Paperwork Reduction Act
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and,
not withstanding any other provision of law, a person is not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this
collection is 3170-0008. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated
to average between 9,000 hours and 161 hours per response depending on the size of the
institution, per response. The obligation to respond to this collection of information is
mandatory per the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act 12 U.S.C. 2801–2810, as implemented by
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003. Comments
regarding this collection of information, including the estimated response time, suggestions for
improving the usefulness of the information, or suggestions for reducing the burden to respond
to this collection should be submitted to the Bureau at the Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection (Attention: PRA Office), 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552, or by email to
[email protected]. The other agencies collecting information under this regulation maintain OMB
Control numbers for their collections as follows: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (15570159), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (3064-0046), the Federal Reserve System
(7100-0247), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (2502-0529), the
National Credit Union Administration (3133-0166).

1. What’s in the FIG?
The 2018 Filing Instructions Guide (FIG) is a compendium of resources to help you file HMDA
data you collected in 2018 with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) in 2019.
These resources are briefly described in this section and are further detailed throughout this
document in individual sections.
The HMDA agencies have agreed that filing HMDA data collected in or after 2017 with the
Bureau will be deemed submission to the appropriate Federal agency. 1
The FIG includes the following sections:

1.1

Changes to the Submission Process for
Data Collected in 2018

This section provides a summary of the changes made to the submission process for filing
HMDA data collected in 2018 with the Bureau.
This section may be useful for employees in a variety of roles, for example, your institution’s:


Compliance Officer



Staff who collect, prepare, and submit HMDA data



HMDA technology support staff

1 The HMDA agencies are the member agencies of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)—the Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Board), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).

1.2

2018 File Specifications

This section provides information including valid values, how to format your loan/application
register, and how to file your HMDA data collected in 2018 with the Bureau.
This section may be useful for employees in a variety of roles, for example, your institution’s:


Staff who collect, prepare, and submit HMDA data



HMDA technology support staff

1.3

2018 Data Specifications

On October 15, 2015, the Bureau issued a final rule (2015 HMDA Final Rule) amending
Regulation C. In August 2017, the Bureau issued a final rule amending the 2015 HMDA Rule
primarily to make technical corrections and clarifying amendments (2017 HMDA Final Rule). In
August 2018, the Bureau issued an interpretive and procedural rule (2018 HMDA Rule) to
implement and clarify the amendments to HMDA made by section 104(a) of the Economic
Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the Act). Beginning with data
collected in 2018, HMDA filers should report the data points described in the 2015 HMDA Final
Rule and the 2017 HMDA Final Rule, as modified by the 2018 HMDA Rule for insured
depository institutions and insured credit unions reporting transactions covered by a partial
exemption.
This section provides instructions for what to enter into each data field in the loan/application
register.
This section may be useful for employees in a variety of roles, for example, your institution’s:



Compliance officer



Staff who collect, prepare, and submit HMDA data

1.4

2018 Edit Specifications

This section lists the edits that financial institutions must run on HMDA data before filing it
with the Bureau.
This section may be useful for employees in a variety of roles, for example, your institution’s:


Staff who collect, prepare, and submit HMDA data

2. Changes to the Submission
Process for Data Collected
in 2018
2.1

Items that have changed:

The reported data fields have changed:
The reported data fields and the valid values for the 2018 data have changed. Please refer to
Regulation C, the 2018 HMDA Rule, and the Data Specification section for the requirements.

The agency to which you file resubmissions of your HMDA data:
A resubmission means that you have already filed your HMDA submission and received a
confirmation receipt, but you are submitting again.
Beginning with data collected in 2017, filers will resubmit their HMDA data by filing with the
Bureau.

2.2

Items that have not changed:

The loan/application register file format for submitting your HMDA data:
Financial institutions will submit data collected in a pipe delimited text file (.txt). Data fields will
be separated by a pipe character, “|”, and will not be fixed length. Do not include leading zeros
for the purpose of making a data field a specific number of characters. Additional information
regarding the loan/application register file format can be found in the “Frequently Asked
Questions” located at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/hmda/for-filers.
Text entries in alphanumeric fields do not need to use all uppercase letters with the exception of:



“NA” used when the reporting requirement is not applicable; and



Two-letter state codes

A loan/application register formatting tool will be provided to help filers format certain data
into a pipe delimited text file. This tool may be especially helpful for filers with small volumes of
reported loans that do not use vendor or other software to prepare their HMDA data for
submission. Information regarding the loan/application register formatting tool will be located
at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/hmda/for-filers.

The way you submit your HMDA data:
Filers will submit their HMDA data using a web interface referred to as the HMDA Platform.
Information regarding the HMDA Platform can be located at:
http://www.consumerfinance.gov/hmda/for-filers.
We recommend that HMDA filers use a modern browser, such as the latest version of Google
Chrome™, Mozilla® Firefox®, Internet Explorer® 11, Microsoft Edge™, or other modern
browsers.
The following submission methods will not be permitted:


PC Diskette and CD-ROM



Submission via Web (from the Data Entry Software (DES))



E-mail to [email protected]



Paper Submissions

The process by which you validate the edit report:
Financial institutions must address all edits prior to submitting their HMDA data. In contrast to
the previous process for filing data with the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), all edits must now be
addressed prior to filing HMDA data with the Bureau in order to complete the submission
process.
The edit report will be web-based:


Edit reports will not be e-mailed to filers in PDF format. Instead, the Bureau edit reports
will be viewed and can be downloaded from the HMDA Platform.



Responses to the edits will not be faxed or e-mailed to the Bureau. The HMDA Platform
will guide filers through the process of addressing edits.

The Officer Certification process:
As part of the submission process, an authorized representative of your institution with
knowledge of the data submitted shall certify to the accuracy and completeness of the data
submitted. Filers will not fax or e-mail the signed certification.

The contact information for HMDA Help:
Technical questions about reporting HMDA data collected in or after 2017 should be directed to
[email protected].
Technical questions about reporting HMDA data collected in or before 2016 should be directed
to [email protected].

Platform can be located at: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/hmda/for-filers.


We recommend that HMDA filers use a modern browser, such as the latest version of
Google Chrome™, Mozilla® Firefox®, Internet Explorer® 11, Microsoft Edge™, or other
modern browsers.

The HMDA Platform will walk you through the loan/application register filing process.
Certification will also occur within the HMDA Platform. An authorized representative of your
institution with knowledge of the data submitted shall certify to the accuracy and
completeness of the data submitted.

3.3

Loan/Application Register format

Beginning with data collected in 2017, your HMDA data loan/application register will be
submitted in a pipe (also referred to as vertical bar) delimited text file format. This means
that:


Each data field within each row will be separated with a pipe character, “|”.



Do not include leading zeros for the purpose of making a data field a specific number of
characters.



The loan/application register will be a text file with a .txt file format extension.

Text entries in alphanumeric fields do not need to use all uppercase letters with the exception of:


“NA” used when the reporting requirement is not applicable; and



Two-letter state codes.

As with previous submissions:


The first row of the loan/application register will begin with the number one (1) to
indicate that the data fields in row one contain information relating to your institution.



All subsequent rows of the loan/application register will begin with the number two (2)
to indicate that the data fields beginning in row two contain data fields for the
loan/application register, with information relating to the reported loan or application.



Each covered loan or application must appear on its own line in the loan/application
register.

3.4

5. 2018 Edit Specifications
5.1

Introduction

HMDA edits are rules to assist filers in checking the accuracy of HMDA data prior to
submission. There are four types of edits:



Syntactical: Edits that check whether the loan/application register is in the correct
format and whether the data covers the correct filing year. A syntactical edit occurs, for
example, if none of the rows in the loan/application register begin with the number two
(2) to indicate that the following data fields contain information relating to the reported
loan or application. The loan/application register cannot be submitted until the filer
corrects all syntactical edit errors and reuploads the updated loan/application register to
the HMDA Platform.



Validity: Edits that check whether there are valid values in each data field. A validity
edit occurs, for example, if the contact person’s telephone number does not follow the
format “999-999-9999.” The loan/application register cannot be submitted until the filer
corrects all validity edit errors and reuploads the updated loan/application register to the
HMDA Platform.



Quality: Edits that check whether entries in the individual data fields or combinations of
data fields conform to expected values. A quality edit occurs, for example, if the reported
Tax Identification Number does not match the Tax Identification Number the institution
reported on the previous year’s loan/application register. The loan/application register
cannot be submitted until the filer either confirms the accuracy of all values flagged by
quality edits in the HMDA Platform or corrects the flagged values and reuploads the
updated loan/application register to the HMDA Platform.



Macro Quality: Edits that check whether the submitted loan/application register as a
whole conforms to expected values. A macro quality edit occurs, for example, if the
reported percentage of multifamily loans exceeds 10% of the loan/application register
entries. The loan/application register cannot be submitted until the filer either confirms

112

the accuracy of all the values flagged by the macro quality edits in the HMDA Platform or
corrects the flagged values and reuploads the updated loan/application register to the
HMDA Platform.
