The Bureau's guidance was issued without public notice or comment and without any study of its impact on consumers or small businesses. I want to thank the ranking member for authoring the minority report that states: ``H.R. 1737 does not alter regulated entities' obligations under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act or the CFPB's examination or enforcement activity pursuant to ECOA.'' This is nothing more than a continuation of H.R. 1737. I also want to repeat my thanks to my colleague on the other side of the aisle, Mr. Perlmutter, for helping me with a successful 332-96 vote in favor of that bill. This amendment is almost identical to it, and I would appreciate the ongoing support on behalf of consumers not just in New Hampshire, but all across the country. Mr. Chairman, I would again thank the chair, Mr. Crenshaw, as well as Mr. Hensarling, those Members who voted in favor, 332-96, on H.R. 1737. I urge a ``yes'' vote on this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Hampshire (Mr. Guinta). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
