New RHS Dashboard is now on Support Site (New feature for RHS customers only)
We're proud to announce the release of the new RHS Dashboard! We've added this new feature for RATA Hosted Services (RHS) Administrators, giving you the ability to log on to the RATA Support website and see a complete overview of your registered users currently within RHS. Currently this is only available on the Support website, but in October with the submission release, it will be available directly within Comply. The first panel on the dashboard displays the User Statistics for your organization. On the first row you'll see two circular graphs depicting the Number of Registered Users vs the Maximum Number of Users Available, as well as Number of Online Sessions vs Concurrent Sessions Available. These graphs will automatically change colors as you get closer to your
MSA/MD and County Changes for the 2024 Reporting Year
On January 10th, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), in conjunction with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), announced that changes to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on July 21, 2023, were being adopted for the 2024 reporting year. This update also incorporates the Connecticut County-Equivalent changes published by the US Census Bureau to the Federal Register on June 6, 2022. The regulators did not do the industry any favors by announcing the adoption of these changes 10 days into the reporting year. All commercial geocoders were caught off guard by the sudden change, and are currently working to bring these changes in line for geocoding purposes, but to

CFPB Releases Preliminary 2023 HMDA Peer Data
We have now released the Preliminary 2023 HMDA Peer Data. The CFPB released the "preliminary" 2023 peer data file on March 25th. For some reason, they release this data without the Transmittal File that tells us who each reporter is. RATA then has to download the file, link up the Transmittal information from last year based on the LEI number with any institutions that match, and then look up any institution's LEI info on the ones that don't match. This year that happens to be about 500 institutions that we have to look up manually. The number of lookups is higher than usual this year because they lowered the exemption thresholds and more institutions were drawn into submitting HMDA data than in previous years. Again, keep in mind this is not the official final version of the peer
Upcoming Comply RHS system maintenance
In preparation for the upcoming busy months of January and February, the Comply RHS environment will be down this upcoming weekend on Saturday, December 30th, for extended maintenance to update all installations to the new 23.01 version and roll out additional servers to handle the expected increased demand.
We do not expect any problems with the rolling out of new equipment, however, due to the nature of the process, we cannot give a firm estimate of time the system will be down, but don't expect it will be more than one work day.
