Subject: Oppose Efforts to Weaken CRA RIN number 3064-AC50

Federal Deposit Insurance Commission

Dear Federal Deposit Insurance Commission:

Despite the successes of community development locally and nationally, the banks and thrift institutions that provide the loans, services, and investments to build new homes, businesses, and community facilities may no longer have the impetus to do so if the FDIC raises the comprehensive CRA exam threshold.

I agree with the National Congress for Community Economic Development that this proposed change would have a devastating effect on affordable housing and community development investment throughout the nation, particularly in rural areas. The proposed community development criterion is not a replacement for ensuring adequate services and investment reach low- and moderate-income individuals and communities. Successful development must be targeted to lower income individuals and/or communities, not rural areas generally.

Please rescind your proposal.

Sincerely,
Kathy Moore Cowan
