SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The regulation that is the subject of the corrections is Regulation 
Z (12 CFR part 226), which implements the Truth in Lending Act (15 
U.S.C. 1601-1666j). The act (TILA) requires creditors to disclose 
credit terms for consumer transactions. The final rule implemented the 
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), contained in 
the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 
(Pub. L. 103-325, 108 Stat. 2160). Section 152 of the HOEPA adds a new 
section 129 to the TILA dealing with certain mortgages bearing rates or 
fees above a certain percentage or amount.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule implementing new TILA section 129 
contains errors which could be confusing and should be clarified.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on March 24, 1995, of the final 
regulation (Docket No. R-0858), which was the subject of FR Doc. 95-
7231, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 226.31  [Corrected]

    On page 15472, in the first column, in Sec. 226.31, in paragraph 
(g), in the third line, the phrase ``annual percentage yield'' is 
corrected to read ``annual percentage rate''.


Sec. 226.32  [Corrected]

    On page 15472, in the second column, in Sec. 226.32, in paragraph 
(b)(1)(iii), in the first and second lines, the phrase ``required to be 
disclosed under'' is corrected to read ``listed in''.

    By order of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System, acting through the Secretary of the Board, June 1, 1995.
William W. Wiles,
Secretary of the Board.
