View Rule

The OCC issued a final rule adopting new Guidelines as an appendix to its safety and soundness standards regulations that establish minimum standards for the design and implementation of a risk governance framework for large insured national banks, insured FSAs, and insured Federal branches of foreign banks with average total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more and minimum standards for a board of directors in overseeing the framework's design and implementation. The standards contained in the Guidelines are enforceable by the terms of a Federal statute that authorizes the OCC to prescribe operational and managerial standards for national banks and FSAs.
