Summary:
This proposed rule presents HUD’s proposal to simplify and improve the disclosure requirements for
mortgage settlement costs under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA), to protect consumers from unnecessarily
high settlement costs. This proposed rule takes into consideration: discussions during HUD’s RESPA Reform Roundtables held
in July and August 2005; public comments in response to HUD’s July 29, 2002, proposed rule that addressed RESPA reform; and
comments received and views expressed through congressional hearings; meetings with affected parties; and consultation with
other federal agencies, including the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy.
