12 CFR Ch. III
Semiannual Agenda of Regulations
AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is hereby
publishing items for the fall 2002 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions. The agenda contains information about FDIC's current
and projected rulemakings, existing regulations under review, and
completed rulemakings.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Persons identified under regulations
listed in the agenda. Unless otherwise noted, the address for all FDIC staff
identified in the agenda is Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20429.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Twice each year, the FDIC publishes an agenda
of regulations to inform the public of its regulatory actions and to enhance
public participation in the rulemaking process. Publication of the agenda is
in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
The FDIC amends its regulations under the general rulemaking authority
prescribed in section 9 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1819) and under specific authority granted by the Act and other statutes.
A number of the actions identified in this agenda have been developed to
implement provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or to implement other
recent statutory mandates. Many of the FDIC's regulatory actions are
coordinated with other Federal regulators, primarily the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (FRS), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). In some
cases, the FDIC also coordinates with the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA).
Interested persons may petition the FDIC for the issuance,
amendment, or repeal of any regulation by submitting a written petition to
the Executive Secretary, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Washington,
DC 20429. Petitioners should include complete and concise statements of
their interest in the subject matter and reasons why the petitions should be
granted.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.

Abstract: In 1994, the FDIC sought comment on a proposal to revise the
assessment base used by insured institutions to determine the premium paid
for deposit insurance. That initiative did not lead to a proposed rule.
Instead, the FDIC plans to revisit the issue with a new advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking on alternative options for the deposit component of the
assessment base and on options regarding the float deduction and use of
average daily deposit balances.
