Comment deadlines and effective dates for regulatory activity issued by the federal financial institution agencies.
The Banking and Finance Law Daily Regulation Tracker includes a Proposed Rules Comment Calendar and a table of Final Rule Effective Dates. Recent activity includes the following:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has formally published, in the Federal Register, two proposed rulemakings. The first proposed rulemaking would modernize and reform the process by which the agency reviews merger transactions subject to FDIC approval under the Bank Merger Act. The second proposed rulemaking would amend the FDIC’s regulations to promote parity between state banks and national banks.
The Federal Reserve Board has released two proposed rulemakings that would implement provisions of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act). The first proposed rulemaking deals with Fed-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers (PPSIs) and certain other entities that are subject to the agency’s jurisdiction. Also, this proposed rulemaking would implement the prohibition on tying in Section 4(a)(8) of the GENIUS Act, which is applicable generally to all PPSIs. The second proposed rulemaking would establish procedures to be followed by an insured state member bank that seeks to obtain Fed approval for a subsidiary to issue payment stablecoins pursuant to the GENIUS Act.
Finally, the Office of Foreign Assets Control issued two final rules. The first final rule added the Sanctions Penalties Regulations to 31 C.F.R. chapter V. These new regulations consolidate previously existing information regarding penalties applicable to multiple sanctions programs implemented by OFAC. The second final rule amends the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations to implement changes resulting from the rescission of the designation of Syria as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Specifically, OFAC is removing and reserving a Syria-specific general license because the authorization is no longer necessary following the rescission.
