On March 21, 2017, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced that the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") issued a "EGRPRA Joint Report to Congress," which details a review of rules affecting financial institutions conducted under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996, which requires federal banking agencies and the FFIEC to conduct a review of their rules at least every 10 years to identify outdated or unnecessary regulations. The review focused on the effect of regulations on smaller institutions, such as community banks and savings associations. The report describes joint actions planned or taken by the federal financial institutions regulators, including simplifying regulatory capital rules for community banks and savings associations, streamlining reports of condition and income, increasing the appraisal threshold for commercial real estate loans and expanding the number of institutions eligible for less frequent examination cycles. Release. Full Report.
