Res. 66 and S.J. Res. 32, which would repeal this critical rule designed to bring much-needed transparency to small business lending.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of the final rule recently announced by the CFPB will have widespread benefits. By increasing transparency of pricing, terms and conditions, and action taken on applications, 1071 data is likely to curb excessive pricing, reduce abusive terms, and increase access to credit for traditionally underserved small businesses. Lenders will also realize benefits in terms of improved ability to gauge their competitive position in the market and opportunities for them to identify untapped market segments and serve new customers. Furthermore, the estimated compliance costs are minimal when compared to the net income lenders generate from originating small business loans.<\/p>\n<p>The final rule covers banks, credit unions, online lenders, farm credit system lenders, government lenders, and nonprofits, as well as a wide range of lending products, including agricultural credit. It is likely to result in increased lending to underserved businesses, including farms, as lenders will now annually report on their lending broken down by race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation of the business owners. Improvements to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data in 1990 and 1993 corresponded with a 70% increase in conventional home purchase lending to Black borrowers, and a 48% increase in lending to Latinx borrowers, from 1993 to 1995.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0Furthermore, a study by Citigroup estimates that fair access to lending for Black-owned small businesses alone would have resulted in $650 billion in additional business revenue per year, as well as created an additional 6.1 million jobs per year.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>\u00a0This shows how increases in lending to underserved small businesses benefit the entire economy by enabling small businesses to expand and create additional job opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The statutory purpose of Section 1071 is to facilitate enforcement of fair lending laws and enable communities, governmental entities, and creditors to identify business needs and community development opportunities. There is ample evidence of ongoing discrimination in small business lending. NCRC studies have found that White applicants were given significantly better information about business loan products, particularly information regarding loan fees and during the Paycheck Protection Program.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>\u00a0Studies conducted by the Federal Reserve have found that Black-owned businesses are less likely to be approved for financing compared with White-owned firms.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Minority Business Development Agency found that businesses owned by people of color received lower loan amounts than White-owned firms, even after controlling for the sales level of firms.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a>\u00a0There have been numerous lawsuits regarding discrimination against farmers of color, and the number of black farmers has decreased by 95% from 1910 to 2017.<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\"><sup>[6]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0In 1910, Black farmers accounted for 14% of all farmers, in 2017 this was down to just 1.3%. Apparent discrimination in small business lending is not limited to race. One study found that while LGBTQI+ businesses were equally likely to apply for financing, they were less likely to receive it. The same report also noted that LGBTQI+ owned businesses were more likely than non-LGBTQI+ businesses to report their denial was due to lenders not approving financing for \u201cbusinesses like theirs\u201d (33 percent versus 24 percent).<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides the critical goal of rooting out discrimination in small business lending, implementation of 1071 will greatly increase understanding of the small business landscape with significant benefits for lenders, government agencies, and researchers.\u00a0Lenders will now have a great data set that will allow them to assess demand and how small business needs are being served locally, including identifying untapped markets, which will greatly enhance their ability to make sound business decisions as it relates to expansion plans and development of products. This data will also allow lenders to make comparisons to other lenders in their markets, which will aid in measuring compliance risk and correcting potential issues that could come up in fair lending reviews. Besides costs, which this letter will cover how estimated costs are minimal, only lenders with potential fair lending compliance issues should be concerned about improvements to small business lending data, and protecting discriminatory lending practices is an unacceptable policy position favored by no one.<\/p>\n<p>Government agencies will be able to use 1071 data to identify additional opportunities to create new, or tailor existing, programs to advance their small business lending policy objectives. For example, government agencies often create programs that specifically target businesses owned by people of color and women, such as those that reserve government contracts, or provide grants. Government agencies could use 1071 data to improve existing programs or create new ones to meet the needs of these business owners.<\/p>\n<p>For researchers, 1071 data will be similar to HMDA data that is regularly used in academic studies on the mortgage industry. This data will greatly expand the ability of academic research to interpret the landscape of small business lending, which will also benefit lenders and government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Costs associated with compliance are minimal when factoring in the income lenders generate from originations. The CFPB employed data analysis and surveys of lenders to develop estimates of one-time start-up costs, annual fixed costs, and variable costs determined by the number of applications received. The CFPB grouped depository institutions into three categories based on the number of covered small business loans they originated, and came up with estimates of net income that each category of depository lender generates from originating small business loans.<a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a>\u00a0As the charts below show, using costs calculated by the CFPB and minimum estimates of net income from originations, one time and ongoing costs of compliance from deposit taking lenders range from just .1% to .9% of annual net income from originations of small business loans alone.<a href=\"#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a>After the\u00a0one time\u00a0costs, estimated ongoing costs drop to just .06% to .4% of annual net income these institutions receive from just originating small business loans.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>One Time Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-140555 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs.png\" alt=\"Table 01\" width=\"2444\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs.png 2444w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-300x44.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-1024x151.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-768x113.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-1536x226.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-2048x302.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/01-one-time-costs-18x3.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2444px) 100vw, 2444px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Ongoing Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140557\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost.png\" alt=\"02 Table\" width=\"2452\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost.png 2452w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-1024x190.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-768x142.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-1536x284.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-2048x379.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02-Ongoing-Cost-18x3.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2452px) 100vw, 2452px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Combined One Time and Ongoing Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140560\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined.png\" alt=\"03- Table\" width=\"2448\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined.png 2448w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-1024x178.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-768x134.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-1536x267.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-2048x356.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03-Combined-18x3.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2448px) 100vw, 2448px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is less information currently available for non-depository lenders, such as online lenders, so the Bureau was unable to provide specific estimates of ongoing costs and net income from originations for these lenders. However, the Bureau was able to estimate the\u00a0one time\u00a0costs for non-depositories, and determined that online lenders and merchant cash advance providers are similar to Type C depository institutions, and the rest of the non-depositories are similar to Type B.<a href=\"#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\"><sup>[10]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0When applying the estimated\u00a0one time\u00a0costs for non-depositories, and the estimates of ongoing costs and minimum estimates of net income of Type B and C depository institutions, you can see that costs to non-depositories are also expected to be minimal. The charts below show that the combined one time and ongoing costs range from just .2% to 1.4% of estimated annual net income from only originating small business loans. After the\u00a0one time\u00a0costs, which are estimated to be higher for non-depositories since many of them have not previously had to do this type of reporting, the ongoing costs drop to just .1% to .4% of estimated annual net income from originating small business loans.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>One Time Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140561\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs.png\" alt=\"04 Table\" width=\"2456\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs.png 2456w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-1024x292.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-768x219.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-1536x438.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-2048x584.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/04-One-Time-costs-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2456px) 100vw, 2456px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ongoing Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140562\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs.png\" alt=\"05- Table\" width=\"2454\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs.png 2454w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-1024x214.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-768x161.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-1536x322.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-2048x429.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05-Ongoing-Costs-18x4.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2454px) 100vw, 2454px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Combined One Time and Ongoing Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140565\" src=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined.png\" alt=\"06- Table\" width=\"2454\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined.png 2454w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-1024x265.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-1536x397.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-2048x529.png 2048w, https:\/\/ncrc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/06-Combined-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2454px) 100vw, 2454px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Costs to borrowers will also be minor. The CFPB defined a set of costs per application as variable costs and noted that these costs will likely be passed on to applicants. However, the CFPB estimates these costs to be minimal as well, ranging from just $7.50 to $32 in expected additional closing costs.<a href=\"#_ftn11\" name=\"_ftnref11\">[11]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the implementation of Section 1071 is unlikely to reduce small business lending or discourage lenders from establishing relationships with businesses that present sound lending opportunities. The tendency of smaller banks to voluntarily report small business and small farm data suggests that data disclosure helps rather than hinders them as they assess marketplace opportunities and comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). In 2018, 157 or 22% of the 700 institutions reporting CRA small business loan data were smaller banks voluntarily reporting the data.<a href=\"#_ftn12\" name=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a>\u00a0HMDA data was also enhanced in 2004 to require reporting of price information along with additional data points such as lien status. In 2004, 8,121 lenders reported HMDA data and by 2007 the number of reporters increased by 765 to 8,886. Over time, therefore, the number of HMDA reporters grew, which is inconsistent with the argument that data reporting and\/or additional reporting requirements causes a decrease of lending or lenders.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for considering our views regarding the CFPB\u2019s final 1071 rule and our opposition to H.J Res. 66 and S.J. Res. 32. Implementation of Section 1071 is a great opportunity to reduce ongoing disparities in access to small business credit. Addressing these disparities will make urban and rural economies more vibrant, and bring substantial benefits to all stakeholders, including lenders.
