View Rule

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") is rescinding and removing 12 CFR part 390, subparts B, C, D, and E of the former Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") rules as redundant of existing uniform rules of practice and procedure applicable to administrative hearings. These subparts were included in the regulations that were transferred to the FDIC from the OTS on July 21, 2011, in connection with the implementation of applicable provisions of title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. With few exceptions, the requirements for State savings associations in part 390, subparts B through E are substantively similar to those in FDIC's 12 CFR part 308, subparts A, B, C, K, and N. The FDIC is further amending 12 CFR part 308, subparts A, B, C, K, and N, to modify the scope of the rules to include State savings associations and to conform to and reflect the scope of the FDIC's current supervisory responsibilities as the appropriate Federal banking agency for those institutions. Additionally, the FDIC is modifying these regulations in minor ways that will ensure that all insured depository institutions, for which the FDIC is the appropriate Federal Banking Agency, are subject to the same substantive and procedural rules governing administrative hearings.
