FDIC Press Release FDIC Releases Proposed Rulemaking to Amend Annual Stress Test Rule FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2014 Media Contact Andrew Gray (202) 898-7192 [email protected] WASHINGTON — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today announced it is seeking comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking amending the FDICs Annual Stress Test rule. The FDICs NPR follows similar action by the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency on June 12. This proposed rule would shift back the timing of the annual stress testing cycle by approximately 90 days, and clarify that institutions covered by the Annual Stress Test rule will not have to calculate their regulatory capital ratios using the Basel III advanced approaches until the stress testing cycle beginning on January 1, 2016. The public comment period closes 60 days from publication in the Federal Register. Publication of the proposal in the Federal Register is expected shortly.
