FRB: Press Release -- Revisions to Regulation B published -- December 11, 1997

Release Date: December 11, 1997

For immediate release
The Federal Reserve Board today announced publication of revised regulations under
the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Regulation B, to implement legislation creating a
legal privilege for the results of "self-tests" that creditors voluntarily conduct to
determine the level of their compliance with the Act. The Department of Housing and
Urban Development is issuing a substantially similar regulation under the Fair
Housing Act.
The revisions are effective January 30, 1998.
The self-testing privilege applies only if the creditor takes appropriate corrective
action to address possible discrimination found in the self-test.
