SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1) Background FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 12 CFR Part 203 [Regulation C; Docket No. R-0S35] Home Mortgage Disclosure; Revisions to Regulation C AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Board has adopted a revised Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure). The revised regulation incorporates recent amendments to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act that were contained in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987. These statutory amendments permanently extend the act and expand its coverage to include mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank and savings and loan holding companies, and savings and loan service corporations that originate or purchase mortgage loans. Other revisions stem from a review made in accordance with the Board’s Regulatory Improvement Program. The HMDA-1 form, which is used by banks, thrifts, and other depository institutions for reporting loan data, remains essentially unchanged. The Board has adopted a separate form HMDA-2 for use by mortgage banking subsidiaries of holding companies and newly covered service corporations, because these institutions are required Io exclude FHA loans from their reports. EFFECTIVE OATES: September 19,1988, except that the provisions in § 203.2 (f) The Board’s Regulation C {12 CFR Part 203) implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (HMDA) {12 U.S.C. 2801 et seg.). It requires depository institutions that have over $10 million in assets, and have offices in metropolitan statistical areas {MSAs) or primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs), to disclose annually their originations and purchases of mortgage and home improvement loans. Data must be itemized by census tract (or by county, in some instances) and also by type of loan. A statement covering the data on a calendar year basis must be made available to the public and reported to the institution’s federal supervisory agency by March 31 following the calendar year for which the data are compiled. When originally passed in 1975, HMDA contained a "sunset" provision under which the act was to expire in 1980. A number of temporary extensions were enacted and, in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-242, section 565,101 Stat. 1815,1945), the Congress permanently extended HMDA by striking the sunset provision from the act. The statutory amendments were signed into law on February 5.1988. In addition to the permanent extension, these amendments expanded the coverage of HMDA to include mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, as well as savings and loan service corporations. On May 13.1988, the Board published for public comment an amended Regulation C to implement these and other changes (53 FR 17081). With some changes that are identified in the 31684 Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 1988 / Rules and Regulations sections that foliow, the Board is now adopting the revised regulation in final form. (2) Regulatory Review (4) Section-by-Section Summary The changes made to each section of the revised regulation are discussed below. The Board's Regulatory Improvement Program calls for periodic review of each of the Board's regulations to determine whether the regulation can be simplified. The Board conducted such a review of Regulation C and made a number of changes. The text of the regulation w as revised to improve its clarity. Obsolete provisions were deleted, footnotes eliminated, and a detailed appendix regarding state exemptions replaced by a brief reference in the regulation. In addition, the instructions to the reporting forms were significantly reworked and should be easier to follow. Section 203.1 Authority, purpose, and scope. A reference has been added in § 203.1(a) to reflect the approval of information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act. A reference to HMDA has been added to the purpose statement in § 203.1(b). Now that the term "depository institution'’ is no longer used in the regulation (eliminating the possibility of confusion), the term "depositories” has replaced the term "repositories" in § 203.1(d), referring to the facilities where data is available in each MSA. (3) Availability of Aggregated Data As required by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (with support from the Federal Reserve Board and the other financial regulators) aggregates loan data received from all reporting institutions in each MSA. The Examination Council also produces tables for each MSA showing lending patterns according to demographic characteristics such as income level and age of housing stock. These tables, together with data on the individual institutions, are sent to central data depositories in each MSA. The act specifies that the aggregated data and related tables shall be available no later than December 31 following the calendar year to which they relate. Typically, the Examination Council has released these reports by late November or early December. The conference report accompanying the HMDA amendments indicates Congressional interest in having the HMDA data available at the central data depositories earlier than is now the case. Member agencies of the Examination Council are implementing changes to data processing procedures in order to facilitate the earlier availability of the data. The Board believes that the revision of Regulation C, together with the expanded instructions for reporting, will serve this purpose by enhancing compliance and by reducing errors that require editing following data submission. Several commenters on the proposal suggested ways in which the aggregation and presentation of aggregated data might be improved. Since the aggregation process is not governed by Regulation C, these suggestions will be brought to the attention of the Examination Council. Section 203.2 D efinitions. Section 203.2 contains definitions of terms used in the regulation, and has been revised as follows. A ct. The definition of “act” in § 203.2(a) has been updated. Branch office. W hat qualifies as a branch office has several consequences for an institution. First, institutions that do not have a home or branch office in an MSA or PMSA are exempt from HMDA. Second. HMDA data must be itemized by census tract for loans on property located in any MSA or PMSA in which the institution has a home or branch office. For loans on property located in other MSAs or PMSAs (or not located in an MSA or PMSA at all), the data are reported as an aggregate sum without geographic itemization. Third, the data must be made available to the public a t one branch office (or home office) in each MSA or PMSA where the institution has home or branch offices. Finally, the institution must post notices in all branch offices located in MSAs or PMSAs to inform the public of the availability of the HMDA data. The revised definition set forth in § 203.2(b) takes account of the difference between the branch office structure of the newly covered mortgage banking firms and that of depository institutions such as banks and thrift institutions. While depository institutions must obtain approval from federal or state regulatory agencies to establish branch offices, mortgage banking firms generally are not required to obtain such approval. Accordingly, the definition of branch office differs for the two classes of institutions. The definition in revised § 203.2(b)(l)(i) applies to banks, thrifts, and other depository institutions; it is the same as in the current regulation and is based on the approval process. For other covered institutions, the Board defines “branch office” in 5 203.2(b)(l)(ii) as an office of the institution that takes applications from the public for home purchase or home improvement loans. In response to comments, the words “of the institution” were added to make clear that branch offices include only facilities of the institution itself, not offices of affiliates or other third parties. This branch office definition will apply to mortgage banking subsidiaries of holding companies and saving and loan service corporations (except for those that are majority owned by a single thrift Institution). The definition of the term “financial institution" in the May proposal would have resulted in the application of the new branch office definition to majorityowned subsidiaries of depository institutions. As discussed below, the final rule does not incorporate that change. Accordingly, majority-owned subsidiaries of depository institutions (including majority-owned service corporations) will continue to be governed by the current rule, which focuses on the branch locations of the parent institution. Federally related mortgage loan. Banks and other depository institutions are subject to HMDA only if they make "federally related mortgage loans.” The definition of that term, currently in footnote 1, has been restated more concisely and incorporated in the text of the regulation as § 203.2(d). Financial institution. Section 203.2(e) defines the institutions covered by the regulation; the term “financial institution" replaces the term "depository institution.” This change is designed to avoid the confusion that might arise from the fact that, in ordinary usage, the term depository institution signifies institutions such as banks and thrifts, not mortgage banking firms and other institutions that do not take deposits. The new definition encompasses both the traditional depository institutions and the new class of covered institutions: Savings and loan service corporations and mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies. As noted above, depository institutions are subject to HMDA only if they make federally related mortgage loans. The statutory amendments do not condition coverage of the newly covered institutions on the making of federally related mortgage loans. The regulatory definition of “financial institution” parallels the statute. Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 1988 / Rules and Regulations A number of commenters asked the Board to clarify the term “mortgage banking subsidiary." Many expressed concern that, without further elaboration, the term might be construed to cover consumer finance subsidiaries of holding companies. The Board believes that the use of the qualifying term "mortgage banking" in the statutory amendments suggests that the Congress did not intend to expand coverage to institutions that make only a limited number of mortgage loans. Section 203.2(e){l)(ii) of the final regulation defines a mortgage banking subsidiary as an institution that makes home purchase loans in an amount greater than 10% of its total loan volume, measured in dollars. This cutoff is intended to ensure that any holding company subsidiary whose line of business is other than mortgage banking, but that makes a small number of home purchase loans, will not be required to report. The May proposal treated majorityowned subsidiaries of depository institutions as financial institutions in their own right. Consequently, these institutions would have been considered to have branch offices in any MSA where they have offices for taking loan applications from the public. A number of commenters opposed this requirement because of the significant increase in the reporting burden for subsidiaries that have offices in MSAs other than the MSAs in which the parent institution has branches. Moreover, a regulatory agency expressed concern that some of the data presently reported by these subsidiaries would no longer be reported in itemized form. Upon farther analysis, the Board has decided to retain the current rule which treats majorityowned subsidiaries as part of the parent institution. A parallel issue arises regarding the treatment of savings and loan service corporations. Although the statutory amendments brought savings and loan service corporations specifically within the coverage of HMDA. service corporations that are majority-owned subsidiaries of thrift institutions already were covered by Regulation C. Because of the statute’s specific reference to service corporations, however, the Board considered whether a majorityowned savings and loan service corporation should continue to be treated as the subsidiary of its parent institution or characterized as a "savings and loan service corporation" under the new definition in the regulation. If treated as a majority-owned subsidiary the service corporation would continue to report, as it does now, on a consolidated basis with its parent; its data would be itemized for MSAs where its parent has offices, and would include FHA lending. If the institution were treated as a "savings and loan service corporation,” however, significanUy different rules would apply. The institution would itemize data only for MSAs where it has offices for taking loan applications, rather than where its parent has branch offices, and it would be required to exclude FHA loans from its reports. The Board believes that the intent of the Congress in enacting the statutory amendments was to extend HMDA coverage to institutions that aTe not already covered. Until now, only those service corporations that are majorityowned subsidiaries of thrifts have been reporting (in conjunction with their parent). Other service corporations were not subject to the regulation (for example, a corporation established by multiple thrifts, none holding a majority interest). The Board believes that die amendments were intended to apply to these latter institutions. Accordingly, under | 203.2(e)(l)(iii) and (e)(2) in the revised definition of “financial institution.” majority-owned savings and loan service corporations are deemed to be part of their parent institution. The Board also has proposed to amend the definition of financial institution to cover industrial banks, which in recent years have taken on many of the characteristics of commercial and savings banks. Based on the comments and further analysis, the Board has decided not to include industrial banks within the definition of financial institution. Home im provem ent and hom e purchase k>ans. The definitions of “home improvement loan” and “home purchase loan” are set forth in § 203.2(f) and (g). The definition of "home improvement loan." though revised for clarity, is substantively unchanged. The revised definition omits the reference to refinancings found in the current regulation because home improvement loans are generally not refinanced, the provision (footnotes 2 and 3 in the current regulation) permitting any firstlien loan to be reported as a home purchase loan now appears in the instructions rather than the regulatory text. The definition of home purchase loan currently is limited to loans for the purchase of "residential real property.” In contrast, a home improvement loan is defined in terms of "residential 31685 dwelling." and may include residential structures such as mobile homes that are not classified as real property in some states. In publishing the proposed regulation, the Board requested comment on whether dwelling units such as mobile or manufactured homes should specifically be covered under the home improvement or the home purchase loan definition, or both. Although some commenters preferred that they be excluded, a majority believed that it w as appropriate for loans on such property to be disclosed, given that they are an important source of housing in some areas. Accordingly, the definitions of home purchase and home improvement loans specifically include mobile and manufactured homes, whether or not these dwellings are considered real property under state law. This provision becomes effective on January 1,1989, and therefore will not require a change in the reporting of loan data for 1988. Several commenters requested that the disclosure requirements for home equity lines be clarified. The instructions to the reporting forms, contained in Appendix A, specify that the data for home improvement loans may include that portion of a home equity line of credit which the borrower indicates, when the line is established, will be used for home improvement purposes. Commenters also requested clarification on the treatment of assumptions. The Board believes that if an institution expressly agrees in writing with a new party to accept that party as the obligor on an existing home purchase loan, the transaction should be treated as a new home purchase loan. But if a new party takes over an existing obligation without a written agreement, the loan is not reportable under HMDA. Section 203.3 Exem pt institutions. Section 203.3 excludes from the coverage of the regulation small institutions, institutions without offices in MSAs, and institutions that are subject to a similar state law and have been granted an exemption from the federal law. The provisions of this section have been reorganized and the language clarified: the substantive rules remain unchanged. Material relating to state law exemptions has been grouped together in § 203.3(b). A new § 203.3(b)(2) has been added to indicate that a state or a financial institution may apply to the Board for an exemption from the regulation based on the existence of a similar state disclosure law. This reference replaces 31686 Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 1988 / Rules and Regulations the detailed discussion in current Appendix B (which the Board has deleted] about the filing of applications for state exemptions. The Board has received questions about how data should be reported in cases where a merger of two or more financial institutions occurs. In some cases, the merger of two institutions that previously were both exempt, because of their asset size, may produce a successor institution whose assets exceed the $10 million cutoff. In other cases, a covered institution may merge with one that w as previously exempt because of asset size or location outside an MSA. In the case of two exempt institutions, the successor institution that becomes subject to HMDA will be required to disclose loan data for the calendar year following the year in which the merger took place. If two institutions merge and only one of them w as previously covered, the successor institution is required to report loan data, for the covered instituton, for the calendar year in which the merger took place. That report may, but need not, also include loan data for the previously exempt institution. Beginning with the following calendar year, the institution will file a consolidated report that includes all loan data. A similar reporting question arises when the institutions that merge are both covered institutions. If two covered institutions merge, the successor institution may file a consolidated report for the calendar year in which they merge, but has the option of filing separate reports for that year. Beginning .with the following calendar year, the institution will file a consolidated report that includes all loan data. Section 203.4 Compilation o f loan data. Section 203.4 sets forth the requirements for itemization of loan data by census tract or county and by type of loan, and is the basis for the detailed instructions that accompany the reporting forms contained in the revised Appendix A. Substantive changes are noted below. Revised § 203.4(a) incorporates material from current S 203.4(a) and (b). Section S 203.(4)(b) has been restructured for readability, and also incorporates the rules on MSAs and census tracts presently found in § 203.4(d). With regard to census tracts, the revised regulation refers to “the most recent census tract series” issued by the Census Bureau. The most recent series is currently the 1980 series. Use of the 1980 series is necessary because 1980 census data is used by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council in preparing tables illustrating lending patterns in each MSA. Section 203.4(c) lists types of loans to be excluded from the disclosures. The six listed in paragraph (c)(1) apply both to depository institutions and to the newly covered institutions. The exclusions for loans made in a fiduciary capacity, loans on unimproved land, and certain refinancings are drawn from current § 203.4(c). The final rule specifies that a refinancing between the original parties should not be reported if the only increase in the principal results from closing costs or unpaid finance charges that are being financed. Two of the remaining three exclusions (temporary financing and the purchase of an interest in a pool of loans) were moved into revised § 203.4 from the definition of “home purchase loan” in current 5 203.2(f). The sixth exclusion relates to loan servicing rights. The purchase of servicing rights in secondary market transactions is a practice common among mortgage bankers. When loans are sold, for example, the buyer may issue securities backed by a pool of loans that it has acquired. The right to service the loans, however, may be retained by the seller/originator of the mortgages. These servicing rights may later be transferred from one institution to another for a purchase price that is usually a small percentage (such as 1 or 2 percent) of the value of the underlying loans. The act and regulation require institutions to report data on mortgage loans that they purchase. The Board believes that a covered institution’s purchase of these servicing rights does not accurately reflect the extent to which an institution has made mortgage credit available in a community. Accordingly, the regulation excludes from the reporting requirement the purchase solely of servicing rights to mortgage loans. Section 203.4(c)(2) applies only to mortgage banking subsidiaries and savings and loan service corporations that are not majority-owned. It excludes from the reporting requirement loans that are insured under Title I or II of the National Housing Act (that is. FHAinsured home improvement and home purchase loans), implementing new section 304(g) of HMDA, which expressly provides for their exclusion. (Under section 311 of HMDA. data on FHA-insured loans made by these types of lenders are to be collected by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.) As discussed under Appendix A, the Board has provided an optional form HMDA-2A that may be used by these institutions to disclose their FHA lending activity. Section 203.5 Disclosure and reporting. Section 203.5 relates to making loan data available at offices of an institution and reporting the data to supervisory agencies. As under the current provisions, disclosure statements for a given calendar year are due by the following March 31. This section also requires institutions to post notices regarding the availability of HMDA data. Posters that may be used to meet the notice requirement are available from federal supervisory agencies. The revised section clarifies that an institution may, in its notice, give the location where disclosure statements are available. Section 203.6 Enforcement. Section 203.6 sets forth rules relating to administrative enforcement and bona fide errors. The language and structure of this section have been revised to clarify its provisions. A ppendix A Forms and instructions. Appendix A of the current regulation, which lists supervisory agencies, is designated Appendix B in the revised regulation; and the current Appendix C, containing the mortgage disclosure forms, is now Appendix A. The revised Appendix A contains two reporting forms and accompanying instructions, plus an optional form. Institutions must use the prescribed format of the HMDA-1 or HMDA-2 form, as appropriate, but are not required to use the form itself. An institution may, for example, choose to produce a computer printout of its disclosure statement instead. The HMDA-1 reporting form continues to be the prescribed form for use by commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, building and loan associations, homestead associations (including cooperative banks), and credit unions. The instructions for completing the form have been expanded significantly to facilitate compliance; the form itself is unchanged except for minor revisions. Column headings have been changed to read “total dollar amount” instead of "principal amount," but the data to be reported in these columns remain the same. Accordingly, institutions will not have to make changes in their data processing procedures for compiling the data. A signature line has been added, calling for an officer of the reporting institution to certify to the accuracy of the report. Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 1988 / Rules and Regulations A new form HMDA-2 and accompanying instructions have been added for use by savings and loan service corporations and mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, which will not report FHA loans. The provision of a new form is intended to minimize confusion for reporting institutions. The Board has provided an optional form, HMDA-2A, that may be used by institutions that wish to maintain a public record of their FHA lending activity. Use of the form is optional; the form will not be submitted to supervisory agencies, but could be made available to the public (along with the required HMDA data) at the institution’s own offices. Notice of the changes to the HMDA-1 reporting form and of the Board’s adoption of a new HMDA-2 and HMDA-2A is being published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, to comply with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act. A ppendix B Federal supervisory agencies Appendix B of the current regulation, relating to applications for state exemptions, has been deleted In its place, a reference to the availability of state exemptions has been added to § 203.3. Current Appendix A. which lists enforcement agencies, has been designated Appendix B. The Board has amended the appendix to incorporate references specifying that mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies shall submit HMDA reports to the Federal Reserve System, and that savings and loan service corporations and mortgage banking subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies shall submit theirs to the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These reporting arrangements are appropriate in view of the Federal Reserve’s general supervisory responsibility for non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System's parallel responsibility for savings and loan service corporations and mortgage banking subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies. (5) E ffective dates. Mortgage banking subsidiaries of holding companies, and savings and loan service corporations that are not majority-owned by any one thrift institution, will be required to report data on loan originations and purchases for calendar year 1988. Their first report will be due on March 31, 1989. A number of commenters asked that these institutions not be required to report data for 1988. However, because the statutory amendments specify the effective data for coverage, the Board is unable to delay the reporting requirements. Changes related to reporting of mobile and manufactured home loans, whether or not these dwellings are characterized as realty under state law, will take effect on January 1,1989 (to be reported on statements filed in March of 1990). (6) Economic impact statement. The Board’s Division of Research and Statistics has prepared an economic impact statement on the revisions to Regulation C.

Appendix A—Forms and Instructions HMDA-1. "MORTGAGE LO AN DISCLOSURE S T A TEMENT" Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to vary from 2 to 50 hours per response, with an average of 30 hours per response, including time to gather and maintain the data needed and to review instructions and complete the information collection. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Secretary. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Washington. DC 20551: and to the^ffice of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503. INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMERCIAL BANKS. SA VINGS BANKS. SA VINGS AND LO AN ASSO C IA TIONS. CREDIT UNIONS AND OTHER DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS A. Who M ust Use This Form 1. A commercial bank, savings bank, savings and loan association, building and loan association, homestead association (including a cooperative bank) or credit union must complete this HMDA-1 form to disclose loan data for a given calendar year if on the preceding December 31 the institution: a. Had assets of more than S10 million, and b. Had a home or a branch office in a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or a primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA). Example: If on December 31,1987, your home office was located in an MSA and your assets exceeded S10 million, you must compile data and complete a disclosure statement for ail home purchase and home inprovement loans that you originate or purchase during calendar year 1988. 2. However, your institution need not complete a disclosure statement—even though it meets the tests for asset size and location—if it makes no first-lien mortgage loans on l-to-4 family dwellings in the calendar year for which the data are compiled. 3. Any majority-owned subsidiary is deemed to be part of the parent institution. Consequently, you should consolidate into your disclosure statement loan data relating to originations and purchases by all of your institution’s majority-owned subsidiaries (including a majority-owned service corporation, in the case of a savings and loan association). To comply with the requirements described under section G (Geographic Itemization) below, itemize loan data for MSAs or PMSAs where the parent institution has a home or branch offices. Example: If you have a home and branch offices in New York City, and your subsidiary’s loan offices are in Philadelphia, itemize data by census tract (or county) only for the New York PMSA. Report loan data on loans relating to property located anywhere outside the New York PMSA (including loans in Philadelphia) as an aggregate sum in section 2 (Loans on property not located in MSAs/PMSAs where institution has home or branch offices). B. Who M ust Use Other Forms 1. Mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, mortgage banking subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies, and savings and loan service corporations that originate or purchase mortgage loans (other than service corporations that are majority-owned by a single savings and loan association) must use the HMDA-2 form instead of the HMDA-1. 2. Institutions that have been exempted by the Federal Reserve Board from complying with federal law because they are covered by a similar state law on mortgage loan disclosures must use the disclosure form required by their state law. C. Format 1. You must use the format of the HMDA-1 form, but you are not required to use the form 31689 itself. For example, you may produce a computer printout of your disclosure statement instead. But you must give all the identifying information asked for at the top of the form, use the prescribed column headings, provide the signature of a certifying officer, etc. 2. If your report on loan originations or purchases consists of more than one page, number the pages and include the name of your institution and the MSA number at the top of each page. Enter the totals for the MSA on the final page; do not give subtotals on earlier pages. Report the section 2 data (Loans or property not located in MSAs/ PMSAs) on the final page. If your report contains itemized data for more than one MSA, report the section 2 data only once for Part A and once for Part B—do not repeat the data on the report for each MSA. D. When and W here Statem ent is Due 1. You must send two copies of your disclosure statement to the office specified by your federal supervisory agency no later than March 31 following the calendar year for which the loan data are compiled. 2. The completed disclosure statement must be signed by an officer of your institution (for both Part A and Part B, on the final page of each) certifying to the accuracy of the data and indicating whether the statement includes data of a majority-owned subsidiary. (See paragraph 3 of section A above.) 3. You also must make your disclosure statement available no later than March 31 for inspection by the public at your home office and, if you have branch offices in other MSAs. at one branch office in each of these MSAs. E. Data To Be Shown 1. Originations and purchases. Show the data on home purchase and home improvement loans that you originated or purchased during the calendar year covered by the disclosure statement. Report the data on loan originations on Part A of the form and the data on loan purchases on Part B of the form even if the loans were subsequently sold. If you have no loans to report in one of the two parts, enter "none” in the column provided for census tract numbers and enter zeros in Columns A through E; this helps to show that no part of an institution's report has been lost. 2. Num ber and total dollar amount. Show the number of loans and the total dollar amount of loans for each category on the statement. For home purchase loans that you originate, "total dollar amount” means the original principal amount of the loan. For home purchase loans that you purchase, "total dollar amount" means the unpaid principal balance of the loan at time of purchase. For home improvement loans (both originations and purchases), you may include unpaid finance charges in the "total dollar amount” if that is how you record such loans on your books. 3. Rounding. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest thousand ($500 should be rounded up), and show in terms of thousands. 31690_____ Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19. 1988 / Rules and Regulations F. Data to Be Excluded Do not report the following types of loans; 1.

Geographic Item ization (breakdown o f loan data fo r each M SA or PMSA b y census tract or county a nd o f loan data in the outside-M SA/PM SA category) 1. M SA/PM SA. You must compile loan data geographically for each MSA or PMSA in which you have a home or branch office. (See item 0 below for treatment of loans on property outside MSAs/PMSAs). Start a new page for each MSA or PMSA if you itemize data for more than one MSA/PMSA You must use the MSA/PMSA boundaries (defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget) that were in effect on January 1 of the calendar year for which the loan data are compiled. 2. Census tract or county. For loans on property that is located within one of these MSAs or PMSAs. itemize the data by the census tract in which the property is located, except that you must itemize the data by county instead of census tract when the property: a. Is located in an area that is not divided into census tracts on the U.S. Census Bureau's census tract outline maps (see item 3 below); or b. Is located in a county with a population of 30.000 or less. To determine population, use the Census Bureau's PC80-1-A population series even if the population has increased above 30X100 since 1980. 3. Census tract maps. To determine census tract numbers, consult the U.S. Census Bureau's census tract outline maps. You may use the maps of the appropriate MSAs/ PMSAs in the Census Bureau's PHC80-2 series for the 1980 census, or use equivalent census data from the Census Bureau (such as GBF/DIME files) or from a private publisher. Use the maps in the 1980 series even if more current maps are-available. 4. Compilation. Enter the data for all loans made in a given census tract on the same line. listing the number and total dollar amount in the appropriate columns (as described below in section H) and listing the census tracts in numerical sequence. Do the same for loans made in a given county. 5. Duplicate census tract numbers. If you have a home or branch office in the New York. NY PMSA. note that there are duplicate census tract numbers in New York City. When reporting, you must indicate the county (by name or number) in addition to the tract number for these census tracts. 8. O utside-M SA/PM SA. If the loans are for property that is located outside those MSAs or PMSAs in which you have a home or branch office (or outside any MSA or PMSA), report the loan data as an aggregate sum in section 2 of the form. You do not have to itemize these loans by census tract or county. (But you will have to itemize the data by type of loan, as described in section H below.) H.

Loans made or purchased in a fiduciary capacity; 3. Loans on unimproved land: 4. Refinancings of loans that involve no increase in the outstanding principal, aside from closing costs and unpaid finance charges; 5. Construction loans and other temporary financing; 6. Purchase of an interest in a pool of mortgage loans such as mortgage participation certificates: 7. Purchases solely of the right to service loans; or 8. FHA home purchase and home improvement loans (at your option, you may record FHA Loans on form HMDA-2A, "Mortgage Loan Statement for Optional Disclosure of FHA Loans"). G. Geographic Itemization (breakdown o f loan data for each MSA or PMSA by census tract or county, and aggregation o f loan data for the ovtside-SA/PM S category) 1. MSA/PMSA. You must compile loan data geographically for each MSA or PMSA in which you have a home or branch office. (See item 6 below for treatment of loans on property outside such MSAs/PMSAs). Start a new page for each MSA or PMSA if you itemize data for more than one MSA/PMSA. You must use the MSA/PMSA boundaries (defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget) that were in effect on January l of the calendar year for which the loan data are compiled. 2. Census tract or county. For loans on property that is located within one of these MSAs or PMSAs. itemize the dala by the census tract in which the property is located, except that you must itemize the data by county instead of census tract when the property: a. Is located in an area that is not divided into census tracts on the U.S. Census Bureau’s census tract outline maps (see item 3 below); or b. Is located in a county with a population of 30.000 or less. To determine population, use the Census Bureau’s PC80-1-A population series even if the populations has increased above 30,000 since 1980. 3. Census tract maps. To determine census tract numbers, consult the U.S. Census Bureau's census tract outline maps. You may use the maps of the appropriate MSAs/ PMSAs in the Census Bureau's PHC80-2 series for the 1980 census, or use equivalent census data from the Census Bureau (such as GBF/D1ME files) or from a private publisher. Use the maps in the 1980 series even if more current maps are available. 31694 Federal Register / Vol. 53, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 1988 / Rules and Regulations 4. Compilation. Enter the data for all loans made in a given census tract on the same line, listing the number and total dollar amount in the appropriate columns (as described below in section H) and listing the census tracts in numerical sequence. Do the same tor loans made in a given county. 5. Duplicate census tract numbers. If you have a home or branch office in the New York. NY PMSA. note that there are duplicate census tract numbers in New York City. When reporting, you must indicate the county (by name or number) in addition to the tract number for these census tracts. 6. Outside-MSA/PMSA. If the loans are for property that is located outside those MSAs or PMSAs in which you have a home or branch office (or outside any MSA or PMSA), report the loan data as an aggregate sum in Section 2 of the form. You do not have to itemize the loans by census tract or county. (But you will have to itemize the data by type of loan, as described in section H below.) H.

B. and C) that were made to borrowers who indicated at the time of the loan application that they did not intend to use the property as a principal dwelling. 2. In completing Column E of Part S. you may assume that a purchased loan does not fall within this "nonoccupant" category unless your documents contain information to the contrary. 3.
