Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

CFPB Issues Two NPRMs Regarding Expiration of GSE Patch

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NRPMs) that aim to ensure a smooth transition as the Government-Sponsored Enterprises Patch (GSE) expires as scheduled in January 2021 and the temporary qualified mortgage (QM) loan definitions of the GSE expire with it. The first NRPM proposes a change to the General QM definition in Regulation Z, replacing the DTI limit with an approach based on price. The second NRPM proposes amending Regulation Z to extend the expiration of the GSE to accommodate a final rule regarding the amendments made in the first NRPM.

The OCC Approves Interim Final Rule Reducing Assessments Due to COVID-19

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved an interim final rule (IFR) that reduces the number of OCC assessments owed to the OCC on September 30, 2020. This IFR is aimed at providing relief to institutions affected by the national emergency declared to halt the spread of COVID-19. This one-time change will allow banks assessments due on September 30, 2020 to be calculated using the December 31, 2019 call report for each institution rather than the June 30, 2020 call report, reducing the number of assessments due.
