in which you are buying or selling;

    (b) Information concerning local custom and practices with respect 

to charging of closing costs which relate to either your sale or 

purchase and whether such costs are customarily paid by the seller or 

purchaser; and

    (c) Information on the local terminology used to describe the costs 

specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
