Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation January 25, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FDIC is issuing an interim final rule (``Rule''), with request for comments, which implements certain provisions of its authority to resolve covered financial companies under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ``Dodd- Frank Act''). The FDIC's purpose in issuing this Rule is to provide greater clarity and certainty about how key components of this authority will be implemented and to ensure that the liquidation process under Title II reflects the Dodd- Frank Act's mandate of transparency in the liquidation of failing systemic financial companies.
