The Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has decided to establish the FDIC Advisory Committee on Community Banking (``the Committee'').

The Committee will review various issues concerning community banks that may include, but are not limited to, the latest examination policies and procedures, credit and lending practices, deposit insurance assessments, insurance coverage issues, and regulatory compliance matters, as well as any obstacles to the continued growth and ability of community banks to extend financial services in their local markets in the current market environment. The Chairman certifies that the establishment of this advisory committee is in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the FDIC by law.
