Pursuant to the previous terms of clearance, with publication of the final rule associated with this collection, the previous agreement between HUD and CFPB to permit regulated industries to use either the HUD control number (2502-0265) associated with this information collection, or the CFPB control number, is no longer applicable. Regulated entities now should only use this CFPB OMB control number for the information collections instruments previously associated with the HUD (2502-0265) forms. CFPB should work with HUD to ensure that HUD's related collection is discontinued.

Certain disclosures are required by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) of 1974, as amended by Section 461 of the Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 1983 (HURRA), and other various amendments. The statute is found at 12 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. The implementing regulations have been published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at 24 CFR 3500. In light of the transfer of HUD's rulemaking authority for RESPA to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB), the CFPB is adopting an interim final rule (Interim Final Rule) recodifying HUD's Regulation X at 12 CFR 1024 to reflect the transfer of authority and to help facilitate compliance with RESPA and its implementing regulations to help prevent confusion regarding regulatory and supervisory authority. Required disclosures include: the Good Faith Estimate (GFE), the Special Information Booklet, the HUD-1/HUD-1A Settlement Statements, the Servicing Disclosure Statement, and, as applicable, the Servicing Transfer Disclosure. Other disclosures may be required under certain circumstances and include: the Initial Escrow Account Statement, the Annual Escrow Account Statement, the Affiliated Business Disclosure, and the Consumer Disclosure for Voluntary Escrow Account Payments. This collection helps to protect consumers in several respects. The Special Information Booklet helps to protect consumers from unnecessarily high settlement costs by providing information about the nature and cost of real estate settlement services. The GFE and HUD-1/HUD-1A Settlement Statements enable consumers to compare estimated settlement costs with actual settlement costs. The Affiliated Business Disclosure helps to protect borrowers from unncessarily high settlement service charges due to the settlement service provider's use of an affiliated provider. Disclosures related to the servicing of the mortgage loan help to protect consumers if the servicing of the loan could be or is transferred.Disclosures related to consumers' escrow accounts help to protect them from unneccessarily high escrow charges.
