Statement of Policy on Alternative
Dispute Resolution
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) has been and
continues to be committed to the use of
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
for resolving appropriate disputes in a
more timely, less costly manner than
litigation or administrative adjudication.
The FDIC hereby adopts this policy to
reiterate its commitment to ADR, to
express its full support for ADR and to
set forth a framework for the continuing
and expanding use of ADR. The
Corporation views ADR not as an end in
itself, but rather, as an additional tool to
accomplish its business efficiently,
economically and productively. To that
end, the FDIC believes that its ADR
policy should be dynamic and
continually developing.
The FDIC fully supports the cost-
effective use of ADR, including
negotiation, mediation, early neutral
evaluation, neutral expert fact-finding,
mini-trials and other hybrid forms of
ADR in appropriate instances. The
purpose of this policy is to use ADR in
appropriate instances to resolve
disputes at the earliest stage possible, by
the fastest and least expensive method
possible and at the lowest possible
organizational level consistent with
applicable delegation of authority.
The Senior Deputy Director (Division
of Resolutions and Receiverships) serves
as the Dispute Resolution Specialist for
the Corporation. In addition, an ADR
Steering Committee, composed of the
Dispute Resolution Specialist (or his/her
designee) and representatives from each
Division and Office, was established by
the Board of Directors in 1994 to
coordinate and encourage appropriate
and cost-effective conflict management
practices in all aspects of FDIC
operations and programs. The Dispute
Resolution Specialist, working with the
ADR Steering Committee, shall report to
the Board of Directors on an annual
basis regarding the Corporation’s ADR
efforts, implementation of this policy,
and any revisions or actions necessary.
It is the responsibility of all FDIC
employees to implement this policy and
to practice and promote cost-effective
dispute resolution in FDIC programs
and other areas of Corporation
operation. All management and
employees of the FDIC are hereby
directed to take the necessary steps to
implement this policy and to cooperate
to the fullest extend with the ADR
Steering Committee and the Dispute
Resolution Specialist (and his/her
designee) to promote effective and
appropriate use of ADR at the
Corporation in furtherance of this
policy.
The FDIC welcomes and encourages
input on the use of ADR and comment
on current and potential uses of ADR
from both within and outside the
Corporation.
By order of the Board of Directors.
Dated at Washington, DC, the 11th day of
December, 1996.
