Each Agency must provide written

assign a rating to an institution’s CRA
performance and to prepare the public
section of the written CRA performance
evaluation.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,712.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
1,712.
