Assess whether the exam response should concede a finding after a DOJ or CFPB

SITUATION CRA strategist is responsible for the exam response should in a manufactured-housing lender, using dealer-originated files with CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint as the only working extract. A DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files is what reset the timeline for this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file.

DECISION CRA strategist in a manufactured-housing lender with dealer-originated files must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint after a DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint is the one a DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files named, so Remove access or reverse the item follows for this Pricing and Credit Limits file. 2.

A manufactured-housing lender with dealer-originated files already contained a DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files before CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint arrived; no new Pricing and Credit Limits path. 4. Provenance on CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint after a DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files is broken; do not pick Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Flag any disparate-impact table CRA strategist cannot explain from CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint. 2. Test a documented exception versus a pattern a manufactured-housing lender with dealer-originated files must defend. 3.

For this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file, read CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint against a DOJ or CFPB monitor request for pricing files and write the one fact that would move the exam response should for CRA strategist.
