SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    Section 2222 of EGRPRA \1\ requires that not less frequently than 
once every 10 years, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination 
Council (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their regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary 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, 
therefore, the Agencies might eliminate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 
ten years ago, and the NCUA Board again has elected to participate 
in this review process. Consistent with its approach during the 
first EGRPRA review, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EGRPRA review also provides the Agencies and the public with an 
opportunity to consider how to reduce burden in general, but especially 
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 be consistent with the Agencies' statutory 
mandates, many of which require the issuance of regulations. This 
includes 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 also consider the burden 
imposed 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 have 
grouped these regulations into the following 12 regulatory categories:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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. 
These regulations impose minimal, if any, burden on insured 
depository institutions. Furthermore, we have not included in this 
review those rules that will go into effect during the EGRPRA 
review, new regulations that have only recently gone into effect, or 
rules that we have yet to fully implement. As previously noted, the 
Agencies were required to take burden into account in adopting these 
regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Agencies are seeking comment only on those consumer 
protection regulations for which they 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 plan to publish four 
Federal Register notices, each addressing one or more categories of 
rules. Each Federal Register notice will have 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\ Today, we are 
publishing the second notice, addressing the Banking Operations, 
Capital, and the Community Reinvestment Act categories of regulations. 
We invite the public to identify outdated, otherwise unnecessary, or 
unduly burdensome regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository 
institutions and their

[[Page 7982]]

holding companies in these three categories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 79 FR 32172 (First Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To assist the public's understanding of how we have organized the 
EGRPRA review, the Agencies have included a table in Section IV that 
lists the three categories of regulations for which we are requesting 
comments. On the table, the left column divides the categories into 
specific subject-matter areas. The headings at the top of the table 
identify the types of institutions affected by the regulations.
    After comments have been received, the Agencies will review the 
comments 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. Similarly, 
we will undertake any rulemaking to amend or repeal those rules on an 
interagency basis. For rules issued by a single 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. In all 
cases, the Agencies will provide the public with an opportunity to 
comment on any proposed amendment to or repeal of a regulation, as 
required by the APA.
    Further, as part of the EGRPRA review, the Agencies are holding a 
series of outreach meetings to provide an opportunity for bankers, 
consumer and community groups, and other interested persons to present 
their views directly to senior management and staff of the Agencies on 
any of the categories of regulations in the EGRPRA review.\8\ More 
information about the outreach meetings can be found on the Agencies' 
EGRPRA Web site, http://egrpra.ffiec.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 79 FR 70474 (Nov. 26, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. Public Response to the First Notice

    In response to the First Notice, the Agencies received 
approximately 40 comments from financial institutions, industry trade 
groups, consumer advocacy groups, and other members of the public. The 
Agencies will carefully consider those comments, including the issues 
raised and the suggestions made, and discuss them in the EGRPRA report 
to Congress and as part of any rulemaking to which they relate.
    In addition to comments regarding the regulations contained in the 
First Notice, the Agencies also received comments about the EGRPRA 
Review Process. First, we received comments concerning which of the 
Agencies' rules are included in the review. As explained above, we have 
not included in this review those rules that will go into effect during 
the EGRPRA review, new regulations that have only recently gone into 
effect, or rules that we have yet to implement fully. The Agencies 
consider burden when adopting regulations. In addition, the Agencies, 
financial institutions, and the public need the benefit of experience 
with these regulations in order to assess their effect on insured 
depository institutions.
    We also received comments on which agencies participate in the 
EGRPRA review. As explained above, only the OCC, Board, and FDIC are 
statutorily required to undertake this review. Although other agencies 
may undertake regulatory reviews, those reviews are separate and 
distinct from this review. Finally, we received comments about whether 
the consumer regulations transferred to the CFPB by the Dodd-Frank Act 
are included in the EGRPRA review. The Agencies will seek comment only 
on those consumer regulations for which they retain rulemaking 
authority following passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, such as the fair 
housing advertising and recordkeeping, flood insurance, safeguarding 
customer information, and identity theft rules.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Request for Burden Reduction Comments on Regulations in the Banking 
Operations, Capital, and the Community Reinvestment Act Categories

    As noted previously, the Agencies are asking the public to comment 
on regulations in the Banking Operations, Capital, and the Community 
Reinvestment Act categories to identify outdated or otherwise 
unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository 
institutions and their regulated holding companies. Where possible, we 
ask commenters to cite to 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.
    The Agencies note that recently promulgated rules \10\ amended, 
directly or by reference, several rules listed in the Capital category 
of the table published with the First Notice. The changes either went 
into effect in 2014 or will go into effect during 2015. Consistent with 
the above-described EGRPRA Review Process,\11\ the Capital category in 
the table clarifies the specific regulations on which we are requesting 
comment. Where the table in the First Notice listed general subject-
matter areas in the Capital category, the table in this notice provides 
citations to the specific sections that the Agencies are including in 
this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 78 FR 62017 (Oct. 11, 2013) (Agencies jointly); 79 FR 71630 
(Dec. 3, 2014) (OCC); 79 FR 69365 (Nov. 21, 2014) (FDIC); 79 FR 
64026 (Oct. 27, 2014) (Board). These regulations include capital 
adequacy, prompt corrective action, implementation of Basel III, 
standardized and risk-based approaches, market risk, and stress 
testing.
    \11\ See supra note 5, at 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specific issues for commenters to consider. The Agencies 
specifically invite comment on the following issues as they pertain to 
the Agencies' Banking Operations, Capital, and Community Reinvestment
