The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) has approved the private-sector adjustment factor (PSAF) for 2023 of $23.7 million and the 2023 fee schedules for Federal Reserve priced services and electronic access.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is adopting a proposal to extend for three years, with revision, the Federal Reserve Membership Application (FR 2083, FR 2083A, FR 2083B, and FR 2083C; OMB No. 7100-0046) and the Federal Reserve Bank Stock Applications (FR 2030, FR 2030a, FR 2056, FR 2086, FR 2086a, and FR 2087; OMB No. 7100-0042).

On October 24, 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (together, the agencies) published in the Federal Register an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to solicit public input regarding whether an extra layer of loss-absorbing capacity could improve optionality in resolving a large banking organization or its insured depository institution, and the costs and benefits of such a requirement. The agencies have determined that an extension of the comment period until January 23, 2023, is appropriate, and are therefore making that extension.

The Board is providing notice of the 2022 aggregate global indicator amounts, as required under the Board's rule regarding risk- based capital surcharges for global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIB surcharge rule).

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is adopting changes to part II of the Federal Reserve Policy on Payment System Risk (PSR policy) substantially as proposed. The changes expand the eligibility of depository institutions to request collateralized intraday credit from the Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks) while reducing administrative steps for requesting collateralized intraday credit. In addition, the Board is adopting changes to the PSR policy that clarify the eligibility standards for accessing uncollateralized intraday credit from Reserve Banks and modify the impact of a holding company's or affiliate's supervisory rating on an institution's eligibility to request uncollateralized intraday credit capacity. The Board is also adopting changes to part II of the PSR policy to support the deployment of the FedNow\SM\ Service (FedNow Service). Finally, the Board is simplifying the Federal Reserve Policy on Overnight Overdrafts (Overnight Overdrafts policy) and incorporating into the PSR policy as part III.

The Board of Governors (Board) is publishing a final rule that applies an inflation adjustment to the threshold for total consolidated assets in Regulation I. Federal Reserve Bank (Reserve Bank) stockholders that have total consolidated assets above the threshold receive a different dividend rate on their Reserve Bank stock than stockholders with total consolidated assets at or below the threshold. The Federal Reserve Act requires that the Board annually adjust the total consolidated asset threshold to reflect the change in the Gross Domestic Product Price Index, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Based on the change in the Gross Domestic Product Price Index as of September 29, 2022, the total consolidated asset threshold will be $12,124,000,000 through December 31, 2023.
