In response to the recent mortgage
crisis, Congress amended the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to require
creditors originating mortgages with an annual percentage rate that
exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage
(higher-risk mortgage loans) to obtain an appraisal or appraisals
meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a
notification regarding the use of appraisals, and give applicants a
copy of written appraisals used. These changes were enacted as part
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act), Pub. L. 111-203, § 1471, 124 Stat. 1376, 2185
(2010). Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act adds a new section to
TILA, section 129H, addressing appraisal requirements for
higher-risk mortgage loans.
The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (Bureau) is dividing certain proposals to amend
the Bureau's Regulations X and Z into separate Information
Collection Requests (ICRs) in the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) system (accessible at omb.report) to ease the public's
ability to view and understand the individual proposals. Subsequent
to the finalization of the rules, CFPB anticipates that it will
recombine the portions of Regulations Z and X that are broken out
in the reginfo.gov system into the existing control numbers for
Regulations X and Z. CFPB respondents should continue to use the
3170-0015 control number for Regulation Z and 3170-0016 control
number for Regulation X throughout this time.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
