MHP submitted formal comments today to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which regulates most federally-chartered banks, raising concerns about proposed changes to federal Community Reinvestment Act regulations. MHP voiced strong objection to a proposed one-size-fits-all approach to CRA.
