My understanding is that it is supposed to be 6 months after the national directory is in place. The directory is not yet in place. The regulatory agencies are to publish something when it is ready.

As of March 2010, has the OCC decided to comply with the registration of loan originators?

I'm regulated by the OTS and I'm trying to find the same thing.

What have I missed? What makes you think your regulatory agencies have the option to opt out of the Act? I can see where as Federal agencies they may have the option to opt out of any state requirement but not the Act itself.

I know that none of the regulatory agencies have the right to opt-out. I just would really like to see a version that has been issued by my regulator.

I pulled the draft rule from the FFIEC website FAQ and it appears that the draft rule (already approved by the FDIC) is written as though all of the agencies will adopt it.

Draft rule http://www.fdic.gov/news/board/2009nov12no8.pdf

FFIEC Q&A http://www.ffiec.gov/safeact.htm

Per the Q&A, the rule is currently under review at the OMB, and once approved by the OMB, it is expected to be published by the agencies. My guess would be that everyone else will use whatever is approved by the OMB.

I think this is just a case of the red tape progressing slowly.

Are y'all having withdrawals because you haven't had a new or revised reg in the last month? smile Needing something to do with your spare time? smile

If we are a bank where our LOs are exempt from licensing, are we still suppose to have unique identifier numbers for our branches at this point? The application has a place for it.

As I understand it, we can't provide numbers we don't have. I think FannieMae have given extra time for those institutions that will register their lenders to comply with this rule.
