Community Reinvestment Act Regulations
The OCC, Board, FDIC, and OTS (collectively, ``the Agencies'') are issuing this joint final rule, which revises our rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The rule implements the statutory requirement that the Agencies consider low-cost education loans provided by the financial institution to low-income borrowers as a factor when assessing an institution's record of meeting community credit needs. The final rule also incorporates the statutory provision that allows the Agencies to consider capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures undertaken by nonminority-owned and nonwomen-owned financial institutions in cooperation with minority- and women-owned financial institutions and low-income credit unions as a factor when assessing an institution's CRA record.
Report on the Selection of Eligible Countries for Fiscal Year 2011
This report is provided in accordance with section 608(d)(1) of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, Public Law 108-199, Division D, (the ``Act''), 22 U.S.C. 7708(d)(1).
Closed Captioning of Video Programming
In this document, the Commission, via the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau), waives in part the requirement that video programming distributors (VPDs) place contact information for the pursuit of immediate closed captioning concerns and the filing of closed captioning complaints in telephone directories. Some VPDs do not use telephone directories to communicate with the public, and therefore the Bureau waives the rule in such situations, so long as the VPD makes the contact information available on its Web site or on billing statements. The waiver thus balances the goal of ensuring that consumers are readily able to locate VPD contact information, with preventing unduly burdensome compliance with the telephone directories provisions for VPDs that do not use telephone directories to communicate with the public.
