Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

As a person currently working in a low-income community, 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 is a
very important tool to make sure that citizens have access to capital and
are not excluded from participating in the economy.
