The FDIC regulations modernized the process of determining the insurance status of each depositor in the event of a depository institution failure. The regulations enable operations of a large insured depository institution to continue functioning on the day following failure, support the FDIC's 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 institution's 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 information collection lapsed during a staffing shortage. This collection is essential because the FDIC actively supervises large insured depository institutions and requires that such institutions adopt mechanisms that, in the event of the institutionâs failure: (1) provide the FDIC with standard deposit account and customer information because the FDIC is required to pay insured deposits âas soon as possibleâ after an institution fails [usually the next business day] ; and (2) allow the FDIC to place and release holds on liability accounts, including deposits. It is critical to the FDICâs mission and essential for depositor confidence that there be no disruption in the collection of this information. Emergency reinstatement is necessary because this information must be made immediately available for the FDIC to fulfill its duties and mission as a deposit insurer.
