ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; request for public comment. AGENCY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is proposing to repeal its Regulation C, which was issued to implement the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws, including HMDA, from the Board to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau). In December 2011, the Bureau published an interim final rule establishing its own Regulation C to implement HMDA, which substantially duplicated the Board’s Regulation C. In October 2015, the Bureau finalized the interim final rule and expanded and revised its Regulation C, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. HMDA requires covered financial institutions to collect and report loan data in connection with residential mortgage applications and loans. Although the Board retains authority to issue some consumer financial protection rules, all rulemaking authority under HMDA concerning mortgage loan transactions was transferred to the Bureau. Accordingly, the Board is proposing to repeal its Regulation C and the Official Staff Commentary that accompanies the regulation.

Background The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), 12 U.S.C. 2801 et seq., historically was implemented by the Board’s Regulation C, published at 12 CFR part 203. The purpose of the act and regulation is to provide the public with sufficient information about mortgage loans to determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of their communities; encourage private investments to areas in need; and collect and report applicant and borrower characteristic data to identify potential lending discrimination. Accordingly, HMDA requires covered financial institutions to report loan data in connection with mortgage loan applications. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 8667 Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from the Board to the Bureau, effective July 21, 2011, with some exceptions. In connection with the transfer of the Board’s rulemaking authority for HMDA, the Bureau published an interim final rule to establish its own Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003, to implement HMDA (Bureau Interim Final Rule).1 In October 2015, the Bureau finalized its own Regulation C, including rules that expand and revise the data collection and reporting regime required under HMDA, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act.2 Under Section 1029(a) of the DoddFrank Act, the Board generally retains authority to issue rules for certain motor vehicle dealers that are predominantly engaged in the sale and servicing of motor vehicles, the leasing and servicing of motor vehicles, or both. For purposes of Section 1029, a ‘‘motor vehicle’’ is defined to include, among other things, motor homes, recreational vehicle trailers (RVs) and recreational boats.3 The Dodd-Frank Act also provided several exceptions to the Board’s rulemaking authority over motor vehicle dealers. Specifically, Section 1029(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act provides that the Board’s rulemaking authority does not apply to any motor vehicle dealer to the extent that the motor vehicle dealer ‘‘provides consumers with any services related to residential or commercial mortgages or self-financing transactions involving real property.’’ 4 Accordingly, all rulemaking authority under HMDA concerning mortgage loan transactions was transferred to the Bureau. II. Discussion HMDA and Regulation C apply to covered financial institutions. For this purpose, financial institutions include depository institutions, such as a bank, savings institution, or credit union that meet certain coverage tests. Financial institutions also include nondepository, mortgage lending institutions that have an office in a metropolitan statistical area and meet certain asset and home lending thresholds. See 12 U.S.C. 2802; 12 CFR 203.2 and 12 CFR 1003.2. Entities that are subject to HMDA must collect and report loan data to the appropriate federal agency on its housing-related 1 76 FR 78465 (Dec. 19, 2011).
