On August 28, 2020, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Seasoned QM Proposal) proposing to create a new category of qualified mortgages in Regulation Z for first-lien, fixed- rate covered transactions that have met certain performance requirements over a 36-month seasoning period, are held in portfolio until the end of the seasoning period, comply with general restrictions on product features and points and fees, and meet certain underwriting requirements. The 30-day comment period for the Seasoned QM Proposal is counted from the date of publication, which was August 28. Thus, the 30-day comment period was set to close on September 28, 2020, which this year is the date on which the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur falls. In response to a request that we change the due date in light of the holiday, the Bureau is extending the comment period for the Seasoned QM Proposal until October 1, 2020.
