570.  REGULATION Z--TRUTH IN LENDING ACT (DOCKET 
NUMBER: R-1366)

Legal Authority: 15 USC 1601 et seq

Abstract: The Federal Reserve proposed for comment amendments to 
Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) that would revise disclosure 
requirements for closed-end loans secured by real property or a 
dwelling. The proposed rules would require creditors to provide certain 
disclosures at application about risky loan features and adjustable-
rate mortgages. Three days after application, consumers would receive 
disclosures summarizing key loan features including the annual 
percentage rate and finance charge, which would be revised to be a more 
comprehensive measure of the cost of credit. Consumers would receive a 
final disclosure of loan terms three days before loan consummation. 
Certain new periodic disclosures would be required after consummation. 
In addition, the proposal would prohibit certain payments to mortgage 
brokers and loan officers that are based on the loan's terms and 
conditions, and prohibit steering consumers to transactions that are 
not in their interest to increase compensation received. New rules 
regarding eligibility restrictions and disclosures for credit insurance 
and similar products would apply to all closed-end and open-end credit 
transactions.
