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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFPB is publishing its fall 201 4 agenda as part of the Fall

201 4 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, Public Law 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.

### The CFPB reasonably anticipates having the regulatory matters identified below under

consideration during the period from November 1 , 201 4 , to October 31, 2015. 1 

### Among the Bureau’s more

significant regulatory efforts are the following.

Implementing Dodd-Frank Act Mortgage Protections

A major rulemaking priority for the Bureau continues to be the implementation of provisions of the

Dodd-Frank Act addressing practices and information concerning the nation’s mortgage market s. The

Bureau has already issued regulations implementing Dodd-Frank Act protections for mortgage

originations and servicing, and integrating various Federal mortgage disclosures, as discussed further

below. The Bureau is also working to implement Dodd-Frank amendments to the Home Mortgage

Disclosure Act (HMDA), which augment existing data reporting requirements regarding housing-related

loans and applications for such loans. In addition to obtaining data that is critical to the purposes of

HMDA

– which include providing the public and public officials with information that can be used to help

determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities, assisting

public officials in the distribution of public sector investments, and assisting in identifying possible

discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing antidiscrimination statutes

– the Bureau views this

rulemaking as an opportunity to streamline and modernize HMDA data collection and reporting in

furtherance of its mission under the Dodd-Frank Act to reduce unwarranted regulatory burden. The

Bureau published a proposed HMDA rule in the Federal Register on August 29, 2014, to add several

new reporting requirements and to clarify several existing requirements

. Publication of the proposal

foll ow ed initial outreach efforts and the convening of a panel under the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act in conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and the Small

Business Administration’s Chief Co unsel for Advocacy to consult with small lenders who may be affected

by the rulemaking. As the Bureau develops a final rule, it expects to review and consider public

com ments on the proposed rule, consult with other agencies and coordinate with them on implementation

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.

### efforts, conduct additional outreach to build and refine operational capacity, and prepare to assist

financial institutions in their compliance efforts.

The Bureau is also working to support implementation of its final rule combining several Federal

mortgage disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing on a mortgage

loan under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).

The project to integrate and streamline the disclosures was mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act, and is

intended to increase consumer understanding of mortgage transactions and facilitate compliance by

industry. The integrated forms are the cornerstone of the Bureau’s broader “Know Before You Owe”

initiative. The rule was issued in November 2013, and takes effect in August 2015. The Bureau is

working intensively to support implementation efforts and prepare consumer education materials and

initiatives to help consumers understand and use the new forms. In addition, in late 2014, the Bureau

plans to issue a small proposed rule to make technical corrections, allow for certain language related to

new construction loans to be added to the Loan Estimate form , and modify the same-day redisclosure

requirement for floating interest rates that are locked after the Loan Estimate is first provided.

The Bureau is also working to support the full implementation of, and facilitate compliance with

,
various mortgage-related final rules issued by the Bureau in January 2013, to strengthen consumer

protections involving the origination and servicing of mortgages

. These rules, implementing requirements

under the Dodd-Frank Act, were all effective by January 2014. The Bureau is working diligently to

monitor the market and plans to make clarifications and adjustments to the rules where warranted. The

Bureau is planning to issue rules in fall 2014, to provide certain adjustments to its rules for certain

nonprofit entities and to provide a cure mechanism for lenders seeking to make “qualified mortgages ”

under rules requiring assessment of consumers’ ability to repay their mortgage loans where the

mortgages exceed certain limitations on points and fees. The Bureau also anticipates issuing a proposal

in fall 2014, to amend various provisions of its mortgage servicing rules, in both Regulation X and

Regulation Z, including further clarification of the applicability of certain provisions when the borrower is in

bankruptcy, possible additional enhancements to loss mitigation requirements, and other topics. In

addition, in order to promote access to credit , t he Bureau is also currently engaged in further research to

asses s the impact of certain provisions implemented under the Dodd-Frank Act that modify general

### requirements for small creditors that operate predominantly in “rural or underserved” areas , and expects

to release a notice of proposed rulemaking in early 2015.

Bureau Regulatory Efforts in Other Consumer Markets

Th e B ureau continues to work on and consider a number of rulemakings to address important

consumer protection issues in other markets for consumer financial products and services.

First, in fall 2014, the Bureau anticipates issuing a proposed rule to create a comprehensive set

of protections for General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) cards and other prepaid products, such as payroll

cards and student loan disbursement cards, which are increasingly being used by consumers in place of

a traditional deposit account or credit card. The proposal will build on comments received by the Bureau

in response to a 2012 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment, data, and information

from the public about GPR cards. The proposed rule will seek to expand coverage in Regulation E

(implementing the Electronic Fund Transfer Act) to prepaid accounts, including GPR cards, by extending

and in some cases modifying disclosure, periodic statement, and error resolution requirements that apply

to consumer asset accounts that are currently subject to Regulation E. The Bureau also expects the

proposal to address treatment of overdraft services and credit features in connection with prepaid

accounts under both Regulation Z (Truth in Lending Act) and Regulation E.

Building on Bureau research and other sources, the Bureau is also considering what rules may

be appropriate for addressing the sustained use of short-term, high-cost credit products such as payday

loans and deposit advance products

. The Bureau issued a white paper on these products in April 2013

and a d ata point providing additional research in March 2014, and is continuing to analyze other

consumer protection concerns associated with the use of high-cost, small-dollar credit products.

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

The Bureau is also continuing to develop research on other critical consumer protection markets

to help assess whether regulation may be warranted. For example, the Bureau issued research on bank

and credit union overdraft programs in 2013 and 2014 and is planning to release the results of further

studies on overdraft programs and their effects on consumers

.

In addi tion, the Bureau ha s launched research initiatives to build on its November 2013, Advance

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on debt collection. These efforts include undertaking a survey to obtain

### information from consumers about their experiences with debt collection and launching consumer testing

initiatives to determine what information would be useful for consumers to have about debt collection and

their debts and how that information should be provided to them.

The Bureau is also continuing rulemaking activities that w ill further establish the Bureau’s

nonbank supervisory authority by defining larger participants of certain markets for consumer financial

products and services. Larger participants of such markets, as the Bureau defines by rule, are subject to

the Bureau ’s supervisory authority. In fall 2014, the Bureau issued a final rule that amended the

regulation defining larger participants of certain consumer financial products and services markets by

adding a new section to define larger participants of a market for international money transfers, and

began a rulemaking that would define larger participants of a market for automobile financing and define

certain automobile leasing activity as a financial product or service.

Bureau Regulatory Streamlining Efforts

The Bureau is continuing work to consider opportunities to modernize and streamline regulations

that it inherited from other agencies pursuant to a transfer of rulemaking authority under the Dodd-Frank

Act. This work includes implementing the consolidation and streamlining of Federal mortgage disclosure

forms discussed earlier, and exploring opportunities to reduce unwarranted regulatory burden as part of

the HMDA rulemaking. The Bureau also issued rules in fall 2014, to allow financial institutions that

restr ict their information sharing practices and meet other requirements to post their annual privacy

notices to customers under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act online rather than delivering them individually.

The rulemaking addresses longstanding concerns that the annual mailings are a source of unwarranted

regulatory burden and unwanted paperwork for consumers.

Finally, the Bureau is continuing to assess timelines for other rulemakings mandated by the

Dodd-Frank Act or inherited from other agencies and to conduct outreach and research to assess issues

in various other markets for consumer financial products and services. As this work continues, the

Bureau will evaluate possible policy responses, including possible rulemaking actions, taking into account

the critical need for and effectiveness of various policy tools. For example, as directed by Congress, the

Bureau is conducting a study on the use of arbitration agreements provided for consumer disputes in

connection with the offering or providing of consumer financial products or services. Upon the completion

### of this study, the Bureau will evaluate possible policy responses, including possible rulemaking actions

,

th e findings of which shall be consistent with the study. The Bureau will update its regulatory agenda in

spring 2015, to reflect the results of this further prioritization and planning.

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. In November 2013, the CFPB issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking seeking comment, data, and information from the public about debt collection practices and in January 2014, the CFPB extended the comment period to February 28, 2014. The Bureau is developing a survey to obtain information from consumers about their experiences with debt collectors and is engaged in qualitative testing to determine what information would be useful for consumers to have about debt collection and how that information should be provided to them.

Title: Overdraft

Abstract: In June 2013, the CFPB issued a white paper summarizing the CFPB's initial findings from its analysis of overdraft practices. The white paper, which was based on supervisory data from several large banks, highlighted a number of possible consumer protection concerns, including how consumers opt in to overdraft coverage for ATM and one-time debit card transactions, overdraft coverage limits, transaction posting order, overdraft and insufficient funds fee structure, and involuntary account closures. In July 2014, the CFPB released a report, based on data from the same sources, providing additional information about the outcomes of consumers who do and do not opt in to overdraft coverage for ATM and one-time debit card transactions. The July 2014 report also explored the transactions that overdraw consumer accounts. The CFPB plans to release the results of further studies on overdraft programs and their effects on consumers. The CFPB is also considering whether rules governing overdraft and related services are warranted, and, if so, what types of rules would be appropriate. A possible rulemaking might include disclosures or address specific acts or practices.

Title: Requirements for Prepaid Cards (Regulation E)

Abstract: General Purpose Reloadable (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. Consumers also are increasingly using GPR cards and other prepaid products, such as payroll cards and student loan disbursement cards, in place of a traditional deposit account or credit card. In 2012, the CFPB published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking comment, data, and information from the public about GPR cards. Based on its analysis of comments received and other research, the Bureau is developing a proposed rule to follow up on the issues raised in the ANPRM. The proposed rule will seek to expand coverage in Regulation E (implementing the Electronic Fund Transfer Act) to prepaid accounts, including GPR cards, by extending and in some cases modifying disclosure, periodic statement, and error resolution requirements that apply to consumer asset accounts that are currently subject to Regulation E. In particular, the Bureau expects to propose new disclosure requirements and model forms, which the Bureau is developing through consumer testing. The Bureau also expects the proposal to address treatment of overdraft services and credit features in connection with prepaid accounts under both Regulation Z (Truth in Lending Act) and Regulation E.

Title: Defining Larger Participants of the Automobile Financing Market and Defining Certain Automobile Leasing Activity as a Financial Product or Service

Abstract: The CFPB issued a proposed rule in September 2014 (published in the Federal Register in October 2014), 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 automobile financing. The CFPB 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 CFPB 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 CFPB has the authority to supervise nonbank "larger participant[s]” of markets for other consumer financial products or services, as the CFPB defines by rule. The proposed rule would identify a market for automobile financing and define "larger participants” of this market that would be subject to the CFPB's supervisory authority. The proposed rule would also define certain automobile leasing activity as a "financial product or service,” under section 1002(15)(A)(xi)(II)of the Dodd-Frank Act. The proposed rule would also make certain technical amendments to the Bureau"s existing largerparticipant rules. The CFPB anticipates issuing a final rule after consideration of comments.

Title: Defining Larger Participants in Certain Consumer Financial Product and Service MarketsAbstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB is considering issuing additional proposals 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 Bureau has defined larger participants in several markets and is considering issuing additional regulations to define further the scope of the CFPB's nonbank supervision program. The CFPB also monitors market trends and developments, which may cause the Bureau to propose amendments on occasion to existing rules defining "larger participants” of these markets.

Title: Amendments and Corrections to TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Final Rule

Abstract: Sections 1032(f), 1098, and 1100A of the Dodd-Frank Act directed 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 published a final rule on December 31, 2013 that amended 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 final rule provides extensive guidance regarding compliance with those requirements. In late 2014, the Bureau plans to propose an amendment that will provide for technical corrections to the rule text and commentary; allow for certain language related to construction loans to be added to the Loan Estimate form; and also to propose extending a same-day redisclosure requirement for floating interest rates that are locked after the Loan Estimate is first provided.

Title: Restatement of Federal Consumer Financial Law Regulations

Abstract: 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 recodified regulations, which were issued as a series of interim final rules in chapter X of title 12 of the CFR, 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 has found no cause to make any significant changes to the recodified regulations based on the comments received on the interim final rules, and therefore has not prioritized issuing final rules. 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: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Regulation C)

Abstract: Section 1094 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended 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, among other things, 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 the 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 non-amortizing payments, the application 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 released a proposal in July 2014, published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2014 that would add data points in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act amendments and align, to the extent practicable, the regulatory requirements with existing industry standards for collecting data on mortgage loans and applications. The proposal also included other revisions to its regulations to effectuate the purposes of HMDA, including changes to institutional and transactional coverage, modifications of reporting requirements, and clarifications of other existing regulatory 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. In addition, in December 2013, the Board proposed revised amendments to certain Regulation CC provisions that are not subject to the CFPB's authority and stated in the proposal that the comment period has been extended to May 2, 2014. The CFPB will work with the Board to issue jointly a final rule that includes provisions within the CFPB's authority.

Title: Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund

Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) establishes a "Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund" (Civil Penalty Fund) into which the CFPB must deposit any civil penalty it obtains against any person in any judicial or administrative action under Federal consumer financial laws. Under the Dodd-Frank 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.Priority: Info./Admin./Other Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Final Rule Major: Undetermined Unfunded Mandates: No

Title: Further Amendments to 2013 Mortgage Rules (Regulations X and Z)
Abstract: In January 2013, the CFPB issued final rules implementing numerous provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Truth in Lending Act, as amended by title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The CFPB has since made various corrections, clarifications, and other amendments to the January 2013 final rules. Certain provisions of the rules took effect in 2013 and the rest of the rules took effect in January 2014. The CFPB continues to conduct further analysis to consider possible amendments as warranted based on the CFPB's monitoring of the market and implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act requirements. The CFPB released a notice of proposed rulemaking on certain limited issues in spring 2014, and published a final rule thereunder on November 3, 2014, to provide certain adjustments to its rules for certain nonprofit entities and to provide a cure mechanism for lenders seeking to make "qualified mortgages” under rules requiring assessment of consumers" ability to repay their mortgage loans where the mortgages exceed certain limitations on points and fees. In addition, the CFPB published an interpretive rule titled "Application of Regulation Z's Ability-To-Repay Rule to Certain Situations Involving Successors-in-Interest" on July 17, 2014. The CFPB also anticipates issuing a proposal in fall 2014 to amend various provisions of its mortgage servicing rules, in both Regulation X and Regulation Z, including further clarification of the applicability of certain provisions when the borrower is in bankruptcy, possible additional enhancements to loss mitigation requirements, and other topics. Further, the CFPB expects to release in early 2015 a notice of proposed rulemaking in connection with certain provisions that modify general requirements for small creditors that operate predominantly in "rural or underserved” areas, while it continues to assess possibleadditional guidance that would facilitate the development of automated underwriting systems for purposes of calculating debt-toincome ratios in connection with qualified mortgage determinations and other topics.

Title: Amendments to 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 regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) concerning appraisals. 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 (AMCs). The FIRREA amendments further require implementing regulations for new quality control standards for automated valuation models (AVMs) designed 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. Work to issue a final rule to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's AMC amendments to FIRREA is ongoing, and work to develop a proposed rule to implement the Dodd-Frank Act"s AVM amendments to FIRREA will continue.

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: Business Lending Data (Regulation B)
Abstract: Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amends the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to require financial institutions to report information concerning credit applications made by women- or minority-owned businesses and small businesses. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act require that certain data be collected and maintained under ECOA, including the number of the application and date the application was received; the type and purpose of loan or credit applied for; the amount of credit applied for and approved; the type of action taken with regard to each application and the date of such action; the census tract of the principal place of business; the gross annual revenue; and the race, sex, and ethnicity of the principal owners of the business. The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed regulations concerning the data to be collected and appropriate procedures, information safeguards, and privacy protections for information-gathering under this section.

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. Among other things, the Board's proposal addressed: (a) Revising the rules for the consumer's right to rescind certain open-end 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 newtransaction 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. 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). 78 FR 79730. The CFPB is evaluating further action regarding the three pending proposals.

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. An interim final rule implementing section 1053(c) was published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2013. The CFPB is reviewing the comments received on the rule.

Title: Amendment to the Annual Privacy Notice Requirement Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Regulation P)

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 explaining how a customer can opt out of the sharing of their information when applicable. The CFPB, in response to a Federal Register notice titled "Streamlining Inherited Regulations” issued in December 2011 (76 FR 75825), received comment suggesting revising the annual notice requirements in various circumstances to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden and unwanted paperwork for consumers. After reviewing policy options, the CFPB issued a proposed rule in May 2014 and received comment on potential revisions to the annual privacy notice requirement of Regulation P. The CFPB published a final rule in the Federal Register onOctober 28, 2014, to allow financial institutions that restrict their information sharing practices and meet other requirements to post their annual privacy notices to customers under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act online rather than delivering them individually.

Title: Electronic Fund Transfers (Regulation E)
Abstract: On February 7, 2012, the CFPB published in the Federal Register 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 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 generally requires remittance transfer providers to provide exact disclosures relating to the remittance transfer, but permits insured depository institutions and insured credit unions to estimate the exchange rate and certain other disclosures under certain circumstances. The statute provides that the exception shall expire on July 21, 2015, unless the CFPB extends the exception for up to five years based on a determination that the termination of this provision would negatively affect the ability of insured institutions to send remittances to locations in foreign countries. On April 25, 2014, the Bureau issued a proposed rule to extend the temporary exception for certain estimates in the rule from July 21, 2015, to July 21, 2020 and to clarify or make technical corrections to certain other aspects of the rule. In connection with the rulemaking, Bureau staff interviewed approximately 35 industry stakeholders and consumer advocacy groups about the temporary exception. The Bureau published a final rule in September 18, 2014.
