Subject: CRA proposed change comment
The Community Reinvestment Act is a critical component to our
communitys affordable housing and community development solutions. We
oppose any increase to the threshold of what is considered to be a small
bank. The proposed FDIC rule would exempt many of our communitys
critical partners from the effective and productive requirements
currently in place. We urge FDIC to withdraw its proposed rule.
