To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 908

The section requires the federal banking agency to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a request within 180 days of receiving it and to tell the applicant, giving reasons for a denial and suggesting changes that would allow approval. It provides that where the agency fails to approve or deny within the 90-day period it refers to, the request is deemed approved.

What the document actually says

“(B) notify the applicant of such decision and, if the agency denies the request-- (i) provide the applicant with the reason for such denial; and (ii) suggest changes to the request that, if adopted, would allow the agency to approve such request.”

That sentence, in plain words

The regulator must tell the applicant what it decided. If the answer is no, it must give the reason. It must also suggest changes that would make the answer yes.

What this is about

The regulator has 180 days to decide. The text also names a 90 day period. If it does not answer in that time, the request counts as approved.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
