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

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.

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that are denied or withdrawn).1 The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

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.
