Vore, Originations Analyst, Office of
Mortgage Markets; David Friend,
Counsel, Office of Regulations, CFPB_

7700.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Bureau is hereby publishing this notice
of availability to inform the public of
the existence of an updated version of
the Home Buying Information Booklet.
Background on the Booklet
In its enactment in 1974, section 5 of
RESPA required the provision of
‘‘special information booklets’’ to help
persons borrowing money to finance the
purchase of residential real estate to
understand better the nature and costs
of real estate settlement services. Public
Law 93–553. Since 1976, the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) implemented the
requirement through publication of the
Booklet titled ‘‘Shopping for Your Home
Loan: Settlement Cost Booklet.’’
Section 1450 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (Dodd-Frank Act), Public Law 111–
203, amended section 5 of RESPA by,
among other things, transferring
responsibility for the Booklet from HUD
to the Bureau. 12 U.S.C. 2604, as
amended by the Dodd-Frank Act,
requires the Director of the Bureau to
prepare, at least once every five years,
‘‘a booklet to help consumers applying
for federally related mortgage loans to
understand the nature and costs of real
estate settlement services.’’ 12 U.S.C.
2604(a). Section 1450 of the Dodd-Frank
Act also amended 12 U.S.C. 2604 by
adding new content requirements,
including information on
homeownership counseling services, an
explanation of a consumer’s
responsibilities, liabilities and
obligations in a mortgage transaction,
and a list of questions a consumer
obtaining a federally related mortgage
PO 00000
Frm 00029

Sfmt 4703
loan should ask regarding the loan,
including whether the consumer will
have the ability to repay the loan,
whether the consumer sufficiently
shopped for the loan, whether the loan
terms include prepayment penalties or
balloon payments, and whether the loan
will benefit the borrower. Other statutes,
discussed below, have also amended 12
U.S.C. 2604 to include additional
information on flood insurance.
In November 2013, the Bureau issued
a final rule that amended section 1024.5
to provide creditors with an exemption
from certain RESPA requirements,
including the requirements of section
1024.6, for loans subject to the TILA–
RESPA integrated disclosure
requirements. The rule also added
section 1026.19(g), which is
substantially similar to the requirements
of 1024.6, but modified to conform to
the usage associated with TILA.
To reflect the transfer of the Booklet
to the Bureau and ensure consistency
with the Bureau’s rulemakings
regulating practices in mortgage
origination and servicing that took effect
in January 2014, the CFPB made
technical and conforming changes to the
Booklet and made the revised Booklet
available in January 2014. 79 FR 1836
(Jan. 10, 2014).
Contents of the Updated Version of the
Booklet
The Bureau is updating the Booklet to
incorporate: (1) statutory amendments
made to 12 U.S.C. 2604 by the DoddFrank Act, the Moving Ahead for
Progress in 21st Century Act, Public
Law 112–141, and the Homeowner
Flood Insurance Affordability Act of
2014, Public Law 113–89; (2) the
Bureau’s Integrated Disclosures final
rule effective on August 1, 2015; and (3)
additional Bureau contact information,
online tools, and information on how to
submit complaints. Every effort was
made to incorporate all statutory
amendments; however, a Dodd-Frank
Act amendment to 12 U.S.C. 2604 to
provide notice of a loan fraud brochure
and the web address and telephone
number for obtaining the brochure
could not be incorporated, as the
brochure is no longer supported by the
issuing agency. Instead, the Bureau has
provided a link in the Booklet to a HUD
Web page on loan fraud.
The Bureau views this publication as
part of the Bureau’s broader mission to
educate consumers about consumer
financial products. The Booklet has also
been revised to, among other things,
improve the readability and usability of
the booklet and link to the Bureau’s
Web site, regarding tools and resources
that consumers can use to make better-
