Abstract

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires certain depository institutions and for-profit nondepository institutions to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans, as well as mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (Bureau) Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003, implements HMDA. The purpose of the information collection is: (i) to help determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities; (ii) to assist public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and (iii) to assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing antidiscrimination statutes. The information collection will also assist the Bureau’s examiners, and examiners of other federal supervisory agencies, in determining that the financial institutions they supervise comply with applicable provisions of HMDA.

Abstract

The current package reflects a request for revisions to the 2019 previously approved collection pertaining to the Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC) and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crises Grants program. DFC was created by the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law (P.L. 105-20) and was recently reauthorized again by the SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271). Most recently, P.L. 116-74 (2019), updated language in the law (ONDCP Technical Corrections Act of 2019). The DFC authorizing statute (21 USC §§ 1521–1536) provides that community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use can receive Federal grant funds and that the amount of each DFC grant award shall not exceed $125,000 annually. The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crises Grants program was created by the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (P.L. 114-198) as a follow-on grant program for DFC recipients. ONDCP, the lead agency for setting U.S. drug control policy and strategy, provides funding through the DFC Program to build community capacity for preventing and reducing substance abuse among our nation’s youth. ONDCP directs both the DFC and CARA Programs. Since October 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention & Control (NCIPC) provides Government Project Officers (GPO) and grants management support to the grant award recipients. Both ONDCP and GPO contributed to the current OMB packet. DFC has two primary goals: to prevent and reduce youth substance use and to support community coalitions in building capacity to address youth substance use. These goals are addressed by establishing, strengthening, and fostering collaboration among public and private non-profit agencies, as well as Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. As a follow-on to DFC, the CARA grant recipients have similar goals, although with a narrower focus on prevention/reduction in youth substance use of opioids and methamphetamine. Specifically, CARA goals are to enhance the ability of established (current or former DFC program recipients) community organizations to create community-level change to prevent or reduce use of opioids, methamphetamine, and/or prescription drugs (misuse) among youth ages 12-18 and to change the culture and context regarding the acceptability of youth use and misuse of these substances through implementation of a comprehensive community-wide action plan. Ideally both grant programs empower community coalitions to become self-sufficient. The current request pertains to revisions to the DFC & CARA progress reports while the case study protocols and the DFC Coalition Classification Tool (CCT) are largely unchanged. These changes have been determined necessary to facilitate the monitoring and tracking of grant recipient progress while simultaneously improving the quality of data and keeping grant recipient burden to a minimum.

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Acetal Resin; Acrylic and Modacrylic Fiber; Hydrogen Fluoride and Polycarbonate Production were proposed on October 14, 2998; and promulgated on June 29, 1999; and amended on: November 22, 1999; November 2, 2001; June 7, 2002; July 12, 2002; and October 8, 2014. These regulations apply to new and existing facilities of the following four categories: Polycarbonates (PC) Production, Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers (AMF) Production, Acetal Resins (AR) Production, and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Production. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY.

Abstract

The American Rescue Plan (ARPA) Act of 2021 (Pub.L. 117-2; H.R. 1319, Section 3207) appropriated an additional $39 million of Budget Authority (BA) for Single Family Housing (SFH) Section 502 and 504 Direct Loan Program borrowers. Funds remain available until September 30, 2023. The Agency’s initial objective under the ARP Act is to refinance the existing 23,000 Section 502 direct and Section 504 borrowers who have been granted and received a COVID-19 payment moratorium. Refinancing these loans with a lower interest rate and extended terms will help provide needed relief to borrowers, so that mortgage payments are more affordable post-moratorium.

Abstract

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a rule that revises the FDIC’s requirements for stress testing by FDIC-supervised institutions, consistent with changes made by Section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Specifically, the rule amends the FDIC’s existing stress testing regulations at 12 CFR Part 325 to change the minimum threshold for applicability from $10 billion to $250 billion, revises the frequency of required stress tests by FDIC-supervised institutions, and reduces the number of required stress testing scenarios from three to two. The rule also makes certain conforming and technical changes that were previously included in an April 2019 notice of proposed rulemaking that was superseded, in part, by the enactment of EGRRCPA. On May 17, 2012, the OCC, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB), published guidance on the use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of a banking organization’s potential risk exposures. The guidance provides an overview of how a banking organization should structure its stress testing activities to ensure they fit into the banking organization’s overall risk management program. The purpose of the guidance is to outline broad principles for a satisfactory stress testing framework and describe the manner in which stress testing should be used, that is as an integral component of risk management applicable at various levels of aggregation within a banking organization as well as a tool for capital and liquidity planning. While the guidance is not intended to provide detailed instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular risk or business area, it does include descriptions of several types of stress testing activities and how they may be most appropriately used by banking organizations. The guidance also does not explicitly address the stress testing requirements imposed upon certain companies by section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act).
