ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is issuing this finding of no significant impact and accompanying environmental assessment regarding the CFPB’s consideration of a proposed rule to implement a Congressional mandate to establish consumer protections for residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. Based on the environmental assessment, the CFPB has concluded that there will be no significant effects on the human environment from the proposed PACE rule, and therefore, a finding of no significant impact is appropriate. DATES: The environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact will be available January 10, 2025.

If you require this document in an alternative electronic format, please contact CFPB_ Accessibility@cfpb.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: I. Environmental Assessment Description of the Proposed Action On May 11, 2023, the CFPB published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to implement a Congressional mandate to establish consumer protections for residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. PACE loans, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:28 Jan 08, 2025 Jkt 265001 which cover the costs of home improvements and result in a tax assessment on the consumer’s real property, are often promoted as a way to finance clean energy improvements such as solar panels. The CFPB proposed to require lenders to assess a borrower’s ability to repay a PACE loan and to provide a framework for how these loans will be treated under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Section 307 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA) directs the CFPB to prescribe ability-to-repay rules for PACE financing and to apply the civil liability provisions of TILA for violations.1 The proposed rule would implement EGRRCPA section 307 and amend Regulation Z to address the application of TILA to ‘‘PACE transactions’’ as defined in proposed § 1026.43(b)(15). This environmental assessment constitutes the CFPB’s review of potential environmental impacts from issuing the proposed PACE rule.2 Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action The purpose and need for the proposed rule is to fulfill the Congressional mandate in the EGRRCPA to establish certain consumer protections for residential PACE loans. The proposed rule’s purpose and need are further described in the preamble of the proposed rule.3 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action None of the requirements of the CFPB’s proposed rule would have direct effects on the human environment. However, the CFPB expects that fewer PACE loans would be originated as a consequence of the proposed rule. This may occur, for example, because the proposed rule would require a determination that consumers have the ability to repay the PACE loan, and so consumers who do not have an ability to repay may not qualify for PACE loans, or because the home improvement contractors who currently market PACE loans would not collect the information necessary for creditors to make ability-to-repay determinations in accordance with the proposal.4 To the extent that the projects currently funded by PACE would not 1 15 U.S.C. 1639c(b)(3)(C), Public Law 115–174 (2018). 2 The final PACE rule, published in the same Federal Register edition, implements the proposal with small changes that do not affect the environmental analysis. 3 See 88 FR 30388 (May 11, 2023). 4 For a discussion of the potential impacts of the proposed rule, see 88 FR 30388 at 30417–28. PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 occur without PACE financing being available, and to the extent those projects would provide environmental benefits, the CFPB’s proposed rule would reduce those environmental benefits. The CFPB considered the impacts of its proposed rule relative to the alternative of no action.5 PACE loans are authorized by State laws only for certain types of home improvement projects, which include solar panels, energy efficiency improvements, water efficiency improvements, HVAC improvements, and disaster resiliency improvements. Such projects might improve the environment by reducing water or electricity consumption and avoiding harmful emissions by generating electricity through renewable, nonpolluting sources, although it is unknown whether these projects in fact provide these environmental benefits.6 Public comments from a PACE industry trade association expressed concerns that the proposed rule would have a significant adverse impact on the environment by reducing the environmental benefits associated with PACE financing, including benefits related to the reduction of water and energy consumption. Specifically, the commenter stated that all PACE projects to date (covering roughly 2010–2022) have created a total of 537MW of solar capacity, and over the lifetimes of the projects will reduce water consumption by 21 million gallons, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 9.5 million metric tons, and reduce electricity consumption by 338 million kWh.7 The comment, as well as the referenced article and white paper, do not describe the methodology for estimating environmental benefits, and the CFPB believes the statistic on solar generation of 537 MW in particular is inconsistent with other data and significantly overstates the impact on energy and water consumption that could result from the proposed rule. 5 The rulemaking on PACE financing is required under 15 U.S.C. 1639c(b)(3)(C). For purposes of this analysis, the CFPB analyzed a ‘‘no action’’ alternative to provide a benchmark for environmental effects. 6 Other commenters on the proposed rule raised that potential energy savings estimates from PACE programs ‘‘are speculative and may not materialize.’’ Comments to The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Regarding Proposed Rule for Residential Property Assessed Clean Energy Financing (Regulation Z), RIN National Consumer Law Center & National Housing Law Project, July 26, 2023, https://www.regulations.gov/comment/ CFPB-2023-0029-0101. 7 See Comments on Residential Property Assessed Clean Energy Financing, RIN 3170–AA84, PACENation, July 26, 2023, https:// www.regulations.gov/comment/CFPB-2023-00290115.
