Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
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.
I am very familiar with the positive influence these audits can have
on ensuring that banks follow the CRA guidelines.
Thank you
