As a community banker, I strongly endorse the proposal to increase
the asset size of banks eligible for the streamlined CRA examination.
While I strongly believe in the purpose of this reg, I strongly believe
that the nature of the reg, and the compliance burden the overall
collective regulatory weight brings needs to be reduced in every
practical way.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
