View Rule

The FDIC is proposing to amend its filing requirements and processing procedures for notices filed under the Change in Bank Control Act (Notices). The amendments are intended to accomplish several objectives. First, the rule would consolidate into one subpart the current requirements and procedures for Notices filed with respect to State nonmember banks and certain parent companies thereof, and the requirements and procedures for Notices filed with respect to State savings associations and certain parent companies thereof. Second, the rule would rescind the FDIC’s separate regulation governing the requirements and procedures for Notices filed with respect to State savings associations and certain parent companies thereof and would rescind any guidance issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision relating to changes in control of State savings associations that is inconsistent with the rule. Third, the rule would adopt the best practices of the related regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Finally, the rule would clarify the FDIC’s requirements and procedures based on its experience interpreting and implementing the existing regulation. This rule is also part of the FDIC’s continuing review of its regulations under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996.
