The FDIC has adopted regulations intended to modernize the process of determining the insurance status of each depositor in the event of a depository institution failure. The regulations will enable operations of a large insured depository institution to continue functioning on the day following failure, support the FDICÂs efforts to fulfill its legal mandates regarding the resolution of failed insured deposit institutions, and apply to the largest institutions only ($2 billion in domestic deposits or more). More specifically, the regulations require the largest insured depository institutions to adopt mechanisms that would, in the event of the institutionÂs failure, (1) provide the FDIC with standard deposit account and customer information, and (2) allow the FDIC to place and release holds on liability accounts, including deposits.
This is a new record collection. The largest insured depository institutions are growing increasingly complex. The FDIC is adopting a new regulation, 12 CFR 360.9, designed to allow the deposit operations of a failed institution to be continued on the day following failure, facilitate an insurance determination, and improve upon access to depositor funds if one of these large institutions were to fail. The new record collection requires Covered Institutions to provide the FDIC with the name(s) of contacts; develop written practices and procedures for providing the FDIC with required deposit account and customer data in a standard format upon the close of any day's business; provide data to the FDIC pursuant to testing and verification procedures; and acquire and/or modify and maintain an information systems in order to respond to the information requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
