Section 713 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-102) directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to study and report to the Congress on the default rates, delinquency rates, and profitability of lending activities undertaken in conformance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA). The Board was directed to make the report and supporting data available to the public.

The Board asked the 500 largest retail banking organizations to voluntarily complete a comprehensive survey focusing on their CRA-related lending activities and prepared a report summarizing survey responses. The report and supporting data are available here in PDF (Adobe portable document format--free Adobe Acrobat Reader) for public information. The survey instrument is also available here in PDF for public information.
