Agencies Announce Final EGRPRA Outreach Meeting
The federal banking agencies will hold an outreach meeting on Wednesday, December
2, 2015, at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in Arlington, Va., as part
of their regulatory review under the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1996 (EGRPRA).
The meeting is the sixth and final in a series of outreach sessions that the FDIC, the
Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have held
throughout the country.
The meeting will feature panel presentations by bankers and consumer and community
groups. Interested people may also present their views on any of the 12 categories of
regulations listed on http://egrpra.ffiec.gov.
FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry, and
Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo are scheduled to attend. Stephen C.
Taylor, acting commissioner of the District of Columbia Department of Insurance,
Securities and Banking, and E. Joseph Face, Jr., commissioner, Virginia Bureau of
Financial Institutions, are also scheduled to attend. Other state banking regulators are
invited to participate through the State Liaison Committee of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).
The meeting will be webcast live at http://egrpra.ffiec.gov. Online viewers will be able to
submit written comments using the text chat feature at any time during the
presentations. In addition, a toll-free telephone number also will be provided for people
who would like to listen to the meeting, and who may choose later to submit written
comments.
EGRPRA requires the agencies, along with the FFIEC, to conduct a review at least
every 10 years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulations. The agencies
have divided their regulations into 12 categories and requested comments in the
Federal Register for nine categories. The agencies will request comment on the
remaining three categories later this year. The previously published Federal Register
notices are available at http://egrpra.ffiec.gov/federal-register-notices/fedreg-index.html.
As previously announced, the agencies have expanded the scope of the EGRPRA
review to cover newly issued regulations. Comments will be accepted on all agency
rules that are finalized before the end of the year.
