The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to
encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the
communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods. It was enacted by the Congress in 1977 (12 U.S.C. 2901)
and is implemented by Regulation BB (12 CFR 228). The regulation was revised
in May 1995.
The CRA requires that each depository institution's
record in helping meet the credit needs of its entire community be evaluated
periodically. That record is taken into account in considering an institution's
application for deposit facilities.
A copy of an institution's CRA evaluation may
be obtained directly from the institution or Reserve Bank.
The federal bank regulators use the following
four performance levels to rate an institution's performance under CRA:
| O |
= |
Outstanding |
| S |
= |
Satisfactory |
| NI |
= |
Needs to improve |
| SN |
= |
Substantial noncompliance |

The inclusion on the list of institutions that are scheduled to undergo

whether the institution will be examined in that quarter. Reserve Banks
may need to defer a planned examination or conduct an unforeseen examination
because of scheduling difficulties or other circumstances.
