Regulatory Relief
Guidance to Help Financial Institutions and to Facilitate Recovery in Areas of Indiana Affected by Severe Storms and Flooding
FIL-50-2008
June 17, 2008


Summary: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has announced a series of steps intended to provide regulatory relief to financial institutions and to facilitate recovery in areas of Indiana affected by recent severe storms and flooding.

Highlights:

  • Severe storms and flooding have caused significant property damage to areas of Indiana.
  • Individual disaster assistance is available in the Indiana counties of Bartholomew, Hancock, Johnson, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Vermillion, and Vigo Counties. Other counties are eligible for public assistance.
  • The FDIC is encouraging financial institutions to work constructively with borrowers who are experiencing difficulties beyond their control because of damage caused by these disasters.
  • Extending repayment terms, restructuring existing loans or easing terms for new loans, if done in a manner consistent with sound banking practices, can contribute to the health of the community and serve the long-term interests of the lending institution.
  • The FDIC will also consider regulatory relief from certain filing and publishing requirements for banks in the affected areas.
