Abstract:
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B prohibit discrimination in any aspect of a credit transaction because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or other speci¬fied bases. To aid in implementation of this prohibition, the statute and regulation also subject creditors to various mandatory disclosure requirements, notification provisions, credit history reporting, monitoring rules, and recordkeeping requirements. These requirements are triggered by specific events and disclosures must be provided within the time periods established by the Act and regulation. There are no required reporting forms associated with Regulation B. To ease the burden and cost of complying with Regulation B (particularly for small entities), the Federal Reserve provides model forms, which are appended to the regulation.

Short Statement:
On March 15, 2011, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 13896) requesting public comment on proposed amendments to Regulation B. The Federal Reserve proposes to amend the model notices in Regulation B to include the disclosure of credit scores and information relating to credit scores if a credit score is used in taking adverse action. These proposed amendments reflect the new content requirements in section 615(a) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that were added by section 1100F of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The comment period expired on May 16, 2011. The Federal Reserve received five comments from industry groups that specifically addressed paperwork burden. On July 15, 2011, a notice of final rulemaking was published in the Federal Register adopting the amendments largely as proposed, with mandatory compliance by August 15, 2011 (76 FR 41590).
