Title: Community Reinvestment Act Regulation (12 CFR 25) 
Abstract: OCC, together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, proposed revising certain provisions of its rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). This rulemaking would address the regulatory burden imposed on smaller banks by revising the eligibility requirements for CRA evaluation under the lending, investment, and service tests. The rulemaking would add a new community development test for banks with at least $250 million and less than $1 billion in assets. This rulemaking would also revise the definition of the term "community development" to include affordable housing and revitalization and stabilization in underserved rural areas and designated disaster areas and revise the regulation to address the impact on a bank's CRA rating of evidence of discrimination or other illegal credit practices.
