SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Elsewhere in today’s Federal Register, OTS is publishing a final rule revising its CRA rule effective immediately. That final rule revises the definition of ‘‘community development’’ to include activities to revitalize and stabilize distressed or underserved, nonmetropolitan middle-income areas and designated disaster areas. It also makes a technical change to the lettering of the definitions in the CRA rule to conform to that used in the CRA rules of the other Federal banking agencies. To help savings associations meet their responsibilities under the CRA and to increase public understanding of the CRA regulations, OTS, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have previously published guidance in the form of questions and answers about the CRA regulations. That guidance is intended to provide the informal views of agency staff for use by examiners and other agency personnel, financial institutions, and the public, and is E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM 12APN1
