As a part of its ongoing Community Bank Initiatives, the FDIC is developing a regulatory calendar to help community banks stay up-to-date on changes in federal banking laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance. The calendar will summarize regulatory developments and highlight key dates to facilitate industry comment and compliance. A draft of the calendar is available on the FDIC Web site.

Statement of Applicability to Institutions with Total Assets under $1 Billion: This Financial Institution Letter is of interest to all FDIC-supervised financial institutions.

• As part of its Community Banking Initiatives, the FDIC has developed a regulatory calendar to facilitate compliance and help improve communication with the banking industry. The calendar summarizes information about changes in federal banking laws, regulations, and guidance.
• The calendar also includes notices of proposed, interim, and final rulemakings as well as supervisory guidance to financial institutions issued by the FDIC and FFIEC, joint issuances with other regulators that do not fall under the auspices of the FFIEC, and independent issuances by other regulators relevant to the FDIC's supervisory examination programs.
• In addition, the calendar provides key dates banks should be aware of, such as the comment period for proposed rules and the effective date for finalized guidance.
• Finally, the calendar provides dates and topics of upcoming outreach events for bankers, such as conference calls to discuss issues of importance.
• To view the draft regulatory calendar, visit http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/cbi/calendar.html .
• Feedback on the calendar is encouraged and can be sent by email to communitybanking@fdic.gov .
