The guidance will assist institutions
in managing the compliance and reputation risks associated with
reverse mortgages. It will ensure that their risk management and
consumer protection practices adequately address the compliance and
reputation risks raised by reverse mortgage lending.
The increase in burden is due
to the integration of the OTS with the OCC. The additional
respondents are entities formerly regulated by the OTS. Reverse
mortgages are home-secured loans typically offered to elderly
consumers. Institutions regulated by Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council members offer two types of reverse mortgage
products: the lenders' own proprietary reverse mortgage products
and reverse mortgages offered under the Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage (HECM) program. Both HECMs and proprietary products are
subject to various laws governing mortgage lending including the
Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act,
the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the fair lending laws. HECMs
are also subject to an extensive regulatory regime established by
HUD, including provisions for FHA insurance of HECM loans that
protect both lenders and reverse mortgage borrowers.
