...State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? In the midst of a weakened global economy cause largely by an avoidable housing crisis, financial regulations inevitably have an impact on us all. Decisions made by agencies such as the Department of Treasury, Federal Reserve, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency have the power to directly impact our daily lives much more than other agencies which is essentially the reason for my interest in such a regulation. Also, as a young American looking to own a home in the near future, this regulation has the ability to impact my ability to obtain financing. Beyond merely being a part of the American dream, home buying and the housing market is an essential part of every society’s economy. Describe the proposal/change. Nearly 4 decades after being established the Trust in Lending Act (TILA) also commonly referred to as regulation Z has undergone a number of amendments. The most current changes are to make the guidelines in which a consumer secures credit for the purchase of a home stricter. The change comes as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which was signed into law on July 21, 2010.

...Regulation: As the proposed rule updates the provisions of existing regulation, changes are as follows: 1. 45 CFR part 1206, which deals with project suspension and termination, is moved to 45 CFR part 2556, subpart B with most substantive provisions remaining unchanged. Under the proposed rule the provisions for suspension remain unchanged, except that the provisions for summary suspension are eliminated and the provisions for suspension on notice are retained. This has the effect of giving notice to sponsors for all suspensions. Under the proposed rule the provisions for termination remain unchanged,except that a second CNCS review has been eliminated. Experience has shown that a lengthy termination review process is not beneficial to VISTAs at the project in question, unduly consumes the sponsor's staff time and other resources, creates uncertainty for project beneficiaries, and exhausts VISTA resources that could be put to use for the benefit of project beneficiaries. 2. 45 CFR part 1210, which deals chiefly with early termination of a VISTA, is moved to 45 CFR part 2556, subpart E and changed to improve the cost-effectiveness of the provisions and increase efficiency of VISTA program functions. The new provisions for early termination remain substantively the same in many respects. However, the early termination for cause process is modified. While the process retains more than sufficient due process in the form of written notification and appeals at two levels...
