SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Community Reinvestment Act AssetSize Thresholds Under the current CRA regulations,1 ‘‘small bank’’ means a bank that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had assets of less than $1.564 billion; and ‘‘intermediate small bank’’ means a small bank with assets of at least $391 million as of December 31 of both of the prior two calendar years and less than $1.564 billion as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years.2 Pursuant to the annual inflation adjustment methodology described below, the Agencies are announcing that from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, ‘‘small bank’’ will mean a bank that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had assets of less than $1.609 billion; and ‘‘intermediate small bank’’ will mean a small bank with assets of at least $402 million as of 1 In October 2023, the Agencies and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) jointly issued a final rule to strengthen and modernize their Community Reinvestment Act regulations. See 89 FR 6574 (Feb. 1, 2024). Although the final rule was intended to take effect on April 1, 2024, the final rule has been challenged in litigation, and the final rule is currently enjoined. As such, the legacy CRA regulations (referred to in this notice as the ‘‘current CRA regulations’’) remain in effect. The text of the current CRA regulations may be found: (i) in the 2022, 2023, or 2024 bound versions of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations; (ii) in the historical version of the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) as of March 29, 2024; or (iii) in appendix G of the final rule, as published in the eCFR on February 1, 2024. 2 See 12 CFR 228.12(u)(1) and 345.12(u)(1) of the current CRA regulations. VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 December 31 of both of the prior two calendar years and less than $1.609 billion as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years.3 Calculation Methodology The Agencies’ CRA regulations establish CRA performance standards for small banks and intermediate small banks. The CRA regulations define small and intermediate small banks by reference to asset-size criteria expressed in dollar amounts, and they further require the Agencies to publish annual adjustments to these dollar figures based on the year-to-year change in the average of the CPI–W, not seasonally adjusted, for each 12-month period ending in November, with rounding to the nearest million.4 This adjustment formula was first adopted for CRA purposes by the Agencies and the OCC in 2005.5 During the 12-month period ending November 2024, the CPI–W increased by 2.91 percent. Because the year-toyear change in the CPI–W was non-zero, the Agencies are making this annual adjustment. Beginning January 1, 2025, banks that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had assets of less than $1.609 billion are small banks. Small banks with assets of at least $402 million as of December 31 of both of the prior two calendar years and less than $1.609 billion as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years are intermediate small banks. The Agencies publish current and historical asset-size thresholds on the 3 Historically, the Agencies have announced these annual inflation adjustments via rulemakings that amend the ‘‘small bank’’ and ‘‘intermediate small bank’’ definitions in their CRA regulations. See, e.g., 88 FR 87895 (Dec. 20, 2023) (implementing annual inflation adjustments for 2024). However, because the eCFR has been updated to reflect the text of the October 2023 final rule, and because the October 2023 final rule is currently enjoined, the Agencies have determined that this document (rather than a rulemaking) is the best vehicle for announcing the annual inflation adjustments for 2025. Once the litigation is resolved, the Agencies expect to resume their historical practice of announcing these annual inflation adjustments via rulemakings. The OCC adjusts the asset-size criteria for institutions that are subject to OCC-issued CRA regulations, including national banks and Federal and State savings associations, separately from the Agencies. 4 See 12 CFR 228.12(u)(2) and 345.12(u)(2) of the current CRA regulations. 5 See 70 FR 44256 (Aug. 2, 2005). Subsequently, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the agency then responsible for regulating savings associations, adopted an annual inflation adjustment methodology consistent with that of the Agencies and the OCC for its CRA regulations, previously set forth at 12 CFR part 563e. See 72 FR 13429 (Mar. 22, 2007). The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act transferred CRA rulemaking authority for Federal and State savings associations from the OTC to the OCC.
