Summary:

The FDIC, along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Farm Credit Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively, the Agencies), are jointly proposing to amend swap margin requirements for a registered swap dealer that is an insured depository institution or is otherwise supervised by one of the Agencies.

Statement of Applicability to Institutions with Total Assets Under $10 Billion: The swap margin rule exempts swaps entered into for hedging by financial institutions with total assets of $10 billion or less. Thus, the proposed amendments are not expected to affect such institutions.
