First, the FDIC is amending its deposit insurance regulations to clarify that a deposit insurance application is required for each new bank that results from the conversion of certain Federal savings associations into multiple banks. Second, the FDIC is amending its merger regulations to define the term ``corporate reorganization'' to mean a merger that involves solely an insured depository institution and one or more of its affiliates. Third, the FDIC is amending its merger regulations to remove any reference to ``Optional Conversions'' (sometimes referred to as ``Oakar Transactions''). Fourth, the FDIC is adding, as an additional grounds for disapproval of a change in control notice, unfavorable future prospects of the institution to be acquired. Finally, the FDIC is authorizing the disclosure of examination reports and other confidential supervisory information to certain additional agencies and entities.
Processing of Deposit Accounts in the Event of an Insured Depository Institution Failure and Large-Bank Deposit Insurance Determination Modernization
Document Number: E8-273
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-01-14
Agency: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Agencies and Commissions
The FDIC is seeking comment on a proposed rule composed of two parts. The first part would establish the FDIC's practice for determining deposit account balances at a failed insured depository institution. The second part would require the largest insured depository institutions to adopt mechanisms that would, in the event of the institution's failure: provide the FDIC with standard deposit account and customer information; and allow the FDIC to place and release holds on liability accounts, including deposits. The first part of the proposal would apply to all insured depository institutions. The second part of the proposal would apply only to insured depository institutions having at least $2 billion in domestic deposits and either: more than 250,000 deposit accounts (currently 152 institutions); or total assets over $20 billion, regardless of the number of deposit accounts (currently 7 institutions). The FDIC is seeking comment on all aspects of the proposed rule.
