Tiered Regulation and Supervision for Community Banks - 
The Independent Community Bankers of Americas Plan for Prosperity-

Outsized risks taken by Wall Street mega banks during the financial crisis.  The different/modest risks posed by community banks.  Regulations not reflecting those differences.  Regulatory burden on community banks by a 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 and 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. 

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 regarding:
Basel III original intent.
additional capital for small holding companies - modernize the Federal Reserves Policy Statement.
Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
reforming mortgage lending.
accountability in bank exams by providing an appeals process.
bank oversight and examinations - targeting risks.
annual requirement for redundant privacy notices.
consumer regulation - inclusive and accountable CFPB governance.
arbitrary disparate impact fair lending causes of action.
viability of mutual banks with new charter options.
cost-benefit analysis to justify new rules.
red tape in small business lending - burdensome data collection.
community bank mortgage servicing.
Treasury Assistant Secretary for Community Banks.
subchapter S constraints.
five-year loss carryback - support for lending during economic downturns.
risk targeting in the Volcker Rule. 

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

Enhanced Cyber, Data and Payment Card Security -
Establish a federal data security standard and notice requirement for all entities that store consumer data comparable to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) standards that apply to community banks.   Shifting the liability for all costs associated with the data breach - including fraud losses and the cost of card reissuance - to the party that caused the breach.
