YEAR-END HMDA NEWS

As part of the usual year-end flurry the Federal Reserve Board published its annual notice of the asset-size exemption threshold for depository institutions under Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA).
The asset-size exemption for depository institutions will increase to $40 million based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the twelve-month period ending in November 2010. Depository institutions with assets of $40 million or less as of December 31, 2010, are exempt from collecting data in 2011.
The adjustment is effective January 1, 2011.
