Re: RIN 3064-AC50

Dear Feldman:

It has come to my attention that that there are proposed changes currently being considered being made to the Community Reinvestment Act. As you know, these changes include raising the asset threshold defining "small banks" to $1 billion and broadening the definition of community development and activities that meet this criterion.

It is my firmly held belief that these proposed changes will dilute the efficacy and intent of the Community Reinvestment Act. I therefore oppose these changes. in providing multiple community services including affordable housing, we have established excellent working relationships with at least five local banks as a result of their participation in CRA compliance.

If 1 can provide further information on how these proposed changes will negatively impact community development and economic growth, please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Veru truly yours,

Robert M. I Howard
 Executive Director
