# ACTION:

Final rules and official interpretations.

# SUMMARY:

The OCC, the Board, and the CFPB are finalizing amendments to the official interpretations for their regulations that implement section 129H of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Section 129H of TILA establishes special appraisal requirements for “higher-risk mortgages,” termed “higher-priced mortgage loans” or “HPMLs” in the agencies' regulations. A December 2013 rulemaking exempted transactions of $25,000 or less and required that this loan amount be adjusted annually based on any annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Based on the CPI-W in effect as of June 1, 2024, the exemption threshold will increase from $32,400 to $33,500, effective January 1, 2025.

# DATES:

This final rule is effective January 1, 2025.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Background

                    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) amended TILA to add special appraisal requirements for “higher-risk mortgages.” [1]                                          In January 2013, the OCC, the Board, the CFPB, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) (collectively, Agencies) jointly issued a final rule implementing these requirements and adopted the term “higher-priced mortgage loan” (HPML) instead of “higher-risk mortgage” (January 2013 Final Rule).[2]                                          In July 2013, the Agencies proposed additional exemptions from the January 2013 Final Rule.[3]                                          In December 2013, the Agencies issued a supplemental final rule with additional exemptions from the January 2013 Final Rule (December 2013 Supplemental Final Rule).[4]                                          Among other exemptions, the Agencies adopted an exemption from the new HPML appraisal rules for transactions of $25,000 or less, to be adjusted annually for inflation.                

                    The OCC's, Board's, and CFPB's versions of the January 2013 Final Rule and December 2013 Supplemental Final Rule and corresponding official interpretations are substantively identical. The FDIC, NCUA, and FHFA adopted the CFPB's version of the regulations under the January 2013 Final Rule and December 2013 Supplemental Final Rule.[5] 

                    The OCC's, Board's, and CFPB's regulations,[6]                                          and their accompanying official interpretations,[7]                                          provide that the exemption threshold for smaller loans will be adjusted effective January 1 of each year based on any annual percentage increase in the CPI-W that was in effect on the preceding June 1. Any increase in the threshold amount will be rounded to the nearest $100 increment. For example, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $950 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $1,000. However, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $949 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $900. If there is no annual percentage increase in the CPI-W, the OCC, the Board, and the CFPB will not adjust the threshold amounts from the prior year.[8] 

                    On November 30, 2016, the OCC, the Board, and the CFPB published a final rule in the                     **Federal Register**                     to memorialize the calculation method used by the OCC, the Board, and the CFPB each year to adjust the exemption threshold to ensure that the values for the exemption threshold keep pace with the CPI-W (HPML Small Dollar Adjustment Calculation Rule).[9]                                          The HPML Small Dollar Adjustment Calculation Rule memorialized the policy that, if there is no annual                           ( print page 82932)                        percentage increase in the CPI-W, the OCC, Board, and CFPB will not adjust the exemption threshold from the prior year. The HPML Small Dollar Adjustment Calculation Rule also provided that, in years following a year in which the exemption threshold was not adjusted because there was a decrease in the CPI-W from the previous year, the threshold is calculated by applying the annual percentage change in the CPI-W to the dollar amount that would have resulted, after rounding, if the decreases and any subsequent increases in the CPI-W had been taken into account. If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is greater than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will increase accordingly. If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is equal to or less than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will not change, but future increases will be calculated based on the amount that would have resulted, after rounding.                

## II. 2025 Adjustment and Official Interpretations Revision

                    Effective January 1, 2025, the exemption threshold amount is increased from $32,400 to $33,500. This amount is based on the CPI-W in effect on June 1, 2024, which was reported on May 15, 2024 (based on April 2024 data).[10]                                          The CPI-W is a subset of the CPI-U index (based on all urban consumers) and represents approximately 30 percent of the U.S. population. The CPI-W reported on May 15, 2024, reflects a 3.4 percent increase in the CPI-W from April 2023 to April 2024. Accordingly, the 3.4 percent increase in the CPI-W from April 2023 to April 2024 results in an exemption threshold amount of $33,500, after rounding. The OCC, the Board, and the CFPB are revising the official interpretations to their respective regulations to add new comments as follows:                
    - Comment 203(b)(2)-3.xii to 12 CFR part 34, appendix C  to subpart G (OCC);
    - Comment 43(b)(2)-3.xii to supplement I of 12 CFR part 226  (Board); and
    - Comment 35(c)(2)(ii)-3.xii to supplement I of 12 CFR part 1026  (CFPB).

These new comments state that, from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, the threshold amount is $33,500. These revisions are effective January 1, 2025.

## III. Regulatory Analysis

### Administrative Procedure Act

                    Under the Administrative Procedure Act, notice and opportunity for public comment are not required if the agency finds that notice and public comment are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.[11]                                          The amendments in this rule are technical and apply the method previously memorialized in the December 2013 Supplemental Final Rule and the HPML Small Dollar Adjustment Calculation Rule. For these reasons, the OCC, the Board, and the CFPB have determined that publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking and providing opportunity for public comment are unnecessary. Therefore, the amendments are adopted in final form.                

### Regulatory Flexibility Act

                    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does not apply to a rulemaking where a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required.[12]                                          The OCC, the Board, and the CFPB have determined that it is unnecessary to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for this final rule. Accordingly, the RFA's requirements relating to an initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis do not apply.                

### Paperwork Reduction Act

                    The OCC, the Board, and the CFPB reviewed this final rule in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.[13]                                          The OCC, the Board, and the CFPB have determined that this rule does not create any new information collections or substantially revise any existing collections.                

### Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

                    The OCC analyzes proposed rules for the factors listed in section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 before promulgating a final rule for which a general notice of proposed rulemaking was published.[14]                                          As discussed above, the OCC has determined that the publication of a general notice of proposed rulemaking is unnecessary.                

### CFPB Congressional Review Act Statement

                    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801*et seq.*), the CFPB will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to the rule taking effect. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has designated this rule as not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

### Paragraph 34.203(b)(2)

                            1.                             *Threshold amount.*                             For purposes of § 34.203(b)(2), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in comment 203(b)(2)-3 for that period. The threshold amount is adjusted effective January 1 of each year by any annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) that was in effect on the preceding June 1. Comment 203(b)(2)-3 will be amended to provide the threshold amount for the upcoming year after the annual percentage change in the CPI-W that was in effect on June 1 becomes available. Any increase in the threshold amount will be rounded to the nearest $100 increment. For example, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $950 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $1,000. However, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $949 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $900.                        

                            2.                             *No increase in the CPI-W.*                             If the CPI-W in effect on June 1 does not increase from the CPI-W in effect on June 1 of the previous year, the threshold amount effective the following January 1 through December 31 will not change from the previous year. When this occurs, for the years that follow, the threshold is calculated based on the annual percentage change in the CPI-W applied to the dollar amount that would have resulted, after rounding, if decreases and any subsequent increases in the CPI-W had been taken into account.                        

                            i.                             *Net increases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is greater than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will increase accordingly.                        

                            ii.                             *Net decreases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is equal to or less than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will not change, but future increases will be calculated based on the amount that would have resulted.                        

                            3.                             *Threshold.*                             For purposes of § 34.203(b)(2), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in the following for that period.                        

i. From January 18, 2014, through December 31, 2014, the threshold amount is $25,000.

ii. From January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iii. From January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iv. From January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, the threshold amount is $25,500.

v. From January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, the threshold amount is $26,000.

vi. From January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, the threshold amount is $26,700.

vii. From January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, the threshold amount is $27,200.

viii. From January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, the threshold amount is $27,200.

ix. From January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, the threshold amount is $28,500.

x. From January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, the threshold amount is $31,000.

xi. From January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the threshold amount is $32,400.

xii. From January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, the threshold amount is $33,500.

                            4.                             *Qualifying for exemption—in general.*                             A transaction is exempt under § 34.203(b)(2) if the creditor makes an extension of credit at consummation that is equal to or below the threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation.                        

                            5.                             *Qualifying for exemption—subsequent changes.*                             A transaction does not meet the condition for an exemption under § 34.203(b)(2) merely because it is used to satisfy and replace an existing exempt loan unless the amount of the new extension of credit is equal to or less than the applicable threshold amount. For example, assume a closed-end loan that qualified for a § 34.203(b)(2) exemption at consummation in year one is refinanced in year ten and that the new loan amount is greater than the threshold amount in effect in year ten. In these circumstances, the creditor must comply with all of the applicable requirements of § 34.203 with respect to the year ten transaction if the original loan is satisfied and replaced by the new loan unless another exemption from the requirements of § 34.203 applies.                             *See*                             § 34.203(b) and (d)(7).

### Paragraph 43(b)(2)

                            1.                             *Threshold amount.*                             For purposes of § 226.43(b)(2), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in comment 43(b)(2)-3 for that period.

When this occurs, for the years that follow, the threshold is calculated based on the annual percentage change in the CPI-W applied to the dollar amount that would have resulted, after rounding, if decreases and any subsequent increases in the CPI-W had been taken into account.                        

                            i.                             *Net increases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is greater than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will increase accordingly.                        

                            ii.                             *Net decreases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is equal to or less than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will not change, but future increases will be calculated based on the amount that would have resulted.                        

                            3.                             *Threshold.*                             For purposes of § 226.43(b)(2), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in the following for that period.                        

i. From January 18, 2014, through December 31, 2014, the threshold amount is $25,000.

ii. From January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iii. From January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iv. From January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, the threshold amount is $25,500.

v. From January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, the threshold amount is $26,000.

vi. From January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, the threshold amount is $26,700.

vii. From January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, the threshold amount is $27,200.

viii. From January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, the threshold amount is $27,200.

ix. From January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, the threshold amount is $28,500.

                            x. From January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, the threshold amount is $31,000.                                  ( print page 82934)    

xi. From January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the threshold amount is $32,400.

xii. From January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, the threshold amount is $33,500.

                            5.                             *Qualifying for exemption—subsequent changes.*                             A transaction does not meet the condition for an exemption under § 226.43(b)(2) merely because it is used to satisfy and replace an existing exempt loan unless the amount of the new extension of credit is equal to or less than the applicable threshold amount. For example, assume a closed-end loan that qualified for a  § 226.43(b)(2) exemption at consummation in year one is refinanced in year ten and that the new loan amount is greater than the threshold amount in effect in year ten. In these circumstances, the creditor must comply with all of the applicable requirements of § 226.43 with respect to the year ten transaction if the original loan is satisfied and replaced by the new loan unless another exemption from the requirements of § 226.43 applies.                             *See*                             § 226.43(b) and (d)(7).

## Authority and Issuance

For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the CFPB amends Regulation Z, 12 CFR part 1026, as set forth below:

# PART 1026—TRUTH IN LENDING (REGULATION Z)

5. The authority citation for part 1026 continues to read as follows: 

Authority:12 U.S.C. 2601, 2603-2605, 2607, 2609, 2617, 3353, 5511, 5512, 5532, 5581; 15 U.S.C. 1601*et seq.*

## Supplement I to Part 1026—Official Interpretations

* * * * *

Section 1026.35—Requirements for Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans

* * * * *

### Paragraph 35(c)(2)(ii)

                            1.                             *Threshold amount.*                             For purposes of § 1026.35(c)(2)(ii), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in comment 35(c)(2)(ii)-3 for that period. The threshold amount is adjusted effective January 1 of each year by any annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) that was in effect on the preceding June 1. Comment 35(c)(2)(ii)-3 will be amended to provide the threshold amount for the upcoming year after the annual percentage change in the CPI-W that was in effect on June 1 becomes available. Any increase in the threshold amount will be rounded to the nearest $100 increment. For example, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $950 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $1,000. However, if the annual percentage increase in the CPI-W would result in a $949 increase in the threshold amount, the threshold amount will be increased by $900.                        

                            2.                             *No increase in the CPI-W.*                             If the CPI-W in effect on June 1 does not increase from the CPI-W in effect on June 1 of the previous year, the threshold amount effective the following January 1 through December 31 will not change from the previous year. When this occurs, for the years that follow, the threshold is calculated based on the annual percentage change in the CPI-W applied to the dollar amount that would have resulted, after rounding, if decreases and any subsequent increases in the CPI-W had been taken into account.                        

                            i.                             *Net increases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is greater than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will increase accordingly.                        

                            ii.                             *Net decreases.*                             If the resulting amount calculated, after rounding, is equal to or less than the current threshold, then the threshold effective January 1 the following year will not change, but future increases will be calculated based on the amount that would have resulted.                        

                            3.                             *Threshold.*                             For purposes of § 1026.35(c)(2)(ii), the threshold amount in effect during a particular period is the amount stated in the following for that period.                        

i. From January 18, 2014, through December 31, 2014, the threshold amount is $25,000.

ii. From January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iii. From January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, the threshold amount is $25,500.

iv. From January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, the threshold amount is $25,500.

v. From January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, the threshold amount is $26,000.

vi. From January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, the threshold amount is $26,700.

vii. From January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, the threshold amount is $27,200.

viii. From January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, the threshold amount is $27,200.

ix. From January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, the threshold amount is $28,500.

x. From January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, the threshold amount is $31,000.

xi. From January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the threshold amount is $32,400.

xii. From January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, the threshold amount is $33,500.

                            4.                             *Qualifying for exemption—in general.*                             A transaction is exempt under § 1026.35(c)(2)(ii) if the creditor makes an extension of credit at consummation that is equal to or below the threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation.                        

                            5.                             *Qualifying for exemption—subsequent changes.*                             A transaction does not meet the condition for an exemption under § 1026.35(c)(2)(ii) merely because it is used to satisfy and replace an existing exempt loan unless the amount of the new extension of credit is equal to or less than the applicable threshold amount. For example, assume a closed-end loan that qualified for a  § 1026.35(c)(2)(ii) exemption at consummation in year one is refinanced in year ten and that the new loan amount is greater than the threshold amount in effect in year ten. In these circumstances, the creditor must comply with all of the applicable requirements of § 1026.35(c) with respect to the year ten transaction if the original loan is satisfied and replaced by the new loan unless another exemption from the requirements of § 1026.35(c) applies.                             *See*                             § 1026.35(c)(2) and (c)(4)(vii).
