Short Statement:
The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the recordkeeping and disclosure requirements of Regulation H for loans secured by improved property in areas having special flood hazards. Although state member banks have been required to comply with Section 208.25 of Regulation H for some time, the current information collection does not include disclosures related to ensuring maintenance of flood insurance over the life of these loans. The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the information collection to account for this statutory requirement.
