The Board, Bureau, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA,
and OCC (collectively, the Agencies) are amending Regulation Z,
which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the official
interpretation to the regulation. The revisions to Regulation Z
implement a new TILA provision requiring appraisals for
''higher-risk mortgages'' that was added to TILA as part of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. For
mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average
prime offer rate by a specified percentage, the rule requires
creditors to obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain
specified standards, provide applicants with a notification
regarding the use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of
the written appraisals used.
