Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

I oppose the FDIC's proposal to 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.

The CRA requirement has been an impetus to numerous transactions we have been the beneficiaries of as a community development agency. Many of our products are targeted to low income neighborhoods, blighted communities, and are on average higher risk ventures. Without incentives under the CRA regulations I am certain few if any of the smaller institutions would be agressively seeking these opportunities. We still have a long way to come to overcome the loaning inequities of our predecessors and any reduction in obligation will only perpetuate these inequities once again.
