Press Release
September 20, 2011

Federal Reserve Board issues final rule under
Regulation B regarding data collection
compliance requirements for motor vehicle
dealers
For immediate release
Share

The Federal Reserve Board on Tuesday issued a final rule amending
Regulation B to provide that motor vehicle dealers are not required to
comply with new data collection requirements in the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) until the
Board issues final regulations to implement the statutory requirements.
The Dodd-Frank Act amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to
require creditors to collect information about credit applications made by
women- or minority-owned businesses and by small businesses. The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must implement this
provision for all creditors except certain motor vehicle dealers who are
subject to the Board's jurisdiction. The CFPB previously announced that
creditors are not obligated to comply with the data collection
requirements until the CFPB issues detailed rules to implement the
law. The Board is amending Regulation B to apply the same approach to
motor vehicle dealers.
The final rule will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register,
which is expected shortly. The Board's notice is attached.
