I. Background
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
supplemented periodically. See
Interagency Questions and Answers
Regarding Community Reinvestment, 66
FR 36620 (July 12, 2001) (2001
Interagency Q&As).
Today, OTS is issuing questions and
answers to provide additional guidance
for savings associations. OTS proposed
this guidance on April 12, 2006. (70 FR
18807). Today’s final guidance is
identical to the proposed OTS guidance
and very similar to final guidance
jointly issued by the OCC, Board, and
FDIC on March 10, 2006 (71 FR 12424).
However, as with OTS’s proposal,
today’s final guidance only includes
questions and answers that pertain to
OTS’s revised definition of ‘‘community
development’’ and certain other
provisions of the CRA rule that are
common to all four agencies. It does not
include questions and answers that
pertain to additional revisions the OCC,
Board, and FDIC made to their CRA
rules in their August 2, 2005 rulemaking
(70 FR 44256), since OTS has not
adopted those revisions to date. Other
minor wording differences between
OTS’s guidance and that of the other
agencies were highlighted in the
preamble to OTS’s April 12, 2006
notice.
As in the 2001 Interagency Q&As, the
questions and answers are grouped by
the provision of the CRA regulations
that they discuss and are presented in
the same order as the regulatory
provisions. As a result of technical
changes made to the four federal
banking agencies’ CRA rules (70 FR
15570 (March 28, 2005)) and recent
revisions to OTS’s CRA rule, some of
the numbering in the 2001 Interagency
Q&As no longer corresponds to the
appropriate sections of the revised
regulation. However, in today’s
questions and answers, if a reference is
made to an existing question and
answer, the number of the existing
question and answer, as published in
the 2001 Interagency Q&As, is given,
even if the old reference does not
