Subject: Proposed changes to CRA
I am writing
to oppose the proposed changes to the CRA regulations that would
increase
the size of banks considered to be "small
banks". This proposal would exempt some of our community's most
critical partners from the effective and productive requirements
that are currently in place and reduce the resources available for
meeting the needs of low and moderate income neighborhoods. I urge
the FDIC to withdraw this proposed rule.
