**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

*Abstract:* The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires certain depository institutions and for-profit, non-depository institutions to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans. Additionally, these institutions must report mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn). The Bureau's Regulation C (12 CFR part 1003) implements HMDA. The purpose of the information collection is:
• To help determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities;
• To assist public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and
• To assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing antidiscrimination statutes.
*Request for Comments:* Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the CFPB, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the CFPB's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB's approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
