H.R. 3193
Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness
Improvement Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on November 21, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 3193 would amend the statute that authorizes the Financial Stability Oversight
Council (FSOC) to delay implementation or set aside final regulations developed by the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The bill also would require the CFPB,
when developing a new rule, to consider the impact of the rule on the financial soundness
of an insured depository institution.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3193 would increase direct spending by $5 million over
the 2014-2024 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates that
enacting H.R. 3193 would not have a significant effect on revenues and implementing the
bill would not affect discretionary costs.
H.R. 3193 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The CFPB is permanently authorized to spend amounts transferred from the Federal
Reserve; because that activity is not subject to appropriation, CFPB expenditures are
recorded in the budget as direct spending.
CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted near the middle of fiscal year 2014 and that
spending will follow historical patterns for the CFPB. H.R. 3193 would broaden the scope
of items the CFPB must consider when prescribing new rules under consumer financial
laws. Currently, the CFPB must consider both the potential costs to consumers and the
effect on certain entities and consumers in rural areas. H.R. 3193 would direct the CFPB to
consider the impact of a potential new rule on the financial safety or soundness of an

insured depository institution as well.
