View Rule

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) is amending Regulation CC, which implements the Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFAA), which governs the availability of funds after a check deposit, as well as check collection and return. In March 2011, the Board proposed amendments to Regulation CC to facilitate the banking industry's on-going transition to fully electronic interbank check collection and return, including proposed amendments to subpart C to encourage depository banks to receive and paying banks to send returned checks electronically and proposed amendments to subpart B’s funds availability schedule provisions. Subsequently, section 1086 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended the EFAA to provide the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with joint rulemaking authority with the Board over certain EFAA provisions, including those implemented by subpart B of Regulation CC.  Based on its analysis of comments received, the Board revised its proposed amendments to subpart C of Regulation CC. The Board finalized its proposed amendments to subpart C in June 2017.
