REGULATION X — REAL ESTATE CONSTRUCTION CREDIT

Statement o f Borrower with respect
to credit which is not
“ Real Estate Construction Credit”

To the Addressee:

In a circular letter dated October 17, 1950, sample copies of statement of borrower forms,
designed to meet the requirements of Regulation X, were enclosed.
Subsequently, a number o f inquiries have been received as to what constitutes compliance
with the provisions o f the first sentence of Section 4 (c) of Regulation X. It provides that no
registrant shall extend any credit unless he is satisfied, and maintains records which reasonably
demonstrate on their face whether such credit is or is not real estate construction credit. I f the
registrant is satisfied that the credit is not real estate construction credit, the provisions o f this
sentence may be met by the retention by the registrant of any o f the following:
(1) A statement of the borrower, on the short form (X -l) enclosed in our letter o f Octo­
ber 17, 1950, or contained in a loan application or any letter or other writing, which is signed
by the borrower and states the facts indicated in the second sentence o f Section 4 ( c ) ;
(2) Any correspondence, memoranda, loan applications or other documents o f any kind,
whether or not originating in connection with the credit in question, which on the basis o f a
reasonable interpretation show that the credit is not real estate construction credit; or
(3) A written endorsement or rubber stamp legend, placed upon the credit instrument
or upon other papers in connection with the credit and signed by the registrant or a responsible
officer of the registrant, stating that he is satisfied that the credit in question is not real estate
construction credit.

Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
