Subject: RIN number 3064-AC50
To Whom it May Concern,
Please accept this correspondent as Farmers Bank of Portageville
support for the proposed revisions to 12 CFR 345. The proposed revisions
would raise the asset size threshold to $1 billion regardless of the
size of the holding company, add a community development activity
criterion to the evaluation process, and would allow for additional
credit due to activities in rural areas.
Farmers Bank of Portageville is located in a rural area, and we have
always prided ourselves on the involvement that we have in our local
community. The community development activity criterion would more
accurately represent our involvement in the community.
Please accept this correspondence as our support to the current FDIC
proposal.
Sincerely,
Gary P. Raney
President
