Subject: Regulatory Publication and Review Under the Economic
Growth and Regulatory Paper
Dear FDIC Staff:
Thanks for this opportunity to comment. My comments are based upon
my thirty plus years experience in the banking and lending industries.
1. Reg C, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, needs to be abolished. It
has never produced any meaningful results, yet it has cost millions of
dollars in man-hours to keep up with this required paperwork. These
statistics are of no use anymore.
2. The Community Reinvestment Act needs to be abolished. It too serves
no meaningful purpose anymore. Report after report is issued by the
FDIC showing everyone in compliance. Very rarely are their any examples
of institutions not in compliance. Rather than make everyone submit to
this useless paperwork, you should deal with the very, very few that are
a problem. This also will save millions in useless work.
