III. Performance Results Summary
Summary of 2010 Performance Results by Program
The FDIC successfully achieved 30 of the 34
annual performance targets established in its 2010
Annual Performance Plan. Three targets were
deferred due to specific legislation in the Dodd-Frank Act. One target will be met in 2011. There
were no instances in which 2010 performance
had a material adverse effect on the successful
achievement of the FDIC’s mission or its strategic
goals and objectives regarding its major program
responsibilities.
Additional key accomplishments are noted below.

Performance Results
- Presented updated deposit insurance fund
projections to the FDIC Board twice, in
June and October 2010. No changes were
recommended for assessment rates in June.
In October, based on updated projections
and changes to the Restoration Plan target
required by the Dodd-Frank Act, staff
recommended that the Board forgo the three
basis point increase that was scheduled to
take effect on January 1, 2011.
- In October, based on updated projections,
staff estimated that the reserve ratio will
become positive by year-end 2011 and will
reach 1.15 percent by the fourth quarter
of 2018. The FDIC intends to pursue
rulemaking next year to implement the
Dodd-Frank Act requirement that the FDIC
offset the effect of requiring the reserve ratio
reach 1.35 percent by September 30, 2020
rather than 1.15 percent by year-end 2016
on smaller banks.
