NCLC and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition submit comments that fall into two categories. We agree with the Federal Reserve’s intention to provide greater clarity on how it will evaluate applications. But we remain opposed to the possibility of accounts for the uninsured institutions in Tier 2 and Tier 3, which will permit evasions of vitally important banking laws, create substantial risks to the financial system, and give banking privileges to institutions without banking obligations, including community reinvestment.
