The FDIC proposed technical changes to a rule on annual stress testing. The proposed changes would conform the FDIC rule to changes made by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Specifically, the FDIC proposed to:

  • extend the range of dates used in trading and counterparty position data for an institution subject to a stress test;
  • extend the transition process for certain covered institutions that pass the $50 billion asset threshold; and
  • remove obsolete language and provisions.

The FDIC is requesting comments on all aspects of the proposed changes. Comments must be received by June 1, 2018.
