This was a commitment above and beyond what was normally expected, but one which community bankers were happy to fulfill. Community banks stepped-up during the crisis despite the many challenges and frustrations they encountered. They should be commended for what they are doing, treated fairly and equally, encouraged to do more, and not penalized for successfully performing their essential function.\n\nThe Independent Community Bankers of Americas Legislative and Regulatory Agenda Contained in their Community Focus 2020: The Community Bank Agenda for Expanding Economic Opportunity\n\nCBAI joins the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in supporting a more efficient system of regulation, unbiased laws governing the financial sector, a safer and more secure business environment, and more efficient agricultural policies to support the nations economic growth and development in every corner of the country.\n\nAdditional Meaningful Regulatory Relief for Community Banks\n\nCommunity bankers seek additional regulatory relief including on several fronts (i.e., BSA reform, CTRs, and SARs) to permit them to better serve their customers and communities while proudly fulfilling their reasonable responsibility to identify and report illicit actors. \n\nThe Community Bank Position on Credit Unions and Their Expanded Powers\n\nCredit unions have long-since strayed from their founding purpose of serving individuals of modest means and with a common bond. They blatantly abuse their competitive advantages and are virtually indistinguishable from tax-paying community banks. Credit union acquisitions of community banks is a recent and disturbing trend that negatively impacts all taxpayers. This escalation of credit unions abusing of their tax-exemption should prompt Congress to Wake Up and act - NOW. This abuse is an existential threat to community banks and the communities they serve.\n\nThe Community Bank Position on the Farm Credit System and its Expanded Powers\n\nThe Farm Credit System (FCS) has long-since strayed from its founding purposes, blatantly abusing its competitive advantages against community banks. The FCS is the only GSE that competes directly with community banks. This blatant and continuing discrimination against community banks must end and FCS competitive advantages must be reined-in, and the playing field leveled for community banks.\n\nThe Federal Reserves Role in Payments System Improvement\n\nA fast and secure payments system is the very foundation of financial services and economy and must be modernized. The payments system must not be monopolized by The Clearing House and its 25 large bank owners that endangered our financial system and the entire economy during the financial crisis. Community banks, small businesses and consumers must rely on the Federal Reserve to provide access to a safe and secure payments system. The Federal Reserve must be supported in its development of the FedNow Service to ensure that all participants have access to a real-time system on a fair and impartial basis. \n\nModernizing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)\n\nThe modernization of the CRA must enhance the ability of community banks to serve their communities and must not impose any additional regulatory burden. All financial service providers must be subject to the CRA to provide a complete picture of every financial institutions performance in serving their communities. A modernization of the CRA that does not encompass credit unions, Farm Credit System lenders and Fintechs (including the OCCs Special Purpose National Banks) will be a sham. All the banking regulators must agree on joint final rule to modernize the CRA.\n\nSafe Harbor for Banking Cannabis-Related Businesses\n\nWithout taking a position on the legalization of cannabis, a safe harbor from federal sanctions for financial institutions that choose to serve legally-compliant cannabis-related business in states where cannabis is legal is a matter of public safety. CBAI has expressed its support in Congress for the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act which provides this legal safe harbor. \n\nSound Principles for GSE Reform \n\nThe seemingly endless and ongoing period of government ownership and control of Fannie and Freddie must come to an end. GSE reform remains critically important to the future of the housing market and the U.S. economy. Community banks depend on the GSE for direct access to the secondary market. The GSEs must provide a steady and reliable source of funding for home mortgage lending for lenders of all sizes and through all economic cycles. This is particularly critical to maintaining liquidity when the markets are experiencing financial stress. \n\nThe Federal Home Loan Banks\n\nMost community banks are members and shareholders of their regional Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The FHLBs provide short-term liquidity, long-term funding, mortgage-related products, and other financial services in order to help their members provide affordable credit to the local communities they serve. The regional structure, special functions, and unique purpose of the FHLBs must be recognized and maintained by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). As the Administration and Congress consider reforming the housing finance system, care must be taken not to harm the FHLBs. They must remain healthy, stable, and reliable sources of funding for their members.\n\nAgriculture and Rural America\n\nA vibrant rural economy is vital to Americas prosperity. The multi-year Farm Bill provided a strong safety net for farmers and ranchers including adequate price-protection programs and enhanced USDA-guaranteed farm and business loan programs. These programs must be protected from cuts or any adverse changes that would discourage farmer and rancher participation or undermine private-sector delivery. \n\nEnhanced Data, Cyber and Payment Card Security (Data Security)\n\nEnhanced security standards should be enforced through a tiered system where the more restrictive rules and are imposed on the largest and most critical members of the financial system and economy where their lapses pose the greatest threat to the largest number of consumers. Core data security principals in standards enacted by legislation and regulations must include the complete cost of data breaches being borne by that party that caused the breach; all participants should be subject to verifiable Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-like data security standards; and any new data security standard proposals should ensure that community banks are not overburdened with redundant standards. \n\nThe Community Bank Positions on Emerging Issues\n\nCustomer Data Sharing - CFPB\n\nCommunity banks are financially sound and take great care in protecting consumer privacy. Non-bank entities must be held responsible for ensuring the safety of the customer information they are accessing and be able to satisfy the liability for any financial harm which they cause community banks and their consumers.\n\nSmall Business Data Collection - CFPB\n\nSmall business lending data clearly suggests fair lending is not a problem at community banks as they treat their customers honestly and fairly. The regulatory burden of the collection and reporting requirements fall disproportionately hard on community banks, and Section 1071 should either be repealed, or community banks should be provided with a meaningful exception.\n\nReporting Beneficial Ownership Information - FinCEN\n\nProvisions in the NDAA in the 116th Congress shifted the burden of collecting and reporting beneficial ownership to FinCEN. This transfer must be accomplished expeditiously.\n\nFinally Address the Risks of Too-Big-To-Fail Banks and Financial Firms to Protect Our Financial System, the Economy, and American Taxpayers from Future Bailouts\n\nThe financial crisis, taxpayer bailouts, and subsequent recession was caused by the misconduct of the nations largest banks and financial firms. These megabanks have proven, at great cost to American taxpayers, that they cannot be effectively managed, supervised or disciplined. They are clearly too-big-to-change, too-big-to-fail and must be downsized.\n(House and Senate)\n\n\nLegislation and Regulation -\n\nH.R. 2186 - Beginning Agriculturalist Lifetime Employment Act of 2021 (BALE Act) (All Sections) Regarding increasing the percentage of USDA loan guarantee for beginning farmers or ranchers or socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers (House)\n\nH.R. 1977 - Enhancing Credit Opportunities in Rural America Act (ECORA) (All Sections) Regarding exempting from taxes interest earned on loans from farm real estate and rural mortgage loans (House)\n\n\nLetters -\n\nComment Letter to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network regarding: Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirements - Document Number FINCEN-2021-0005 and RIN 1506-AB49 (FinCEN)\n\n\nAction Alerts -\n\nAction Alert regarding Presidents proposal for the IRS to collect and report account flows on bank customers (House and Senate)\n\n\nMiscellaneous - \n\nModernization of the CRA (House)\n\nMinding the Tax Gap Ways and Means Committee hearing regarding proposal for the IRS to collect and report account flows on bank customers (House)", "Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA),Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", null, 60000, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T12:39:06.930000-04:00"], [2635291, "1ca04796-2bca-40aa-a73b-07d2ea462057", "Q2", "DUTKO WORLDWIDE, LLC", 12868, "PURECIRCLE USA INC.", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Discuss benefits of stevia", "Executive Office of the President (EOP),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", null, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T13:47:17.860000-04:00"], [2635330, "a2ef1aaf-5a19-4536-b9e3-5c88e2bb39eb", "Q2", "DUTKO WORLDWIDE, LLC", 12868, "ACCENTURE FEDERAL SERVICES LLC", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Monitor Food and Nutrition programs, Financial Modernization, and Farm Bill implementation.", "Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Education, Dept of,Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA),Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board,Food & Drug Administration (FDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Justice, Dept of (DOJ),Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC),SENATE,Treasury, Dept of", 40000, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T14:07:52.750000-04:00"], [2635371, "64094b4b-e3b0-46d3-8060-363751dec746", "Q2", "WATSON GREEN LLC (FORMERLY WATSON/MULHERN, LLC)", 318356, "UNITED EGG PRODUCERS", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "FDA food safety regulations, federal nutrition policies, FSIS egg product regulation, USDA Foods purchasing", "Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Food & Drug Administration (FDA)", 5000, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T14:39:25.623000-04:00"], [2635389, "cca832df-7875-4f6c-8116-0a29b1e49a26", "Q2", "STRATEGIC MARKETING INNOVATIONS", 60550, "CAL POLY CORPORATION", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Federal research programs", "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", 30000, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T15:08:43.743000-04:00"], [2635421, "6429a4de-14fa-4d2d-acba-1318f4932c34", "Q2", "STRATEGIC MARKETING INNOVATIONS", 60550, "MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Precision agriculture, and biofilms research and rural programs", "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", 30000, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T15:30:14.113000-04:00"], [2635461, "d7f26b51-8c21-411e-b96e-8eeb50dd9e2d", "Q2", "STRATEGIC MARKETING INNOVATIONS", 60550, "UNIVERSITY OF MAINE", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Funding for university agriculture research", "Energy, Dept of,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Office of Management & Budget (OMB),SENATE", 20000, null, 0, 0, "2021-07-12T15:47:43.760000-04:00"], [2635519, "6e9926d1-8699-4f21-8eae-d8622c0a0757", "Q2", "FRESH PRODUCE ASSOCIATION OF THE AMERICAS", 15463, "FRESH PRODUCE ASSOCIATION OF THE AMERICAS", 2021, "second_quarter", "AGR", "Section 8e Inspection Process.
