Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
As someone active in the field of community development, I oppose
the FDIC's proposal to allow banks with assets above $250 million
to be examined as small banks under the Community Reinvestment Act.
This policy would reduce lending, investments and services in low-income
communities
