Dear Chairman Powell, Chairman McWilliams, and Comptroller Otting:
We, the undersigned organizations, are offering our thoughts regarding major areas of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) reform now because we understand that a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) could be issued as soon as the end of September or in October. The CRA is a vital law that has leveraged trillions of dollars of loans and investments in low- and moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods because its examination and review process features public accountability and transparency. One major reason for CRA’s success is that it has fostered collaborations among banks, community organizations, and public sector agencies that have developed lending and investing programs and products.
Like you, however, we believe that CRA needs an update to take into account changes in the banking industry and to improve data and evaluation methods. At the same time, it is vitally important to proceed carefully and to refrain from enacting reforms that would undercut CRA’s effectiveness.
The one ratio must not become the determinative measure
Some of us have attended recent meetings convened by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and have also reviewed the OCC brochure, Community Reinvestment Act (CRA): Opportunity for Modernization. The one ratio described in the brochure is of great concern to us. The ratio will compare “historical CRA activity compared with domestic deposits” and will contribute to a “presumptive rating.” The ratio will be calculated for each of the bank’s assessment areas and for the overall bank’s performance.
As we have stated in our comment letters regarding the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), if a metric of this nature is determinative of the CRA rating either at the assessment area or overall, it will likely distort CRA activity in a way that is not responsive to local needs. In order to boost the numerator of the ratio, banks will likely favor large dollar community development activity or purchases of mortgage backed securities (MBS). In response to these concerns, the OCC said in the meetings that it will limit any transaction to 10 percent of total CRA activity; this limit is supposed to guard against over-reliance on large deals or secondary market activities. However, these limitations still leave room for heavy use of large deals or secondary market activities since activities approaching 10 percent of CRA activity still translate into a large dollar amount for a loan or an investment. In addition, a bank can fulfill its CRA responsibilities by a number of large deals at 9 percent each of total CRA activity. We remain concerned that small transactions meeting local needs such as microloans for very small businesses or mortgages for LMI borrowers, particularly in lower cost areas of the country, will receive less attention from banks.
The one ratio also has the potential to interfere with sound business practices. If empirical benchmarks for passing ratings are set too high during economic downturns, banks could feel pressured to seek large deals when smaller loans or other financial assistance could better support communities and avoid over-leveraging banks. Different agency heads under various administrations could also adjust ratios that promote particular policies but do not take local credit needs into account. CRA examination regimes have never involved establishing certain ratios corresponding to certain ratings because reducing evaluations into one or a few ratios does not allow banks flexibility to meet needs commensurate with their capacity and business models. Since exams now use a number of criteria, a bank can compensate for lackluster performance on one criterion with better performance on another criterion. A one ratio reduces flexibility of this nature and constrains activity by favoring larger deals. Concerns over possible credit allocation and constraining activity prompted Senator Proxmire, the architect of CRA, to remove a ratio similar to the one ratio from the original draft of the CRA statute.
A one ratio approach will make CRA exams less transparent and will deter public input. If the one ratio replaces existing metrics such as percent of loans to LMI borrowers or communities, it will be harder for community organizations and members of the public to understand which needs banks are responding to and which ones they are neglecting. A one ratio expressed as a percentage does not inform the reader of an exam of basic information such as the number and percent of home or small business loans or how many branches or deposit accounts a bank is offering to LMI people and communities. Lacking this information, a member of the public cannot intelligently comment on a bank’s performance in his or her area or cannot compare an examiner’s analysis of publicly available loan data to his or her own. A major purpose of the law, public input on a bank’s responsiveness to needs is thwarted by a one ratio approach that replaces the current performance measures.
The OCC says performance context analysis would still be used in a metric-based system, but it would be difficult to figure out how this analysis could be executed. Lacking information on the mix of retail and community development activities, an examiner or member of the public could not use performance context analysis to judge how responsive to community needs the activity mix is or whether the bank is fully using its capacity or business model to respond to the needs.
Assessment areas must retain areas with branches and include others with significant business activity
We are pleased that the OCC and the other agencies are contemplating changes to assessment areas on CRA exams that also preserve areas with branches as assessment areas. Research has shown that branches increase safe and sound home mortgage lending and small business lending to LMI borrowers and communities. While retaining areas with branches, the OCC has proposed establishing assessment areas for geographical areas from which banks are gathering significant amounts of deposits via the internet and other non-branch means. This is a positive proposal since it will capture additional geographical areas in which banks are conducting significant business activities and in which banks’ CRA performance should be assessed.
We also suggest that the agencies consider adding geographical areas in which banks are making significant amounts of retail loans but are not gathering deposits to ensure that banks with different business models and product mixes are being assessed in geographical areas in which they are offering high volumes of products. The agencies should also carefully consider any thresholds such as percent of deposits or loans for designating assessment areas so that they capture the great majority of a bank’s business activity. Reforms to assessment areas should also increase emphasis on small metropolitan areas, rural counties, Native American reservations, and economically distressed areas.
Clarifying activities that count with a non-exhaustive list with a focus on LMI people and communities
We appreciate that the agencies seek to clarify the activities that count on CRA exams so that confusion and uncertainty do not deter the financing of innovative and responsive community development activities. Development of a list of specific activities is desirable but it must not be an exclusive list that prevents the financing of new activities that are responsive to unforeseen or new community needs.
We are pleased that the Comptroller stated that the focus must remain on LMI borrowers and communities. Consideration of activities in LMI communities should promote integration and economic diversity but should not finance displacement of LMI households or very small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods.
The threshold for the definition of a small business should not be raised to $5 million in revenues from the current threshold of $1 million. Since the vast majority of small businesses have revenues under $1 million, raising the threshold by that extent will likely divert lending activity away from small businesses that need it the most.
Care must be taken in developing any proposal that uses multipliers as a means to motivate increased activity. We understand that the agencies are considering multiplying the dollar amount of equity investments by a factor of two in order to motivate banks to increase their investment activity. This proposal could inadvertently reduce the number of investments since some banks may conclude they can earn the same amount of credit on a CRA exam if they reduce their investments by half. The objectives of increasing certain types of financing are better addressed through adjusting weights assigned to the various component tests.
Mergers must continue to receive rigorous scrutiny and public input
We are also concerned that one-ratio based examinations will over-simplify the complexities of CRA performance and will result in agencies rubber stamping merger approvals as long as banks hit certain one ratios and ratings. In addition to past CRA performance, agencies are required by law to consider the future impact of mergers on banks’ abilities to meet the convenience and needs of communities. A one-ratio based exam could result in agencies belittling the convenience and needs factor as long as banks pass muster with their one ratios. Likewise, public input regarding a merger’s impact on convenience and needs could also receive little agency consideration under a CRA examination regime focused on the one ratio.
Conclusion
The agencies need to consider carefully the comments received on the ANPR in developing a proposed rule. Most comments opposed the one ratio as a determinative measure because it would frustrate banks’ ability to meet local needs consistent with safety and soundness. At the same time, we appreciate that the agencies are seeking to increase clarity on CRA exams in response to ANPR comments. We also reiterate our view that CRA must be focused on LMI people and communities, must not expand consideration of philanthropic or other activities that do not focus on LMI people or communities, and must not result in CRA exams that exempt more banks from evaluations of community development financing or the provision of bank branches and services. We also want to remind the agencies of our recommendations for enhancing CRA that include collecting and disseminating data on community development financing, reforming CRA ratings, including affiliates on exams, and including examination of activity in underserved counties and census tracts. Finally, if the agencies cannot agree on specific changes to the regulation and have too many unanswered questions, the agencies should issue another ANPR instead of a NPR.
