SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is proposing a rule on the process for validation and approval of credit score models by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (together, the Enterprises). The proposed rule would define a four-step process for an Enterprise to validate and approve credit score models, including: (1) the solicitation of applications from credit score model developers, (2) an initial review of submitted applications, (3) a Credit Score Assessment by an Enterprise, and (4) an Enterprise Business Assessment. FHFA requests public comment on all aspects of this proposed rule.

DATES: FHFA will accept written comments on the proposed rule on or before March 21, 2019.
