The CFPB has filed for public inspection with the Office of the Federal Register a final rule scheduled for publication on December 27, 2024, to adjust the asset-size exemption in the official commentary interpreting requirements of Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) threshold for banks, savings associations, and credit unions. The threshold is adjusted, effective January 1, 2025, from $56 million to $58 million.
