Subject: CRA - Technical Amendments re: MSAs
The Community Reinvestment Act is a critical component to our community's
affordable housing and community development solutions. We 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. We urge FDIC to withdraw its proposed rule.
