On January 29, 2018, the U.S. Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and FDIC announced that they have provided feedback
to 19 non-U.S.-based financial institutions on their 2015
resolution plans, and the Federal Reserve Board provided links to
the feedback letters that were issued to each of these 19 financial
institutions. The agencies noted in the announcement that given the

operations, the agencies will further tailor their expectations for
the upcoming resolution plan submissions by these institutions,
which are due no later than December 31, 2018.
