Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) is publishing this agenda as

part of the Spring 2013 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The CFPB 

reasonably anticipates having the regulatory matters identified below under consideration during the 

period from May 1, 2013, to May 1, 2014. The next agenda will be published in the fall of 2013 and will 

update this agenda through the fall of 2014. Publication of this agenda is in accordance with the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 

DATES: This information is current as of May 10, 2013. 

ADDRESS: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 

20552. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A staff contact is included for each regulatory item listed 

herein. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFPB is publishing its spring 2013 agenda as part of the 

Spring 2013 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, which is coordinated by the 

Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. The CFPB’s participation in the Unified 

Agenda is voluntary. The complete Unified Agenda will be available to the public at the following website: 

http://www.reginfo.gov. 

 Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, 124 

Stat. 1376) (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB has rulemaking, supervisory, enforcement, and other authorities 

relating to consumer financial products and services. These authorities include the ability to issue 

regulations under more than a dozen Federal consumer financial laws, which transferred to the CFPB 

from seven Federal agencies on July 21, 2011. The CFPB is working on a wide range of initiatives to 

address issues in markets for consumer financial products and services that are not reflected in this 

notice because the Unified Agenda is limited to rulemaking activities. 

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
 The CFPB reasonably anticipates having the regulatory matters identified below under consideration 

during the period from May 1, 2013, to May 1, 2014.1 First, the CFPB is continuing to follow up on a 

number of mortgage-related rules that it issued in January 2013, to implement various changes made 

under title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act to strengthen consumer protections involving the origination and 

servicing of mortgages. Specifically, the CFPB issued a concurrent proposal in January to make certain 

adjustments to the rules implementing ability-to-repay requirements and qualified mortgage provisions 

under Regulation Z (Truth in Lending), which the CFPB intends to complete in spring 2013. The Bureau 

is also working with other agencies on a possible supplemental proposed rule amending the interagency 

final rule issued in January 2013 on appraisal requirements for higher-risk mortgages. The CFPB has 

also committed to issue clarifications as needed to facilitate the implementation process on the title XIV 

rules. To date it has proposed two rules providing clarifying and technical amendments to certain of the 

January final mortgage rules, as well as a proposed rule seeking comment on whether to extend the 

effective date of a regulatory provision concerning the financing of credit insurance pending the issuance 

of additional clarifications to address interpretive issues under the statute and regulation. The Bureau 

anticipates issuing additional clarification proposals and final rules as needed on a rolling basis 

throughout 2013. 

 Beyond the January final mortgage rules, the CFPB continues to work on rulemakings implementing 

other changes under the Dodd-Frank Act, including a final rule combining 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 and beginning work to implement 

amendments to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. The CFPB is also assessing timelines for the 

issuance of additional Dodd-Frank Act related rulemakings and rulemakings inherited by the CFPB from 

other agencies as part of the transfer of authorities under the Dodd-Frank Act. 

 As noted in the CFPB’s Fall 2012 Statement of Regulatory Priorities, the Bureau has been conducting 

outreach and research to assess issues in various other markets for consumer financial products and 

services through a variety of means including reports, requests for information, and an advance notice of 

 

1 The listing does not include certain routine, frequent, or administrative matters. Further, certain of the information 

fields for the listing are not applicable to independent regulatory agencies, including the CFPB, and, accordingly, the 

CFPB has indicated responses of “no” for such fields.

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
proposed rulemaking on general purpose reloadable prepaid cards. The Bureau is continuing this 

research and analysis in spring 2013, for instance by issuing white papers on payday loans and deposit 

advance products, student loan affordability, and bank overdraft programs. The CFPB is currently 

actively engaged in assessing possible policy responses to the work it has conducted to date, including 

possible additional rulemaking actions. In making this assessment, the CFPB is taking into account the 

critical need for and effectiveness of various policy tools. 

 The CFPB expects to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking on prepaid cards within the next year. It 

is also considering whether to begin rulemaking processes to follow up on issues that have been 

identified in connection with payday loans and deposit advance products and debt collection, which is the 

focus of more consumer complaints to the Federal Government than any other industry. The Bureau will 

update its regulatory agenda in the fall of 2013 to reflect the results of further prioritization and planning.

Title: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Regulation C)

Abstract: Section 1094 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amends the

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which requires certain financial institutions to collect and report information in

connection with housing-related loans and applications they receive for such loans. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank

Act expand the scope of information relating to mortgage applications and loans that must be compiled, maintained, and

reported under HMDA, including the ages of loan applicants and mortgagors, information relating to the points and fees payable

at origination, the difference between the annual percentage rate associated with the loan and benchmark rates for all loans, the

term of any prepayment penalty, the value of real property to be pledged as collateral, the term of the loan and of any

introductory interest rate for the loan, the presence of contract terms allowing nonamortizing payments, the origination channel,

and the credit scores of applicants and mortgagors. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides authority for the CFPB to require other

information, including identifiers for loans, parcels, and loan originators. The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed

regulations concerning the data to be collected and appropriate format, procedures, information safeguards, and privacy

protections for information compiled and reported under HMDA. The CFPB may consider additional revisions to its regulations to

accomplish the purposes of HMDA.

Title: Annual Privacy Notice

Abstract: Regulation P, implementing provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, requires financial institutions to provide

annual privacy notices to customers describing the institution's information sharing practices and explain how a consumer can

opt out of the sharing of their information when applicable. The CFPB, in response to a Federal Register notice on

"Streamlining Inherited Regulations" issued in December 2011 (76 FR 75825), received comment suggesting that eliminating the

requirement to provide annual notices where there has been no change in underlying policies would reduce unnecessary

regulatory burden and unwanted paperwork for consumers at least where a financial institution limits the sharing of information

with third-parties. After reviewing policy options, the CFPB expects to begin developing a proposed rule to seek comment on

potential revisions to Regulation P.

Title: Payday Loans and Deposit Advance Products

Abstract: In April 2013, the CFPB issued a white paper summarizing the Bureau's initial findings from its analysis of payday

loan and deposit advance products. The white paper, which was based on supervisory data, highlighted a number of consumer

protection concerns, including consumers' "sustained use" of these short-term, high-cost products. The CFPB is considering

whether rules governing these products are warranted under CFPB authorities, and if so what types of rules would be

appropriate. Rulemaking might include disclosures or address acts or practices in connection with these products.

Title: Debt Collection Rule

Abstract: The Federal government for many years has received more consumer complaints about debt collectors than about

any other single industry. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits debt collectors from engaging in unfair,

deceptive, abusive, and other unlawful collection practices, but no Federal agency was vested with authority to issue general

implementing regulations prior to the creation of the CFPB. The CFPB is considering whether rules governing the collection of

debts are warranted under the FDCPA or other CFPB authorities, and if so what types of rules would be appropriate.

Rulemaking might include disclosures or address acts or practices in connection with debt collection activities.

Title: Amendments to TILA and FIRREA Concerning Appraisals

Abstract: The CFPB is participating in interagency rulemaking processes with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

System (Board), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the

National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) (collectively, the Agencies) to

develop proposed regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and

Enforcement Act (FIRREA) concerning appraisals. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to TILA require creditors to

obtain an appraisal, including a physical property visit by a certified appraiser, before extending higher-risk mortgage credit. The

TILA amendments also contain new provisions concerning appraisal independence, the portability of appraisal reports, and

charging of customary and reasonable fees. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to FIRREA require new minimum

requirements to be applied by states in the registration, reporting, and supervision of appraisal management companies. The

FIRREA amendments further require implementing regulations for new quality control standards for automated valuation models

to ensure a high level of confidence in the estimates produced by the valuation models, protect against the manipulation of

data, seek to avoid conflicts of interest, require random sample testing and reviews, and address any other factor that the

agencies determine to be appropriate. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board published an interim final rule

implementing the mandatory requirements relating to appraisal independence on October 28, 2010. Further action with respect

to this rulemaking is being addressed through the interagency rulemaking process. Through the interagency process, the

Agencies on January 18, 2013, issued a final rule (published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2013) relating to appraisal

requirements for higher-risk mortgages. The Agencies amended Regulation Z, which implements TILA, to provide that, for

mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage, unless an

exemption applies (such as for qualified mortgages and certain other types of transactions specified in the final rule), creditors

must obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a notification regarding the

use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of the written appraisals used. The Agencies are working to develop a

supplemental proposal concerning possible additional exemptions from this rule for certain refinance transactions, smaller-dollar

loans, and manufactured housing transactions. The Agencies also are continuing their work to develop proposals to implement

the Dodd-Frank Act's amendments to FIRREA concerning appraisal management company registration and quality control

standards for automated valuation models.

Title: Requirements for Prepaid Cards (Regulation E)

Abstract: The CFPB published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking comment, data, and information

from the public about general purpose reloadable (GPR) prepaid cards (GPR cards). GPR cards are a prepaid financial product

that have been increasing in popularity and that some consumers now use in a manner similar to a debit card that is linked to a

traditional checking account. Through its ANPRM, which asked ten broad questions about GPR cards, the CFPB sought to learn

more about this product, including its costs, benefits, and risks to consumers. The CFPB is reviewing the comments received to

determine what rule or rules may be appropriate and expects based on that analysis to issue a proposed rule to follow up on the

issues raised in the ANPRM.

Title: Supervision of Certain Nonbank Covered Persons--Defining Larger Participants in Certain Consumer Financial Product

and Service Markets

Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB anticipates

proposing a rule to implement its supervisory program for nonbank covered persons. Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Act,

the CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and

for other purposes. Under section 1024(a)(1)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act, for certain markets, the supervision program generally

will apply only to "larger participant[s]" of these markets. The contemplated regulations would help establish the scope of the

CFPB's nonbank supervision program by defining who is a larger participant in certain markets for consumer financial products

or services.

Title: Amendments to 2013 Mortgage Rules (Regulations B, X, and Z)

Abstract: In April 2013, the CFPB issued two proposed rules providing clarifying and technical amendments to final mortgage

related rules issued by the CFPB in January 2013. The first proposed rule would amend the CFPB's final rule relating to escrow

accounts (under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)) issued on January 10, 2013, which final rule, among other things,

lengthens the time for which a mandatory escrow account established for a higher-priced mortgage loan (HPML) must be

maintained. The final rule also established an exemption from the escrow requirement for certain creditors that operate

predominantly in "rural" or "underserved" areas. The amendments in the proposal would clarify the determination method for the

"rural" and "underserved" designations and keep in place certain existing protections for HPMLs until other similar provisions

take effect in January 2014. The CFPB issued a final rule on May 16, 2013. The second proposed rule amended the CFPB's

final mortgage rules on mortgage servicing (under Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act), and Regulation Z)

issued on January 17, 2013, and on ability to repay and qualified mortgage standards (under Regulation Z) issued on January

10, 2013. These proposed amendments clarify or correct provisions on: (1) The relation to State law of Regulation X's servicing

provisions; (2) the small servicer exemption from certain servicing rules; (3) the use of government sponsored enterprise and

Federal agency purchase, guarantee or insurance eligibility for determining qualified mortgage status; and (4) the determination

of debt and income for purposes of originating qualified mortgages. On May 8, 2013, the CFPB also issued a proposed rule

temporarily delay the June 1, 2013, effective date of a prohibition on creditors financing credit insurance premiums in connection

with certain consumer credit transactions secured by a dwelling. The prohibition was adopted in the CFPB's final mortgage rule

on loan originator compensation requirements (under Regulation Z) issued by the CFPB in January 2013. The CFPB issued a

final rule on May 29, 2013. The CFPB is working to finalize the second of the April proposals. The CFPB is also working on

proposing further amendments and clarifications to the January 2013 mortgage rules. These issuances may include, in addition

to any further proposed clarifications to the mortgage servicing and the ability-to-repay and qualified mortgage standards final

rules, amendments to final rules issued in January 2013 amending Regulations B, X, and Z.

Title: Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund

Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act or Act) establishes a "Consumer

Financial Civil Penalty Fund" (Civil Penalty Fund) into which the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must deposit

any civil penalty it obtains against any person in any judicial or administrative action under Federal consumer financial laws.

Under the Act, funds in the Civil Penalty Fund may be used for payments to the victims of activities for which civil penalties have

been imposed under Federal consumer financial laws. In addition, to the extent that such victims cannot be located or such

payments are otherwise not practicable, the CFPB may use funds in the Civil Penalty Fund for the purpose of consumer

education and financial literacy programs. This rule implements the relevant statutory provisions by articulating the CFPB's

interpretation of what kinds of payments to victims are appropriate and by establishing procedures for allocating funds for such

payments to victims and for consumer education and financial literacy programs.

Title: Restatement of Federal Consumer Financial Law Regulations

Abstract: The CFPB has recodified regulations implementing Federal consumer financial laws as a series of interim final rules

in chapter X of title 12 of the CFR. Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd- Frank

Act) transferred rulemaking authority for 14 consumer financial protection laws from 7 transferor agencies to the CFPB as of

July 21, 2011. Pursuant to that authority, the CFPB has recodified existing regulations implementing certain portions of the Fair

Credit Reporting Act, certain portions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing

Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Interstate Land Sales

and Full Disclosure Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, certain portions of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, subsections 43(b)-(f) of

the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth in

Lending Act, and section 626 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009. The CFPB's interim final rules made no substantive

changes to the regulations of the agencies from which the rulemaking authority transferred, but made nomenclature, technical,

and other conforming changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act and consolidated multiple versions of the regulations under

those statutes where rulewriting authority previously had been split across multiple agencies. Changes included, for example,

revisions to references to the transferor agency, internal cross-references, addresses for filing applications and notices, and

references to the scope of the CFPB's authority as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFPB may make technical

amendments to the recodified regulations, if necessary. OMB has determined that the CFPB's re- codification as Regulation V,

12 CFR 1022, of certain pre-existing regulations implementing portions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act should be classified as a

"major" rulemaking under the Congressional Review Act. Thus, the priority of the CFPB's restatement of Regulation V is "Other

Significant."

Title: Integrated Mortgage Disclosures Under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Regulation X) and the Truth in

Lending Act (Regulation Z)

Abstract: Sections 1032(f), 1098, and 1100A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act) direct the CFPB to issue proposed rules and forms that combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in

connection with a mortgage loan under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Consistent with

this requirement, the CFPB has proposed to amend Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and Regulation Z

(Truth in Lending) to establish new disclosure requirements and forms in Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit

transactions secured by real property. In addition to combining the existing disclosure requirements and implementing new

requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB's proposed rule provides extensive guidance regarding compliance with those

requirements. The proposal had two comment periods. Comments on the proposed revisions to the definition of the finance

charge and the proposed compliance date for the new Dodd-Frank Act disclosures were due September 7, 2012. Comments on

all other aspects of the proposal were due November 6, 2012. On September 6, 2012, the CFPB issued a notice extending the

comment period to November 6, 2012, for the proposed revisions to the definition of the finance charge. The CFPB is working to

issue a final rule. The CFPB issued the final rule to implement the compliance dates for the new Dodd-Frank Act disclosures

that were proposed in this proposal in a separate rulemaking, as noted elsewhere in this regulatory agenda (see RIN 3170-

AA32).

Title: Procedural Rule To Establish Supervisory Authority Over Certain Nonbank Covered Persons Based on Risk

Determination

Abstract: Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the

CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for

other purposes. Under section 1024(a)(1)(C) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB may bring under its supervisory authority any

nonbank covered person who the CFPB has reasonable cause to determine is engaging, or has engaged, in conduct that poses

risks to consumers. The CFPB anticipates publishing a final rule that would establish procedures for bringing within the scope of

the CFPB's nonbank supervision program certain covered persons whose conduct the CFPB has reasonable cause to

determine poses risks to consumers.

Title: Rules of Practice for Issuance of Temporary Cease-and-Desist Orders

Abstract: Under section 1053(c) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the CFPB is authorized

to issue a temporary cease and desist order against a person subject to a notice of charges if: (1) The violation specified in the

notice of charges is likely to cause the person to be insolvent or otherwise prejudice the interests of consumers before the

completion of the underlying proceedings or (2) the person's books and records are so incomplete or inaccurate that the CFPB

is unable to determine the financial condition of that person or the details or purpose of any transaction or transactions that may

have a material effect on that person's financial condition. Such temporary order may require the person to cease and desist

from any violation or practice, and/or to take affirmative action to correct its practices or records, and is appealable in Federal

district court within 10 days of its service. The CFPB is developing proposed rules to clarify certain procedural aspects of these

provisions.

Title: The Expedited Funds Availability Act (Regulation CC)

Abstract: The Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA Act), implemented by Regulation CC, governs availability of funds after a

check deposit and check collection and return processes. Section 1086 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

Protection Act amended the EFA Act to provide the CFPB with joint rulemaking authority with the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System (Board) over certain consumer-related EFA Act provisions. The Board proposed amendments to

Regulation CC in March 2011, to facilitate the banking industry's ongoing transition to fully-electronic interbank check collection

and return. The Board's proposal includes some provisions that are subject to the CFPB's joint rulemaking authority, including

the period for funds availability and revising model form disclosures. The CFPB will work with the Board to jointly issue a final

rule that includes provisions within the CFPB's authority.

Title: Disclosures For Remittance Transactions (Regulation E)

Abstract: The CFPB published in the Federal Register on February 7, 2012, a final rule to implement section 1073 of the

Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to

create a comprehensive new Federal consumer protection regime for remittance transfers by U.S. consumers to individuals and

businesses in foreign countries. Consistent with the statute, the final rule requires remittance transfer providers to provide

certain disclosures, cancellation rights, and error resolution procedures. In August 2012, the CFPB published a final rule

providing additional guidance regarding what companies are not subject to the rule because they do not provide remittance

transfers in the "normal course of business" and modifying certain requirements as applied to remittance transfers scheduled

several days in advance. The CFPB published a proposal in the Federal Register on December 31,2012 in which it proposed to:

(1) provide additional flexibility regarding the disclosure of foreign taxes, as well as fees imposed by a designated recipient's

institution for receiving a remittance transfer in an account; (2) limit a remittance transfer provider's obligation to disclose foreign

taxes to those imposed by a country's central government; and, (3) revise the error resolution provisions that apply when a

remittance transfer is not delivered to a designated recipient because the sender provided incorrect or insufficient information,

and, in particular, when a sender provides an incorrect account number and that incorrect account number results in the funds

being deposited in the wrong account The Bureau also proposed a brief extension of the effective date of the rule until 90 days

after the Bureau finalizes the proposal. On January 29, 2013,the Bureau published in the Federal Register a final rule that

temporarily delayed the February 7, 2013 effective date of the rule until it finalizes the December 31, 2012 proposal. On April

30, 2013, the CFPB issued a rule that changed the previously-issued final rules in three respects. First, the rule makes optional,

in certain circumstances, the requirement to disclose fees imposed by a designated recipient's institution. Second and relatedly,

the rule also makes optional the requirement to disclose taxes collected by a person other than the remittance transfer provider.

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
In place of these two former requirements, the rule requires disclaimers to be added to the rule's disclosures indicating that the

recipient may receive less than the disclosed total due to the fees and taxes for which disclosure is now optional. Finally, the

rule revises the error resolution provisions that apply when a remittance transfer is not delivered to a designated recipient

because the sender provided incorrect or insufficient information, and, in particular, when a sender provides an incorrect

account number or recipient institution identifier that results in the transferred funds being deposited in the wrong account. The

rule also established an effective date of October 28, 2013.

Title: Defining Larger Participants of the Student Loan Servicing Market

Abstract: The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) issued and published for public comment on March 28, 2013,

a proposed rule that would amend the regulation defining larger participants of certain consumer financial product and service

markets by adding a new section to define larger participants of a market for student loan servicing. The Bureau proposed this

rule pursuant to its authority, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, to supervise certain

nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial law and for other purposes. The Bureau has the

authority to supervise nonbank covered persons of all sizes in the residential mortgage, private education lending, and payday

lending markets. In addition, the Bureau has the authority to supervise nonbank "larger participant[s]" of markets for other

consumer financial products or services, as the Bureau defines by rule. The proposed rule would identify a market for student

loan servicing and define "larger participants" of this market that would be subject to the Bureau's supervisory authority. The

Bureau is working to issue a final rule defining larger participants of the student loan servicing market.

Title: Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity (Regulation D)

Abstract: On July 22, 2011, the CFPB published an interim final rule necessary to fill a regulatory gap created by the

amendments to the Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act (AMTPA) in section 1083 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform

and Consumer Protection Act. This interim final rule clarifies the circumstances under which State housing creditors may make

alternative mortgage transactions pursuant to AMTPA in States that prohibit such transactions. The interim final rule is in place

as a temporary measure pending the CFPB's promulgation of permanent rules under section 1083. Because section 1083

requires the CFPB to assess predecessor agencies' rules under AMTPA and to promulgate regulations governing alternative

mortgage transactions by federally chartered housing creditors in addition to State housing creditors, the CFPB will next develop

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement the broader rulemaking.

Title: Supervision of Larger Depository Institutions and Affiliates

Abstract: Under section 1025 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the

CFPB is authorized to supervise insured depository institutions with total assets of more than $10 billion, their affiliates, and

certain service providers for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes. Among other things, the

Dodd-Frank Act calls for coordination between the CFPB and the prudential regulators in exercising their supervisory authorities.

For certain smaller insured depository institutions, section 1026 of the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB, among other

things, to include examiners in examinations conducted by the prudential regulators to assess compliance with Federal

consumer financial laws on a sampling basis. The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed rules to clarify certain aspects of

these provisions.

Title: TILA Mortgage Amendments (Regulation Z)

Abstract: On August 26, 2009, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) proposed for comment

proposals to amend Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) regarding disclosure requirements for closed-end loans secured by real

property or a dwelling and open-end home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). On September 24, 2010, the Board proposed certain

amendments to Regulation Z, and the staff commentary to the regulation, as part of a comprehensive review of TILA's rules for

home-secured credit. The Board's proposal addressed (a) Revising the rules for the consumer's right to rescind certain openend and closed-end loans secured by the consumer's principal dwelling; (b) revising the rules for determining when a

modification of an existing closed-end mortgage loan secured by real property or a dwelling is a new transaction requiring new

disclosures; and (c) amending the disclosure rules for open- and closed-end reverse mortgages. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank

Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the rulemaking authority for TILA generally transferred from

the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. The CFPB is evaluating further action regarding the three pending proposals. Many of

the disclosure aspects of these proposals have been superseded by the rulemaking integrating the mortgage disclosures

required by TILA and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Section 1032(f) of the Dodd-Frank Act).

Title: High-Cost Mortgage and Homeownership Counseling Amendments to the Truth in Lending Act & Homeownership

Counseling Amendments to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act

Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended the Truth in Lending

Act (TILA) by expanding the types of mortgage loans that are subject to the protections of the Home Ownership and Equity

Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), by revising and expanding the tests for coverage under HOEPA, and by imposing additional

restrictions on mortgages that are covered by HOEPA, including a pre-loan counseling requirement. The Dodd- Frank Act also

amended TILA and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) by imposing certain other requirements related to

homeownership counseling. The CFPB proposed to amend Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) and Regulation X (Real Estate

Settlement Procedures Act) to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's amendments to TILA and RESPA. The comment period for the

proposed rule originally ended on September 7, 2012, except that the comment period for the portion of the proposal relating to

proposed information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act closed on October 15, 2012. On September 6, 2012 the

CFPB issued a notice extending the comment period to November 6, 2012, for certain specific aspects of the proposal. The

CFPB issued a final rule on January 10, 2013, which was published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2013.

Title: Loan Originator Compensation Requirements Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)

Abstract: The CFPB published for public comment in August 2012 a proposed rule amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending)

to implement amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). On January 20, 2013 the CFPB issued a final rule which was published in Federal Register on

February 15, 2013. The final rule implements requirements and restrictions imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act concerning loan

originator compensation; qualifications of, and registration or licensing of loan originators; compliance procedures for depository

institutions; mandatory arbitration; and the financing of single-premium credit insurance. The final rule revises or provides

additional commentary on Regulation Z's restrictions on loan originator compensation, including application of these restrictions

to prohibitions on dual compensation and compensation based on a term of a transaction or a proxy for a term of a transaction,

and to recordkeeping requirements. The final rule also establishes tests for when loan originators can be compensated through

certain profits-based compensation arrangements. At this time, the CFPB is not prohibiting payments to and receipt of payments

by loan originators when a consumer pays upfront points or fees in the mortgage transaction. Instead the CFPB will first study

how points and fees function in the market and the impact of this and other mortgage-related rulemakings on consumers'

understanding of and choices with respect to points and fees. The final rule is designed primarily to protect consumers by

reducing incentives for loan originators to steer consumers into loans with particular terms and by ensuring that loan originators

are adequately qualified. The CFPB will issue at a later time proposed regulations on anti-steering provisions that TILA section

129B(c)(3) requires the CFPB to adopt.

Title: Mortgage Servicing Rules Under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Regulation X); Mortgage Servicing Rules

Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)

Abstract: The CFPB published a proposed rule to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and

the official interpretation of the regulation. The proposed amendments addressed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and

Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing. Specifically, the proposed

amendments address Dodd Frank Act sections relating to initial rate adjustment notices for adjustable- rate mortgages (ARMs),

periodic statements for residential mortgage loans, and prompt crediting of mortgage payments and response to requests for

payoff amounts. The proposed revisions also addressed current rules governing the scope, timing, content, and format of

current disclosures to consumers occasioned by interest rate adjustments of their variable-rate transactions. The CFPB also

published a proposed rule to amend Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974

(RESPA) and add a supplement setting forth an official interpretation of the regulation. The proposed amendments addressed

the Dodd-Frank Act provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing. Specifically, the proposed amendments addressed six

servicer obligations: (1) to correct errors asserted, and provide information requested, by mortgage loan borrowers; (2) to

provide protections to mortgage loan borrowers in connection with force-placed insurance; (3) to establish general servicing

policies, procedures and requirements; (4) to provide information about mortgage loss mitigation options and foreclosure to

delinquent borrowers; (5) to establish policies and procedures reasonably designed to provide delinquent borrowers with

continuity of contact with servicer personnel capable of performing certain functions; and (6) to evaluate borrowers' applications

for available loss mitigation options. The proposed amendments also addressed modifying and streamlining certain existing

general and servicing-related provisions of Regulation X. The CFPB issued final rules amending Regulation Z and Regulation X

on January 17, 2013 (published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2013).

Title: Escrow Requirements Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)

Abstract: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2011,

a proposed rule to implement certain amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) that lengthen the time for which a mandatory escrow account

established for a higher-priced mortgage loan must be maintained. In addition, the Board's proposal included provisions to

implement the Dodd-Frank Act's disclosure requirements regarding escrow accounts. The Board's proposal also included

provisions to exempt certain loans from the statute's escrow requirement, pursuant to authority in the Dodd-Frank Act. The

primary exemption in the proposal applied to mortgage loans extended by creditors that operate predominantly in rural or

underserved areas and meet certain other prerequisites. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the rulemaking authority for the TlLA

generally transferred from the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. The CFPB issued a final rule on January 10, 2013, which

was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2010. The CFPB, in a separate rulemaking (see RIN 3170-AA32), issued

a final rule postponing the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act disclosure requirements regarding escrow accounts.

Title: Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mortgage Standards Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)

Abstract: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) published for public comment on May 11, 2011, a

proposed rule amending Regulation Z to implement amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank

Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Regulation Z currently prohibits a creditor from making a

higher-priced mortgage loan without regard to the consumer's ability to repay the loan. The proposal would implement statutory

changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act that expand the scope of the ability-to-repay requirement to cover any consumer credit

transaction secured by a dwelling (excluding an open-end credit plan, timeshare plan, reverse mortgage, or temporary loan). In

addition, the proposal would establish presumptions of compliance with the ability-to-repay requirement, including by making a

"qualified mortgage." The proposal also implements the Dodd-Frank Act's limits on prepayment penalties. Finally, the proposal

would require creditors to retain evidence of compliance with this rule for three years after a loan is consummated. Pursuant to

the Dodd-Frank Act, the rulemaking authority for the TILA generally transferred from the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011.

On June 5, 2012, the CFPB issued a notice to reopen the comment period until July 9, 2012, to seek comment on certain new

data and information submitted during or obtained after the close of the original comment period. On January 10, 2013,the

CFPB issued a final rule (published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2013) implementing amendments to Regulation Z,

including the ability-to-repay requirements and "qualified mortgage" provisions. On January 10, 2013, the CFPB also issued a

concurrent proposal to seek public comment on certain revisions to the final rule, including certain exemptions from the abilityto-repay requirements and a definition of "qualified mortgage" for certain small creditor portfolio loans (published in the Federal

Register on January 30, 2013). The CFPB has issued a final rule (See RIN 3170-AA34).

Title: Credit Card Pre-Opening Account Fees (Regulation Z)

Abstract: Regulation Z generally limits the total amount of fees that a credit card issuer may require a consumer to pay with

respect to an account during the first year after account opening to 25 percent of the credit limit in effect when the account is

opened. In April 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System further amended Regulation Z to extend the

limitation to include fees the consumer is required to pay prior to account opening. In September 2011, the U.S. District Court

for South Dakota issued a preliminary injunction preventing this amendment from taking effect. In June 2012 the CFPB proposed

a regulation to amend Regulation Z to apply the 25 percent limitation only during the first year after account opening. On March

28, 2013, the CFPB published a final rule.

Abstract: On January 18, 2013, the CFPB issued a final rule (published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2013)

amending Regulation B, which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), and the official interpretation to the

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
regulation, which interprets the requirements of Regulation B. The revisions to Regulation B implement an ECOA amendment

concerning appraisals that was enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In general,

the revisions to Regulation B require creditors to provide free copies of all written appraisals and valuations developed in

connection with an application for a loan to be secured by a first lien on a dwelling. The revisions also require creditors to notify

applicants in writing of the right to receive a copy of each written appraisal or valuation at no additional cost.

Title: Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009/Ability to Pay (Regulation Z)

Abstract: On April 25, 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) issued a final rule that, among

other things, amended the provisions of Regulation Z that implement the requirement in the Credit Card Accountability

Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit Card Act) that card issuers consider a consumer's ability to pay (ATP) before

opening a new credit card account or increasing the credit limit on an existing account. These amendments expanded the preexisting independence standard applicable to consumers under the age of 21 to all consumers, regardless of age. On

November 7, 2012 the CFPB published a proposed rule that further amended the ATP provisions of Regulation Z to address

concerns that the current rule unduly limits the ability of spouses and partners not working outside the home to obtain credit

cards based on spousal/partner income. The proposal eliminated the independent ability-to-pay requirement for consumers and

applicants age 21 or older and instead permits card issuers to consider income and assets to which a consumer or applicant

has a reasonable expectation of access. The CFPB issued a final rule on April 29, 2013 (published in the Federal Register on

May 3, 2013).
