Abstract

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is rescinding its Fair Housing Home Loan Data System regulation. The OCC has determined that the regulation is obsolete and largely duplicative of and inconsistent with other legal authorities that require national banks to collect and retain certain information on applications for home loans. Moreover, it imposed asymmetrical data collection requirements on national banks compared to their other depository institution counterparts, and the data collected had limited utility. For these reasons, rescinding the regulation eliminates the regulatory burden for national banks without having a material impact on the availability of data necessary for the OCC to conduct its fair housing- related supervisory activities.
