The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the Bureau) is proposing to amend Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA) and the official interpretation of the regulation. The proposed amendments implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing. Specifically, this proposal requests comment regarding proposed additions to Regulation X to address seven servicer obligations: To correct errors asserted by mortgage loan borrowers; to provide information requested by mortgage loan borrowers; to ensure that a reasonable basis exists to obtain force-placed insurance; to establish reasonable information management policies and procedures; to provide information about mortgage loss mitigation options to delinquent borrowers; to provide delinquent borrowers access to servicer personnel with continuity of contact about the borrower's mortgage loan account; and to evaluate borrowers' applications for available loss mitigation options. This proposal would also modify and streamline certain existing servicing-related provisions of Regulation X. For instance, the proposal would revise provisions relating to a mortgage servicer's obligation to provide disclosures to borrowers in connection with a transfer of mortgage servicing, and a mortgage servicer's obligation to manage escrow accounts, including the obligation to advance funds to an escrow account to maintain insurance coverage and to return amounts in an escrow account to a borrower upon payment in full of a mortgage loan.

The Bureau is making adjustments to the Servicing Transfer Statement, which is an existing information collection under Regulation X. the Bureau is revising Regulation X to add a number of mortgage servicing requirements provided for in the Dodd-Frank Act's amendments to RESPA, as well as other requirements the Bureau is adopting pursuant to its authority under RESPA and the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1463 of the Dodd-Frank Act creates statutory mandates under new subsections (k), (l) and (m) of RESPA section 6. Section 1463 of the Dodd-Frank Act also amends certain consumer protection provisions set forth in section 6(e) through (g) of RESPA. The information collections for the Bureau's proposed requirements for force-placed insurance, error resolution, information requests, early intervention, and loss mitigation procedures would be new requirements under the Bureau's proposal.
