1713(c)(3)(A)); 

(2) Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 

1715e(b)(2)(A));

The dollar amounts in these sections,

Amounts shall be calculated using the 

percentage change in the Consumer 

Price Index for All Urban Consumers 

(CPI–U) as applied by the Federal 

Reserve Board for purposes of the 

above-described HOEPA adjustment. 

HUD has been notified of the 

percentage change in the CPI–U used for 

the HOEPA adjustment and the effective 

date of the HOEPA adjustment. The 

percentage change in the CPI–U is 2.56 

percent and the effective date of the
