Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
As a provider of affordable housing to low-income families, we are
opposed to any increase to the threshold of what is to be considered a
"small bank". The proposed FDIC rule to raise the small bank threshold
from $250 milion to $1 billion will exempt our small bank lenders from
the effective and productive requirements currently in place. We ask
that you please withdraw your proposed rule.
