RE: RIN 3064-AC50
Dear Mr. Feldman:
I am writing to request that you to withdraw your proposed changes to
the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations. My organization,
Brooklyn Neighborhood Improvement Association, Inc., knows firsthand that
the CRA has been instrumental
in increasing homeownership, boosting economic development, and
expanding small businesses in the nation’s low- and moderate-income
communities.
The proposed FDIC rule would exempt
many of our community’s key
financial partners from the effective and productive requirements
currently in place. We oppose any increase to the threshold of what
is considered to be a small bank,and we urge the FDIC withdraw its
proposed rule Sincerely,
Ajao Salu
