SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Section 2222 of EGRPRA 1 requires
that not less frequently than once every
10 years, the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC) 2 and the agencies 3 conduct a
review of their regulations to identify
outdated or otherwise unnecessary
regulatory requirements imposed on
insured depository institutions. In
conducting this review, the FFIEC or the
agencies will (a) categorize their
regulations by type and (b) at regular
intervals, provide notice and solicit
public comment on categories of
regulations, requesting commenters to
identify areas of regulations that are
outdated, unnecessary, or unduly
burdensome.4
EGRPRA also requires the FFIEC or
the agencies to publish in the Federal
Register a summary of the comments
received, identifying significant issues
raised and commenting on those issues.
It also directs the agencies to eliminate
unnecessary regulations, as appropriate.
U.S.C. 3311.
FFIEC is an interagency body empowered
to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and
report forms for the Federal examination of
financial institutions and to make recommendations
to promote uniformity in the supervision of
financial institutions. The FFIEC does not issue
regulations that impose burden on financial
institutions and, therefore, we have not separately
captioned the FFIEC in this document.
3 The FFIEC is comprised of the OCC, Board,
FDIC, National Credit Union Administration
(NCUA), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB), and State Liaison Committee. Of these, only
the OCC, Board, and FDIC are statutorily required
to undertake the EGRPRA review. The NCUA
elected to participate in the first and second
EGRPRA reviews, and the NCUA Board again has
elected to participate in this review process.
Consistent with its approach during the first and
second EGRPRA reviews, NCUA will separately
issue documents and requests for comment on its
rules. The CFPB is required to review its significant
rules and publish a report of its review no later than
five years after they take effect. See 12 U.S.C.
5512(d). This process is separate from the EGRPRA
process.
4 Insured depository institutions are also subject
to regulations that are not reviewed under the
EGRPRA process because they were not prescribed
by the agencies. Examples include rules for which
rulemaking authority was transferred to the CFPB
and anti-money laundering regulations issued by
the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network, among others. If, during the
EGRPRA process, the agencies receive a comment
about a regulation that is not subject to the EGRPRA
review, we will forward that comment to the
appropriate agency.

Finally, the statute requires the FFIEC to
submit to Congress a report that
summarizes any significant issues raised
in the public comments and the relative
merits of those issues. The report also
must include an analysis of whether the
agencies are able to address the
regulatory burdens associated with such
issues or whether those burdens must be
addressed by legislative action.
II. The EGRPRA Review’s Targeted
Focus
The EGRPRA regulatory review
provides an opportunity for the public
and the agencies to evaluate groups of
related regulations and to identify
opportunities for burden reduction.5 For
example, the EGRPRA review may
facilitate the identification of statutes
and regulations that share similar goals
or complementary methods where one
or more agencies could eliminate the
overlapping regulatory requirements.
Alternatively, commenters may identify
regulations or statutes that impose
requirements that are no longer
consistent with current business
practices and may warrant revision or
elimination.
The EGRPRA review also provides the
agencies and the public with an
opportunity to consider how to reduce
the impact on community banks or their
holding companies. The agencies are
aware of the role that these institutions
play in providing consumers and
businesses across the nation with
essential financial services and access to
credit. The agencies are especially
concerned about the impact of
requirements on these smaller
institutions. The agencies understand
that when a new regulation is issued or
a current regulation amended, smaller
institutions may have to devote a
significant amount of their resources to
determine if and how the regulation will
affect them. Through the public
comment process, the EGRPRA review
can help the agencies identify and target
regulatory changes to reduce impacts on
those smaller institutions.
Burden reduction must be compatible
with consumer protection and the safety
and soundness of insured depository
institutions, their affiliates, and the
financial system as a whole. Burden
reduction also must be consistent with
the agencies’ statutory mandates, many
of which require the issuance of
regulations. EGRPRA recognizes that
effective burden reduction may require
statutory changes. Accordingly, as part
of this review, we specifically ask the
public to comment on the relationship
among burden reduction, regulatory

E:\FR\FM\01AUP1.SGM
supra note 1.
01AUP1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 148 / Thursday, August 1, 2024 / Proposed Rules
requirements, policy objectives, and
statutory mandates. We also seek
quantitative data about the impact of
rules.
We note that the agencies must
consider regulatory burden each time an
agency proposes, adopts, or amends a
rule. For example, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 6 and the
Regulatory Flexibility Act,7 the agencies
assess each rulemaking with respect to
the burdens the rule might impose. The
agencies also invite the public to
comment on proposed rules as required
by the Administrative Procedure Act.8
III. The EGRPRA Review Process
Taken together for purposes of the
EGRPRA review process, the agencies’
regulations covering insured depository
institutions encompass more than 100
subjects.9 Consistent with the EGRPRA
statute and past practice, the agencies
have grouped these regulations into the
following 12 categories listed in
alphabetical order: Applications and
Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital;
Community Reinvestment Act;
Consumer Protection; 10 Directors,
Officers, and Employees; International
Operations; Money Laundering; Powers
and Activities; Rules of Procedure;
Safety and Soundness; and Securities.
These categories were used during the
prior EGRPRA reviews. The agencies
determined the categories by sorting the
regulations by type and sought to have
no category be too large or broad. These
categories remain useful, and the
agencies have not modified the
categories for purposes of this review.
To carry out the EGRPRA review, the
agencies plan to publish four Federal
Register documents with each
addressing one or more categories of
rules. Each Federal Register document
will have a 90-day comment period. On
February 6, 2024, the agencies
published the first document addressing
the following categories of regulations:
Applications and Reporting; Powers and
Activities; and International
Operations.11 This second document
addresses Consumer Protection;
6 44
U.S.C. 3501–3521.
U.S.C. 610.
U.S.C. 551–559.
9 Consistent with EGRPRA’s focus on reducing
burden on insured depository institutions, the
agencies have not included their internal,
organizational, or operational regulations in this
review. These regulations impose minimal, if any,
burden on insured depository institutions.
10 The agencies are seeking comment only on
consumer protection regulations for which they
retain rulemaking authority for insured depository
institutions and holding companies under the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376
(2010) (Dodd-Frank Act).
11 89 FR 8084 (Feb. 6, 2024).

Directors, Officers, and Employees; and
Money Laundering. The agencies invite
the public to identify outdated,
unnecessary, or unduly burdensome
regulatory requirements imposed on
insured depository institutions and their
holding companies in these three
categories.
To assist the public’s understanding
of how the agencies have organized the
EGRPRA review, the agencies have
prepared a chart that lists the categories
of regulations for which we are
requesting comments. The chart’s left
column divides the categories into
specific subject-matter areas. The
headings at the top of the chart identify
the types of institutions affected by the
regulations.
The agencies will review the
comments received and determine
whether further action is appropriate
with respect to the regulations. The
agencies will consult and coordinate
with each other and expect generally to
make this determination jointly, as
appropriate, in the case of rules that
have been issued on an interagency
basis. Similarly, as appropriate, the
agencies will undertake any rulemaking
to amend or repeal those rules on an
interagency basis. For rules issued by a
single agency, the issuing agency will
review the comments received and
independently determine whether
amendments to or repeal of its rules are
appropriate.
Further, as part of the EGRPRA
review, the agencies are holding a series
of public outreach meetings to provide
an opportunity for bankers, consumer
and community groups, and other
interested parties to present their views
directly to senior management and staff
of the agencies. More information about
the outreach meetings can be found on
the agencies’ EGRPRA website, https://
egrpra.ffiec.gov.
IV. Request for Comments on
Regulations in the Consumer
Protection; Directors, Officers, and
Employees; and Money Laundering
Categories
The agencies are requesting comment
on regulations in the Consumer
Protection; Directors, Officers, and
Employees; and Money Laundering
categories to identify outdated,
unnecessary, or unduly burdensome
requirements imposed on insured
depository institutions and their
holding companies. The agencies
recognize that there are proposed rules
concerning some of these categories
open as of the date of this document and
will solicit comment on all rules
finalized by the agencies before the
publication of the last EGRPRA
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
62681
document in the series. In addition to
comments on regulations in these
categories generally, the agencies are
requesting comments on certain specific
regulations described below within
these categories issued since the last
EGRPRA review. Where possible, the
agencies ask commenters to cite to
specific regulatory language or
provisions. The agencies also welcome
suggested alternative provisions or
language in support of a comment,
where appropriate. The agencies will
consider comments submitted
anonymously.
Specific Issues for Commenters To
Consider
The agencies specifically invite
comment on the following issues as they
pertain to the agencies’ Consumer
Protection; Directors, Officers, and
Employees; and Money Laundering
rules addressed in this document. The
agencies have included two additional
questions in the cumulative effects
category since the issuance of the first
EGRPRA Federal Register document.
We will ask these same questions for
each subsequent document we issue in
connection with the EGRPRA process
and invite comments on these
additional questions for the categories
in the first document.
• Need and purpose of the
regulations.
Æ Question 1: Have there been
changes in the financial services
industry, consumer behavior, or other
circumstances that cause any
regulations in these categories to be
outdated, unnecessary, or unduly
burdensome? If so, please identify the
regulations, provide any available
quantitative analyses or data, and
indicate how the regulations should be
amended.
Æ Question 2: Do any of these
regulations impose burdens not required
by their underlying statutes? If so,
please identify the regulations and
indicate how they should be amended.
• Overarching approaches/
flexibilities.
Æ Question 3: With respect to the
regulations in these categories, could an
agency use a different regulatory
approach to lessen the burden imposed
by the regulations and achieve statutory
intent?
Æ Question 4: Do any of these rules
impose unnecessarily inflexible
requirements? If so, please identify the
regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
• Cumulative effects.
Æ Question 5: Looking at the
regulations in a category as a whole, are
there any requirements that are
E:\FR\FM\01AUP1.SGM
01AUP1
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
62682
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 148 / Thursday, August 1, 2024 / Proposed Rules
redundant, inconsistent, or overlapping
in such a way that taken together,
impose an unnecessary burden that
could potentially be addressed? If so,
please identify those regulations,
provide any available quantitative
analyses or data, and indicate how the
regulations should be amended.
Æ Question 6: Have the agencies
issued similar regulations in the same
area that should be considered together
as bodies of regulation, when assessing
the cumulative effects on an insured
depository institution or holding
company? If so, please identify the
regulations, why they should be
considered together, and any available
analyses or data for the agencies’
consideration.
Æ Question 7: Could any regulations
or category of regulation be streamlined
or simplified to reduce unduly
burdensome or duplicative regulatory
requirements?
• Effect on competition.
Æ Question 8: Do any of the
regulations in these categories create
competitive disadvantages for one part
of the financial services industry
compared to another or for one type of
insured depository institution compared
to another? If so, please identify the
regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
• Reporting, recordkeeping, and
disclosure requirements.
Æ Question 9: Do any of the
regulations in these categories impose
outdated, unnecessary, or unduly
burdensome reporting, recordkeeping,
or disclosure requirements on insured
depository institutions or their holding
companies?
Æ Question 10: Could an insured
depository institution or its holding
company fulfill any of these
requirements through new technologies
(if they are not already permitted to do
so) and experience a burden reduction?
If so, please identify the regulations and
indicate how they should be amended.
• Unique characteristics of a type of
institution.
Æ Question 11: Do any of the
regulations in these categories impose
requirements that are unwarranted by
the unique characteristics of a particular
type of insured depository institution or
holding company? If so, please identify
the regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
• Clarity.
Æ Question 12: Are the regulations in
these categories clear and easy to
understand?
Æ Question 13: Are there specific
regulations for which clarification is
needed? If so, please identify the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:08 Jul 31, 2024
Jkt 262001
regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
• Impact to community banks and
other small, insured depository
institutions.
Æ Question 14: Are there regulations
in these categories that impose
outdated, unnecessary, or unduly
burdensome requirements on a
substantial number of community
banks, their holding companies, or other
small, insured depository institutions or
holding companies?
Æ Question 15: Have the agencies
issued regulations pursuant to a
common statute that, as applied by the
agencies, create redundancies or impose
inconsistent requirements?
Æ Question 16: Should any of these
regulations issued pursuant to a
common statute be amended or repealed
to minimize this impact? If so, please
identify the regulations and indicate
how they should be amended.
Æ Question 17: Have the effects of any
regulations in these categories changed
over time that now have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small, insured depository
institutions or holding companies? If so,
please identify the regulations and
indicate how they should be amended.
The agencies seek information on (1) the
continued need for the rule; (2) the
complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to
which the rule overlaps, duplicates or
conflicts with other Federal rules, and,
to the extent feasible, with State and
local governmental rules; and (4) the
degree to which technology, economic
conditions, or other factors have
changed in the area affected by the rule.
• Scope of rules.
Æ Question 18: Is the scope of each
rule in these categories consistent with
the intent of the underlying statute(s)?
Æ Questions 19: Could the agencies
amend the scope of a rule to clarify its
applicability or reduce the burden,
while remaining faithful to statutory
intent? If so, please identify the
regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
Specific Interagency Regulations Issued
Since the Last EGRPRA Review
• Loans in Areas Having Special
Flood Hazards: The OCC, Board, FDIC,
Farm Credit Administration, and NCUA
amended their regulations regarding
loans in areas having special flood
hazards to implement the private flood
insurance provisions of the BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of
2012 (Biggert-Waters Act).12
Specifically, the final rule requires
regulated lending institutions to accept
PO 00000
flood insurance policies that meet the
statutory definition of ‘‘private flood
insurance’’ in the Biggert-Waters Act
and permits regulated lending
institutions to exercise their discretion
to accept flood insurance policies issued
by private insurers and plans providing
flood coverage issued by mutual aid
societies that do not meet the statutory
definition of ‘‘private flood insurance,’’
subject to certain restrictions.
• Thresholds Increase for the Major
Assets Prohibition of the Depository
Institution Management Interlocks Act
Rules: The OCC, Board, and FDIC
amended their regulations to increase
the thresholds in the major assets
prohibition for management interlocks
for purposes of the Depository
Institution Management Interlocks Act
(DIMIA). The DIMIA major assets
prohibition prohibits a management
official of a depository organization
with assets above a certain asset
threshold (or any affiliate of such an
organization) from serving at the same
time as a management official of an
unaffiliated depository organization
with assets above a certain asset
threshold (or any affiliate of such an
organization). The final rule increased
both major assets prohibition thresholds
to $10 billion to account for changes in
the United States banking market since
the current thresholds were established
in 1996.13
Specific OCC Regulations Issued Since
the Last EGRPRA Review
• Integration of National Bank and
Savings Association Regulations: The
OCC integrated certain rules originally
issued by the OCC with respect to
national banks and by the former Office
of Thrift Supervision (OTS) with respect
to savings associations.14 The OCC
integrated rules relating to consumer
protection in insurance sales,
management interlocks, appraisals, and
the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
This rulemaking also made technical
amendments to the OCC’s FCRA rule to
conform to provisions of the DoddFrank Act.
• Charging Interest by National Banks
at Rates Permitted Competing
Institutions; Charging Interest to
Corporate Borrowers: The OCC issued a
rule to clarify and reaffirm that a bank
may transfer a loan without affecting the
permissible interest term.15
• Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
In March 2022, the OCC issued a rule to
allow the OCC to issue exemptions from
the requirements of the OCC’s SAR

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 148 / Thursday, August 1, 2024 / Proposed Rules
regulations based on a request from an
institution, subject to certain criteria.16
Specific FDIC Regulations Issued Since
the Last EGRPRA Review
• FDIC Official Signs and Advertising
Requirements, False Advertising,
Misrepresentation of Insured Status,
and Misuse of the FDIC’s Name or Logo:
The FDIC amended its regulations
governing use of the official FDIC sign
and insured depository institutions’
advertising statements to reflect how
depositors conduct business with
insured depository institutions today,
including through digital and mobile
channels.17 The final rule also clarified
the FDIC’s regulations regarding
misrepresentations of deposit insurance
coverage by addressing specific
scenarios where consumers may be
misled as to whether they are
conducting business with an insured
depository institution and whether their
funds are protected by Federal deposit
insurance.
• False Advertising,
Misrepresentation of Insured Status,
and Misuse of the FDIC’s Name or Logo:
The FDIC adopted a final rule to
implement section 18(a)(4) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI
Act).18 The final rule established the
process by which the FDIC will identify
and investigate conduct that may violate
section 18(a)(4) of the FDI Act, the
standards under which such conduct
will be evaluated, and the procedures
that the FDIC will follow when formally
and informally enforcing the provisions
of section 18(a)(4) of the FDI Act.
• Simplification of Deposit Insurance
Rules: The FDIC amended its
regulations governing deposit insurance
coverage.19 The amendments simplified
the deposit insurance regulations by
establishing a ‘‘trust accounts’’ category
that governs coverage of deposits of both
revocable trusts and irrevocable trusts
using a common calculation, and the
amendments provided consistent
deposit insurance treatment for all
mortgage servicing account balances

held to satisfy principal and interest
obligations to a lender.
• Joint Ownership Deposit Accounts:
The FDIC amended its deposit
insurance regulations to update one of
the requirements that must be satisfied
for an account to be separately insured
as a joint account.20 Specifically, the
final rule provides an alternative
method to satisfy the signature card
requirement. Under the final rule, the
signature card requirement may be
satisfied by information contained in
the deposit account records of the
insured depository institution
establishing co-ownership of the deposit
account, such as evidence that the
institution has issued a mechanism for
accessing the account to each co-owner
or evidence of usage of the deposit
account by each co-owner.
• Federal Interest Rate Authority:
FDIC issued regulations clarifying the
law that governs the interest rates Statechartered banks and insured branches of
foreign banks (collectively, State banks)
may charge.21 These regulations
provided that State banks are authorized
to charge interest at the rate permitted
by the State in which the State bank is
located, or one percent in excess of the
90-day commercial paper rate,
whichever is greater. The regulations
also provided that whether interest on a
loan is permissible under section 27 of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act is
determined at the time the loan is made,
and interest on a loan permissible under
section 27 is not affected by a change in
State law, a change in the relevant
commercial paper rate, or the sale,
assignment, or other transfer of the loan.
V. The Agencies’ Review of Regulations
Under Section 610 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA)
Consistent with past practice, the
agencies will use the EGRPRA review to
satisfy their respective obligations under
section 610 of the RFA.22 To that end,
FR 35022 (Jul. 22, 2019).
FR 44146 (Jul. 22, 2020).
22 Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
5 U.S.C. 610, imposes a continuing obligation on
the agencies to review regulations that may have a
significant economic impact upon a substantial
number of small entities within 10 years after a
final rule is published. A subset of the rules the
PO 00000

Fmt 4702

for each rule that has a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
entities issued in the last 10 years, the
agencies invite comment on (1) the
continued need for the rule; (2) the
complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to
which the rule overlaps, duplicates or
conflicts with other Federal rules, and,
to the extent feasible, with State and
local governmental rules; and (4) the
length of time since the rule has been
evaluated or the degree to which
technology, economic conditions, or
other factors have changed in the area
affected by the rule. The purpose of the
review will be to determine whether
such rules should be continued without
change, amended, or rescinded,
consistent with the stated objectives of
applicable statutes, to minimize any
significant economic impact of the rules
upon a substantial number of such small
entities.
The agencies have not identified any
rules pertaining to Consumer Protection;
Directors, Officers, and Employees; and
Money Laundering that would have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The agencies
will consider public comments
submitted through the EGRPRA review
process and agency experience to
identify regulations where the agencies
can reduce burdens that have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small insured depository
institutions.23
agencies will review under EGRPRA will also be
reviewed under the section 610 review criteria. The
agencies will indicate which rules are subject to
section 610 review. The factors the agencies
consider in evaluating a rule under 5 U.S.C. 610 are
(1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the nature
of complaints or comments received concerning the
rule from the public; (3) the complexity of the rule;
(4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates,
or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the
extent feasible, with State and local governmental
rules; and (5) the length of time since the rule has
been evaluated or the degree to which technology,
economic conditions, or other factors have changed
in the area affected by the rule.
23 The review will be consistent with the
requirements of a Regulatory Flexibility Act, section
610 review. The agencies will determine whether
particular rules should be continued without
change, amended, or rescinded, consistent with the
objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize any
significant economic impact of the rules on a
substantial number of small insured depository
institutions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Section 2222 of EGRPRA \1\ requires that not less frequently than
once every 10 years, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC) \2\ and the agencies \3\ conduct a review of their
regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory
requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In conducting
this review, the FFIEC or the agencies will (a) categorize their
regulations by type and (b) at regular intervals, provide notice and
solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting
commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated,
unnecessary, or unduly burdensome.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 12 U.S.C. 3311.
\2\ The FFIEC is an interagency body empowered to prescribe
uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the Federal
examination of financial institutions and to make recommendations to
promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. The
FFIEC does not issue regulations that impose burden on financial
institutions and, therefore, we have not separately captioned the
FFIEC in this document.
\3\ The FFIEC is comprised of the OCC, Board, FDIC, National
Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB), and State Liaison Committee. Of these, only the OCC,
Board, and FDIC are statutorily required to undertake the EGRPRA
review. The NCUA elected to participate in the first and second
EGRPRA reviews, and the NCUA Board again has elected to participate
in this review process.
Consistent with its approach during the first and second EGRPRA
reviews, NCUA will separately issue documents and requests for
comment on its rules. The CFPB is required to review its significant
rules and publish a report of its review no later than five years
after they take effect. See 12 U.S.C. 5512(d). This process is
separate from the EGRPRA process.
\4\ Insured depository institutions are also subject to
regulations that are not reviewed under the EGRPRA process because
they were not prescribed by the agencies. Examples include rules for
which rulemaking authority was transferred to the CFPB and anti-
money laundering regulations issued by the Department of the
Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, among others. If,
during the EGRPRA process, the agencies receive a comment about a
regulation that is not subject to the EGRPRA review, we will forward
that comment to the appropriate agency.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EGRPRA also requires the FFIEC or the agencies to publish in the
Federal Register a summary of the comments received, identifying
significant issues raised and commenting on those issues. It also
directs the agencies to eliminate unnecessary regulations, as
appropriate. Finally, the statute requires the FFIEC to submit to
Congress a report that summarizes any significant issues raised in the
public comments and the relative merits of those issues. The report
also must include an analysis of whether the agencies are able to
address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues or whether
those burdens must be addressed by legislative action.
II. The EGRPRA Review's Targeted Focus
The EGRPRA regulatory review provides an opportunity for the public
and the agencies to evaluate groups of related regulations and to
identify opportunities for burden reduction.\5\ For example, the EGRPRA
review may facilitate the identification of statutes and regulations
that share similar goals or complementary methods where one or more
agencies could eliminate the overlapping regulatory requirements.
Alternatively, commenters may identify regulations or statutes that
impose requirements that are no longer consistent with current business
practices and may warrant revision or elimination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See supra note 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EGRPRA review also provides the agencies and the public with an
opportunity to consider how to reduce the impact on community banks or
their holding companies. The agencies are aware of the role that these
institutions play in providing consumers and businesses across the
nation with essential financial services and access to credit. The
agencies are especially concerned about the impact of requirements on
these smaller institutions. The agencies understand that when a new
regulation is issued or a current regulation amended, smaller
institutions may have to devote a significant amount of their resources
to determine if and how the regulation will affect them. Through the
public comment process, the EGRPRA review can help the agencies
identify and target regulatory changes to reduce impacts on those
smaller institutions.
Burden reduction must be compatible with consumer protection and
the safety and soundness of insured depository institutions, their
affiliates, and the financial system as a whole. Burden reduction also
must be consistent with the agencies' statutory mandates, many of which
require the issuance of regulations. EGRPRA recognizes that effective
burden reduction may require statutory changes. Accordingly, as part of
this review, we specifically ask the public to comment on the
relationship among burden reduction, regulatory
[[Page 62681]]
requirements, policy objectives, and statutory mandates. We also seek
quantitative data about the impact of rules.
We note that the agencies must consider regulatory burden each time
an agency proposes, adopts, or amends a rule. For example, under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 \6\ and the Regulatory Flexibility
Act,\7\ the agencies assess each rulemaking with respect to the burdens
the rule might impose. The agencies also invite the public to comment
on proposed rules as required by the Administrative Procedure Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
\7\ 5 U.S.C. 610.
\8\ 5 U.S.C. 551-559.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. The EGRPRA Review Process
Taken together for purposes of the EGRPRA review process, the
agencies' regulations covering insured depository institutions
encompass more than 100 subjects.\9\ Consistent with the EGRPRA statute
and past practice, the agencies have grouped these regulations into the
following 12 categories listed in alphabetical order: Applications and
Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act;
Consumer Protection; \10\ Directors, Officers, and Employees;
International Operations; Money Laundering; Powers and Activities;
Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. These
categories were used during the prior EGRPRA reviews. The agencies
determined the categories by sorting the regulations by type and sought
to have no category be too large or broad. These categories remain
useful, and the agencies have not modified the categories for purposes
of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Consistent with EGRPRA's focus on reducing burden on insured
depository institutions, the agencies have not included their
internal, organizational, or operational regulations in this review.
These regulations impose minimal, if any, burden on insured
depository institutions.
\10\ The agencies are seeking comment only on consumer
protection regulations for which they retain rulemaking authority
for insured depository institutions and holding companies under the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public
Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To carry out the EGRPRA review, the agencies plan to publish four
Federal Register documents with each addressing one or more categories
of rules. Each Federal Register document will have a 90-day comment
period. On February 6, 2024, the agencies published the first document
addressing the following categories of regulations: Applications and
Reporting; Powers and Activities; and International Operations.\11\
This second document addresses Consumer Protection; Directors,
Officers, and Employees; and Money Laundering. The agencies invite the
public to identify outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome
regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and
their holding companies in these three categories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ 89 FR 8084 (Feb. 6, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To assist the public's understanding of how the agencies have
organized the EGRPRA review, the agencies have prepared a chart that
lists the categories of regulations for which we are requesting
comments. The chart's left column divides the categories into specific
subject-matter areas. The headings at the top of the chart identify the
types of institutions affected by the regulations.
The agencies will review the comments received and determine
whether further action is appropriate with respect to the regulations.
The agencies will consult and coordinate with each other and expect
generally to make this determination jointly, as appropriate, in the
case of rules that have been issued on an interagency basis. Similarly,
as appropriate, the agencies will undertake any rulemaking to amend or
repeal those rules on an interagency basis. For rules issued by a
single agency, the issuing agency will review the comments received and
independently determine whether amendments to or repeal of its rules
are appropriate.
Further, as part of the EGRPRA review, the agencies are holding a
series of public outreach meetings to provide an opportunity for
bankers, consumer and community groups, and other interested parties to
present their views directly to senior management and staff of the
agencies. More information about the outreach meetings can be found on
the agencies' EGRPRA website, https://egrpra.ffiec.gov.
IV. Request for Comments on Regulations in the Consumer Protection;
Directors, Officers, and Employees; and Money Laundering Categories
The agencies are requesting comment on regulations in the Consumer
Protection; Directors, Officers, and Employees; and Money Laundering
categories to identify outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome
requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and their
holding companies. The agencies recognize that there are proposed rules
concerning some of these categories open as of the date of this
document and will solicit comment on all rules finalized by the
agencies before the publication of the last EGRPRA document in the
series. In addition to comments on regulations in these categories
generally, the agencies are requesting comments on certain specific
regulations described below within these categories issued since the
last EGRPRA review. Where possible, the agencies ask commenters to cite
to specific regulatory language or provisions. The agencies also
welcome suggested alternative provisions or language in support of a
comment, where appropriate. The agencies will consider comments
submitted anonymously.
Specific Issues for Commenters To Consider
The agencies specifically invite comment on the following issues as
they pertain to the agencies' Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers,
and Employees; and Money Laundering rules addressed in this document.
The agencies have included two additional questions in the cumulative
effects category since the issuance of the first EGRPRA Federal
Register document. We will ask these same questions for each subsequent
document we issue in connection with the EGRPRA process and invite
comments on these additional questions for the categories in the first
document.
Need and purpose of the regulations.
[cir] Question 1: Have there been changes in the financial services
industry, consumer behavior, or other circumstances that cause any
regulations in these categories to be outdated, unnecessary, or unduly
burdensome? If so, please identify the regulations, provide any
available quantitative analyses or data, and indicate how the
regulations should be amended.
[cir] Question 2: Do any of these regulations impose burdens not
required by their underlying statutes? If so, please identify the
regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
Overarching approaches/flexibilities.
[cir] Question 3: With respect to the regulations in these
categories, could an agency use a different regulatory approach to
lessen the burden imposed by the regulations and achieve statutory
intent?
[cir] Question 4: Do any of these rules impose unnecessarily
inflexible requirements? If so, please identify the regulations and
indicate how they should be amended.
Cumulative effects.
[cir] Question 5: Looking at the regulations in a category as a
whole, are there any requirements that are
[[Page 62682]]
redundant, inconsistent, or overlapping in such a way that taken
together, impose an unnecessary burden that could potentially be
addressed? If so, please identify those regulations, provide any
available quantitative analyses or data, and indicate how the
regulations should be amended.
[cir] Question 6: Have the agencies issued similar regulations in
the same area that should be considered together as bodies of
regulation, when assessing the cumulative effects on an insured
depository institution or holding company? If so, please identify the
regulations, why they should be considered together, and any available
analyses or data for the agencies' consideration.
[cir] Question 7: Could any regulations or category of regulation
be streamlined or simplified to reduce unduly burdensome or duplicative
regulatory requirements?
Effect on competition.
[cir] Question 8: Do any of the regulations in these categories
create competitive disadvantages for one part of the financial services
industry compared to another or for one type of insured depository
institution compared to another? If so, please identify the regulations
and indicate how they should be amended.
Reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements.
[cir] Question 9: Do any of the regulations in these categories
impose outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome reporting,
recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements on insured depository
institutions or their holding companies?
[cir] Question 10: Could an insured depository institution or its
holding company fulfill any of these requirements through new
technologies (if they are not already permitted to do so) and
experience a burden reduction? If so, please identify the regulations
and indicate how they should be amended.
Unique characteristics of a type of institution.
[cir] Question 11: Do any of the regulations in these categories
impose requirements that are unwarranted by the unique characteristics
of a particular type of insured depository institution or holding
company? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they
should be amended.
Clarity.
[cir] Question 12: Are the regulations in these categories clear
and easy to understand?
[cir] Question 13: Are there specific regulations for which
clarification is needed? If so, please identify the regulations and
indicate how they should be amended.
Impact to community banks and other small, insured
depository institutions.
[cir] Question 14: Are there regulations in these categories that
impose outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome requirements on a
substantial number of community banks, their holding companies, or
other small, insured depository institutions or holding companies?
[cir] Question 15: Have the agencies issued regulations pursuant to
a common statute that, as applied by the agencies, create redundancies
or impose inconsistent requirements?
[cir] Question 16: Should any of these regulations issued pursuant
to a common statute be amended or repealed to minimize this impact? If
so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be
amended.
[cir] Question 17: Have the effects of any regulations in these
categories changed over time that now have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small, insured depository
institutions or holding companies? If so, please identify the
regulations and indicate how they should be amended. The agencies seek
information on (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the complexity
of the rule; (3) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or
conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with
State and local governmental rules; and (4) the degree to which
technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the
area affected by the rule.
Scope of rules.
[cir] Question 18: Is the scope of each rule in these categories
consistent with the intent of the underlying statute(s)?
[cir] Questions 19: Could the agencies amend the scope of a rule to
clarify its applicability or reduce the burden, while remaining
faithful to statutory intent? If so, please identify the regulations
and indicate how they should be amended.
Specific Interagency Regulations Issued Since the Last EGRPRA Review
Loans in Areas Having Special Flood Hazards: The OCC,
Board, FDIC, Farm Credit Administration, and NCUA amended their
regulations regarding loans in areas having special flood hazards to
implement the private flood insurance provisions of the Biggert-Waters
Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (Biggert-Waters Act).\12\
Specifically, the final rule requires regulated lending institutions to
accept flood insurance policies that meet the statutory definition of
``private flood insurance'' in the Biggert-Waters Act and permits
regulated lending institutions to exercise their discretion to accept
flood insurance policies issued by private insurers and plans providing
flood coverage issued by mutual aid societies that do not meet the
statutory definition of ``private flood insurance,'' subject to certain
restrictions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ 84 FR 4953 (Feb. 20, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thresholds Increase for the Major Assets Prohibition of
the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act Rules: The OCC,
Board, and FDIC amended their regulations to increase the thresholds in
the major assets prohibition for management interlocks for purposes of
the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act (DIMIA). The DIMIA
major assets prohibition prohibits a management official of a
depository organization with assets above a certain asset threshold (or
any affiliate of such an organization) from serving at the same time as
a management official of an unaffiliated depository organization with
assets above a certain asset threshold (or any affiliate of such an
organization). The final rule increased both major assets prohibition
thresholds to $10 billion to account for changes in the United States
banking market since the current thresholds were established in
1996.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ 84 FR 54465 (Oct. 10, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific OCC Regulations Issued Since the Last EGRPRA Review
Integration of National Bank and Savings Association
Regulations: The OCC integrated certain rules originally issued by the
OCC with respect to national banks and by the former Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) with respect to savings associations.\14\ The OCC
integrated rules relating to consumer protection in insurance sales,
management interlocks, appraisals, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA). This rulemaking also made technical amendments to the OCC's
FCRA rule to conform to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ 79 FR 28393 (May 16, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charging Interest by National Banks at Rates Permitted
Competing Institutions; Charging Interest to Corporate Borrowers: The
OCC issued a rule to clarify and reaffirm that a bank may transfer a
loan without affecting the permissible interest term.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 85 FR 33530 (Jun. 2, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). In March 2022, the OCC
issued a rule to allow the OCC to issue exemptions from the
requirements of the OCC's SAR
[[Page 62683]]
regulations based on a request from an institution, subject to certain
criteria.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ 87 FR 15323 (Mar. 18, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific FDIC Regulations Issued Since the Last EGRPRA Review
FDIC Official Signs and Advertising Requirements, False
Advertising, Misrepresentation of Insured Status, and Misuse of the
FDIC's Name or Logo: The FDIC amended its regulations governing use of
the official FDIC sign and insured depository institutions' advertising
statements to reflect how depositors conduct business with insured
depository institutions today, including through digital and mobile
channels.\17\ The final rule also clarified the FDIC's regulations
regarding misrepresentations of deposit insurance coverage by
addressing specific scenarios where consumers may be misled as to
whether they are conducting business with an insured depository
institution and whether their funds are protected by Federal deposit
insurance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ 89 FR 3504 (Jan. 18, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
False Advertising, Misrepresentation of Insured Status,
and Misuse of the FDIC's Name or Logo: The FDIC adopted a final rule to
implement section 18(a)(4) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI
Act).\18\ The final rule established the process by which the FDIC will
identify and investigate conduct that may violate section 18(a)(4) of
the FDI Act, the standards under which such conduct will be evaluated,
and the procedures that the FDIC will follow when formally and
informally enforcing the provisions of section 18(a)(4) of the FDI Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 87 FR 33415 (Jun. 2, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simplification of Deposit Insurance Rules: The FDIC
amended its regulations governing deposit insurance coverage.\19\ The
amendments simplified the deposit insurance regulations by establishing
a ``trust accounts'' category that governs coverage of deposits of both
revocable trusts and irrevocable trusts using a common calculation, and
the amendments provided consistent deposit insurance treatment for all
mortgage servicing account balances held to satisfy principal and
interest obligations to a lender.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ 87 FR 4455 (Jan. 28, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Ownership Deposit Accounts: The FDIC amended its
deposit insurance regulations to update one of the requirements that
must be satisfied for an account to be separately insured as a joint
account.\20\ Specifically, the final rule provides an alternative
method to satisfy the signature card requirement. Under the final rule,
the signature card requirement may be satisfied by information
contained in the deposit account records of the insured depository
institution establishing co-ownership of the deposit account, such as
evidence that the institution has issued a mechanism for accessing the
account to each co-owner or evidence of usage of the deposit account by
each co-owner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ 84 FR 35022 (Jul. 22, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Interest Rate Authority: FDIC issued regulations
clarifying the law that governs the interest rates State-chartered
banks and insured branches of foreign banks (collectively, State banks)
may charge.\21\ These regulations provided that State banks are
authorized to charge interest at the rate permitted by the State in
which the State bank is located, or one percent in excess of the 90-day
commercial paper rate, whichever is greater. The regulations also
provided that whether interest on a loan is permissible under section
27 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act is determined at the time the
loan is made, and interest on a loan permissible under section 27 is
not affected by a change in State law, a change in the relevant
commercial paper rate, or the sale, assignment, or other transfer of
the loan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ 85 FR 44146 (Jul. 22, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. The Agencies' Review of Regulations Under Section 610 of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Consistent with past practice, the agencies will use the EGRPRA
review to satisfy their respective obligations under section 610 of the
RFA.\22\ To that end, for each rule that has a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities issued in the last 10 years, the
agencies invite comment on (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the
complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to which the rule overlaps,
duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent
feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (4) the length
of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which
technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the
area affected by the rule. The purpose of the review will be to
determine whether such rules should be continued without change,
amended, or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of
applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact of the
rules upon a substantial number of such small entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
610, imposes a continuing obligation on the agencies to review
regulations that may have a significant economic impact upon a
substantial number of small entities within 10 years after a final
rule is published. A subset of the rules the agencies will review
under EGRPRA will also be reviewed under the section 610 review
criteria. The agencies will indicate which rules are subject to
section 610 review. The factors the agencies consider in evaluating
a rule under 5 U.S.C. 610 are (1) the continued need for the rule;
(2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the
rule from the public; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent
to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other
Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local
governmental rules; and (5) the length of time since the rule has
been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic
conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by
the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The agencies have not identified any rules pertaining to Consumer
Protection; Directors, Officers, and Employees; and Money Laundering
that would have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The agencies will consider public comments submitted through
the EGRPRA review process and agency experience to identify regulations
where the agencies can reduce burdens that have a significant impact on
a substantial number of small insured depository institutions.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\23\ The review will be consistent with the requirements of a
Regulatory Flexibility Act, section 610 review. The agencies will
determine whether particular rules should be continued without
change, amended, or rescinded, consistent with the objectives of
applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact of
the rules on a substantial number of small insured depository
institutions.
