    In making a Stafford loan on which interest benefits are to be paid, 
a lender shall comply with the equal credit opportunity requirements of 
Regulation B (12 CFR part 202). With regard to Regulation B, the 
Secretary considers the Stafford loan program to be a credit-assistance 
program authorized by Federal law for the benefit of an economically 
disadvantaged class of persons within the meaning of 12 CFR 202.8(a)(1). 
Therefore, under 12 CFR 202.8(d), the lender may request a loan 
applicant to disclose his or her marital status, income from alimony, 
child support, and separate maintenance income, and spouse's financial 
resources.
