View Rule

The Bureau is participating in an interagency rulemaking process with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively, the Agencies) to develop regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) concerning automated valuation models.  The FIRREA amendments require implementing regulations for quality control standards for automated valuation models (AVMs).  In February 2022, the Bureau initiated the process under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) for this rulemaking and released an outline of proposals and alternatives under consideration for the SBREFA panel, made up of representatives of small businesses that might be affected by the rulemaking.  The Bureau released a final SBREFA report on May 13, 2022.  The Agencies will continue to work to develop a proposed rule to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s AVM amendments to FIRREA.
