The OCC seeks comment on a proposal to rescind its recovery planning guidelines for certain large banks.
Details: The recovery planning guidelines in the OCC's regulations apply to insured national banks and federal savings associations with at least $100 billion in assets. Covered institutions must develop a plan that identifies triggers and options for responding to a wide range of stress scenarios. The plan should enable the institution to maintain market confidence without relying on extraordinary government support.
More: The FDIC's resolution planning requirements would not be impacted by this proposal. Acting Chairman Travis Hill has stated the FDIC may propose some changes to its resolution rules.
Comment Period: Comments from the public are due 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.
Fed Action: The Federal Reserve last week requested comment on proposals to enhance the transparency and public accountability of its annual stress test for large banks.
