Mary Beth was doing some research on recent regulation amendments to prep for one of her many presentations, and she had one of those "if only" moments that leads to change. "If only," she told us, "we had a concise list of recent amendments and proposals on the 'table of contents' pages of the regulations in our Alphabet Soup section, research could be so much easier!"

We played with the idea, and we like our first results. Take a look at our tables of contents for Regulation E and Regulation Z to see for yourself.

If you look at some of the individual sections of Regulation E in Alphabet Soup, you'll see another change we've begun to implement. Subparagraphs within paragraphs within sections are being reformatted to make them easier to find and to read. The page for ยง205.20 is a good example.

And if you look at Supplement I to Regulation E (the Official Staff Interpretations), you'll see a third enhancement designed to make navigating the long page easier. There's a list of links that will take you directly to the section of the Supplement that you're looking for.

Let us know what you think!

I noticed the Reg Z one yesterday and think it is great! Just checked the other two changes and they are very helpful. Thanks.

Love it! This would be very useful for auditing and for risk assessment purposes.

I do have one question tho. Hasn't the format of the FCRA changed? Didn't it use to have links to the sections? Am I crazy? (probably the best answer)

Our current FCRA document is a PDF file with embedded bookmarks. If your PDF reader can display a navigation aid for bookmarks, you'll be able to click a bookmark to get directly to the sections you need. http://www.bankersonline.com/tools/fcra_0111.pdf
