Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three Years, Without Revision, of the Following Information Collection

Collection title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Regulation H (Loans Secured by Real Estate Located in Flood Hazard Areas).

Collection identifier: FR H-2.

OMB control number: 7100-0280.

General description of collection: The federal flood insurance statutes and Regulation H—Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR part 208) provide that a lender shall not make, increase, extend, or renew a loan secured by a building or mobile home located in a special flood hazard area unless the secured property is covered by flood insurance for the term of the loan. With respect to the recordkeeping and disclosure provisions, Regulation H generally requires state member banks to retain certain flood hazard documentation and to notify borrowers and servicers regarding properties in flood hazard areas and requirements related to flood insurance. State member banks also must notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the identity of, and any change in, the servicer of a loan secured by improved property in a special flood hazard area. The information collection requirements under the flood hazard provisions of Regulation H are triggered by specific events in the lending process.

Frequency: Event-generated.

Respondents: State member banks or servicers acting on their behalf.

Total estimated number of respondents: 706.

Total estimated annual burden hours: 33,983.

Current actions: On April 2, 2025, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 14443) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the FR H-2. The comment period for this notice expired on June 2, 2025. The Board did not receive any comments.
