Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Data Collection Requirements for Calendar Year 2007

Dear Board of Directors:

Credit unions that engage in residential mortgage lending and meet certain criteria must comply with Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Regulation C requires credit unions that meet all three of the following criteria to collect HMDA data associated with mortgage applications processed during 2007:

• The credit union’s total assets as of December 31, 2006 exceeded $36 million. This is the threshold established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB);
• The credit union had a home or branch office in a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) on December 31, 2006; and
• During 2006, the credit union originated at least one home purchase loan or a refinance of a home purchase loan secured by a first lien on a one-to-four-family dwelling.

Credit unions meeting all three of the above criteria must collect HMDA data during calendar year 2007 and submit the data to the FRB by no later than March 1, 2008. All other credit unions are exempt from filing HMDA data associated with mortgage applications processed during 2007.
