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.
