Abstract: The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) requires the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) (collectively, the agencies) to assess the record of banks and savings associations in helping to meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations; to take this record into account in evaluating applications for mergers, branches, and certain other corporate activities; and to make certain sections of its written evaluation of a bank’s CRA performance public . Further, the CRA requires the agencies to issue regulations to carry out its purposes. The OCC’s CRA regulation is set forth at 12 CFR part 25.
