Comments: On June 17, 2025, the
OCC published a 60-day notice for this
information collection, (90 FR 25746).
The OCC received one comment from a
community bank trade organization.
The trade organization stated that as
HMDA reporting has become more
complex, it has increased the need for
staffing and investment in software for
community banks. The commenter
stated that its members experience
challenges surrounding HMDA data
collection, including general
difficulties, the cost of subsequent
compliance reviews, general monetary
costs, and staff training. The commenter
also stated that CFPB expanded and
complicated the requirements for
collecting data, which the commenter
stated is particularly difficult for its
members to comply with. The
commenter also stated that higher
thresholds for when banks need to
report HMDA data would deliver the
best relief for community banks.
In 2010, Congress transferred
rulemaking authority under HMDA from
the Federal Reserve Board to the CFPB.4
The OCC does not have rulemaking
authority under HMDA. Therefore, the
OCC does not have authority to make
