Summary

The Director must send a written report to the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee by June 15 each year. The report must say what the Director has done to carry out the law, describe how safe and sound each regulated entity is (including results of their yearly exams), offer any suggested laws to improve safety, and say whether required procedures under 42 U.S.C. 4012a(b)(3) are adequate and being followed. For those procedures the report must also give results of any exams used to check compliance, the ways compliance was checked, the kinds and sources of problems found, and fixes taken. The report must include the Board’s views on safety, any major operational problems, overall operations, and how well the entities are doing their jobs. It must also cover the Agency’s operations, resources, and performance, and any other matters related to the Agency’s mission. The detailed compliance information about 42 U.S.C. 4012a(b)(3) is required only in the first, third, and fifth annual reports due after the one-year period that began on September 23, 1994 ends. By March 15 each year the Director must send a separate written report to the same congressional committees about the prior calendar year’s requests to the Attorney General for enforcement under subchapter III and how each request was handled. That report must state the total number of requests, how many led to litigation and how many did not, for those that led to litigation how many days passed from request to start and how many days from start to end, and the counts of requests pending at the start of the year, made during the year, completed during the year, and pending at year end.
