                                          REPORT

                                          [To accompany H.R. 1480]

                            [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                     The Committee  on Financial Services, to whom was referred the
                   bill (H.R. 1480) to ensure access to certain information for financial
                   services industry regulators, and for other purposes, having consid-
                   ered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment   and
                   recommend  that the bill do pass.
                                       PURPOSE  AND  SUMMARY
                     H.R. 1480, the SAFE Act Confidentiality and Privilege Enhance-
                   ment Act, amends  the Secure and Fair Enforcement  of Mortgage
                   Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) to allow state and federal finan-
                   cial regulators to share information regarding consumer financial
                   services businesses that are licensed at the state level in the Na-
                   tionwide Mortgage  Licensing System and  Registry (NMLS  or the
                   System) without waiving any applicable privilege or confidentiality
                   protections provided by state and federal law.
                               BACKGROUND   AND NEED  FOR LEGISLATION
                     The NMLS   was  developed by state regulators in 2006 in order
                   to help increase uniformity, reduce regulatory burden, enhance con-
                   sumer protection, and reduce fraud by providing a single system for
                   the licensing and registration of the nation's mortgage industry.
                   The System  was  originally created to allow states to track mort-
                   gage loan  originators from state-to-state on a nationwide basis
                   while keeping licensing and oversight authority at the state level.
