FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

12 CFR Part 357

RIN 3064-AA97


Determination of Economically Depressed Regions

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FDIC is withdrawing a proposed rule to amend its 
regulation designating economically depressed regions at 12 CFR Part 
357. The proposed rule, published at 57 FR 60140 on December 18, 1992, 
would have updated the list of states designated as ``economically 
depressed regions'' for purposes of section 13(k)(5) of the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1823(k)(5). No comments were received 
and the proposed rule was never adopted as final. Elsewhere in this 
issue of the Federal Register, the FDIC is publishing a final rule that 
provides criteria to be used by the FDIC to determine which regions are 
``economically depressed'' rather than identifying particular states by 
regulation.

DATES: The proposed rule published at 57 FR 60140, December 18, 1992 is 
withdrawn on March 3, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John P. O'Keefe, Chief, Economic 
Analysis Section, (202) 898-3945, David Horne, Financial Economist, 
(202) 898-3981, Division of Research and Statistics; Michael Phillips, 
Counsel, Legal Division, (202) 898-3581, FDIC, 550 17th Street, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20429.

    By order of the Board of Directors.

    Dated at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of February, 1998.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Executive Secretary.
