The respondents are developers (or attorneys or others who work for them). Developers must submit an initial Statement of Record (registration) to the CFPB and receive an effective date before they can offer lots for sale or lease. The Statement of Record includes the proposed property report and additional information and documents that support the developer's disclosures in the property report. The developer is responsible for ensuring that the registration is accurate and does not omit information needed for a purchaser to make an informed decision. Developers must give purchasers an effective property report before the purchaser signs the sales contract. Developers must submit amendments to their registrations if any information in their initial registration changes. They must also submit a consolidated filing if they offer additional lots for sale. Each year the developer must submit an annual financial statement and an annual report that is prepared in the format required by Section 1010.310 of the regulations. A developer may voluntarily suspend his registration by submitting a Voluntary Suspension form or through the Annual Report. There are no other forms. The CFPB conducts a facial review of the submissions. The developer may request an Advisory Opinion if a developer has questions about the applicability of one of the exemptions from registration. A CFPB determination is required only if a developer claims an exemption from registration under the multiple site or substantial compliance exemption. The other 24 exemptions are self determining. Finally, the CFPB may require additional information from developers in response to investigations of complaints.
The Voluntary Suspension form is voluntary and is a convenient way for developers to voluntarily suspend their registration. The form is not required and is not the only way that developers may close their registration. They may also end their registration through their annual report.

The Bureau has revised the burden listed for the "Voluntary Suspension Form" because it was recorded originally as too high. The Bureau has analyzed the burden associated with this form and would like to provide the public with the most accurate burden information available. Also, the Voluntary Suspension Form is currently listed in both 3170-0017 and 3170-0012. The Bureau intends to discontinue 3170-0017.
