                                   HOME Act

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on January 18, 2018


 Under current law, mortgage lenders are required to compensate property appraisers at a
 customary and reasonable rate for performing appraisal services. H.R. 2255 would deem
 appraisal services donated to an organization that is eligible to receive tax-deductible
 charitable contributions to be customary and reasonable for purposes of that requirement.

 Using information from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), CBO
 estimates that enacting H.R. 2255 would cost $1 million over the 2018-2020 period for
 several agencies to prepare an interagency rule amending their regulations to reflect the
 new appraisal requirements.

 Costs incurred by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union
 Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Housing
 Finance Agency are recorded in the budget as increases in direct spending. Those
 agencies are authorized to collect premiums and fees from the financial institutions they
 regulate to fully cover such administrative expenses. The CFPB is permanently
 authorized to spend amounts transferred from the Federal Reserve. Because that activity
 is not subject to appropriation, the CFPB's expenditures are recorded in the budget as
 direct spending. In total, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2255 would increase net
 direct spending by less than $500,000 over the 2018-2020 period.

 Costs to the Federal Reserve System reduce remittances to the Treasury, which are
 recorded in the budget as revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2255 would
 decrease such revenues by less than $500,000 over the 2018-2020 period.

 The net effect on the deficit would be insignificant. Because enacting H.R. 2255 would
 affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2255 would not significantly increase net direct
 spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
 in 2028.

 H.R. 2255 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Stephen Rabent. The estimate was approved by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
