I. Introduction
Section 2222 of EGRPRA? 1 requires that not less frequently than once every 10 years, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)? 2 and the agencies? 3 conduct a review of their regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In conducting this review, the FFIEC or the agencies will (a) categorize their regulations by type and (b) at regular intervals, provide notice and solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome. 4
Footnotes:
1 ?12 U.S.C. 3311.
2 ?The FFIEC is an interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the Federal examination of financial institutions and to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. The FFIEC does not issue regulations that impose burden on financial institutions and, therefore, we have not separately captioned the FFIEC in this document.
3 ?The FFIEC is comprised of the OCC, Board, FDIC, National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and State Liaison Committee. Of these, only the OCC, Board, and FDIC are statutorily required to undertake the EGRPRA review. The NCUA elected to participate in the first and second EGRPRA reviews, and the NCUA Board again has elected to participate in this review process.
Consistent with its approach during the first and second EGRPRA reviews, the NCUA will separately issue documents and requests for comment on its rules. The CFPB is required to review its significant rules and publish a report of its review no later than five years after they take effect. See 12 U.S.C. 5512(d). This process is separate from the EGRPRA process.
4 ?Insured depository institutions are also subject to regulations that are not reviewed under the EGRPRA process because they were not prescribed by the agencies. Examples include rules for which rulemaking authority was transferred to the CFPB and anti-money laundering regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, among others. If, during the EGRPRA process, the agencies receive a comment about a regulation that is not subject to the EGRPRA review, we will forward that comment to the appropriate agency.
EGRPRA also requires the FFIEC or the agencies to publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, identifying significant issues raised and commenting on those issues. It also directs the agencies to eliminate unnecessary regulations, as appropriate. Finally, the statute requires the FFIEC to submit a report to Congress that summarizes any significant issues raised in the public comments and the relative merits of those issues. The report also must include an analysis of whether the agencies are able to address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues or whether those burdens must be addressed by legislative action.
II. The EGRPRA Review's Targeted Focus
The EGRPRA regulatory review provides an opportunity for the public and the agencies to evaluate groups of related regulations and to identify opportunities for burden reduction. 5 For example, the EGRPRA review may facilitate the identification of statutes and regulations that share similar goals or complementary methods where one or more agencies could eliminate the overlapping regulatory requirements. Alternatively, commenters may identify regulations or statutes that impose requirements that are no longer consistent with current business practices and may warrant revision or elimination.
Footnotes:
5 ?See supra note 1.
[top] The EGRPRA review also provides the agencies and the public with an opportunity to consider how to reduce the impact of regulations on community banks or their holding companies. The agencies are aware of the role that these institutions play in providing consumers and businesses across the nation with essential financial services and access to credit. The agencies are especially concerned about the impact of requirements on these smaller institutions. The agencies understand that when a new regulation is issued or a current regulation amended, smaller institutions may have to devote a significant amount of their resources to determine if and how the regulation will affect them. Through the public comment process, the EGRPRA review can help the agencies identify and target
Burden reduction must be compatible with consumer protection and the safety and soundness of insured depository institutions, their affiliates, and the financial system as a whole. Burden reduction also must be consistent with the agencies' statutory mandates, many of which require the issuance of regulations. EGRPRA recognizes that effective burden reduction may require statutory changes. Accordingly, as part of this review, the agencies specifically ask the public to comment on the relationship among burden reduction, regulatory requirements, policy objectives, and statutory mandates. The agencies also seek quantitative data about the impact of rules, where available.
The agencies note that they must consider regulatory burden each time an agency proposes, adopts, or amends a rule. For example, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995? 6 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 7 the agencies assess each rulemaking with respect to the burdens the rule might impose. The agencies also invite the public to comment on proposed rules as required by the Administrative Procedure Act. 8

III. The EGRPRA Review Process
Taken together for purposes of the EGRPRA review process, the agencies' regulations covering insured depository institutions encompass more than 100 subjects. 9 Consistent with the EGRPRA statute and past practice, the agencies have grouped these regulations into the following 12 categories listed in alphabetical order: Applications and Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection;? 10 Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. These categories were used during the prior EGRPRA reviews. The agencies determined the categories by sorting the regulations by type and sought to have no category be too large or broad. These categories remain useful for the review, and the agencies have not modified the categories for purposes of this review.
Footnotes:
9 ?Consistent with EGRPRA's focus on reducing burden on insured depository institutions, the agencies have not included their internal, organizational, or operational regulations in this review. These regulations impose minimal, if any, burden on insured depository institutions.
10 ?The agencies are seeking comment only on consumer protection regulations for which they retain rulemaking authority for insured depository institutions and holding companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act).
To carry out the EGRPRA review, the agencies plan to publish four Federal Register documents with each addressing one or more categories of rules. Each Federal Register document will have a 90-day comment period. On February 6, 2024, the agencies published the first document, addressing the following categories of regulations: Applications and Reporting; Powers and Activities; and International Operations. 11 On August 1, 2024, the agencies published a second document, addressing Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers and Employees; and Money Laundering. 12 Today the agencies are publishing the third document addressing the categories of Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. The agencies invite the public to identify outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and their holding companies in these three categories.
Footnotes:
11 ?89 FR 8084.
12 ?89 FR 62679.
To assist the public's understanding of how the agencies have organized the EGRPRA review, the agencies have prepared a chart that lists the categories of regulations for which the agencies are requesting comments. The chart's left column divides the categories into specific subject-matter areas. The headings at the top of the chart identify the types of institutions affected by the regulations.
The agencies will review the comments received and determine whether further action is appropriate with respect to the regulations. The agencies will consult and coordinate with each other and expect generally to make this determination jointly, as appropriate, in the case of rules that have been issued on an interagency basis. Similarly, as appropriate, the agencies will coordinate to amend or repeal those rules on an interagency basis. For rules issued by a single agency, the issuing agency will review the comments received and independently determine whether amendments to or repeal of its rules are appropriate.
Further, as part of the EGRPRA review, the agencies are holding a series of public outreach meetings to provide an opportunity for bankers, consumer and community groups, and other interested parties to present their views directly to senior management and staff of the agencies. More information about the outreach meetings can be found on the agencies' EGRPRA website, https://egrpra.ffiec.gov.
IV. Request for Comments on Regulations in the Rules of Procedure, Safety and Soundness, and Securities Categories
The agencies are requesting comment on regulations in the Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities categories to identify outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome requirements imposed on insured depository institutions and their holding companies. The agencies will solicit comment on all rules finalized by the agencies before the publication of the last EGRPRA document in the series. In addition to comments on regulations in these categories generally, the agencies are requesting comments on certain specific regulations described below within these categories issued since the last EGRPRA review. Where possible, the agencies ask commenters to cite to specific regulatory language or provisions. The agencies also welcome suggested alternative provisions or language in support of a comment, where appropriate. The agencies will consider comments submitted anonymously.
Specific Issues for Commenters To Consider
The agencies specifically invite comment on the following issues as they pertain to the agencies' Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities rules addressed in this document. The agencies will ask these same questions for each document issued in connection with the EGRPRA process and invite comments on these questions for the categories in the previous EGRPRA documents.
• Need and purpose of the regulations.
? Question 1: Have there been changes in the financial services industry, consumer behavior, or other circumstances that cause any regulations in these categories to be outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome? If so, please identify the regulations, provide any available quantitative analyses or data, and indicate how the regulations should be amended.
? Question 2: Do any of these regulations impose burdens not required by their underlying statutes? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
[top] • Overarching approaches/flexibilities.
? Question 3: With respect to the regulations in these categories, could an agency use a different regulatory approach to lessen the burden imposed by the regulations and achieve statutory intent?
? Question 4: Do any of these rules impose unnecessarily inflexible requirements? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
• Cumulative effects.
? Question 5: Looking at the regulations in a category as a whole, are there any requirements that are redundant, inconsistent, or overlapping in such a way that taken together, impose an unnecessary burden that could potentially be addressed? If so, please identify those regulations, provide any available quantitative analyses or data, and indicate how the regulations should be amended.
? Question 6: Have the agencies issued similar regulations in the same area that should be considered together as bodies of regulation, when assessing the cumulative effects on an insured depository institution or holding company? If so, please identify the regulations, why they should be considered together, and any available analyses or data for the agencies' consideration.
? Question 7: Could any regulations or category of regulation be streamlined or simplified to reduce unduly burdensome or duplicative regulatory requirements?
• Effect on competition.
? Question 8: Do any of the regulations in these categories create competitive disadvantages for one part of the financial services industry compared to another or for one type of insured depository institution compared to another? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
• Reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements.
? Question 9: Do any of the regulations in these categories impose outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements on insured depository institutions or their holding companies?
? Question 10: Could an insured depository institution or its holding company fulfill any of these requirements through new technologies (if they are not already permitted to do so) and experience a burden reduction? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
• Unique characteristics of a type of institution.
? Question 11: Do any of the regulations in these categories impose requirements that are unwarranted by the unique characteristics of a particular type of insured depository institution or holding company? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
• Clarity.
? Question 12: Are the regulations in these categories clear and easy to understand?
? Question 13: Are there specific regulations for which clarification is needed? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
• Impact to community banks and other small, insured depository institutions.
? Question 14: Are there regulations in these categories that impose outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome requirements on a substantial number of community banks, their holding companies, or other small, insured depository institutions or holding companies?
? Question 15: Have the agencies issued regulations pursuant to a common statute that, as applied by the agencies, create redundancies or impose inconsistent requirements?
? Question 16: Should any of these regulations issued pursuant to a common statute be amended or repealed to minimize this impact? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
? Question 17: Have the effects of any regulations in these categories changed over time that now have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small, insured depository institutions or holding companies? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended. The agencies seek information on (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (4) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.
• Scope of rules.
? Question 18: Is the scope of each rule in these categories consistent with the intent of the underlying statute(s)?
? Question 19: Could the agencies amend the scope of a rule to clarify its applicability or reduce the burden, while remaining faithful to statutory intent? If so, please identify the regulations and indicate how they should be amended.
Specific Interagency Regulations Issued Since the Last EGRPRA Review
• Rules of Practice and Procedure: On December 28, 2023, the agencies along with NCUA published updated rules of practice and procedure, including both joint uniform rules and agency-specific local rules, to govern administrative proceedings. 13 The updated rules are effective as of April 1, 2024. The new rules recognize the use of electronic communications in administrative hearings and make various technical and conforming changes to increase the efficiency and fairness of administrative adjudications. The rules also apply 12 CFR part 19 to Federal savings associations and remove the current administrative practice and procedure-related rules for Federal savings associations. The agencies jointly amended the uniform rules, and the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC also amended their local rules.

13 ?88 FR 89820 (Dec. 28, 2023).
• Appraisals for Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans Exemption Threshold: The OCC, FRB, and CFPB finalized amendments to the official interpretations for their regulations that implement section 129H of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Section 129H of TILA establishes special appraisal requirements for "higher-risk mortgages," termed" higher-priced mortgage loans" or "HPMLs" in the agencies' regulations. 14 The agencies amended the regulations to adjust the related Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) exemption threshold for certain loan types, effective January 1, 2024. The OCC joined other agencies in issuing corresponding regulations for each year between 2014 and 2022. 15

[top] • Real Estate Appraisals: The agencies adopted a final rule to amend their regulations requiring appraisals of real estate for certain transactions. The final rule increases the threshold level at or below which appraisals are not required for commercial real estate transactions from $250,000 to $500,000. 16 The final rule defines a commercial real estate transaction as a real estate-related financial transaction that is not secured by a single 1-to-4 family residential property. It excludes all transactions secured by a single 1-to-4 family residential property, and, thus, construction loans secured by a single 1-

• Real Estate Appraisals: The agencies adopted a final rule to amend the agencies' regulations requiring appraisals of real estate for certain transactions. The final rule increases the threshold level at or below which appraisals are not required for residential real estate transactions from $250,000 to $400,000. 17 The final rule defines a residential real estate transaction as a real estate-related financial transaction that is secured by a single 1-to-4 family residential property. For residential real estate transactions exempted from the appraisal requirement as a result of the revised threshold, regulated institutions must obtain an evaluation of the real property collateral that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The final rule makes a conforming change to add to the list of exempt transactions those transactions secured by residential property in rural areas that have been exempted from the agencies' appraisal requirement pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule requires evaluations for these exempt transactions. The final rule also amends the agencies' appraisal regulations to require regulated institutions to subject appraisals for federally related transactions to appropriate review for compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
Footnotes:
17 ?84 FR 53579 (Oct. 8, 2019).
• Net Stable Funding Ratio: The agencies adopted a final rule to implement a stable funding requirement, known as the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), for certain large banking organizations. The final rule established a quantitative metric, the NSFR, to measure the stability of the funding profile of certain large banking organizations and requires these banking organizations to maintain minimum amounts of stable funding to support their assets, commitments, and derivatives exposures over a one-year time horizon. The final rule applied to certain large U.S. depository institution holding companies, depository institutions, and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations, each with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, together with certain depository institution subsidiaries (together, covered companies). The final rule also amended certain definitions in the agencies' liquidity coverage ratio rule that are also applicable to the NSFR. 18

Specific OCC Regulations Issued Since the Last EGRPRA Review
• National Bank and Federal Savings Association Payment System Memberships: In December 2020, the OCC adopted a rule addressing national bank and Federal savings association membership in payment systems. 19 The rule includes a notice requirement and safety and soundness reviews.
Footnotes:
19 ?85 FR 83686 (Dec. 22, 2020).
• Permissible Derivatives Activities for National Banks: In December 2020, the OCC adopted a rule governing permissible derivative activities for national banks. 20 The rule delineates the types of derivative activities that are permissible and includes notice and safety and soundness requirements.
Footnotes:
20 ?85 FR 83686 (Dec. 22, 2020).
• Collective Investment Funds: In January 2017, the OCC amended 12 CFR 9.18(b)(1) to require that a national bank make a copy of the investment fund plan available to the public either at its main office or on its website. 21 The rule also permits a national bank to satisfy the requirement to provide a copy of the plan to any person who requests it by providing it in either written or electronic form. The OCC amended 12 CFR 9.18(c)(2) to increase the asset threshold for mini-funds to $1,500,000, with an annual adjustment for inflation. In March 2020, the OCC revised the OCC's short-term investment fund rule (STIF Rule) for national banks acting in a fiduciary capacity. 22 The OCC amended the rule to add a reservation of authority provision that addresses the rule's limits on weighted average portfolio maturity, weighted average portfolio life maturity, and the method for determining those limits. In August 2020, the OCC issued a rule to codify the standard withdrawal period for a collective investment fund and to provide that a national bank that requires a prior notice period for withdrawals generally must withdraw an account within the prior notice period or, if permissible under the collective investment fund's written plan, within one year after prior notice was required. 23 The rule also creates a limited exception that allows a national bank, with OCC approval, to withdraw an account from the collective investment fund up to one year beyond the standard withdrawal period, with opportunities for further extensions, provided that certain conditions are satisfied.

In addition, the updates permit the electronic filing of periodic reporting requirements, and provide the ability to make technical, non-substantive edits and clarifications.
Footnotes:
26 ?82 FR 8082 (Jan. 23, 2017).
• Recordkeeping and Confirmation Requirements for Securities Transactions (National Banks): In January 2017, the OCC adopted a rule designed to update certain relevant existing rules in accordance with a review of the EGRPRA. 27 The rule clarifies that national banks may use a third-party service provider for recordkeeping and storage. The rule also aligns customer notification requirements for national banks and Federal savings associations and allows for the use of electronic communications. In October 2018, the OCC and FDIC adopted a rule to shorten the standard settlement cycle for securities purchased or sold by national banks. 28 The rule requires banks to settle most securities transactions within the number of business days followed by registered broker dealers in the United States.

V. The Agencies' Review of Regulations Under Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
[top] Consistent with past practice, the agencies will use the EGRPRA review to satisfy their respective obligations under section 610 of the RFA. 63 To that end, for each rule that has a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities issued in the last 10 years, the agencies invite comment on (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (4) the length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. The purpose of the
Footnotes:
63 ?Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 610, imposes a continuing obligation on the agencies to review regulations that may have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities within 10 years after a final rulemaking is published. A subset of the rules the agencies will review under EGRPRA will also be reviewed under the section 610 review criteria. The agencies will indicate which rules are subject to section 610 review. The factors the agencies consider in evaluating a rule under 5 U.S.C. 610 are (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (5) the length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.
The agencies have not identified any rules pertaining to Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities that would have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. 64 The agencies will consider public comments submitted through the EGRPRA review process and agency experience to identify regulations where the agencies can reduce burdens that have a significant impact on a substantial number of small, insured depository institutions. 65
Footnotes:
64 ?The FDIC certified that the Unsafe and Unsound Banking Practices Relating to Brokered Deposits and Interest Rate Restrictions rule issued in 2021 would not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities, after conducting a full Final Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis. Because some expected effects were hard to assess or accurately quantify, the FDIC published a small entity compliance guide.
65 ?The review will be consistent with the requirements of a Regulatory Flexibility Act, section 610 review. The agencies will determine whether particular rules should be continued without change, amended, or rescinded, consistent with the objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact of the rules on a substantial number of small, insured depository institutions.
