FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

12 CFR Chapter III


Review of Regulations and Written Policies

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of opportunity for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is conducting 
a systematic review of each its regulations and written policies. 
Section 303(a) of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory 
Improvement Act of 1994 (CDRI) requires the federal banking agencies to 
identify and revise regulations and written policies that may be 
inefficient, cause unnecessary burden or contain outmoded, duplicative 
or inconsistent provisions; and to work jointly to make uniform all 
regulations and policies that implement common statutory or regulatory 
schemes. As part of this systematic review, the FDIC is seeking public 
comment to identify ways in which its regulation and written policies 
can be streamlined and made uniform with the other banking agencies. 
Comments and suggestions should be as specific as possible, citing the 
particular part of the regulation or policy statement recommended for 
revision or recission, and, if a revision is recommended, stating 
specifically the revision proposed. The FDIC already has undertaken 
various measures since the passage of section 303 to streamline its 
regulations and policies, as well as to work jointly with the other 
federal banking agencies to make uniform regulations and guidelines 
implementing common statutory and supervisory policies.

DATES: The FDIC anticipates that many of the reviews will result in the 
publication of proposals to revise specific regulations and statements 
of policy, with dates for comments identified at the time of 
publication. While comments may be submitted at any time through the 
due dates identified when those proposals are published, the FDIC urges 
interested parties to submit comments as soon as possible. Those 
submitted before the tentatively scheduled completion dates for the 
reviews, as displayed in the schedule at the end of this document are 
more likely to be considered during the early stages of the development 
of recommendations.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of the 
Executive Secretary, FDIC, 550 17th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20429. 
Comments may be hand delivered to Room F-402, 1776 F Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20439, on business days between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 
p.m. Comments may be sent fax to: (202) 898-3838 or by the Internet to: 
[email protected]. Comments will be available for inspection at the 
FDIC's Reading Room, Room 7118, 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on business days. All comments should 
reference CDRI section 303, and identify the regulation or policy 
statement which they concern.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven F. Hanft, Assistant Executive 
Secretary (Administration), Office of the Executive Secretary, (202) 
898-3907; or Judith Bailey, Counsel, Legal Division (202) 898-6955; 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street, NW., 
Washington, D.C. 20429.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC is conducting a systematic review 
of its regulations and written policies. Section 303(a) of the CDRI (12 
U.S.C. 4803(a)) requires that each federal banking agency shall, 
consistent with the principles of safety and soundness, statutory law 
and policy, and the public interest:
    (1) Conduct a review of the regulations and written policies of 
that agency to--
    (A) streamline and modify those regulations and policies in order 
to improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs, and eliminate 
unwarranted constraints on credit availability;
    (B) remove inconsistencies and outmoded and duplicative 
requirements; and
    (C) with respect to regulations prescribed pursuant to section 
18(o) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(o), (real 
estate lending standards), consider the impact that such standards have 
on the availability of credit for small business, residential, and 
agricultural purposes, and on low-and moderate-income communities;
    (2) work jointly with the Federal banking agencies to make uniform 
all regulations and guidelines implementing common statutory or 
supervisory policies; and
    (3) submit a joint report to Congress at the end of such 2-year 
period detailing the progress of the agencies in carrying out this 
subsection.
    Thus, there are two parts to the review required by section 303(a). 
First, the FDIC, like the other federal banking agencies, must review 
and streamline all its regulations and written policies to improve 
efficiency, to remove unnecessary costs and burdens, and to eliminate 
inconsistent, outmoded or duplicative provisions. Second, the FDIC is 
required to work with the other banking agencies to make uniform those 
regulations and guidelines that implement common statutory or 
supervisory policies. The federal banking agencies must report to 
Congress detailing the progress they have made in both the streamlining 
and uniformity reviews by September 23, 1996. To date, the FDIC has 
received some comments and uniformity reviews by September 23, 1996. To 
date, the FDIC has received some comments and suggestions for 
regulatory reform from interested parties, but the FDIC would like to 
encourage wider public involvement.
    The FDIC has place a high proprity on regulatory review. In 
testimony on May 18, 1995 before the Subcommittee on Financial 
Institutions and Consumer Credit of the Committee on Banking and 
Financial Services of the U.S. House of Representatives, Chairman 
Helfer stated that the FDIC would test regulations against specific 
criteria:

    (1) Whether the regulations are necessary to ensure a safe and 
sound banking system, (2) whether the regulations enhance the 
functioning of the marketplace, or (3) whether the regulations can 
be justified on strong public grounds related to consumer 
protection.

    The FDIC is devoting considerable resources to regulatory review. 
The FDIC has assembled staff teams to review each of its regulations 
and policy statements, and those teams already 

[[Page 62346]]
have begun this reviews. Further, FDIC staff is coordinating with staff 
of the other federal banking agencies to review common regulations, 
written policies and guidelines, with the goal of working toward 
uniformity. A schedule for reviewing FDIC regulations and policy 
statements appears at the end of this notice.
    The FDIC seeks to impose the least intrusive and least burdensome 
regulations possible while affording maximum flexibility in 
implementing its statutory mandates. This approach is evident in recent 
changes to assessment regulation (12 CFR Part 327) which automate the 
assessment process and permit insured institutions to take advantage of 
a more flexible payment schedule, and to the FDIC's regulations on real 
estate appraisals (12 CFR Part 323), which reduce costs and encourage 
lending by decreasing the number of loans requiring an appraisal.
    This approach is also manifested in the implementation of various 
provisions of FDICIA in which the FDIC has adopted minimal regulations 
together with flexible guidelines, such as the audit regulations (12 
CFR Part 363), standards for safety and soundness (12 CFR Part 364), 
and real estate lending standards (12 CFR Part 365). Further, the FDIC 
is reducing regulatory burden by linking supervision more closely to 
risk with the risk-based insurance program, whereby well-capitalized 
and well-managed institutions are charged considerably less for deposit 
insurance than institutions that are undercapitalized and exhibit 
weakness.
    The FDIC's is mindful that regulatory burden also may be associated 
with examination and supervisory process, and is therefore 
investigating and introducing less intrusive examination techniques. 
The FDIC has reduced total hours per examination by 10% through pre-
examination planning doing more of the examination work off-site in 
FDIC field offices coordinating examinations with sate and other 
federal regulators to eliminate supervisory overlap and to extend the 
examination cycle when appropriate, and increasing examination 
efficiency through automation of the examination process. The FDIC is 
beginning to develop an automated loan review program that will reduce 
the number of specialized loan reports requested by examiners.
    The FDIC is also seeking additional reductions by surveying bankers 
to determine what the industry feels is burdensome about the 
examination process; and by investigating the use of Internet to permit 
electronic submission of applications, and to make available to the 
public supervisory materials such as Financial Institution Letters, 
examination manuals, and the rules and regulations of the FDIC. The 
FDIC has already established procedures for using the Internet to 
comment on proposed rules and regulations. Additional regulatory 
revisions that are complete or well underway include:
     Final revisions to the FDIC's regulations implementing the 
Community Reinvestment Act (12 CFR Part 345) have been approved by the 
FDIC Board of Directors and were published on May 4, 1995 (60 FR 
22156), providing more objective, performance-based assessment 
standards that minimize the burden of compliance while improving 
performance. The revised regulation provides alternative examination 
methods for different sizes and types of institutions, and emphasizes 
results rather than paperwork and procedure.
     A notice of proposed rulemaking to streamline and clarify 
the flood insurance provisions in the FDIC's regulations on ``Loans in 
Areas having Special Flood Hazards'' (12 CFR Part 339) was published on 
October 18, 1995 (60 FR 53962), with comments due December 17, 1995. 
The proposed changes to this regulation would clarify its terms and 
standardize recordkeeping and reporting requirements among all insured 
institutions.
     A notice of proposed rulemaking to simplify the reporting 
of suspected criminal activity, ``Reports of Apparent Crimes'' (12 CFR 
Part 353), was published on September 14, 1995, with a comment period 
that closed November 13, 1995 (60 FR 47719).
     A notice of proposed rulemaking on revisions to 
``Disclosure of Information'' (12 CFR Part 309) was published on July 
6, 1995 (60 FR 35148) with a comment period that closed September 9, 
1995. The proposed revisions would make it easier for the public to 
obtain information from the FDIC.
    As it continues with its regulatory review, the FDIC would like to 
provide an opportunity for the earliest possible participation by 
consumers, banking industry representatives, and the general public, 
before notices of proposed rulemaking and proposed revisions to policy 
statements are published by the FDIC Board as part of a notice-and-
comment process. To that end the FDIC is encouraging the public to 
provide suggestions early in the review cycle to assist in the 
development of specific regulatory proposals. It is anticipated that, 
in many cases specific recommendations for modifying the FDIC's 
regulations and policies will be brought before the FDIC's Board of 
Directors as a result of the reviews. Those recommendations, if adopted 
by the FDIC's Board, will be published as formal proposals for comment. 
Comments provided at this early stage, however, will permit the 
formulation of improved proposals for consideration by the FDIC's Board 
of Directors. The request for comments at this early stage is thus 
separate from, and in addition to, any future opportunity for comment 
on specific proposed revisions to individual regulations and policies 
that may result from the work of the reviewing teams.
     Comments should be submitted on regulations and written 
policies that are unique to the FDIC as well as those that are in 
common with the other federal banking agencies.
     Comments should focus on and cite particular provisions or 
language, and provide particular reasons why such provisions are 
burdensome, inefficient or outmoded.
     Comments should cite particular provisions or language 
that should be revised or eliminated and, where possible or 
appropriate, suggest alternative provisions or language.
     If the implementation of a comment would require modifying 
the statutes that underlie a regulation or policy, the comment should, 
if possible, identify the needed statutory change.
    Existing FDIC regulations are found in chapter XXII of title 5 and 
chapter III of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations. FDIC 
Statements of Policy are compiled in 2 FDIC Law, Regulations, Related 
Acts (FDIC), 5001-5412. As noted above, the FDIC anticipated that many 
of the reviews will result in the publication of proposals to revise 
specific regulations and statements of policy, with due dates for 
comments identified at the time of publication. While comments may be 
submitted at any time through the due dates identified when those 
proposals are published, the FDIC urges interested parties to submit 
comments as soon as possible. Those submitted before the tentatively 
scheduled completion dates for the reviews, as displayed in the 
schedule below, are more likely to be considered during the early 
stages of the development of recommendations. It is hoped that, by 
providing this schedule, commenters will have the ability to address 
significant regulatory issues in an orderly and focused fashion. Page 
numbers in the schedule refer to the location of policy statements in 
the FDIC's looseleaf service known as FDIC Law, Regulations, Related 
Acts.
