DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHA Downpayment Simplification Act of 
2002 (Pub. L. 107-326, approved December 4, 2002) amended the National 
Housing Act by adding a new Section 206A (12 U.S.C. 1712a). Under 
Section 206A, the following are affected:
    (1) Section 207(c)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1713(c)(3)(A));
    (2) Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715e(b)(2)(A));
    (3) Section 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 
1715k(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I));
    (4) Section 221(d)(3)(ii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715l(d)(3)(ii)(I));
    (5) Section 221(d)(4)(ii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715l(d)(4)(ii)(I));
    (6) Section 231(c)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715v(c)(2)(A)); and
    (7) Section 234(e)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715y(e)(3)(A)).
    The dollar amounts in these sections, which are collectively 
referred to as the `Dollar Amounts,' shall be adjusted annually 
(commencing in 2004) on the effective date of the Federal Reserve 
Board's adjustment of the $400 figure in the Home Ownership and Equity 
Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA) (Pub. L. 103-325, approved September 23, 
1994). The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be calculated using 
the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban 
Consumers (CPI-U) as applied by the Federal Reserve Board for purposes 
of the above-described HOEPA adjustment.
    HUD has been notified of the percentage change in the CPI-U used 
for the HOEPA adjustment and the effective date of the HOEPA 
adjustment. The percentage change in the CPI-U is 0.9926 percent 
(1.00-.0074) and the effective date of the HOEPA adjustment is January 
1, 2010. The Dollar Amounts have been adjusted correspondingly and have 
an effective date of January 1, 2010.
    The adjusted Dollar Amounts for calendar year 2010 are shown below:
