Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

I oppose the proposal which would allow banks with assets above $250 million to be examined as small banks under the Community Reinvestment Act. This policy would reduce lending, investments and services in low-income communities. It is a mistake to reduce the scope and impact of an effective law, such as the CRA.
