General Description of Collection: Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank
Act established a new Truth in Lending section 129H, which contains
appraisal requirements applicable to higher-risk mortgages and
prohibits a creditor from extending credit in the form of a higher-risk
mortgage loan to any consumer without meeting those requirements. A
higher-risk mortgage is defined as a residential mortgage loan secured
by a principal dwelling with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the
average prime offer rate for a comparable transaction as of the date
the interest rate is set by certain enumerated percentage point
spreads.
To implement this statutory requirement, a final rule was
promulgated to amend 12 CFR part 1026, Regulation Z by the Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve, the FDIC, the Federal Housing Finance Authority, the National
Credit Union Association, and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
In particular, the rule requires that, within three days of
application, a creditor provide a disclosure that informs consumers
regarding the purpose of the appraisal, that the creditor will provide
the consumer a copy of any appraisal, and that the consumer may choose
to have a separate appraisal conducted at the expense of the consumer.
If a loan meets the definition of a higher-risk mortgage loan, then the
creditor would be required to obtain a written appraisal prepared by a
certified or licensed
[[Page 33944]]
appraiser who conducts a physical visit of the interior of the property
that will secure the transaction, and send a copy of the written
appraisal to the consumer. To qualify for the safe harbor provided
under the rule, a creditor is required to review the written appraisal
as specified in the text of the rule and appendix A. If a loan is
classified as a higher-risk mortgage loan that will finance the
acquisition of the property to be mortgaged, and the property was
acquired within the previous 180 days by the seller at a price that was
lower than the current sale price, then the creditor is required to
obtain an additional appraisal. A creditor is required to provide the
consumer a copy of the appraisal reports performed in connection with
the loan, without charge, at least days prior to consummation of the
loan.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection.
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic
fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased
while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained
the same.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions,
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All
comments will become a matter of public record.
Dated at Washington, DC, on July 11, 2019.

Executive Secretary.
