Regulation N requires covered persons to retain: (1) Copies of materially different commercial communications and related materials, regarding any term of any mortgage credit product, that the person made or disseminated during the relevant time period; (2) documents describing or evidencing all mortgage credit products available to consumers during the relevant time period; and (3) documents describing or evidencing all additional products or services (such as credit insurance or credit disability insurance) that are or may be offered or provided with the mortgage credit products available to consumers during the relevant time period. The FTC and the CFPB share enforcement authority for Regulation N and thus the two agencies split the burden estimates.

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as well as mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn).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.

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

Incentive compensation practices in the financial services industry contributed to the financial crisis that began in 2007. Bank employees too often were rewarded for increasing short-term revenue or profit without adequate regard to the risks taken to achieve those results. These practices exacerbated the risks and losses at a number of banking organizations and resulted in the misalignment of the interests of employees with the long-term safety and soundness of their organizations. The guidance was issued to assist banking organizations in designing and implementing incentive compensation arrangements that do not encourage imprudent risk-taking and that are consistent with the safety and soundness of a banking organization.

Abstract

GSA’s Office of Shared Solutions and Performance Improvement (OSSPI) improves mission delivery and implementation of the Administration’s priorities by bringing the government together to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and shape effective policy. Working through its three functional areas of Executive Council management, Shared Services, and the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) team, OSSPI’s vision is to be a trusted partner delivering on the Administration priorities by unifying the government as one Federal enterprise. Since 2015, OSSPI (and its predecessor, the Office of Executive Councils) has managed a government-wide survey gauging satisfaction for mission-support services, covering those services provided by the Acquisition, Financial Management, SSC (Security, Suitability, and Credentialing ), and IT functions. This survey was initially part of the Benchmarking initiative, which was a Cross-Agency Priority Goal in the Obama administration (see OMB memorandum M-12-14, p. 8) and has continued by each subsequent administration with PMC consultation and input. The data collections envisioned by the collection will be designed to determine requirements and evaluate the usability and utility of specific research questions as part of GSA’s support for the President’s Management Council (PMC) and OMB’s management offices. These data collection efforts may include, but may not be limited to electronic methodologies, empirical studies, video and audio collections, interviews, and questionnaires. Each individual request under this umbrella collection will include information explaining the purpose, scope, and benefit(s) of each data collection request.
