SUBJECT:	New Examination Procedures for Retail Nondeposit Investment Product Sales

The FDIC's Division of Supervision has developed the attached new examination procedures for retail nondeposit investment product (NDIP) sales. The new examination procedures, which take effect on June 1, 1997, provide a consistent framework for assessing NDIP programs and enable examiners to exercise judgment and discretion in their reviews. The procedures have a two-tier format to streamline examinations and focus examination resources on material supervisory concerns.

For further information, please contact your Division of Supervision regional office.
