SITUATION A branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP raised whether the exam response should concede a finding for second-review underwriter at a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic. Underwriting exception log by branch is incomplete relative to that question, so Hold remains live until the file is complete.

DECISION Second-review underwriter in a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using underwriting exception log by branch after a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Underwriting exception log by branch reads as Remove access or reverse the item once a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP is lined up to the same Fair Lending population. 2. Underwriting exception log by branch is closer to Temporary compensating control after a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP; Remove access or reverse the item would over-claim this Pricing and Credit Limits extract. 3. Approve a documented exception is still live in underwriting exception log by branch for second-review underwriter in a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic. 4. Underwriting exception log by branch is missing the fact second-review underwriter needs after a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP; stop this Fair Lending close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Flag any disparate-impact table second-review underwriter cannot explain from underwriting exception log by branch. 2. Test a documented exception versus a pattern a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic must defend. 3. Match the adverse-action language to the facts in underwriting exception log by branch. 4. For this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file, read underwriting exception log by branch against a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP and write the one fact that would move the exam response should for second-review underwriter.

Lead with the Fair Lending option underwriting exception log by branch can support after a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for second-review underwriter in a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Fair Lending option on the exam response should, then the evidence in underwriting exception log by branch, then the action for second-review underwriter - Hypothesis scorecard against underwriting exception log by branch: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for second-review underwriter in a credit-card issuer changing line-assignment logic - What changes the exam response should if a branch that stopped taking applications in one ZIP is later withdrawn
