Finance & BankingEnvironmentOther

Summary

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) completed an environmental review and determined that a new rule or policy will not cause significant harm to the environment. This means the agency can move forward with the rule without preparing an extensive environmental impact study.

Key Points

  • 1The CFPB reviewed potential environmental effects of a new financial regulation and found no major environmental concerns
  • 2This decision allows the agency to skip the lengthy environmental review process and implement the rule more quickly
  • 3The rule likely affects financial companies, banks, or consumer lending practices rather than environmental industries
  • 4This is a procedural step that clears the way for the actual financial regulation to take effect
  • 5The public can review the CFPB's reasoning in the official docket if they want more details about the environmental assessment
