ACTION: Technical amendment. AGENCY: In April 2020, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau or CFPB) issued a final rule (2020 HMDA Rule) to amend Regulation C to increase the threshold for reporting data about closed-end mortgage loans. The 2020 HMDA Rule increased the closed-end mortgage loan reporting threshold from lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:59 Dec 20, 2022 Jkt 259001 25 loans to 100 loans in each of the two preceding calendar years, effective July 1, 2020. On September 23, 2022, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the 2020 HMDA Rule as to the increased loanvolume reporting threshold for closedend mortgage loans. As a result of the September 23, 2022 order, the threshold for reporting data about closed-end mortgage loans is 25, the threshold established by the 2015 HMDA Rule. Accordingly, this technical amendment updates the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the closed-end mortgage loan reporting threshold of 25 mortgage loans in each of the two preceding calendar years. DATES: This technical amendment is effective December 21, 2022.

If you require this document in an alternative electronic format, please contact CFPB_ Accessibility@cfpb.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires certain banks, savings associations, credit unions, and forprofit nondepository institutions to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans, as well as mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn).1 The Bureau’s Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003, implements HMDA, 12 U.S.C. 2801 through 2810. In October 2015, the Bureau issued a final rule (2015 HMDA Rule) that, among other things, established institutional and transactional loanvolume coverage thresholds in Regulation C that determine whether financial institutions are required to report certain HMDA data on closed-end mortgage loans or open-end lines of credit.2 These thresholds apply 1 HMDA requires financial institutions to collect, record, and report data. The Bureau generally refers herein to the obligation to report data instead of listing all of these obligations in each instance. 2 Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C), 80 FR 66128 (Oct. 28, 2015). The reporting thresholds for closed-end mortgage loans and open-end lines of credit operate independently. Thus, an institution that meets the threshold for closed-end mortgage loans but not the threshold for open-end lines of credit is a covered institution and required to report HMDA data about its closed-end loans, provided it meets the other criteria for institutional coverage. Conversely, an institution that meets the threshold for open-end lines of credit but not the threshold for closed-end loans is a covered institution and PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 uniformly to covered depository and nondepository institutions; they took effect for depository institutions on January 1, 2017, and for nondepository institutions on January 1, 2018. The loan-volume thresholds in the 2015 HMDA Rule required an institution that originated at least 25 closed-end mortgage loans or at least 100 open-end lines of credit in each of the two preceding calendar years to report HMDA data, provided that the institution meets all other criteria for institutional coverage. In April 2020, the Bureau issued a final rule (2020 HMDA Rule) to amend Regulation C to increase the thresholds for reporting data about both closed-end mortgage loans and open-end lines of credit.3 In particular, the 2020 HMDA Rule set the closed-end mortgage loan reporting threshold at 100 in each of the two preceding calendar years, effective July 1, 2020, and the open-end line of credit reporting threshold at 200 in each of the two preceding calendar years, effective January 1, 2022. On July 30, 2020, five nonprofit organizations and the City of Toledo, Ohio, initiated a lawsuit challenging the 2020 HMDA Rule.4 On September 23, 2022, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia concluded that the 2020 HMDA Rule’s increased reporting threshold for closed-end mortgage loans was arbitrary and capricious. The Court issued an order vacating and remanding the loanvolume reporting threshold for closedend mortgage loans under the 2020 HMDA Rule. Accordingly, the threshold for reporting data about closed-end mortgage loans is 25 in each of the two preceding calendar years, which is the threshold set by the 2015 HMDA Rule. This technical amendment reflects the vacatur in the Code of Federal Regulations by replacing the closed-end reporting threshold numbers in §§ 1003.2(g)(1)(v)(A) and (2)(ii)(A), and 1003.3(c)(11), and comments 2(g)–5 and 3(c)(11)–2 with those in effect on June 30, 2020; and replacing in their entirety, comments 2(g)–1 and 3(c)(11)–1 with the versions in effect on June 30, 2020. required to report HMDA data about its open-end lines of credit, provided it meets the other criteria for institutional coverage. 3 Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C), 85 FR 28364 (May 12, 2020), vacated in part by Nat’l Cmty.
