[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 246 (Wednesday, December 23, 2015)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 79724-79735] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-32312] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 12 CFR Chapter I [Docket ID FFIEC-2014-0001] FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 12 CFR Chapter II [Docket No. R-1510] FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION 12 CFR Chapter III Regulatory Publication and Review Under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (``OCC''), Treasury; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (``Board''); and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (``FDIC''). ACTION: Notice of regulatory review; request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The OCC, Board, and FDIC (each an ``Agency''; together ``we'' or ``Agencies'') are conducting a review of the regulations we have issued in order to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions, as required by the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (EGRPRA). EGRPRA requires the Agencies to organize the regulations into categories and publish groups of categories for comment. In this notice, the Agencies are seeking public comment on regulations in the following categories: Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. We have listed these rules on a chart included with this notice. In addition, as we previously announced, the Agencies have expanded the scope of the EGRPRA review to include the Agencies' recently issued final rules. Accordingly, in this notice, the Agencies invite the public to comment on any Agency final rule not included in a previous EGRPRA Federal Register notice. To facilitate identification of these recently issued rules, we have included with this notice a separate chart that lists these rules. Finally, in order to be as inclusive as possible, the Agencies also invite comment during the comment period for this notice on any Agency rule that is issued in final form on or before December 31, 2015. We will list these [[Page 79725]] rules on the EGRPRA Web site, http://egrpra.ffiec.gov/. The public may also comment on any other Agency rule, including rules covered by the three prior notices during the open comment period for this notice.

Introduction Section 2222 of EGRPRA \1\ requires that, not less frequently than once every 10 years, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council [[Page 79726]] (FFIEC),\2\ along with the Agencies,\3\ conduct a review of their regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary requirements imposed on insured depository institutions.\4\ The EGRPRA regulatory review provides an opportunity for the public and the Agencies to look at groups of related regulations and to identify opportunities for burden reduction. For example, the EGRPRA review may facilitate the identification of statutes and regulations that share similar goals or complementary methods where one or more Agencies could eliminate overlapping requirements. Alternatively, commenters may identify regulations or statutes that impose requirements that are no longer consistent with the way that business is conducted and that the Agencies should eliminate or revise. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Public Law 104-208 (1996), codified at 12 U.S.C. 3311. \2\ The FFIEC is an interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the Federal examination of financial institutions and to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. The FFIEC does not issue regulations that impose burden on financial institutions and, therefore, we have not separately captioned the FFIEC in this notice. \3\ The FFIEC is comprised of the OCC, Board, FDIC, National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and State Liaison Committee. Of these, only the OCC, Board, and FDIC are statutorily required to undertake the EGRPRA review. The NCUA elected to participate in the first EGRPRA review 10 years ago, and the NCUA Board again has elected to participate in this review process. Consistent with its approach during the first EGRPRA review, the NCUA will separately issue notices and requests for comment on its rules. The CFPB is required to review its significant rules and publish a report of its review no later than five years after they take effect. See 12 U.S.C. 5512(d). This process is separate from the EGRPRA process. \4\ Insured depository institutions also are subject to regulations that are not required to be reviewed under the EGRPRA process. Examples include rules for which rulemaking authority has transferred to the CFPB and anti-money laundering regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, among others. If, during the EGRPRA review, the Agencies receive a comment about a regulation that is not subject to the EGRPRA review, we will forward that comment to the appropriate agency. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to providing an opportunity to consider burden reduction generally, the EGRPRA review also provides the Agencies and the public with an opportunity to consider burden reduction on community banks and other small, insured depository institutions or holding companies. We are keenly aware of the role that these institutions play in providing consumers and businesses across the nation with essential financial services and access to credit, and we are concerned about the impact of regulatory burden on these smaller institutions. We understand that when an Agency issues a new regulation or amends a current regulation, smaller institutions may have to devote considerable resources to determine if and how the regulation will affect them. Through the public comment process, the EGRPRA review can help the Agencies identify and target regulatory changes to reduce unnecessary burden on these smaller institutions. Burden reduction must, however, be consistent with the Agencies' statutory mandates, many of which require the issuance of regulations. These mandates include ensuring the safety and soundness of insured depository institutions, their affiliates, and the financial system as a whole. EGRPRA recognizes that effective burden reduction may require legislative change. Accordingly, as part of this review, we specifically ask the public to comment on the relationships among burden reduction, regulatory requirements, and statutory mandates. In addition, we note that the Agencies consider potential regulatory burden each time we propose, adopt, or amend a rule. For example, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Agencies assess each rulemaking with respect to the burdens the rule might impose. Furthermore, we invite the public to comment on every rule we propose, as required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). II. The EGRPRA Review Process Taken together for purposes of EGRPRA, the Agencies' regulations covering insured depository institutions encompass more than 100 subjects.\5\ Consistent with the EGRPRA statute, the Agencies grouped these regulations into the following 12 regulatory categories: Applications and Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection; \6\ Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. To determine these categories, we divided the regulations by type and sought to have no category be too large or broad. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ Consistent with EGRPRA's focus on reducing burden on insured depository institutions, the Agencies have not included their internal, organizational, or operational regulations in this review. \6\ As we have previously noted, the Agencies are seeking comment only on those consumer protection regulations for which we retain rulemaking authority for insured depository institutions and regulated holding companies following passage of section 1061 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act), codified at 12 U.S.C. 5581(b). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To carry out the EGRPRA review, the Agencies have published three Federal Register notices, each addressing one or more categories of rules. Each Federal Register notice provided a 90-day comment period. On June 4, 2014, the Agencies published the first such notice, seeking comment on three categories of rules: Applications and Reporting; Powers and Activities; and International Operations.\7\ On February 13, 2015, the Agencies published the second notice, seeking comment on three additional categories of rules: Banking Operations; Capital; and the Community Reinvestment Act.\8\ On June 5, 2015, the Agencies published the third notice, seeking comment on three additional categories: Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers and Employees; and Money Laundering (Third Notice).\9\ The comment period for the Third Notice closed on September 3, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ 79 FR 32172. \8\ 80 FR 7980. \9\ 80 FR 32046. Together, the three EGRPRA notices are referred to as the ``Prior Notices.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Third Notice, the Agencies also announced their decision to expand the scope of the EGRPRA review to include recently issued rules, such as those issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and the recently promulgated domestic capital and liquidity rules. The Agencies identified these rules, referred to as ``Newly Listed Rules,'' on a chart included with the Third Notice. The Third Notice stated that the public could comment on the Newly Listed Rules during the comment period for the final EGRPRA notice. Today, we are publishing the fourth and final EGRPRA notice, addressing the categories of Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. We invite the public to identify outdated, unduly burdensome, or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and their holding companies in these three categories. Chart A in Section IV contains the Agencies' rules in these three categories, including the Newly Listed Rules in these three categories. In addition, consistent with the expanded scope of the EGRPRA review, we invite the public to identify outdated, unduly burdensome, or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and their holding companies by the Newly Listed Rules in the nine categories covered by the Prior Notices. Chart B in Section IV contains the Newly Listed Rules in [[Page 79727]] these nine categories, including rules issued in final form since the Third Notice. Finally, in order to be as inclusive as possible, the Agencies invite comment on any other rule issued in final form on or before December 31, 2015, which will be listed on the EGRPRA Web site, http://egrpra.ffiec.gov/. Furthermore, as has been the practice of the Agencies, we invite comment on any of the Agencies' final rules included in this EGRPRA review during the open comment period for this notice. As part of the EGRPRA review, the Agencies have held a series of outreach meetings around the country to provide an opportunity for bankers, consumer and community groups, and other interested persons to present their views directly to Agency senior management and staff on any of the regulations in the EGRPRA review. The Agencies held a final outreach meeting on December 2, 2015, in the Washington, DC area. Transcripts from and other information about the outreach meetings can be found on the Agencies' EGRPRA Web site, http://egrpra.ffiec.gov. Following the close of the comment period for this final notice, the Agencies will review all of the comments we have received and decide whether further action is appropriate with respect to the regulations. The Agencies will make this decision jointly in the case of rules that we have issued on an interagency basis. For rules issued by one Agency, the issuing Agency will review the comments received and independently determine whether amendments to or repeal of its rules are appropriate. If so, that Agency will initiate a rulemaking to effect such change. Finally, EGRPRA also requires the FFIEC or the Agencies to publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, identifying significant issues raised and commenting on these issues. It also directs the Agencies to eliminate unnecessary regulations to the extent that such action is appropriate. The statute additionally requires the FFIEC to submit to Congress a report that summarizes any significant issues raised in the public comments and the relative merits of such issues. The report also must include an analysis of whether the Agencies are able to address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues or whether these burdens must be addressed by legislative action. III. Request for Burden Reduction Comments on Regulations in the Rules of Procedure, Safety and Soundness, and Securities Categories; on Newly Listed Rules in the Other Categories of Regulations; and on Any Other Final Rule Issued by December 31, 2015 As stated previously in this notice, the Agencies are asking the public to comment on regulations in the Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities categories. Chart A in Section IV contains the Agencies' rules that are in these three categories. The Agencies are also asking the public to comment on the Newly Listed Rules in the nine categories covered by the Prior Notices. Chart B in Section IV contains the Newly Listed Rules. Both charts include any rules issued on or before December 23, 2015. The Agencies will also accept comment during the open comment period of this notice on any other Agency rule issued in final form by December 31, 2015. In addition, we will accept comments on any of the Agencies' rules, including those rules in categories covered in the Prior Notices. Where possible, we ask commenters to cite specific regulatory language or provisions. We also welcome suggested alternative provisions or language in support of a comment, where appropriate. Where implementation of a suggestion would require modification of a statute, we ask the commenter to identify the statute and the needed change, where possible. Specific issues for commenters to consider. The Agencies specifically invite comment on the following issues as they pertain to (a) the Agencies' Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness rules; and Securities rules, on Chart A; (b) any of the Newly Listed Rules on Chart B; and (c) any other Agency rule that is issued in final form by December 31, 2015.

(1) Do any of the regulations or underlying statutes create competitive disadvantages for one part of the financial services industry compared to another or for one type of insured depository institution compared to another? (2) If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended. Reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements. (1) Do any of the regulations or underlying statutes in these categories impose outdated or otherwise unnecessary reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements on insured depository institutions or their holding companies? (2) Could a financial institution fulfill any of these requirements electronically (if it is not already permitted to do so) and experience burden reduction? (3) If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended. Unique characteristics of a type of institution.
