortgage applicants.

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on its proposed Policy to Encourage Trial Disclosure Programs (Policy), which is intended to carry out the Bureau's authority under Section 1032(e) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act), and also a proposed information collection associated with applications submitted by companies seeking Bureau approval to conduct trial disclosure programs under the proposed Policy as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to, in effect, delay implementation of certain new mortgage disclosure requirements in title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that would otherwise take effect on January 21, 2013. Instead, to avoid potential consumer confusion and reduce compliance burden for industry, the Bureau plans to implement these disclosures as part of the integrated mortgage disclosure forms proposed earlier this year, which combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing on a mortgage loan under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Accordingly, this rulemaking exempts persons from complying with these mortgage disclosure requirements and provides that such exemptions are intended to last only until the integrated mortgage disclosure forms take effect.
