SITUATION Exam-response coordinator is responsible for notices match the actual in a bank, using thin HMDA LAR quality with HMDA LAR validity and quality edits as the only working extract. A board asking if the bank should settle a matched-pair study is what reset the timeline for this Fair Lending Redlining and HMDA Data file.

DECISION Exam-response coordinator in a bank with thin HMDA LAR quality must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using HMDA LAR validity and quality edits after a board asking if the bank should settle a matched-pair study.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1.

Exam-response coordinator cannot defend Remove access or reverse the item from HMDA LAR validity and quality edits; Temporary compensating control is what the extract actually supports after a board asking if the bank should settle a matched-pair study. 3. A board asking if the bank should settle a matched-pair study never reached the population in HMDA LAR validity and quality edits — reopen intake, do not close notices match the actual. 4. Two facts in HMDA LAR validity and quality edits after a board asking if the bank should settle a matched-pair study conflict for exam-response coordinator; hold this Redlining and HMDA Data file.
