Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
The Community Reinvestment Act is a critical component to Florida’s
affordable housing and community development solutions. The realm of CRA
activities is still not being effectively addressed and by increasing
the threshold, there will be an increase in the un-met needs of the
community! I oppose any increase to the threshold of what is considered
to be a small bank. The proposed FDIC rule would exempt many (actually,
the majority) of our community’s critical partners from the effective
and productive requirements currently in place. I urge the FDIC to
withdraw its proposed rule.
