The NCRC FOIA request seeks the public release of data referenced but not provided in the NPRM, including undisclosed data from a sample of over 200 exams for banks from which the agencies extrapolated critical thresholds on which CRA performance evaluations are proposed to be made. That includes all records containing an analysis or explanation for the selection of the sample of performance evaluations completed and all records and reports containing information about benchmarks used for the CRA performance measures. all records containing an analysis of or information about the threshold concept regarding a bank receiving a satisfactory or an outstanding presumptive bank-level rating if it receives that rating in \u201cjust more than 50 percent of its assessment areas, and in those areas where it holds a significant amount of deposits.\u201d NCRC is also seeking records containing an analysis of or information about the proposal that affordable housing can be defined as housing for middle-income households.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This data should have been included in the proposal to back up the claims being made by the federal regulators about the anticipated impact of the rule changes,\u201d said Alice Bodley, NCRC\u2019s Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. \u201cWe can not fully analyze the proposal and what effects it will have on low- and moderate-income communities without this data. We don&#8217;t know why the foundational information was kept out of the proposal, but the public should be able to review it before the agencies move ahead with major changes to the law.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCRC\u2019s Director of Policy and Government Affairs, Gerron Levi, is scheduled to testify today at a hearing on the proposed rule changes with the House Financial Services\u2019 Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions. Her testimony will note the missing data and urge the OCC and FDIC to extend the 60-day public comment period on the proposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The public needs adequate time to analyze the data once the FOIA request has been fulfilled,&#8221; Bodley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99196px;\"> online pharmacy <a
