The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
(HMDA) requires certain depository institutions and for-profit
nondepository institutions to collect, report, and disclose data
about originations and purchases of mortgage loans, as well as
mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for
example, applications that are denied or withdrawn). The Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau’s (Bureau) Regulation C, 12 CFR part
1003, implements HMDA. The purpose of the information collection
is: (i) to help determine whether financial institutions are
serving the housing needs of their communities; (ii) to assist
public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to
attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and (iii)
to assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns
and enforcing antidiscrimination statutes. The information
collection will also assist the Bureau’s examiners, and examiners
of other federal supervisory agencies, in determining that the
financial institutions they supervise comply with applicable
provisions of HMDA.

USC 2801 Name of Law: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
While the Proposal would
implement burden reductions associated with this rule, the previous
burden inventory for this rule did not capture certain burden
increases from revisions to Regulation C caused by the October 2015
Rule in as much as many of those provisions had effective dates in
2018 or beyond. The increases in reporting burden created by the
October 2015 Rule, as well as burden reductions that would be
caused by the Proposal, are captured here. In addition, the Bureau
has also aggregated, for the purposes of these estimates, the
reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements for this rule
into a single annual response for reporters.
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;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
