SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: High-Cost Mortgage and Homeownership 
Counseling Amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z).
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0023.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Private Sector (Businesses and other for- and non-
profit institutions).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 12.
    Abstract: The Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., 
was enacted to foster comparison credit shopping and informed credit 
decision making by requiring accurate disclosure of the costs and terms 
of credit to consumers. Creditors are subject to disclosure and other 
requirements that apply to open-end credit (e.g., revolving credit or 
credit lines) and closed-end credit (e.g., installment financing). TILA 
imposes disclosure requirements on all types of creditors in connection 
with consumer credit, including mortgage companies, finance companies, 
retailers, and credit card issuers, to ensure that consumers are fully 
apprised of the terms of financing prior to consummation of the 
transaction and, in some instances, during the loan term. It also 
imposes advertising disclosure requirements on advertisers of consumer 
credit. TILA also establishes billing error resolution procedures for 
open-end credit and limits consumer liability for the unauthorized use 
of credit cards.
    An amendment to TILA, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act 
(HOEPA), imposes, among other things, various disclosure and other 
requirements on certain creditors offering high-cost mortgages to 
consumers. The Bureau promulgated its Regulation Z to implement TILA, 
as required by the statute. The Bureau enforces TILA as to certain 
creditors and advertisers. TILA also contains a private right of action 
for consumers and provides enhanced remedies to consumers in high-cost 
mortgages for violations of HOEPA.
    Request for Comments: The Bureau issued a 60-day Federal Register 
notice on September 14, 2015 (80 FR 55100). Comments were solicited and 
continue to be invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The 
accuracy of the Bureau'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 approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.
