E-Sign Compliant EmailFrom the Commentary to the Rule (emphasis)
Page(s) 16912. Electronic delivery. The three-business-day period provided in § 1026.19(e)(1)(iv) applies to methods ofelectronic delivery, such as email. For example, if a creditor sends the disclosures required under § 1026.19(e) via email on Monday, pursuant to § 1026.19(e)(1)(iv) the consumer is considered to have received the disclosures on Thursday, three business days later. The creditor may, alternatively, rely on evidence that the consumer received the emailed disclosures earlier. For example, if the creditor emails the disclosures at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, the consumer emails the creditor with an acknowledgement of receipt of the disclosures at 5 p.m. on the same day, the creditor could demonstrate that the disclosures were received on the same day. Creditors using electronic delivery methods, such as email, must also comply with § 1026.37(o)(3)(iii), which provides that the disclosures in § 1026.37 may be provided to the consumer in electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable provisions of the E-Sign Act. For example, if a creditor delivers the disclosures required under § 1026.19(e)(1)(i) to a consumer via email, but the creditor did not obtain the consumer’s consent to receive disclosures via email prior to delivering the disclosures, then the creditor does not comply with § 1026.37(o)(3)(iii), and the creditor does not comply with § 1026.19(e)(1)(i), assuming the disclosures were not provided in a different manner in accordance with the timing requirements of § 1026.19(e)(1)(iii).

When disclosing a construction-permanent loan separately, if the interest rate may adjust at the time of conversion to the permanent phase (i.e., based on an index), the permanent phase is disclosed as an adjustable rate even if the interest rate will then remain fixed for the life of the permanent loan and will require an ARM payment change notice at least 60 days prior to conversion.

Disclosure of Product
If there is a final balloon payment that includes principal, it is not counted for purposes of determining the duration of the “Interest Only” payment period.
Page 61-62
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
For a combined construction/permanent disclosure, the “Interest Only” payment period is disclosed as the full term of the construction phase, plus any additional interest only period in the permanent phase. There is no balloon payment at the end of the construction phase if a construction-permanent loan is disclosed as a single transaction.
Page 61-62
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
For construction/permanent loans with a single consummation (with combined or separate disclosures), if the interest rate for the permanent phase is not known at consummation, the Product for the permanent phase is an Adjustable Rate product, as the interest rate may increase after consummation.

Similarly, if the interest rate for the permanent phase is known but is different from the interest rate of the construction phase, the Product for the permanent
phase is a Step Rate, as the interest rate will change after consummation and the change is known.
Page 62
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Any disclosures that would accompany the applicable Product would also apply, such as disclosure of the duration of the introductory rate period, the AP Table or the AIR Table.

If the permanent loan has an adjustable rate and separate disclosures are provided, the rate disclosed for the permanent phase is the fully-indexed rate.
If the permanent loan has a fixed rate that is not known at consummation, it is treated as an adjustable rate, and if separate disclosures are provided, the rate disclosed for the permanent phase is the fully-indexed rate.

On a combined construction/permanent disclosure the first column in the Projected Payments table reflects the interest only payment during the construction phase and if the construction phase is less than one year, the first column also reflects the amortizing payments, and mortgage insurance and escrow payments, if any, for the permanent phase. The interest only payment is calculated using the Appendix D assumptions.

The creditor has the option to disclose any construction reserve account established by thecreditor as either a separate line item or togetherwith the construction costs. If a reserve account isdisclosed as a separate line item, the labeling ofthe reserve account needs to meet the “clear andconspicuous” standards.
