View Rule

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is amending the definition of qualifying master netting agreement under the regulatory capital rules and the liquidity coverage ratio rule. The FDIC also proposed to amend the definitions of collateral agreement, eligible margin loan, and repo-style transaction under the regulatory capital rules. The amendments are designed to ensure that the regulatory capital and liquidity treatment of certain financial contracts generally would not be affected by implementation of special resolution regimes in foreign jurisdictions if such regimes are substantially similar to title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in the United States, or by the International Swaps and Derivative Association Resolution Stay Protocol that provides for contractual submission to such regimes. In December 2014, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted a joint interim final rule that is related to this rule.
