Washington, D.C. – Today, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) joined eight other agencies to announce that it is seeking comment on a proposed rule to establish data standards for certain information collected by financial regulatory agencies. FHFA joins the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Department of the Treasury in proposing this rule.
The proposed rule is part of the implementation of the Financial Data Transparency Act of 2022. Once the data standards are established via the final joint rule, FHFA would issue a separate agency rule that describes how it will adopt relevant standards for certain information collected by FHFA.
FHFA invites comments on the proposed rule within 60 days of its publication in the Federal Register.
