Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is hereby 
publishing items for the October 2000 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and 
Deregulatory Actions. The agenda contains information about FDIC's 
current and projected rulemakings, existing regulations under review, 
and completed rulemakings.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Persons identified under regulations 
listed in the agenda. Unless otherwise noted, the address for all FDIC 
staff identified in the agenda is Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation, 550 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20429.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Twice each year, the FDIC 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 both the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the FDIC statement of policy 
entitled ``Development and Review of FDIC Rules and Regulations'' (63 
FR 25157). The FDIC amends its regulations under the general rulemaking 
authority prescribed in section 9 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act 
(12 U.S.C. 1819) and under specific authority granted by the Act and 
other statutes.

     A number of the actions identified in this agenda have been 
developed to implement provision of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or 
to implement other recent statutory mandates. Many of the FDIC's 
regulatory actions are coordinated with other Federal regulators of 
financial institutions, primarily the Office of the Comptroller of 
the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System (FRS), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). In some 
cases, the FDIC also coordinates with the National Credit Union 
Administration (NCUA).

     Interested persons may petition the FDIC for the issuance, 
amendment, or repeal of any regulation by submitting a written 
petition to the Executive Secretary, Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation, Washington, DC 20429. Petitioners should include 
complete and concise statements of their interest in the subject 
matter and reasons why the petitions should be granted.

     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 Robert E. Feldman,

Executive Secretary.

4596. ASSESSMENTS -- ASSESSMENT BASE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 12 USC 1441; 12 USC 1817 to 1819

CFR Citation: 12 CFR 327

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: In 1994, the FDIC sought comment on a proposal to revise the 
assessment base used by insured institutions to determine the premium 
paid for deposit insurance. That initiative did not lead to a proposed 
rule. Instead, the FDIC plans to revisit the issue with a new ANPRM on 
alternative options for the deposit component of the assessment base 
and on options regarding the float deduction and use of average daily 
deposit balances.

CFR Citation: 12 CFR 325

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking is sponsored jointly by the OCC, the FRS, the 
FDIC, and the OTS. The rulemaking revises risk-based capital standards 
by addressing the regulatory capital treatment of recourse obligations 
and direct credit substitutes that expose banks, bank holding 
companies, and thrifts to credit risk. The revision treats recourse 
obligations and direct credit substitutes more consistently than under 
the agencies' current risk-based capital standards. In addition, the 
revision allows the agencies to use credit ratings and certain 
alternative approaches to match the risk-based capital requirement more 
closely to a banking organization's relative risk of loss in asset 
securitizations. The rulemaking also requires the sponsor of a 
revolving credit securitization that involves an early amortization 
feature to hold capital against the amount of assets under management, 
i.e., the off balance sheet securitized receivables. The rulemaking is 
intended to result in more consistent treatment of recourse obligations 
and similar transactions among the agencies, more consistent risk-based 
capital treatment for certain types of transactions involving similar 
risk, and capital requirements that more closely reflect a banking 
organization's relative exposure to credit risk.

Abstract: This rulemaking amends the FDIC's regulations governing 
activities and investments of insured state banks to require that 
notices be filed before insured state nonmember banks conduct 
activities through a subsidiary if those activities must be conducted 
in a financial subsidiary of a national bank. This subpart allows the 
FDIC to impose standards and prudential safeguards when insured state 
nonmember banks engage in activities that a national bank must conduct 
in a financial subsidiary. It also requires insured state nonmember 
banks to meet the mandatory CRA compliance requirement before engaging 
in these activities under this subpart. In addition, this subpart 
contains the required prudential separations between certain securities 
affiliates and insured state nonmember banks. The rulemaking also 
removes and reserves the provisions addressing, ``Securities Activities 
of Subsidiaries of Insured State Banks: Bank Transactions with 
Affiliated Securities Companies.'' The effect of these amendments will 
be to require banks to notify the FDIC prior to conducting securities 
or other activities through subsidiaries that are not permissible for 
national banks directly. The rulemaking also adds certain technical 
amendments to correct missing citations or incorrect cross-references 
and similar matters.
