Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

To the FDIC,

I strongly opposed the provision of "Community Reinvestment 12 CFR Part 345" allowing banks with assets greater than $250 million to be treated as small banks with regard to their CRA audits. This change would seriously curtail the effectiveness of CRA in the communities it is designed to serve and make things continually worse for low income people.

Do not change the size limits for CRA audits.

Thank you.
