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.
The FDIC's proposal is tantamount to telling these institutions that
they no longer need make any effort to provide capital to low and
moderate income communities.
