OCC proposes streamlining several regulations


April 27, 2026 / By ICBA

The OCC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to streamline regulations concerning public welfare investments, open market collateralized loan obligations, and federal savings association nondiscrimination requirements.

Details: The OCC said that, consistent with President Donald Trump’s deregulatory initiative, the proposal rule:

  • Would remove certain references to minority- and women-owned entities in the regulations for Community Development Corporation and Project Investments and Other Public Welfare Investments.

  • Rescind the credit risk retention requirements for open market collateralized loan obligations.

  • Remove certain duplicative non-discrimination requirements for federal savings associations.
