Agencies start 10-year regulatory review

Federal banking regulators kicked off their decennial review of agency rules under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act.

Background: The prudential banking regulators conduct reviews every 10 years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements on insured depository institutions and their holding companies.

Details: In an initial Federal Register notice, the agencies:

  • Requested comment on regulations concerning applications and reporting, powers and activities, and international operations.

  • Said they will publish three additional Federal Register notices over the next two years requesting comment on other regulatory categories.

More: Previous EGRPRA reviews have led to relief related to the quarterly call report, real estate appraisals, and FDIC disclosure requirements. ICBA is reviewing the notice and will submit comments.
