Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

I do not support 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. These communities need the support of local financial institutions and this CRA requirement ensures they get this support.
