Statement from Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen on the
Joint Release of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR)
May 5, 2022

WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen released the following
statement on the joint release of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) related to the
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the
O ice of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
“It is encouraging to see regulators working jointly in their approach to update and
strengthen the Community Reinvestment Act – the first comprehensive update in more than
twenty five years. The CRA was established in 1977 in response to discrimination in lending,
and it remains essential for promoting financial inclusion for all Americans in our banking
system. Modernizing the CRA will help financial institutions to better meet the credit needs of
the communities in which they do business, including in low and moderate income
neighborhoods. We are committed to working with the banking industry and all other
stakeholders to ensure that the credit and investment needs of our communities are being
met.”
