Federal Reserve Board Revises Model Adverse Action Notice |
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) has adopted amendments revising the model adverse action forms contained in Appendix C of Regulation B, which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The revisions incorporate changes to the Fair Credit Reporting Act adopted by Congress on September 30, 1996. Those changes require that additional information be disclosed to consumers about facts obtained from a credit report when adverse action is taken on a credit account or credit application.
The attached Federal Register notice contains the FRB's final rule, effective April 30, 1998.
For further information, please contact Jane Jensen Gell, Senior Attorney, or Pamela Morris Blumenthal, Staff Attorney, in the FRB's Division of Consumer and Community Affairs on (202) 452-3667. You may also contact:
- James K. Baebel, Senior Review Examiner in the FDIC's Division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs, on (202) 942-3086 (e-mail Jbaebel@fdic.gov) or

Legal Division, on (202) 898-3573 (e-mail Ajohnson@fdic.gov).
