The Commission is also proposing to amend the rule to: provide that the Commission will issue an order every five years adjusting for inflation the dollar amount tests; exclude the value of a person's primary residence from the test of whether a person has sufficient net worth to be considered a ``qualified client;'' and add certain transition provisions to the rule.

The FDIC originally promulgated the Statement of Policy for Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (SOP) in December 1998. The FDIC, in 2007, issued a clarification to the SOP based on the 2006 amendment to Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act which addressed institution-affiliated parties (IAPs) participating in the affairs of Bank Holding Companies, or Savings and Loan Holding Companies. The FDIC is restating that previous change to the SOP in a slightly modified form, and addressing certain other issues that have arisen in the FDIC's interpretation of the policy since its original publication. The FDIC is clarifying what the FDIC views as a complete expungement of a conviction, and the definition of de minimis offenses.
