AGENCY: Resolution Trust Corporation.

ACTION: Publication of semiannual agenda of regulations.

listed in the agenda. Except as indicated, the address for all staff

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RTC was created on August 9, 1989, as an 
instrumentality of the United States by title V of the Financial

Under FIRREA, the RTC was given powers to adopt such rules, 
regulations, standard policies, procedures, guidelines, and statements

mission. Twice each year, the RTC publishes an agenda of regulations to 
inform the public of its regulatory actions and to enhance public 
participation in the rulemaking process. Publication of the agenda is 
in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.). Interested persons may petition the RTC for the issuance, 
amendment, or repeal of any regulations by submitting a written 
petition to the Secretary, Resolution Trust Corporation, Washington, DC 
20434. Petitioners should include complete and concise statements of 
their interest in the subject matter and why the petitions should be 
granted.

Abstract: The RTC is proposing to adopt a rule setting forth procedures

RTC as receiver. The rule is needed to inform potential claimants of 
the circumstances under which the RTC will consider claims based upon 
acts or omissions of the receiver to be timely filed and to clarify 
when suit may be filed on these claims. The rule will thus inform and 
remind potential claimants of the deadlines applicable to claims and 
suits based upon acts or omissions of receivers.

Additional Information: Upon OGE approval and publication of the RTC's 
supplemental standards of conduct regulations, 12 CFR 1605 will be 
deleted. The RTC's supplemental standards of conduct regulations will 
be published using OGE's numbering found in Title 5. These regulations 
were to have been approved by February3, 1994. However, OGE has since 
grandfathered all agencies previous regulations until they can be 
approved under Title 5. The RTC's Supplemental Standards of Conduct 
regulations which will be found at 5 CFR 7401 can not be approved until 
OGE approves the FDIC's supplemental standards of conduct regulations. 
Since OGE grandfathered the agency's regulations, the FDIC's 
supplemental regulation has become a low priority. RTC expects to 
submit its supplemental standards regulations as soon as is practical 
upon OGE's approval of FDIC's standards regulations. RTC will also 
submit a supplemental financial disclosure regulation at that same time 
to be found at 5 CFR 7402.

the law is specific as to what must be done. No potential costs or 
benefits are expected from the program.
