The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has announced updates to the maximum amounts for civil money penalties (CMPs) to account for inflation. These adjustments apply to penalties assessed after January 15, 2021, for violations occurring from November 2, 2015, onwards. Federal agencies, like the FDIC, are required to adjust these penalties annually based on guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The updated CMP amounts were calculated using the inflation multiplier provided by the OMB in December 2020.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is withdrawing its proposed rules related to brokered deposit restrictions, corporate governance, and the Change in Bank Control Act. These proposals, published in 2023 and 2024, aimed to revise existing regulations but faced issues like being overly complex, conflicting with state laws, and potentially discouraging investments in banks. If the FDIC decides to take regulatory action on these matters in the future, it will announce new proposals.

The FDIC has issued a final rule to simplify its regulations by rescinding outdated and redundant policies regarding nondiscrimination. It is removing a regulation known as "Nondiscrimination Requirements" and updating the "Fair Housing" regulation to also cover State savings associations.

The rule will take effect on March 5, 2021, with additional compliance deadlines set for February 3, 2022.

This amendment specifically allows for the collection of civil money penalties (CMPs) by including them in the scope of existing debt-collection regulations.

Although the rule does not impose new requirements on insured institutions, it potentially increases the success rate of collecting delinquent CMPs.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a final rule to adjust the way deposit insurance assessments for large banks are calculated. This change is aimed at preventing the temporary double counting of certain credit loss amounts related to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology in these assessments.

The final rule will take effect on April 1, 2021, and is not expected to affect small banks or change regulatory capital.

These measures are expected to mitigate risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund and maintain the safety and soundness of these financial institutions. The rule also includes a requirement for contingency plans in certain situations to handle financial or operational stress without resorting to bankruptcy or government receivership.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are seeking public comments on proposed updates to the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, also known as Call Reports. These updates, intended to remain effective through 2021, address changes in asset measurement dates due to temporary asset growth linked to relief programs from the COVID-19 pandemic. The modifications aim to help financial institutions manage reporting burdens by allowing them to use asset figures from either December 2019 or June 2020 for determining their reporting requirements for the upcoming year. The agencies are inviting feedback about the utility, accuracy, and potential burden of these changes as they move forward with the proposal.
