Federal Reserve System December 28, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Board is publishing a final rule amending the staff commentary that interprets the requirements of Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure) to reflect no change in the asset-size exemption threshold for depository institutions based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPIW). The exemption threshold remains $39 million. The CPIW decreased by 0.98 percent during the twelve-month period ending in November 2009, but this change is too small to warrant any reduction in the exemption threshold pursuant to Regulation C. Therefore, depository institutions with assets of $39 million or less as of December 31, 2009 are exempt from collecting data in 2010.
