Department of Treasury March 29, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document contains proposed amendments to the regulations relating to the disclosure of specified return information to the Bureau of the Census (Bureau). The proposed amendments would ensure the efficient and appropriate transfer of return information to the Bureau and would permit the disclosure of additional return information pursuant to a request from the Secretary of Commerce. These proposed regulations would require no action by taxpayers and would have no effect on their tax liabilities.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (together referred to as the agencies, and each, individually, the agency) are issuing this supplemental rulemaking related to the agencies' Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) final rule issued on October 24, 2023, and published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2024 (2023 CRA Final Rule). The rulemaking has two components. First, the agencies are adopting an interim final rule that amends, and requests comment on, the applicability date of the facility-based assessment areas provision and public file provision included in the 2023 CRA Final Rule. Second, the agencies are adopting a final rule that makes technical amendments to the 2023 CRA Final Rule and related regulations. In addition to the rulemaking, this document makes a correction to the preamble to the 2023 CRA Final Rule regarding the OCC's Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) regulatory analysis.
