Abstract: 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.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The significant decrease in annual responses, burden hours, and cost burden is largely due to the elimination of one-time burden associated with legal review of the requirements of the final rule. This burden has been reduced to zero now that the final rule has been in effect for three years. The Bureau has also made use of newly available data which enables the Bureau to better estimate the percentage of loans which are exempt from the HPML appraisals requirements due to their Government Sponsored Entity conforming characteristics. This has led to a reduction in both the number of loans for which the appraisals requirements apply and the number of respondents making those loans.
