HOME MORTGAGE DISCLOSURE ACT INFORMATION SHEET

THE HOME MORTGAGE DISCLOSURE ACT (HMDA) REQUIRES LENDING INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE ANNUAL PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF THEIR HOME MORTGAGE AND HOME IMPROVEMENT LENDING ACTIVITY. DISCLOSURES ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE NOT ONLY AT THE INSTITUTIONS' OWN OFFICES, BUT ALSO AT A CENTRAL DEPOSITORY IN EACH METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA (MSA). THESE CENTRAL DEPOSITORIES SERVE ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS. IN ADDITION TO EACH LENDING INSTITUTION'S INDIVIDUAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, AGGREGATE DATA TABLES COVERING THE LENDING ACTIVITY OF ALL INSTITUTIONS SUBJECT TO HMDA IN A PARTICULAR MSA ARE MADE AVAILABLE AT THE CENTRAL DEPOSITORY FOR THAT MSA. CD-ROM USERS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS AND AGGREGATE TABLES FOR EACH MSA NATIONWIDE.

AS IN THE PAST, TO CATEGORIZE CENSUS TRACTS BY INCOME WE RELY ON THE 1990 CENSUS TO DETERMINE THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME FOR EACH MSA, AND FOR CATEGORIZING APPLICANTS OR BORROWERS WE RELY ON INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR AN UPDATED ESTIMATE OF THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME FOR EACH MSA.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF CENTRAL DEPOSITORIES

CENTRAL DEPOSITORIES ARE ASKED TO KEEP THE DATA TABLES TOGETHER IN ONE LOCATION TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE. THE CENTRAL DEPOSITORIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR: RECEIVING AND STORING THE HMDA DATA AS FORWARDED FROM THE FFIEC; RETAINING THE DATA FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR A PERIOD OF 5 YEARS; AND MAKING THE DATA AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION DURING REGULAR OFFICE HOURS AND ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO OBTAIN OR MAKE COPIES OF THE DATA AT THE COPYING RATE NORMALLY CHARGED.

THE DEPOSITORY PERFORMS A VALUABLE PUBLIC SERVICE BY PROVIDING, ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, A PHYSICAL LOCATION FOR STORAGE OF THE HMDA DATA. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE HMDA DATA MAY BE DIRECTED IN WRITING TO THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, FEDERAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS EXAMINATION COUNCIL, 2000 K ST, NW, SUITE 310, WASHINGTON, DC 20006.
