Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In this notice of proposed rulemaking (Proposed Rule), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposes to make several amendments to its regulations covering ``Fair Credit Reporting.'' First, the FDIC proposes to rescind and remove from the Code of Federal Regulations 12 CFR part 391, subpart C (part 391, subpart C), entitled ``Fair Credit Reporting.'' This subpart was included in the regulations that were transferred to the FDIC from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) in connection with the implementation of applicable provisions of title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The requirements for State savings associations in part 391, subpart C are substantively similar to those in the FDIC's 12 CFR part 334 (part 334), also entitled ``Fair Credit Reporting,'' and is applicable for all insured depository institutions (``IDIs'') for which the FDIC has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. The FDIC proposes to modify the scope of 12 CFRs 334.1(b), 334.90(a), and 334.91(a) to include State savings associations and their subsidiaries to conform to the scope of the FDIC's current supervisory responsibilities as the appropriate Federal banking agency. The FDIC also proposes to add new subsections to define ``State savings association'' as having the same meaning as in section 3(b)(3) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act). Second, the FDIC proposes to amend the definitional portion of its Identity Theft Red Flags regulations to be in conformance with the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010. Third, the FDIC proposes to rescind and remove from the Code of Federal Regulations those portions of the FDIC's ``Fair Credit Reporting'' regulations where the rule writing authority was provided to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (``CFPB'') in the Dodd- Frank Act. The FDIC will continue to examine for and enforce violations of these regulations for all IDIs for which the FDIC has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. Consistent with this part of the proposal, the FDIC also proposes to make a technical change in one provision in its version of the Interagency Guidelines on Identity Theft Detection, Prevention, and Mitigation.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is adopting a final rule to rescind and remove from the Code of Federal Regulations rules transferred to the FDIC following the dissolution of the former Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) in connection with the implementation of applicable provisions of Title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The rule also makes conforming amendments to FDIC regulations.

In this notice of proposed rulemaking, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposes to rescind and remove from the Code of Federal Regulations 12 CFR part 391, subpart B, entitled ``Safety and Soundness Guidelines and Compliance Procedures'' and Appendix A and B to part 391, subpart B and supplement A to appendix B. With few exceptions addressed below, the requirements for state savings associations in part 391, subpart B, are substantively similar to those in the FDIC's 12 CFR part 308, subpart R, and in the FDIC's 12 CFR part 364. Upon the completion of these proposed changes, the ``Standards for Safety and Soundness'' for all insured depository institutions for which the FDIC has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency will be found at part 364 and the ``Submission and Review of Safety and Soundness Compliance Plans and Issuance of Orders to Correct Safety and Soundness Deficiencies'' for all insured depository institutions for which the FDIC has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency will be found at part 308, subpart R.

The OCC, the Board, and the FDIC (collectively, the Agencies) are amending their Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations to adjust the asset-size thresholds used to define ``small bank'' or ``small savings association'' and ``intermediate small bank'' or ``intermediate small savings association.'' As required by the CRA regulations, the adjustment to the threshold amount is based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

The OCC, Board, FDIC, Commission, FHFA, and HUD (the agencies) are adopting a joint final rule (the rule, or the final rule) to implement the credit risk retention requirements of section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added by section 941 of the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act or Dodd- Frank Act). Section 15G generally requires the securitizer of asset- backed securities to retain not less than 5 percent of the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the asset-backed securities. Section 15G includes a variety of exemptions from these requirements, including an exemption for asset-backed securities that are collateralized exclusively by residential mortgages that qualify as ``qualified residential mortgages,'' as such term is defined by the agencies by rule.

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) (collectively, the agencies) are seeking comment on an NPR that would clarify, correct, and update aspects of the agencies' regulatory capital rule applicable to banking organizations that are subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule (advanced approaches banking organizations). The proposed revisions are largely driven by observations made by the agencies during the parallel-run review process of advanced approaches banking organizations. They are also intended to enhance consistency of the U.S. regulations with international standards for use of the advanced approaches rule.

The OCC, Board, and FDIC (``we'' or ``Agencies'') announce a series of outreach meetings on the Agencies' interagency effort to review their regulations under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (``EGRPRA'').

In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, notice is hereby given of a meeting of the FDIC Systemic Resolution Advisory Committee (the ``SR Advisory Committee''), which will be held in Arlington, Virginia. The SR Advisory Committee will provide advice and recommendations on a broad range of issues regarding the resolution of systemically important financial companies pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203 (July 21, 2010), 12 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the Corporation or FDIC) is issuing a final rule that implements proposed revisions to regulations regarding the annual stress testing requirements for state nonmember banks and state savings associations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion (covered banks). The regulations, which implement section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), require covered banks to conduct annual stress tests, report the results of such stress tests to the Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board), and publicly disclose a summary of the results of the required stress tests. The final rule revises the 2016 stress test cycle and for years thereafter to begin on January 1 of the calendar year rather than October 1, as is provided for by the current rule. Additionally, the final rule modifies the ``as of'' dates for financial data (that covered banks will use to perform their stress tests) as well as the reporting dates and public disclosure dates of the annual stress tests for both $10 billion to $50 billion covered banks and over $50 billion covered banks.

The FDIC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the renewal of an existing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). On September 8, 2014, (79 FR 53196), the FDIC requested comment for 60 days on a proposal to renew the following information collection: Account Based Disclosures in Connection with Federal Reserve Regulations E, CC, and DD. No comments were received. The FDIC hereby gives notice of its plan to submit to OMB a request to approve the renewal of this collection, and again invites comment on this renewal.

The FDIC is correcting a Notice of Open Meeting that appeared in the Federal Register of October 14, 2014 (79 FR 61641), regarding a meeting of the FDIC Advisory Committee on Economic Inclusion. This publication corrects a typographical error in the meeting date appearing on page 61641 in the DATES section.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) (collectively, the Agencies) are proposing to amend their regulations regarding loans in areas having special flood hazards to implement certain provisions of the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 (HFIAA), which amends some of the changes to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 mandated by the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (Biggert-Waters). Specifically, the proposal would establish requirements with respect to the escrow of flood insurance payments, consistent with the changes set forth in HFIAA. The proposal also would incorporate an exemption in HFIAA for certain detached structures from the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement. The Agencies plan to address in a separate rulemaking other provisions of Biggert-Waters over which the Agencies have jurisdiction that have not been affected by HFIAA.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is proposing to amend our regulations. Part 340 implements section 11(p) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under section 11(p), individuals or entities whose acts or omissions have, or may have, contributed to the failure of an insured depository institution cannot buy the assets of that failed insured depository institution from the FDIC. The proposed revisions to part 340 will help to clarify its purpose, scope and applicability, and will make it more consistent in our regulations, the parallel provision in the FDIC's Orderly Liquidation Authority regulations that implements section 210(r) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by placing restrictions on sales of assets of a covered financial company by the FDIC. Sections of part 340 became effective on July 1, 2014.
