In July 2025, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a notice of proposed rulemaking which, if finalized, would rescind the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") final rule issued in October 2023 and reinstate the CRA framework that existed prior to the issuance of that rule. Implementation of the October 2023 final rule, which was subject to an injunction and has not taken effect, would have changed how the agencies evaluate CRA performance.
