The OCC and FDIC announced yesterday that they have extended the 60-day comment period for their joint proposal to revise their regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act that was published in the Federal Register on January 8, 2020.  As extended by 30 days, the comment period ends on April 8, 2020.

The California Reinvestment Coalition, which opposes the proposal, issued a statement responding to the agencies’ announcement in which it called the extension “a big win.”  The Coalition claimed that the extension “is a direct result of intense pressure from our members, allies and community groups nationally, as well as Congressional representatives, who recognized that more time is needed to review a proposal that will have profound impacts on communities of color.”
