Overview & Key Components of the Proposed Interagency CRA Rules

The banking regulators have jointly issued a proposal to "strengthen and modernize" the CRA regulations and examination process. The last substantive changes were 27 years ago and the 619-page proposal outlines important changes in key CRA measurements for assessment area evaluations and community development activities that qualify for consideration. Various tests for retail services, community development services, and small bank performance standards will be reviewed.

The chance to significantly overhaul banking regulations comes around perhaps once in a generation — or maybe twice. On May 11, 2022 the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released a proposed set of overhauled regulations under the Community Reinvestment Act, the 1977 law intended as a countermeasure against discriminatory lending (AKA redlining). The comment period ends August 5, 2022.

What potential impacts are likely for YOUR bank, based on your size of being evaluated as a small, intermediate or large bank?
