H.R. 3770
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection-Inspector General Reform
Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on June 11, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 3770 would direct the President to appoint an Inspector General for the Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) within 60 days of enactment, and would require
the CFPB to set aside 2 percent of its annual funding to operate the office of the Inspector
General. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which
established the CFPB, the responsibilities of the Federal Reserve Office of Inspector
General (OIG) were broadened to include the CFPB (that office is currently known as the
OIG of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the CFPB). H.R. 3770 would
authorize the Federal Reserve OIG to serve in that position until a new Inspector General
for the CFPB is confirmed. At that time, the responsibilities of the Federal Reserve OIG
would not include oversight of the CFPB.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3770 would increase direct spending by $100 million
over the 2015-2024 period. Further, enacting H.R. 3770 would increase revenues by
$51 million over the 2015-2024 period, reflecting lower costs for the Federal Reserve OIG.
Taking those effects together, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3770 would increase
budget deficits by $49 million over the ten-year period.
Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct
spending and revenues. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3770 would not affect
discretionary costs.
H.R. 3770 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.
