Intermediate Small Bank Community
Development Test
§ ll.26(c)(4)–1: When evaluating an
Intermediate Small Bank’s community
development record, what will
examiners consider when reviewing the
responsiveness of community
development lending, qualified
investments, and community
development services to the community
development needs of the area?
A1: When evaluating an Intermediate
Small Bank’s community development
record, examiners will consider not only
quantitative measures of performance,
such as the number and amount of
community development loans,
qualified investments, and community
development services, but also
qualitative aspects of performance. In
particular, examiners will evaluate the
responsiveness of the bank’s community
development activities in light of the
bank’s capacity, business strategy, the
needs of the community, and the
number and types of opportunities for
each type of community development
activity (its performance context).
Examiners also will consider the results
of any assessment by the institution of
community development needs, and
how the bank’s activities respond to
those needs.
An evaluation of the degree of
responsiveness considers the following
factors: The volume, mix, and
qualitative aspects of community
development loans, qualified
investments, and community
development services. Consideration of
the qualitative aspects of performance
recognizes that community
development activities sometimes
require special expertise or effort on the
part of the institution or provide a
benefit to the community that would not
otherwise be made available. (However,
‘‘innovativeness’’ and ‘‘complexity,’’
factors examiners consider when
evaluating a large bank under the
lending, investment, and service tests,
are not criteria in the intermediate small
banks’ community development test.) In
some cases, a smaller loan may have
more qualitative benefit to a community
than a larger loan. Activities are
considered particularly responsive to
community development needs if they
benefit low- and moderate-income
individuals in low- or moderate-income
geographies, designated disaster areas,
or distressed or underserved
nonmetropolitan middle-income
geographies. Activities are also
considered particularly responsive to
community development needs if they
benefit low- or moderate-income
geographies.
