WASHINGTON The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) announced today that 117 savings associations are scheduled for Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examinations during the fourth quarter of 2002.
The schedule reflects OTSs implementation of Section 712 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which extends the CRA examination cycle from approximately every two years to four or five years for institutions with aggregate assets of not more than $250 million and previous CRA examination ratings of Satisfactory or Outstanding respectively. The dates listed are subject to change. The schedule is also posted on the Internet at http://www.ots.treas.gov. Results of CRA exams are posted monthly on OTSs web site.
The results of the exams announced today will be posted as they become available.
