Abstract: The Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., was enacted to foster comparison credit shopping and informed credit decision making by requiring accurate disclosure of the costs and terms of credit to consumers. The Dodd-Frank Act then amended TILA to include, among other things, provisions about the qualifications and compensation of mortgage loan officers, in order to ensure consumers are getting a fair deal on their loans. Federal and State enforcement agencies and private litigants use records retained under the requirements of Regulation Z to ascertain whether the requirements under TILA and Regulation Z have been met. The information retained provides the primary evidence of legal violations in TILA enforcement actions brought by Federal agencies.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The CFPB has decreased its estimate of total respondents by 3,027, increased its estimate of annual responses by 15,015, and its estimate of cost burden by $25,344 annually as a result of changes in the size of the covered market and new estimation techniques. The decrease of 19,718 annual burden hours is partially affected by the new estimations, but is also due to the exclusion of one time burden that was counted under the initial rulemaking, but is no longer incurred by existing entities.
