Non-Discrimination Regulations

Summary

The three "independent" federal banking agencies, the FRB, FDIC and NCUA, have regulations prohibiting discrimination within the agencies on the basis of handicap or disability

Both the OCC and the OTS are bureaus within the Department of Treasury and are governed by that department's non-discrimination regulations

Treasury also has a regulation prohibiting discrimination by its employees

Only the FRB has a general "equal opportunity" regulation

Subpart H of the FRB regulation is comparable to the FDIC and NCUA regulations

Only the OTS has a specific regulation covering nondiscrimination by financial institutions

The issue is handled by the other agencies in various places and is covered elsewhere under the topic Lending Activities
