Title: Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C), 12 CFR 1003. Abstract: HMDA was enacted in 1975 and requires most mortgage lenders lending in metropolitan areas to collect data about their housing-related lending activity. Historically, HMDA has been implemented by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (FRB) Regulation C, 12 CFR part 203. Congress has periodically modified the law, and FRB has routinely updated Regulation C. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 transferred FRB’s rulemaking authority for HMDA to CFPB. Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003, requires financial institutions that meet certain thresholds to report data annually about: Each application or loan, including the application date; the action taken and the date of that action; the loan amount; the loan type (for example, government guaranteed or not) and purpose (for example, home purchase); and, if the loan is sold, the type of purchaser; Each applicant or borrower, including ethnicity, race, sex, VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:29 Jan 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 and income; and Each property, including location and occupancy status. A covered lender generally must update information quarterly—all reportable transaction must be recorded within 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar quarter in which final action is taken on a loan application register (LAR)—and must submit the completed LAR annually to the appropriate Federal agency by March 1 of the year following the year covered by the LAR. Institutions that submit incorrect information may be required to correct and resubmit the information. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) then prepares a disclosure statement from data submitted by the financial institutions, and provides the disclosure statement to the financial institution. Within three business days of receiving its statement, the financial institution must make a copy available at its home office. In addition, within ten business days of receiving its disclosure statement, the financial institution must either: (1) Make the disclosure statement available in at least one branch office in every Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and Metropolitan Division (Division) where it has an office or (2) post a notice in at least one branch office per MSA and Division where it has an office stating that the disclosure statement is available upon written request. A covered lender must make each public disclosure statement available to the public for five years. Each financial institution must retain its completed LAR for three years and during that period it must make its LAR available to the public after redacting certain information to protect the privacy of its applicants and borrowers. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,967. Estimated Number of Loan Applications/Responses: 894,500. Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 5 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 74,542. The number of federally insured credit union respondents filing HMDA LAR and the total number of reportable HMDA loans have been adjusted to reflect the numbers obtained for calendar years 2012 and 2013.

    Estimated residual value is the projected future value of leased 
property at lease end. The accuracy of the estimated residual values 
used in a lease program is a fundamental element in the success or 
failure of a lease program. The higher the estimated residual values 
used by a federal credit union, the greater the potential for loss. To 
mitigate this risk, the leasing rule requires that if the amount of the 
estimated residual value relied on by the federal credit union to 
satisfy the full payout lease requirement exceeds 25 percent of the 
original cost of the leased property, the credit union must obtain a 
guarantee of the excess from a financially capable party.
    If the guarantor cannot meet its guarantee, a federal credit union 
may suffer serious financial loss. Accordingly, it is important that a 
federal credit union documents that a guarantor has the financial 
resources and capability to meet the guarantee. If the guarantor is an
