Tiered Regulation and Supervision for Community Banks - 

The Independent Community Bankers of Americas Plan for Prosperity-

Outsized risks taken by TBTFs during the financial crisis - different/modest risks posed by community banks - regulations reflecting those differences - regulatory burden on community banks - one-size-fits-all approach - disproportionate burden of banking laws and regulations on community banks  

Credit unions, Farm Credit System lenders and other non-bank financial service providers not subject to the same laws and regulations as community banks - unlevel playing field - a significant competitive disadvantage for community banks

Independent Community Bankers of Americas (ICBA) Plan for Prosperity - a regulatory platform - community banks able to thrive and contribute to local economies

Address excessive, redundant and costly regulations - regulatory accountability - community banks dedicating resources to promoting economic growth - steady increase in regulations over many decades - regulatory threats to community banks and their communities.

The Plan for Prosperity:
Basel III original intent.
accurately identify Systemic Risk
additional capital for small holding companies - modernizing the Federal Reserves Policy Statement
relief from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules
robust housing market - reform mortgage lending
community bank mortgage servicing
accountability in bank exams -  providing a workable appeals process
bank oversight and examinations - better target risk
risk targeting in the Volker Rule
consumer regulation and inclusive and accountable CFPB governance
arbitrary disparate impact fair lending causes of action
viability of mutual banks - new charter and capital options
rigorous and quantitative cost-benefit analysis - justify new rules
 red tape in small business lending - eliminating burdensome data collection
credit for low and moderate income customers and American agriculture 
subchapter S corporation constraints
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) option for community banks
Bank Qualified (BQ) bond issuer limitations
five-year loss carryback to support lending during economic downturns.

Tiered regulatory system based on size and risk profile - banking law, rule, and regulation distinguishing and appropriately regulating community banks. 

Data, Cyber and Payment Card Security (Data Security)-

Wide-scale data security breaches at national retail chain stores and other entities - community banks reissuing credit and debit cards at a significant cost - community banks on the frontline of defending against cyber security threats and strong guardians of the security and confidentiality of customer information - central to maintaining public trust and the key to long-term customer retention

Core data security principals - cost of data breaches borne by that party that caused the breach - all participants in the payment system (including merchants) should be subject to Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-like data security standards - a national data security breach and notification standard should replace the current patchwork of state laws - and any new data security standards should ensure that community banks are not burdened with having to implement and comply with new regulations to achieve the same superior results they currently attain - community banks reliance on third party service providers - delicate balance between securing/sharing appropriate customer information

Credit Union Taxation and Expansion of Powers -

Credit unions distinguishable from community banks - grown to control a significant share of the banking services market - outdated original business model - straying from founding purpose of serving individuals of modest means and with a common bond - same financial services as community banks - justification for federal tax-exempt status in exchange for serving their original mission - credit unions paying their fair share of income taxes - credit unions adhering to a common bond or operating within a well-defined local community, neighborhood or rural district - tax subsidy and level the playing field between credit unions and tax-paying community banks

Credit unions similarity to other types of mutually owned financial institutions - savings banks (SB) and savings and loans (S&L) - the exemption for SBs and S&Ls repealed by Congress in 1951 - (reason) - active competition with taxable institutions [community banks] 

Credit union expansion of commercial lending powers - increasing the percentage of cap on member business lending (MBL) - loan growth at the expense of tax-paying community banks - fundamental altering the exclusive member-focused character of credit unions - condition for their original tax exemption

Applying Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requirements to credit unions - same asset size distinction as banks and thrifts - the same Call Report filing requirements for credit unions as those imposed on community banks

Support and cooperation of NCUA the cheerleader regulator of credit unions - expansion of membership proposal - weaken the common bond requirement - disregarding Congressional limits - end around Congress.
