On September 17, 2026, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors rescinded the Board Statement on Development and Communication of Supervisory Recommendations adopted in 2016 (2016 Statement). The 2016 Statement is superseded by the recent adoption of a final rule (Final Rule) adding a new part 305 to the FDIC’s rules that, among other things, revises the FDIC’s approach for supervisory communications.
Statement of Applicability: The contents of, and material referenced in, this FIL apply to all FDIC-supervised financial institutions.
Highlights:
- Under the Final Rule, the FDIC ended the use of matters requiring board attention and supervisory recommendations for examination findings, and will instead issue matters requiring attention.
- The 2016 Statement describes principles related to the FDIC’s issuance of “supervisory recommendations,” which has been superseded by the Final Rule.
- The FDIC continues to emphasize a balanced approach to supervision that comprehensively assesses financial risk to institutions and the Deposit Insurance Fund and conformance with banking and banking-related laws and regulations.
