the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), 12 U.S.C. 2801-2810. 
Regulation C requires depository institutions that meet its asset size 
jurisdictional thresholds to maintain data about home loan applications 
(the type of loan requested, the purpose of the loan, whether the loan 
was approved, and the type of purchaser if the loan was later sold), to 
update the information quarterly, and to report the information to 
their primary federal regulator annually. Regulation C applies to 
insured State nonmember banks supervised by the FDIC if those banks 
have assets exceeding a dollar threshold which is determined annually 
pursuant to a method required by 12 U.S.C. 2808(b) (for 1997 that 
number is $28 million). Banks may use a document known as the Loan 
Application Register (LAR) to comply with the information requirement. 
The FDIC uses the information to assist its examiners in determining 
that the banks it supervises comply with applicable provisions of HMDA. 
The data permit regulators and the public to detect possible instances 
of unlawful discrimination in connection with certain housing-related 
credit.
