Dear Mr. Feldman:

I strongly oppose the proposed rule RIN 3064-AC50 changing the Community reinvestment Act regulations. This change will undue years of support for rural areas such as the one I live in. Only because of the current CRA rule has there been significantly more investment into both affordable housing and economic development than would have occurred otherwise. As a rural American, we cannot afford any additional disinvestment of our scarce resources.

If there are any further questions about my comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at 715-355-0753. Thank you.

Sincerely,
L. Paul Jaeger
