Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
The CRA has been instrumental in engaging banks and lending
institutions with the community and providing funds for affordable
housing. I urge you not to allow banks with assets over $250 million to
be examined as small banks. This would reduce incentives for banks to
lend in their communities and would restrict low income housing
production.
