Abstract: The OCC is proposing to revise the OCC’s regulation implementing the CRA based on the regulations adopted by the OCC, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) (the agencies) on May 4, 1995 (1995 rule) to replace the CRA rule adopted on June 5, 2020, (June 2020 rule) with a revised 12 CFR part 25 and a reinstated 12 CFR part 195. This proposal would rescind the June 2020 rule and would align the OCC’s CRA regulations with those of the FDIC and Board. Aligning the agencies’ CRA regulations would facilitate the interagency rulemaking process by setting a level playing field thereby enabling the agencies to work more effectively on modernizing the CRA.
