Foreword

A Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting It Right! will assist you in complying with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) as implemented by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Regulation C, 12 CFR Part 1003 (Regulation C). The purpose of this Guide is to provide an easy-to-use summary of certain key requirements. This Guide does not provide detailed information about the HMDA submission process, or file, data, and edit specifications. Information about those topics may be found in the FFIEC's resources for HMDA filers, available at ffiec. and hmda/.

The Foreword and Summary of Requirements sections of the Guide were developed by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) -- the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the State Liaison Committee (SLC) -- and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The appendices include, in addition to Regulation C and its Official Interpretations, certain HMDA compliance materials developed and issued exclusively by the CFPB and not by the FFIEC or its other member agencies. Financial institutions may wish to consult and rely upon additional compliance resources that their Federal supervisory agencies may offer. Contact information for each agency is available in Appendix J.

This edition of the Guide incorporates the amendments made to HMDA by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act)1 and the

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (The 2018 Act).2 The Dodd-Frank Act amended HMDA, transferred rulewriting authority to the CFPB and expanded the scope of information that must be collected, reported, and disclosed under HMDA, among other changes. In October 2015, the CFPB issued the 2015 HMDA Rule implementing the Dodd-Frank Act amendments to Regulation C.3 On August 24, 2017, the CFPB issued a 2017 HMDA Rule to further amend Regulation C to make technical corrections and clarify and amend certain requirements adopted by the 2015 HMDA Rule.4 The 2018 Act amended HMDA by adding partial exemptions from HMDA's requirements for certain transactions made by certain insured depository institutions and insured credit unions. On August 31, 2018, the CFPB issued a 2018 HMDA Rule to implement and clarify changes made by the 2018 Act.5

The 2015 HMDA Rule modified the types of institutions and transactions subject to Regulation C, the types of data that institutions are required to collect, and the processes for reporting and disclosing the required data.6

Further, Section 2 of the HMDA Small Entity Compliance Guide, available in Appendix B of this Guide, also provides an overview of these changes.

The Summary of Requirements reviews HMDA's purposes and data collection, reporting, and disclosure requirements. It provides a high level summary of:

The institutions covered by Regulation C. The transactions covered by Regulation C. The information that covered institutions are required to collect, record, and

report. The requirements for reporting and disclosing data.

This Guide is not a substitute for HMDA or Regulation C. Regulation C and its official interpretations (also known as the commentary) are the definitive sources of information regarding their requirements. Regulation C and its commentary are available in Appendix H and I of this Guide and at policy-compliance/rulemaking/regulations/1003/.

Additionally, this Guide is not a substitute for the requirements for filing the reportable data. The Filing Instructions Guide (FIG) is the definitive source for information regarding the filing requirements and is available at ffiec..7

7 The Federal HMDA reporting agencies (the Board, CFPB, HUD, FDIC, NCUA, and OCC), referred to as the "appropriate Federal agency" in Regulation C, agreed that, beginning on January 1, 2018, all HMDA filers will file their HMDA data with the CFPB. The CFPB will process the HMDA data for the Federal HMDA reporting agencies and the FFIEC, and prepare and make available data products to the general public on behalf of the Federal HMDA reporting agencies and the FFIEC. For HMDA data reporting beginning in 2018, a web-based data submission and edit-check system (the HMDA Platform) will be available to process HMDA data. For a financial institution to submit its file, it must be in pipe delimited format. For more information on the format and how to submit the file, review the Filing Instructions Guide.

Institutional Coverage: Who Must Report?

INSTITUTIONAL COVERAGE GENERALLY An institution is required to comply with Regulation C only if it is a "financial institution" as that term is defined in Regulation C. The definition of financial institution includes both depository financial institutions and nondepository financial institutions, as those terms are separately defined in Regulation C. 12 CFR 1003.2(g).

Coverage

Compilation of Reportable Data

Recording, Reporting, and Disclosure

An institution uses these two definitions, which are outlined below, as coverage tests to determine whether it is a financial institution that is required to comply with Regulation C. For the purposes of this Guide, the term "financial institution" refers to an institution that is either a depository financial institution or a nondepository financial institution that is subject to Regulation C.

Where to Look: Regulation C's institutional coverage criteria are found within the definition of "financial institution," located at 12 CFR 1003.2(g) and the associated commentary, available in Appendix H and I of this Guide. You may also want to review section 3 of the HMDA Small Entity Compliance Guide in Appendix B and the Institutional Coverage Chart in Appendix D of this Guide.
