## Potential Uses

The CRA lookback window is a hot topic going into a presidential election year. One natural question building on the opening of the window is: *what rules might fall into the window and could be subject to the CRA next year?*

This information may be valuable for different stakeholders in different ways:

1. Industry observers and other regulated entities may want to be aware of what rules might or might not be durable given an administration change;
2. Advocacy groups might want to know how to advocate for or against such policies;
3. Federal policymakers can have a better sense of what policies may or may not carry over given a change in administration;
4. Journalists may want to focus on what highly salient policies might be reversed depending on the results of the election. They also may want to know more broadly how many rules fall into the window and from which agencies.
