regulatory matters that the Bureau reasonably anticipates having under 
consideration during the period from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 
2023, as described further below.\1\ The complete Unified Agenda is 
available to the public at the following website: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov">https://www.reginfo.gov</a>.

    Consistent with procedures established by OMB's Office of

rule through final rule stages sections list items the Bureau plans to 
issue within the next 12 months. Rulemakings in the pre-rule stage are 
listed with a date of November 2023, the end of the reporting period, 
as a placeholder only. The long-term actions are listed for 
informational purposes, if a regulatory action is anticipated beyond 
that one-year time frame. Completed actions are those that have been 
published as final or are withdrawn.

Prerule Stage

499. Required Rulemaking on Personal Financial Data Rights [3170-AA78]

    Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 5533
    Abstract: Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) provides that, subject to 
rules prescribed by the Bureau, a covered entity (for example, a bank) 
must make available to consumers, upon request, transaction data and 
other information concerning a consumer financial product or service 
that the consumer obtains from the covered entity. Section 1033 also 
states that the Bureau must prescribe by rule standards to promote the 
development and use of standardized formats for information made 
available to consumers. In November 2020, the Bureau published an 
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning implementation 
of section 1033, accepting comments until February 2021. In October 
2022, the Bureau released materials in advance of convening a panel 
under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), 
in conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and the Small 
Business Administration's Chief Counsel for Advocacy. The Bureau's next 
step in the rulemaking is to convene the SBREFA panel and issue a 
report summarizing feedback received from the panel.

Proposed Rule Stage

500. Amendments to Firrea Concerning Automated Valuation Models [3170-
AA57]

    Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 3354
    Abstract: The Bureau is participating in an interagency rulemaking 
process with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the 
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and 
the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively, the Agencies) to 
develop regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the 
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 
(FIRREA) concerning automated valuation models. The FIRREA amendments 
require implementing regulations for quality control standards for 
automated valuation models (AVMs). In February 2022, the Bureau 
initiated the process under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) for this rulemaking and released an 
outline of proposals and alternatives under consideration for the 
SBREFA panel, made up of representatives of small businesses that might 
be affected by the rulemaking. The Bureau released a final SBREFA 
report on May 13, 2022. The Agencies will continue to work to develop a 
proposed rule to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's AVM amendments to 
FIRREA.

Final Rule Stage

501. Small Business Lending Data Collection Under the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act [3170-AA09]

    Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1691c-2
    Abstract: Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act (ECOA) to require, subject to rules prescribed by the 
Bureau, financial institutions to report information concerning credit 
applications made by women-owned, minority-owned, and small businesses. 
In September 2020, the Bureau released an outline of proposals under 
consideration and alternatives considered in advance of convening a 
panel under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA), in conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and 
the Small Business Administration's Chief Counsel for Advocacy. The 
SBREFA panel was convened in October 2020 and received feedback from 
representatives of small entities on the impacts the rules the Bureau 
is considering to implement section 1071 would have on small entities 
likely to be directly affected by the rulemaking. The panel's report 
was completed and released in December 2020. On October 8, 2021, a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal 
Register. The Bureau's next action for the section 1071 rulemaking is 
the issuance of a final rule.
