Highlights:
- The 2018 Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA) amended HMDA and established partial exemptions from reporting certain data points for eligible institutions. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued an interpretive and procedural rule to implement the amendments (2018 HMDA rule).
- The FFIEC’s A Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting It Right! summarizes key HMDA provisions and can serve as a useful compliance resource for supervised financial institutions. The FFIEC is issuing the 2019 version of Getting It Right. This version applies to 2019 HMDA data reported in 2020 and includes a summary of the EGRRCPA amendments to HMDA and the 2018 HMDA rule.
- The FDIC and other member agencies of the FFIEC are making updated interagency HMDA examination procedures available to the public. The updates address the EGRRCPA amendments to HMDA, the 2018 HMDA rule, and amendments to Regulation C made by CFPB final rules issued in 2015 and 2017.
- FDIC examiners will use the updated interagency HMDA examination procedures in connection with reviews of HMDA data collected in 2018 and after.
- The updated interagency HMDA examination procedures will be incorporated into the FDIC’s Compliance Examination Manual (CEM). To be notified of CEM updates, register on the FDIC’s Email Updates webpage at https://service.govdelivery.com/accounts/USFDIC/subscriber/new.
