REVISED PROPOSAL TO AM END REGULATION B
Proposed M odel Residential Real Estate Mortgage Loan A pplication Form
To A ll Member Banks, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of a statement issued November 19 by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System:
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System today made public a proposed model residential
real estate mortgage loan application for use under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
The Board invited comment on the proposed form through December 17.
Earlier this month the Board published for comment a proposed general revision of Regulation B, to im­
plement the 1976 Amendments to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The Amendments extend the Act’s pro­
hibitions against discrimination in the granting of credit.
At that time, the Board said that it would include in the final version of Regulation B a model residential
real estate application form, which, when properly used, would comply with the Regulation. That proposed
form, which was not then ready for publication, is included in the . . . revised proposal for amending Regu­
lation B.

Printed below is the text of the Board’s Order in this matter. Enclosed is a copy of the pro­
posed form. Comments thereon should be submitted by December 17, 1976, and may be sent to our
Bank Regulations Department.
[Reg. B ]

EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY
(Docket No. R-0031)
Revised Proposed Rulemaking

On November 8, 1976, the Board of Governors pro­
posed for comment (41 FR 49123 ) a revised version
of its Regulation B, Equal Credit Opportunity. Ap­
pendix B of that proposal contained four model credit
application forms: one for open-end, unsecured credit;
one for closed-end, secured credit; one for closed-end,
unsecured or secured credit; and one for use in com­
munity property States. In addition, the proposal stated
that the Board intends to include a model residential
real estate mortgage loan application in the final version
of Regulation B. A proposed version of that form, based
upon an application form designed by the Federal Na­
tional Mortgage Association and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, follows.
To aid in the consideration of this matter by the

Board, interested persons are invited to submit relevant
data or comments. All comments should be submitted
in writing to the Secretary, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551, to
be received not later than December 17, 1976. All sub­
mitted material should include the docket number,
R-0031. Written comments will be made available for
public inspection and copying upon request, except as
provided in §261.6(a) of the Board’s Rules Regarding
Availability of Information (12 CFR 261).
This notice of proposed rulemaking is published pur­
suant to the Board’s authority under §703(a) of the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691(b)).
Board of Governors, November 16, 1976.

With the exception of the enclosed form, the complete text of the Board’s revised proposal
appears in the Federal Register of November 8, 1976; a copy of the Federal Register excerpt will
be made available by our Bank Regulations Department upon request. Any inquiries regarding this
matter may be directed to that department.
