This subpart implements section
19(e)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), which prohibits
persons who have been convicted of certain criminal offenses or who
have agreed to enter into a pre-trial diversion or similar program
in connection with a prosecution for such criminal offenses from occupying
various positions with a savings and loan holding company. This part
also implements section 19(e)(2) of the FDIA, which permits the Board
to provide exemptions, by regulation or order, from the application
of the prohibition. This subpart provides an exemption for savings
and loan holding company employees whose activities and responsibilities
are limited solely to agriculture, forestry, retail merchandising,
manufacturing, or public utilities operations, and a temporary exemption
for certain persons who held positions with respect to a savings and
loan holding company as of October 13, 2006. The subpart also describes
procedures for applying to the Board for an exemption.
