Submitting
the LAR
22
Officer’s Certification and
Contact Information
An officer of your institution must review
the completed LAR and certify it is
accurate before submitting it to your
processing agency. Certification is
made on the transmittal sheet that will
accompany the loan/application register.
A checklist to assist the officer in the
review preceding certification appears
in this Guide on page 24. A checklist for
the person completing the LAR appears
on the next page.
Verify that the transmittal sheet also
includes the name, e-mail address,
and telephone and facsimile numbers
of a person at your institution who can
answer questions about the report. Also
verify that the transmittal sheet gives a
record count of the total number of line
entries on that particular submission. (If
your institution has to resubmit data for
any reason, the record count on the
transmittal sheet must correspond to
that submission.) A completed transmittal
sheet must be part of your HMDA
package whether you are required to
submit the loan data in automated format
or are permitted to submit it in
paper form.
Remember that if your institution keeps
separate registers for different
branches or for different types of loans,
all registers must be consolidated and
submitted to your processing agency in
a single package with one transmittal
sheet.
