On July 31, 2026, the OCC issued Bulletin 2026-35 announcing an interagency notice of proposed rulemaking under the Community Reinvestment Act. This was the clearest formal OCC rulemaking development identified in the July 19 to August 2, 2026 period.
What changed
The OCC, with other banking agencies, moved forward with a proposed CRA rule. The search results do not provide the detailed rule text, but they confirm a new interagency proposal was issued in this window.
Compliance perspective
Banks should track the proposal closely and map any planned changes to assessment areas, data collection, and CRA program management. Comment preparation may also be worthwhile for institutions with material branch, community development, or small business lending exposure.
