CFPB’s Regulations
B, V, and Z
On March 20, 2023, the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published the “Agency Contact Information”
final rule in the
Federal Register.
More...
The CFPB has identified four
clerical errors in that final rule. These errors are found in the
federal agency contact information that must be provided with Equal
Credit Opportunity Act adverse action notices in appendix A to Regulation
B, the Fair Credit Reporting Act Summary of Consumer Rights in appendix
K to Regulation V, and a CFPB website address where the public may
access certain annual percentage rate tables referenced in comment
appendix J–2 to Regulation Z. The correction is effective September
25, 2023 (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation B, Regulation V, and Regulation Z) and was published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2023.CFPB’s Regulation Z
In 2021, the CFPB amended Regulation Z
to address the anticipated sunset of LIBOR (London interbank offered
rate), which was expected to be discontinued for most U.S. dollar
(USD) tenors in June 2023.
More...
The final rule became effective
April 1, 2022, except for amendments to appendix H that become effective
October 1, 2023 (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation Z, Docket CFPB–2020–0014) and was published in
the Federal Register on December 8, 2021.Proposed Rules
The Board is inviting public
comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the Board’s rule
that identifies and establishes risk-based capital surcharges for
global systemically important bank holding companies (G-SIBs).
More...
The proposal would
also amend the Systemic Risk Report (FR Y-15), which is the source
of inputs to the implementation of the G-SIB framework under the capital
rule. The changes set forth in the proposal would improve the precision
of the G-SIB surcharge and better measure systemic risk under the
framework. For certain systemic indicators currently measured only
as of a single date, the proposal would change to reporting of the
average of daily or monthly values to reduce the effects of temporary
changes to indicator values around measurement dates. To improve risk
capture, the proposal would also make improvements to the measurement
of some systemic indicators used in the G-SIB surcharge framework
and the framework for determining prudential standards for large banking
organizations. In addition, the proposal would reduce cliff effects
and enhance the sensitivity of the surcharge to changes in the method
2 score by calculating surcharges based on narrower score band ranges.
Finally, the proposal would make several amendments to the FR Y-15
to improve the consistency of data reporting and systemic indicator
measurement. Comments on this notice of proposed rulemaking must be
received by November 30, 2023 (Docket R–1814).
