The Dodd-Frank Act has helped to remove some cost disadvantages<br />

for community banks. Dodd-Frank has forced large and complex<br />

banks and BHCs to better internalize the costs that their failure may have<br />

upon the broader financial system, and therefore has helped to reduce<br />

any funding cost advantages that such banks may have held in the past.<br />

Moreover, banking agencies continue to take steps to lessen and simplify<br />

the regulatory burden on community banks, while directing the burden<br />

on those banks whose riskiness Dodd-Frank has sought to reduce.<br />

In implementing the provisions of Dodd-Frank, the Administration<br />

has taken important steps to ensure that regulatory requirements are<br />

implemented in an efficient manner. The banking agencies have begun<br />

and are continuing to tailor regulatory requirements to reflect the different<br />

level of financial risk that community banks pose. Some steps<br />

include allowing for longer exam cycles for smaller banks that are well<br />

capitalized, streamlining the regulatory reports that community banks<br />

must file, and continuing to develop a simpler and shorter regulatory<br />

reporting procedure for community banks. Furthermore, the banking<br />

agencies continue to consider the written and oral comments made<br />

by community banks in the banking agencies’ nationwide meetings,<br />

working to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden under the Economic<br />

Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act. The Administration<br />

strongly supports these ongoing efforts by the banking agencies to fairly<br />

tailor the regulatory requirements for community banks and avoid any<br />

unnecessary and inefficient burdens.<br />
