The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is proposing changes to its regulations concerning securities offerings by State savings associations and State nonmember banks. The FDIC plans to streamline regulations by removing outdated rules transferred from the Office of Thrift Supervision and creating a new unified regulation for securities disclosures. This new rule aims to simplify and align requirements with current securities laws, ensuring both State savings associations and State nonmember banks are subject to the same rules. The proposed rule also includes technical amendments and invites public comments on these changes until April 5, 2021.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has finalized a rule to remove certain regulations that were transferred from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to the FDIC in 2011 under the Dodd-Frank Act. These regulations mainly dealt with the supervision of State savings associations. The final rule, effective March 5, 2021, aims to simplify regulations by rescinding unnecessary ones and making technical changes so that State savings associations follow similar filing requirements as other FDIC-supervised institutions. The FDIC expects these changes to have minimal impact on the affected institutions.

It is removing a regulation known as "Nondiscrimination Requirements" and updating the "Fair Housing" regulation to also cover State savings associations. This change ensures all FDIC-supervised banks follow the same nondiscrimination rules, aligning with federal laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Fair Housing Act. The rule will take effect on March 5, 2021, with additional compliance deadlines set for February 3, 2022.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a final rule to remove obsolete regulations related to subordinate organizations of State savings associations, which were originally transferred from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) following the Dodd-Frank Act. These regulations, found in 12 CFR part 390, subpart O, were deemed unnecessary because their requirements are largely duplicated by other existing Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) provisions. By removing these regulations, the FDIC aims to simplify its rules, making them easier for the public and State savings associations to understand and follow. The changes are set to take effect on March 5, 2021.
