As explained in their announcement, the CFPB released an updated Consumer Handbook on Adjustable Rate Mortgages (CHARM) as well as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the anticipated discontinuation of LIBOR, including proposing examples of replacement indices that meet Regulation Z standards. Additionally, the Bureau issued a number of FAQs on other important LIBOR transition topics that do not require amendments to Regulation Z.
