Title: Restatement of Federal Consumer Financial Law Regulations  
Abstract: The CFPB has recodified regulations implementing Federal consumer financial laws as a series of interim final rules in chapter X of title 12 of the CFR. Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd- Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for 14 consumer financial protection laws from 7 transferor agencies to the CFPB as of July 21, 2011. Pursuant to that authority, the CFPB has recodified existing regulations implementing certain portions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, certain portions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Interstate Land Sales and Full Disclosure Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, certain portions of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, subsections 43(b)-(f) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth in Lending Act, and section 626 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009. The CFPB's interim final rules made no substantive changes to the regulations of the agencies from which the rulemaking authority transferred, but made nomenclature, technical, and other conforming changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act and consolidated multiple versions of the regulations under those statutes where rulewriting authority previously had been split across multiple agencies. Changes included, for example, revisions to references to the transferor agency, internal cross-references, addresses for filing applications and notices, and references to the scope of the CFPB's authority as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFPB may make technical amendments to the recodified regulations, if necessary. OMB has determined that the CFPB's re- codification as Regulation V, 12 CFR 1022, of certain pre-existing regulations implementing portions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act should be classified as a "major" rulemaking under the Congressional Review Act. Thus, the priority of the CFPB's restatement of Regulation V is "Other Significant."
