ACTION: Notice and request for comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposes to amend its Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations to better align the FDIC’s Supervisory Appeals Review Committee (SARC) process with the material supervisory determinations appeals procedures at the other Federal banking agencies. The proposed amendments would modify the supervisory determinations eligible for appeal to eliminate the ability of an FDIC-supervised institution to file an appeal with the SARC with respect to determinations or the facts and circumstances underlying a formal enforcement-related action or decision, including the initiation of an investigation. The proposed amendments also include limited technical amendments. DATES: Written comments on the Proposal must be received by the FDIC on or before July 28, 2008 for consideration. ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to the FDIC by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • Agency Web Site: https:// www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/federal/ propose.html. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • E-mail: comments@fdic.gov. Include ‘‘Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations’’ in the subject line of the message. • Mail: Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary, Attention: Comments/Legal ESS, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20429. • Hand Delivery: Comments may be hand-delivered to the guard station located at the rear of the FDIC’s 550 17th Street building (accessible from F Street) on business days between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30393 Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and use the title ‘‘Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations.’’ All comments received will be posted without change to, https://www.fdic.gov/ regulations/laws/federal/propose.html, including any personal information provided. Comments may be inspected and photocopied in the FDIC Public Information Center, Room E–1002, 3501 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22226 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on business days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC is publishing for notice and comment proposed amendments to the Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations. The FDIC considers it desirable in this instance to garner comments regarding these amendments to the guidelines, although notice and comment is not required and may not be employed in any future amendments. The proposed amendments would be effective upon adoption and are intended to more closely align the FDIC’s Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations to the material supervisory determination appeals processes of the other Federal banking agencies. Background Section 309(a) of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–325, 108 Stat. 2160) (Riegle Act), required the FDIC (as well as the other Federal banking agencies and the National Credit Union Administration Board (NCUA)) to establish an independent intra-agency appellate process to review material supervisory determinations. The Riegle Act defines the term ‘‘independent appellate process’’ to mean a review by an agency official who does not directly or indirectly report to the agency official who made the material supervisory determination under review. In the appeals process, the FDIC is required to ensure that (1) an appeal of a material supervisory determination by an insured depository institution is heard and decided expeditiously; and (2) appropriate safeguards exist for E:\FR\FM\27MYN1.SGM 27MYN1
