On July 2, 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and FDIC announced that they were extending the filing deadline for the resolution plans of 14 U.S. financial institutions to December 31, 2019. The agencies note that the deadline was extended to allow for additional time to provide feedback to these institutions with respect to their last resolution plan submissions and for the institutions to file their next resolution plan submissions. The agencies also reiterated that, pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Reform, and Consumer Protection Act, financial institutions with less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets are no longer subject to resolution plan requirements, and that over the course of the next 18 months, the agencies will determine which financial institutions with $100 billion or more, but less than $250 billion in total consolidated assets will be subject to the resolution plan process going forward.
