[26] [24] The primary difference between these proposals and the collection permitted by final 1002.5(a)(4)(i), (ii), and (iii) would be the removal of the five-year timeframe. The Bureau proposed to amend 1002.5(a)(4) to authorize creditors to collect such information under certain additional circumstances. Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. Therefore, the Bureau believes any operational costs from adopting the 2016 URLA are part of the normal course of business and are not a cost of the final rule. The rule is effective on January 1, 2018, except that the amendment to Appendix B to Part 1002 revising paragraph 1 and removing the existing Uniform Residential Loan Application form in amendatory instruction 6 is effective January 1, 2022. The Bureau concluded that the proposal, if adopted, would not have a significant economic impact on any small entities and that an IRFA was therefore not required. Without Regulation B's explanation requirement, many potential borrowers with errors in their credit reports would become discouraged and give up. The current Regulation B appendix includes the 2004 URLA as a model form for use in complying with 1002.13. Counts are subject to sampling, reprocessing and revision (up or down) throughout the day. The other commenter asserted that collection of applicant demographic information requires significant time and resources for Regulation B-only creditors and that the information is virtually never used. Under 1002.13(a)(1), creditors that receive an application for credit primarily for the purchase or refinancing of a dwelling occupied (or to be occupied) by the applicant as a principal residence, where the extension of credit will be secured by the dwelling, must collect certain protected applicant-characteristic information, including specified race and ethnicity categories.

Financial institutions that report under Regulation C, have reported in the prior five years, or may report in the near future may also be affected by this rule. documents in the last year, 1408 on FederalRegister.gov Accordingly, 1002.5(a)(4)(vi) permits a creditor that is collecting information regarding the ethnicity, race, and sex of an applicant or first co-applicant to collect information regarding the ethnicity, race, and sex of a second or additional co-applicant for a covered loan under Regulation C 1003.2(e), or for a loan described in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) through (v). Second, for creditors collecting aggregate applicant demographic information pursuant to 1002.13(a)(1)(i)(A) and (ii), the Bureau proposed to amend the Regulation B appendix to add a model form. As proposed, comment 13(a)-8 permitted a creditor to choose on an application-by-application basis whether to collect aggregate information pursuant to 1002.13(a)(1)(i)(A) or disaggregated information pursuant to 1002.13(a)(1)(i)(B).

The Bureau also proposed to revise comment 13(b)-1 to reiterate that when a creditor collects only aggregate ethnicity and race information pursuant to 1002.13(a)(1)(i)(A), the applicant must be offered the option to select more than one racial designation. One commenter stated that extending the requirement to collect applicant demographic information on the basis of visual observation or surname to Regulation B-only creditors is outside the scope of ECOA. Reg B is part of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which is regulated and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The spouses of rejected married applicants also have the right to this information. This would lead to unnecessary burden from collecting both aggregate and disaggregated data.

Accordingly, the Bureau is not making disaggregated race and ethnicity categories mandatory for compliance with Regulation B at this time. As discussed in the Section 1022(b) analysis for the 2015 HMDA Final Rule, collection of disaggregated race and ethnicity data can enhance the ability of regulators, researchers and community groups to conduct fair lending analysis. The creditor shall then also note on the form, to the extent possible, the ethnicity, race, and sex of the applicant(s) on the basis of visual observation or surname. Section 1002.12(b)(1) provides that a creditor must retain certain records for 25 months, or 12 months for business credit. The Bureau does not have an estimate of the number of rural community banks that are currently exempt from HMDA reporting and originate at least 25 loans per year. Amend 1002.5 by adding paragraph (a)(4) to read as follows: (4) Other permissible collection of information. One commenter indicated that the Bureau's proposed effective date for this rule creates concerns that it does not indicate that the collection of disaggregated applicant demographic information is permitted for applications received in 2017 for which final action is taken in 2018. hXmo6+}wR@ N@WMv3Asc~HRHmP0(@J-,9)|PP9hZhkhF4+Ao j1x- sjzIwK[MvS}4=$BUzw3$ [4], The HMDA requirement to collect and report applicant information was recently updated through a final rule amending Regulation C, published in October of 2015 (2015 HMDA Final Rule). The Bureau is therefore not requiring the collection of disaggregated categories for Regulation B-only creditors. Because of the differences between the categories, some creditors required to collect and report race and ethnicity using the disaggregated categories set forth in revised Regulation C may be uncertain whether additional collection using aggregated categories would also be required to satisfy current Regulation B. The Bureau believes this clarification will simplify collection practices and reduce compliance burden by aligning Regulation B and Regulation C. The clarification will also allow Regulation B-only creditors to maintain their existing practices under 1002.13 if so desired. Before the January 1, 2018, effective date of most provisions of the 2015 HMDA Final Rule, inquiries to collect applicant demographic information using disaggregated ethnic and racial categories are not required by current Regulation C and would not have been allowed under Regulation B 1002.5(a)(2), and therefore creditors would have been prohibited by Regulation B 1002.5(b) from requesting applicants to self-identify using disaggregated ethnic and racial categories before January 1, 2018. Examination Procedures british citizenship by marriage living abroad. By making disaggregated collection an option under Regulation B, entities who will report race and ethnicity information under revised Regulation C will also be in compliance with Regulation B with certainty. The commenter noted that the Bureau Approval Notice applied to all applications taken in 2017 and suggested that the proposed effective date for this rule sends a mixed message. Marital status is also required if the applicant resides in a community property state. Unlike prior versions of the URLA, the 2016 URLA permits an applicant to select disaggregated ethnicity and race categories, as required under revised Regulation C.

Z8m'POn0k6j'T]]>o:gzwzBOLLX6XaXDfB{cQftl9GTFS7_^W/nX6[ Section 1002.5(a)(2) further provides that a creditor may obtain information required by a regulation, order, or agreement issued by, or entered into with, a court or an enforcement agency to monitor or enforce compliance with ECOA, Regulation B, or other Federal or State statutes and regulations. Demographic information collected under Regulation B by those institutions with larger loan volumes may be used in statistical analysis that supports fair lending supervision and enforcement. These changes to Regulation C and the URLA require updates to Regulation B to ensure consistency among regulations and facilitate compliance with Regulation B and Regulation C by financial institutions. The Bureau believes this practice of acknowledging future versions of the URLA via a Bureau Approval Notice rather than a revision to Regulation B will reduce the risk that the model form included in Regulation B will become outdated in the future. If the Bureau were to require creditors to adopt a consistent collection method across applications, the Bureau would also need to issue additional guidance in the official commentary concerning how often and under what circumstances a creditor may change its collection method, among other implementation issues. documents in the last year, by the Food and Drug Administration Prior to Reg B, discriminatory lending practices such as redlining for mortgages was prevalent in the U.S. Regulation B makes such practices illegal. 210.4 Sending items to Reserve Banks.

The Bureau concludes that these differences may create additional burden and complexity for creditors, who may need to modify their practices concerning co-applicant collection depending on whether collection is required under both Regulation B and revised Regulation C or only under revised Regulation C. The Bureau is therefore revising 1002.13(b) to clarify that a creditor is permitted, but is not required, to collect the information set forth in 1002.13(a) from a second or additional co-applicant. An industry service provider asked the Bureau to provide guidance regarding whether the term natural person as used in Regulation B and Regulation C includes living trusts or sole proprietorships. The rule does not add the 2016 URLA to the Regulation B appendix; that form is subject to a separate Federal Register notice issued by the Bureau acknowledging its compliance with certain provisions of Regulation B.[8]. informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Specifically, covered institutions must permit applicants to self-identify their ethnicity and race using certain disaggregated ethnic and racial subcategories such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban under the aggregate category Hispanic or Latino. The final rule amends parts of Regulation B, its commentary, and its appendices, and affects when and how a creditor may collect information regarding the applicant's ethnicity, race, and sex. A credit union trade association commenter also argued that the Bureau should remove the requirement, asserting that removing it would reduce the regulatory burden on its members. Regulation C implements HMDA and sets out specific requirements for the collection, recording, reporting, and disclosure of mortgage lending information, including a requirement to collect and report applicant demographic information. Rules for Taking Applications - 12 CFR 1002.5.

However, if a person buys or builds a new dwelling that will become that person's principal residence within a year or upon completion of construction, the new dwelling is considered the principal residence for purposes of 1002.13. 43. The Bureau also proposed comments 13(a)-7 and 13(a)-8 to provide that a creditor that collects applicant information in compliance with the revised Regulation C appendix will be acting in compliance with 1002.13 concerning the collection of an applicant's ethnicity, race, and sex information and to clarify that a creditor may choose on an application-by-application basis whether to collect aggregate or disaggregated information. Complying with both Regulations B and C would require burdensome and duplicative collection of race and ethnicity data at both the aggregated and disaggregated level. The criteria for being a financial institution and reporting transactions under HMDA are different in some ways from the criteria for reporting under the NMLS Mortgage Call Report and reporting transactions under it.

One industry commenter proposed permitting collection for dwelling-secured loans made primarily for a business or commercial purpose that might be covered loans, regardless of whether or not they are for the purpose of home purchase, refinancing, or home improvement and therefore reportable under revised Regulation C. Under revised Regulation C, dwelling-secured loans made primarily for a business or commercial purpose are only required to be reported if they meet the definition of a home purchase, refinancing, or home improvement loan.

The Bureau proposed to amend comment 13(c)-1 to reference two data collection model forms the Bureau proposed to provide in the Regulation B appendix. In light of the revisions to 1002.13(a)(1)(i), the amendment to the Regulation B appendix to provide two additional model forms, and the fact that the Bureau separately approved use of the 2016 URLA in the Bureau Approval Notice, the Bureau proposed to remove the 2004 URLA as a model form in Regulation B. Commenters noted that being able to collect applicant demographic data when not required by HMDA would facilitate better data collection procedures, aid in retaining system and organizational knowledge, help prepare for reporting data in subsequent years, and help creditors transition to the 2016 URLA.
