Gentleman:
I strongly support the FDIC's proposal to reaise teh threshold for
the streamlined small bank CRA examination to $1 billion without regard
to the size of the bank's holding company. This would greatly relieve
the regulatory burden imposed on small banks under the current
regulation, which are required to meet the standards imposed on the
nation's largest $1 trillion banks. Community banks jwould still be
required to help meet the credit needs of their entire communities and
would continue to be so evaluated by their regularors.
Please note my support for this change.
