Specifically, § l.103(a)(3) of the final rule provides that the 180-day implementation period for initial registrations will begin on the date the Agencies provide in a public notice that the Registry is accepting initial registrations. The Agencies jointly announced on January 31st, 2011 that the initial registration period will run from January 31, 2011 through July 29, 2011.3 After this 180-day period expires, any existing employee or newly hired employee of an Agency-regulated institution who is subject to the registration requirements will be prohibited from originating residential mortgage loans without first meeting such requirements. Section 1504 of the S.A.F.E. Act (12 U.S.C. 5103) requires that mortgage loan originators maintain their registration annually. To implement this requirement, section l.103(b)(1)(i) of the final rule requires that a registered mortgage loan originator must renew his or her registration with the Registry during the annual renewal period, November 1 through December 31 of each year. However, § l.103(b)(3) of the final rule provides that a mortgage loan originator is not required to renew his or her registration during this annual renewal period if registration was completed less than six months prior to the end of the renewal period.
