TO THE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the worlds largest business federation representing the interests of more than three million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations, and dedicated to promoting, protecting, and defending Americas free enterprise system, strongly supports H.R. 1737, the Reforming CFPB Indirect Auto Financing Guidance Act, and H.R. 1210, the Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act. H.R. 1737 would change the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus (CFPB) approach to the indirect auto lending market, and bring much-needed transparency. The CFPB has created enormous uncertainty in this market by issuing guidance without notice and comment, and undertaking enforcement and supervisory actions based upon post hoc statistical modelsbut has failed to share its analysis and assumptions, thus depriving lenders of the ability to anticipate the CFPBs analysis and to comply accordingly. H.R. 1737 would establish clear rules and put any guidance regarding indirect auto lending on a solid footing by eliminating any legal effect of the CFPBs 2013 guidance, and then imposing reasonable conditions on any future guidance on this topic. The Chamber supports H.R. 1210, which would provide regulatory certainty to lenders particularly small lenders such as community banks and credit unionsby allowing loans held on the books of a lender to be eligible for the safe harbor provided under the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule. It would also correct the CFPBs one-size-fits-all approach for the mortgage market. H.R. 1210 would facilitate a robust underwriting process by lenders and would also help qualified borrowers obtain mortgages by alleviating some of the uncertainty that currently exists under the QM rule. Collectively, these bills would provide clear rules and establish certainty in the marketplace benefiting consumers and businesses. The Chamber urges the House of Representatives to pass these bills as expeditiously as possible. Sincerely,
