" DECONTROLLED AFTER sixlhrr
A U T O LOANS BY COMMERCIAL BANKS L 4 J
CHANGE IN F O R M A T OF REPORT
Effective this month, the format of the L.4.2 report on auto
loans at commercial banks has been revised to reflect simplification
of reporting procedures for respondent banks. For maturities, new
car loans are now classified as over or under 30 months, used cars as
over or under 24 m o n t h s . Loan amounts for both new and used cars are
classified as greater than or less than dealer cost. These changes
are part of a general program to facilitate data reporting, and to
update and improve the usefulness of the consumer credit data series
wherever possible.
