Need for and Use of the Information Collection FHFA’s Monthly Survey of Rates and Terms on Conventional 1-Family NonFarm Mortgage Loans, commonly referred to as the ‘‘Monthly Interest Rate Survey’’ or ‘‘MIRS,’’ is a monthly survey of mortgage lenders that solicits information on the terms and conditions on all conventional, single-family, fully amortized, purchase-money mortgage loans closed during the last five working days of the preceding month. The MIRS collects monthly information on interest rates, loan terms, and house prices by property type (i.e., new or previously occupied), by loan type (i.e., fixed- or adjustable-rate), and by lender type (i.e., mortgage companies, savings associations, commercial banks, and savings banks), as well as information on 15-year and 30-year fixed-rate loans. In addition, the survey collects quarterly information on conventional loans by major metropolitan area and by Federal Home Loan Bank district. The MIRS does not collect information on loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (VA), loans secured by multifamily property or manufactured housing, or loans created by refinancing another mortgage. The MIRS is the most comprehensive source of information on conventional mortgage rates and terms in the United States. The MIRS originated with one of FHFA’s predecessor agencies, the former Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) in the 1960s. Among other things, the FHLBB used data collected through the MIRS to derive its National Average Contract Mortgage Rate for the Purchase of Previously Occupied Homes by Combined Lenders (ARM Index), which was used by lenders to set mortgage rates on adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). No statutory or regulatory provision explicitly required the FHLBB to conduct the MIRS. However, for a period in the early 1980s, federally chartered savings institutions were required to use the MIRS-derived ARM Index in setting interest rates on ARMs. Few, if any, loans from that period remain. After 1981, an unknown but likely very small proportion of lenders used the ARM Index to set interest rates on their new ARMs. In 1989, Congress enacted the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), which abolished the FHLBB and created the Federal Housing Finance Board to assume many of the FHLBB’s powers and responsibilities.
