Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
The Community Reinvestment Act is a critical component to Arlington's
(MA)
affordable housing and community development solutions. I oppose
any
increase to the threshold of what is considered to be small bank.
The
proposed FDIC rule would exempt many of our community's critical
partners
from the effective and productive requirements currently in place.
I urge
FDIC to withdraw its proposed rule.
Sincerely,
