More... The proposal would update, refine, and add specificity to the operational risk-management requirements in Regulation HH to reflect changes in the operational risk, technology, and regulatory landscapes in which designated FMUs operate since the Board last amended this regulation in 2014.

The Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are publishing for public comment this advance notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit public input regarding whether an extra layer of loss-absorbing capacity could improve optionality in resolving a large banking organization or its insured depository institution, and the costs and benefits of such a requirement. More... This may, among other things, address financial stability by limiting contagion risk through the reduction in the likelihood of uninsured depositors suffering loss, and keep various resolution options open for the FDIC to resolve a firm in a way that minimizes the long-term risk to financial stability and preserves optionality. The agencies are seeking comment on all aspects of this advance notice of proposed rulemaking from all interested parties and also request commenters to identify other issues that the Board and FDIC should consider. Comments on this advance notice of proposed rulemaking must be received by December 23, 2022 (Docket R-1786).
