III. Budget Results - First Quarter 2022

Approved Budget Modifications

The 2022 Budget Resolution delegated to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) the authority to make certain modifications to the 2022 FDIC Operating Budget. The CFO did not approve any budget reallocations during the first quarter under the authority delegated by the Board of Directors.

Approved Staffing Modificatons

The 2022 Budget Resolution delegated to the CFO the authority to modify approved 2022 staffing authorizations for divisions and offices, as long as those modifications did not increase the total approved Ongoing Operations or Receivership Funding components of the 2022 FDIC Operating Budget. 

  • In January, the CFO approved an increase of three authorized permanent positions in the Division of Risk Management Supervision (RMS) to provide additional staffing for the new Office of Minority and Community Development Banking (OMCDB), which is administratively housed in RMS.
  • In January, the CFO also approved the addition of an authorized non-permanent position in DCP to support the implementation of the Framework for Oversight of Compliance and CRA Activities User Suite (FOCUS) application. That brings to six the number of authorized non-permanent positions in DCP dedicated to the FOCUS project.
  • In February, the CFO approved an increase of two authorized permanent positions in RMS to support the substantial growth in RMS’ workload in the policy and capital markets areas.
  • In March, the CFO approved an increase of five authorized permanent and two non-permanent Supervisory Examiner (SE) positions in RMS and one authorized permanent and two non-permanent SE positions in DCP to maintain effective first-line supervision of field examination staff (including the large number of pre-commissioned examiners).
  • In March, the CFO approved an increase of three permanent authorized positions in DCP to address the impact on consumer complaint workload that is expected to result from the shift of primary supervisory responsibility for a large insured depository institution from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to the FDIC.

Subsequent to these adjustments, authorized 2022 staffing for the Corporation totaled 5,916 positions (5,858 permanent and 58 non-permanent), a net increase of 19 positions.
