The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA), 12 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., as amended, requires lenders, mortgage brokers, or servicers of certain home loans to provide borrowers with pertinent and timely disclosures regarding the nature and costs of the real estate settlement process, as well as servicing, including escrowing.. The Act also prohibits specific practices, such as kickbacks, and places limitations upon the use of escrow accounts. , among other things the purposes of RESPA include, in part, providing consumers with more effective advance disclosure of settlement costs and eliminating certain abusive practices that tend to increase unnecessarily the costs of settlement services. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) amended RESPA by, among other things, requiring a single, integrated disclosure for mortgage loan transactions, mandating new disclosures and protections concerning force-placed hazard insurance, revising requirements for home buying information booklets, reducing response times to borrower inquiries, and settling time limits on refunds of escrow account balances at payoff. for consumers with certain residential mortgages, 12 U.S.C. 2603, 2604, and 2605. Regulation X, 12 CFR 1024.1-.41, implements RESPA. Regulation X contains information collections in the form of various disclosure and recordkeeping requirements. The disclosures in this collection are required by the statute and implementing regulations. Consumers use the disclosures required by RESPA and Regulation X to inform their choice of settlement service providers, review the final terms of a settlement, understand who to contact about questions concerning their mortgage loan, and identify and protect themselves against inaccurate or questionable loan servicing practices. The information collections discussed in this supporting statement are required in Regulation X, but to the extent that compliance with requirements in Regulation Z (12 CFR 1026) provides an exemption from compliance with similar requirements in Regulation X, the information collection burden is accounted for in OMB Control Number 3170-0015.
