Terms of Clearance:
Pursuant to the previous terms of clearance, with publication of the final rule associated with this collection, the previous agreement between HUD and CFPB to permit regulated industries to use either the HUD control number (2502-0265) associated with this information collection, or the CFPB control number, is no longer applicable. Regulated entities now should only use this CFPB OMB control number for the information collections instruments previously associated with the HUD (2502-0265) forms. CFPB should work with HUD to ensure that HUD's related collection is discontinued.

Short Statement:
The final rule eliminates the majority of the ongoing PRA burden under Regulation X for the GFE and HUD-1 and HUD-1A Settlement Statement disclosures. On a market-wide basis, annual PRA burden in Regulation X decreases by approximately 10.8 million hours (these hours are being transferred to OMB No. 3170-0015 (Regulation Z)). The Bureau also notes that the $727,302,490 cost previously reported as cost burden was hourly costs and not O&M ("cost burden"). This submission corrects this error by removing these costs from the cost burden estimate.
