issued and sold by the Federal National Mort-
gage Association and the Federal Home Loan 
Mortgage Corporation (as provided in the 
amendments made by subsections (a)(2) and

high-cost areas will be increased by such re-
strictions, the Director may issue an order ter-
minating such restrictions, in whole or in part.

101
goals, with respect to the mortgage purchases by the en-

‘‘(b) ELIMINATING INTEREST RATE DISPARITIES.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In establishing and imple-

propriate information to allow the Director to assess 
if there are any disparities in interest rates charged 
on mortgages to borrowers who are minorities as 
compared with borrowers of similar creditworthiness 
who are not minorities, as evidenced in reports pur-
suant to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 
1975. 
‘‘(2) REPORT AND REMEDY.—Upon a finding 
by the Director, pursuant to the information pro-
vided by an enterprise in paragraph (1), that a pat-
tern of disparities in interest rates exists, the Direc-
tor shall—

cial Services of the House of Representatives
102
and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs of the Senate a report detailing 
the disparities; and 
‘‘(B) require the enterprise to take such 
action as the Director deems appropriate pursu-
ant to this Act to remedy the interest rate dis-
parities identified.

vidual borrower. 
‘‘(c) TIMING.—The Director shall establish an annual 
deadline by which the Director shall establish the annual 
housing goals under this subpart for each year, taking into 
consideration the need for the enterprises to reasonably 
and sufficiently plan their operations and activities in ad-
vance, including operations and activities necessary to 
meet such annual goals. 
‘‘SEC. 1332. SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING GOALS. 
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—The Director shall establish an

following categories of families:
103
‘‘(1) Low-income families. 
‘‘(2) Families that reside in low-income areas.

‘‘(b) DETERMINATION OF COMPLIANCE.—The Direc-
tor shall determine, for each year that the housing goal 
under this section is in effect pursuant to section 1331(a), 
whether each enterprise has complied with the single-fam-
ily housing goal established under this section for such 
year. An enterprise shall be considered to be in compliance 
with such a goal for a year only if—
‘‘(1) for each of the types of families described 
in subsection (a), the percentage of the number of 
conventional, conforming, single-family, owner-occu-
pied, purchase money mortgages purchased by each 
enterprise in such year that serve such families, 
meets or exceeds 
‘‘(2) the target for the year for such type of 
family that is established under subsection (c). 
‘‘(c) ANNUAL TARGETS.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para-
graph (2), for each of the types of families described

104
Disclosure Act of 1975 is publicly available, of the 
number of conventional, conforming, single-family, 
owner-occupied, purchase money mortgages origi-
nated in such year that serves such type of family, 
as determined by the Director using the information 
obtained and determined pursuant to paragraphs (3) 
and (4). 
‘‘(2) AUTHORITY TO INCREASE TARGETS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The Director may, for 
any year, establish by regulation, for any or all 
of the types of families described in subsection 
(a), percentage targets that are higher than the 
percentages for such year determined pursuant 
to paragraph (1), to reflect expected changes in 
market performance related to such information 
under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 
1975. 
‘‘(B) FACTORS.—In establishing any tar-
gets pursuant to subparagraph (A), the Direc-
tor shall consider the following factors: 
‘‘(i) National housing needs.

graphic conditions. 
‘‘(iii) The performance and effort of 
the enterprises toward achieving the hous-
105
ing goals under this section in previous 
years. 
‘‘(iv) The size of the conventional 
mortgage market serving each of the types 
of families described in subsection (a) rel-
ative to the size of the overall conventional 
mortgage market. 
‘‘(v) The need to maintain the sound 
financial condition of the enterprises.

family, owner-occupied, purchase money mortgages 
originated and purchased for the previous year. 
‘‘(4) CONFORMING
MORTGAGES.—In deter-
mining whether a mortgage is a conforming mort-
gage for purposes of this paragraph, the Director

mortgage loan to be the principal balance as re-
ported in the information referred to in paragraph 
(3), as rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. 
‘‘(d) NOTICE OF DETERMINATION AND ENTERPRISE 
COMMENT.—
106
‘‘(1) NOTICE.—Within 30 days of making a de-
termination under subsection (b) regarding a compli-
ance of an enterprise for a year with the housing 
goal established under this section and before any 
public disclosure thereof, the Director shall provide 
notice of the determination to the enterprise, which 
shall include an analysis and comparison, by the Di-
rector, of the performance of the enterprise for the 
year and the targets for the year under subsection 
(c). 
‘‘(2) COMMENT
PERIOD.—The Director shall 
provide each enterprise an opportunity to comment 
on the determination during the 30-day period be-
ginning upon receipt by the enterprise of the notice. 
‘‘(e) USE OF BORROWER INCOME.—In monitoring 
the performance of each enterprise pursuant to the hous-
ing goals under this section and evaluating such perform-
ance (for purposes of section 1336), the Director shall 
consider a mortgagor’s income to be such income at the 
time of origination of the mortgage. 
‘‘SEC. 1333. MULTIFAMILY SPECIAL AFFORDABLE GOAL. 
‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—The Director shall estab-
lish, by regulation, an annual goal for the purchase
107
by each enterprise of each of the following types of 
mortgages on multifamily housing: 
‘‘(A) Mortgages that finance dwelling units 
for low-income families. 
‘‘(B) Mortgages that finance dwelling units 
for very low-income families. 
‘‘(C) Mortgages that finance dwelling units 
assisted by the low-income housing tax credit 
under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986. 
‘‘(2) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL-
ER PROJECTS.—The Director shall establish, within 
the goal under this section, additional requirements 
for the purchase by each enterprise of mortgages de-
scribed in paragraph (1) for multifamily housing 
projects of a smaller or limited size, which may be 
based on the number of dwelling units in the project 
or the amount of the mortgage, or both, and shall 
include multifamily housing projects of such smaller 
sizes as are typical among such projects that serve 
rural areas. 
‘‘(3) FACTORS.—In establishing the goal under 
this section relating to mortgages on multifamily 
housing for an enterprise, the Director shall con-
sider—
108
‘‘(A) national multifamily mortgage credit 
needs; 
‘‘(B) the performance and effort of the en-
terprise in making mortgage credit available for 
multifamily housing in previous years; 
‘‘(C) the size of the multifamily mortgage 
market; 
‘‘(D) the ability of the enterprise to lead 
the industry in making mortgage credit avail-
able, especially for underserved markets, such 
as for small multifamily projects of 5 to 50 
units, multifamily properties in need of rehabili-
tation, and multifamily properties located in 
rural areas; and 
‘‘(E) the need to maintain the sound finan-
cial condition of the enterprise. 
‘‘(b) UNITS FINANCED BY HOUSING FINANCE AGEN-
CY BONDS.—The Director shall give full credit toward the 
achievement of the multifamily special affordable housing 
goal under this section (for purposes of section 1336) to 
dwelling units in multifamily housing that otherwise quali-
fies under such goal and that is financed by tax-exempt 
or taxable bonds issued by a State or local housing finance 
agency, but only if—
109
‘‘(1) such bonds are secured by a guarantee of 
the enterprise; or 
‘‘(2) are not investment grade and are pur-
chased by the enterprise. 
‘‘(c) USE OF TENANT INCOME OR RENT.—The Di-
rector shall monitor the performance of each enterprise 
in meeting the goals established under this section and 
shall evaluate such performance (for purposes of section 
1336) based on—
‘‘(1) the income of the prospective or actual 
tenants of the property, where such data are avail-
able; or 
‘‘(2) where the data referred to in paragraph 
(1) are not available, rent levels affordable to low-
income and very low-income families. 
A rent level shall be considered to be affordable for pur-
poses of this subsection for an income category referred 
to in this subsection if it does not exceed 30 percent of 
the maximum income level of such income category, with 
appropriate adjustments for unit size as measured by the 
number of bedrooms. 
‘‘(d) DETERMINATION OF COMPLIANCE.—The Direc-
tor shall, for each year that the housing goal under this 
section is in effect pursuant to section 1331(a), determine
110
whether each enterprise has complied with such goal and 
the additional requirements under subsection (a)(2). 
‘‘SEC. 1334. DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENT OF HOUSING 
GOALS. 
‘‘(a) AUTHORITY.—An enterprise may petition the 
Director in writing at any time during a year to reduce 
the level of any goal for such year established pursuant 
to this subpart. 
‘‘(b) STANDARD
FOR REDUCTION.—The Director 
may reduce the level for a goal pursuant to such a petition 
only if—
‘‘(1) market and economic conditions or the fi-
nancial condition of the enterprise require such ac-
tion; or 
‘‘(2) efforts to meet the goal would result in the 
constraint of liquidity, over-investment in certain 
market segments, or other consequences contrary to 
the intent of this subpart, or section 301(3) of the 
Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act 
(12 U.S.C. 1716(3)) or section 301(3) of the Fed-
eral Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act (12 
U.S.C. 1451 note), as applicable. 
‘‘(c) DETERMINATION.—The Director shall make a 
determination regarding any proposed reduction within 30 
days of receipt of the petition regarding the reduction. The
111
Director may extend such period for a single additional 
15-day period, but only if the Director requests additional 
information from the enterprise. A denial by the Director 
to reduce the level of any goal under this section may be 
appealed to the United States District Court for the Dis-
trict of Columbia or the United States district court in 
the jurisdiction in which the headquarters of an enterprise 
is located.’’. 
(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.—The Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992 is amended—
