Rulemaking Proposal
The Board, OCC, FDIC, NCUA, CFPB, FHFA, CFTC, SEC, and Treasury invite public comment on a proposed rule to establish data standards to promote interoperability of financial regulatory data across these agencies.
Economic Growth And Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act
Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996, the OCC, Board, and FDIC (collectively, the agencies) are reviewing agency regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements on insured depository institutions and their holding companies. Over approximately two years, the agencies will publish four Federal Register notices requesting comment on multiple categories of regulations. This second Federal Register notice requests comment on regulations in the categories of Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers, and Employees; and Money Laundering.
Rulemaking Proposal
The OCC, Board, FDIC and NCUA (each an "Agency") are inviting public comment on a proposed rule that would amend the requirements that each Agency has issued for its supervised banks (currently referred to as "Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance programs") to establish, implement, and maintain effective, risk-based, and reasonably designed Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) programs.
Rulemaking Proposal
The OCC, the Board, and the FDIC 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 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. 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.
Economic Growth And Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act
Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996, the OCC, Board, and FDIC (collectively, the agencies) are reviewing agency regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements on insured depository institutions and their holding companies. The agencies divided their regulations into 12 categories outlined in the included chart. Over the next two years, the agencies will publish four Federal Register documents requesting comment on multiple categories. This first Federal Register document requests comment on regulations concerning the following three categories: Applications and Reporting, Powers and Activities, and International Operations.
Rulemaking Proposal
Regulation II implements a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that requires the Board to establish standards for assessing whether the amount of any interchange fee received by a debit card issuer is reasonable and proportional to the cost incurred by the issuer with respect to the transaction. The Board proposes to update all three components of the interchange fee cap based on the latest data reported to the Board by large debit card issuers. Further, the Board proposes to update the interchange fee cap every other year going forward by directly linking the interchange fee cap to data from the Board's biennial survey of large debit card issuers. The Board also proposes a set of technical revisions to Regulation II.
Rulemaking Proposal
The OCC, the Board, and the FDIC are issuing a proposed rule for comment that would require certain large depository institution holding companies, U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations, and certain insured depository institutions, to issue and maintain outstanding a minimum amount of long-term debt.
Rulemaking Proposal
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the Board's rule that identifies and establishes risk-based capital surcharges for global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIBs). The proposal would also amend the Systemic Risk Report (FR Y-15), which is the source of inputs to the implementation of the GSIB framework under the capital rule.
Rulemaking Proposal
The OCC, the Board, and the FDIC are inviting public comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking (proposal) that would substantially revise the capital requirements applicable to large banking organizations and to banking organizations with significant trading activity. The revisions set forth in the proposal would improve the calculation of risk-based capital requirements to better reflect the risks of these banking organizations' exposures, reduce the complexity of the framework, enhance the consistency of requirements across these banking organizations, and facilitate more effective supervisory and market assessments of capital adequacy.
Rulemaking Proposal
The Board and FDIC (together, the agencies) are publishing for public comment this 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 are seeking comment on all aspects of the ANPR from all interested parties and also request commenters to identify other issues that the Board and FDIC should consider.
