FIL-53-2015 - PDF (PDF Help)

Summary:

On October 22, 2015, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the attached Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) to implement the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: (1) raising the minimum reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent; (2) requiring that the reserve ratio reach 1.35 percent by September 30, 2020; and (3) requiring that the FDIC offset the effect of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion (small banks). The NPR proposes to surcharge insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more (large banks) and grant credits to banks with fewer assets for the portion of their regular assessments that contribute to increasing the reserve ratio from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent. Comments on the NPR are due January 5, 2016.

Statement of Applicability to Institutions under $1 Billion in Total Assets: This Financial Institution Letter applies to all FDIC-Insured Institutions.
