    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.
