• Provides that the FDIC will not take supervisory action against any IDI for submitting its Part 363 Annual Report or its written notification of late filing as long as the annual report or notification of late filing is submitted within 45 days of the 90- or 120-day report filing deadline.
• Encourages IDIs to contact the FDIC in advance of the official filing date if the IDI anticipates a delayed submission.
• Affirms that the staff of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the state banking regulators have confirmed the FDIC's treatment of the annual report required by Part 363.
