Gentlemen Re RIN 3064-AC50:
I strongly support the proposed rule changing the Community Reinvestment Act
regulations. In my opinion, the current regulation has not had any
significant effect on rural communities. The current CRA regulation create
unnecessary burden on our financial institutions and is counter productive.
I live in a small rural community and have been a volunteer for a non-profit
housing development corporation for the past ten years. I have learned that
financial institutions and private developers get more incentive for rural
development by programs such as tax credit programs the burdensome CRA
legislation. Please adopt this rule.
Respectfully,
Philip J. Marrie
