The FDIC is proposing to promulgate a regulation that would clarify the insurance coverage of funds subject to transfer or withdrawal through the use of stored value cards and other nontraditional access mechanisms. This proposed rule is a revision of a proposed rule published by the FDIC in April of 2004 (the ``First Proposed Rule''). See 69 FR 20558 (April 16, 2004). The purpose of the revised proposed rule (the ``Second Proposed Rule'') is to address certain issues raised by commenters in response to the original proposal.

The new subsection would promote accuracy and consistency by insured depository institutions in reporting ``deposits'' for inclusion in an institution's assessment base. Also, the new subsection would provide guidance to the public about the insurance coverage of funds underlying nontraditional access mechanisms.
