Federal Reserve System July 6, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The OCC, FRB, FDIC, OTS, and NCUA (the Agencies) in conjunction with the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS), request comment on the proposed guidance on funding and liquidity risk management (proposed Guidance). The proposed Guidance summarizes the principles of sound liquidity risk management that the agencies have issued in the past and, where appropriate, brings them into conformance with the ``Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision'' issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in September 2008. While the BCBS liquidity principles primarily focuses on large internationally active financial institutions, the proposed guidance emphasizes supervisory expectations for all domestic financial institutions including banks, thrifts and credit unions.
