Subject: PROPOSED REVISIONS TO REGULATION Z STAFF COMMENTARY
Summary:
On November 26, the Federal Reserve Board published proposed revisions to the official staff commentary that interprets the requirements of Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act. The proposed update discusses the status of certain credit card-related fees and the rules for replacing an accepted credit card with one or more cards. In addition, the proposed revisions discuss the treatment of private mortgage insurance payments in disclosing the payment schedule and the selection of Treasury security yields for the purpose of determining whether a mortgage loan is covered by Regulation Z provisions that implement the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act.
