     disclosures required by subsection (a), and shall--
       ``(i) state in conspicuous type size and format, the 
     following: `You are not required to complete this agreement 
     merely because you have received these disclosures or signed 
     a loan application.'; and
       ``(ii) be provided in the form of final disclosures at the 
     time of consummation of the transaction, in the form and 
     manner prescribed by this section.
       ``(C) In the case of an extension of credit that is secured

     interest is variable, or with respect to which the regular 
     payments may otherwise be variable, in addition to the other

     rules pursuant to this clause, the Board shall conduct 
     consumer testing to determine the appropriate format for 
     providing the disclosures required under this subparagraph to 
     consumers so that such disclosures can be easily understood.

     under this paragraph before paying any fee to the creditor or 
     other person in connection with the consumer's application 
     for an extension of credit that is secured by the dwelling of 
     a consumer. If the disclosures are mailed to the consumer, 
     the consumer is considered to have received them 3 business 
     days after they are mailed. A creditor or other person may 
     impose a fee for obtaining the consumer's credit report 
     before the consumer has received the disclosures under this 
     paragraph, provided the fee is bona fide and reasonable in 
     amount.
       ``(F) Waiver of timeliness of disclosures.--To expedite 
     consummation of a transaction, if the consumer determines 
     that the extension of credit is needed to meet a bona fide 
     personal financial emergency, the consumer may waive or 
     modify the timing requirements for disclosures under 
     subparagraph (A), provided that--

     further defined in regulations issued by the Board;
       ``(ii) the consumer provides to the creditor a dated, 
     written statement describing the emergency and specifically 
     waiving or modifying those timing requirements, which 
     statement shall bear the signature of all consumers entitled 
     to receive the disclosures required by this paragraph; and
       ``(iii) the creditor provides to the consumers at or before 
     the time of such waiver or modification, the final 
     disclosures required by paragraph (1).
       ``(G) The requirements of subparagraphs (B), (C), (D) and 
     (E) shall not apply to extensions of credit relating to plans 
     described in section 101(53D) of title 11, United States
