Sec. 4279.58  Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

    In accordance with title V of Public Law 93-495, the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, 
neither the lender nor the Agency will discriminate against any 
applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, 
marital status or age (providing the applicant has the capacity to 
contract), or because all or part of the applicant's income derives from 
a public assistance program, or because the applicant has, in good 
faith, exercised any right under the Consumer Protection Act. The lender 
will comply with the requirements of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act as 
contained in the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation implementing that 
Act (see 12 CFR part 202). Such compliance will be accomplished prior to 
loan closing.
