SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHA Down Payment Simplification Act of 
2002 (Pub. L. 107-326, approved December 4, 2002) amended the National 
Housing Act by adding a new Section 206A (12 U.S.C. 1712a). Under 
Section 206A, the following are affected:
    I. Section 207(c)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1713(c)(3)(A));
    II. Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715e (b)(2)(A));
    III. Section 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715k 
(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I));
    IV. Section 221(d)(4)(ii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715l(d)(4)(ii)(I));
    V. Section 231(c)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715v(c)(2)(A)); and
    VI. Section 234(e)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715y(e)(3)(A)).
    The Dollar Amounts in these sections are the base per unit 
statutory limits for FHA's multifamily mortgage programs collectively 
referred to as the `Dollar Amounts,' they are adjusted annually 
(commencing in 2004) on the effective date of the Consumer Financial 
Protection Bureau's adjustment of the $400 figure in the Home Ownership 
and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA) (Pub. L. 103-325, approved 
September 23, 1994). The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be 
calculated using the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for 
All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as applied by the Bureau of Consumer 
Financial Protection for purposes of the above-described HOEPA 
adjustment.
    HUD has been notified of the percentage change in the CPI-U used 
for the HOEPA adjustment and the effective date of the HOEPA 
adjustment. The percentage change in the CPI-U is 2.0% and the 
effective date of the HOEPA adjustment is January 1, 2014. The Dollar 
Amounts have been adjusted correspondingly and have an effective date 
of January 1, 2015.
    The adjusted Dollar Amounts for Calendar Year 2015 are shown below:
