SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Beginning July 21, 2011, the transfer
date established by section 311 of the
Dodd-Frank Act, 12 U.S.C. 5411, the
powers, duties, and functions of the
former OTS were divided among the
FDIC as to State savings associations,
the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (‘‘OCC’’) as to Federal savings
associations, and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System as to savings and loan holding
companies.1 Section 316(b) of the Dodd-

enforced by each respective agency that
would continue to remain in effect until
the appropriate successor agency
modified or removed the regulations in
accordance with the applicable laws.
The list was published by the FDIC and
OCC as a Joint Notice in the Federal
Register on July 6, 2011, and shortly
thereafter, the FDIC published its
transferred OTS regulations as new
FDIC regulations in 12 CFR parts 390
and 391. When it republished the
transferred OTS regulations as new
FDIC regulations, the FDIC specifically
noted that its staff would evaluate the
transferred OTS rules and might later
recommend incorporating the
transferred OTS regulations into other
FDIC rules, amending them, or
rescinding them, as appropriate.
Further, section 312(c) of the Dodd-
Frank Act amended the definition of
‘‘appropriate Federal banking agency’’
contained in section 3(q) of the FDI Act,
to add State savings associations to the
list of entities for which the FDIC is
designated the ‘‘appropriate Federal
banking agency.’’ As a result, when the
FDIC acts as the designated
‘‘appropriate Federal banking agency’’
(or under similar terminology) for State
savings associations, as it does today, it
has the authority to issue, modify, and
rescind regulations involving such
associations as well as for State
nonmember banks and insured branches
of foreign banks.2
II. Proposed Rule
A. Removal of Part 390, Subpart A
(Former OTS 12 CFR Part 507)
On September 4, 2013, the FDIC
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (‘‘NPR’’ or ‘‘Proposed Rule’’)
regarding the removal of part 390,
subpart A (formerly OTS part 507),
which governs post-employment
activities of senior examiners.3 The
former OTS rule was transferred to the
FDIC with only nominal changes. The
NPR proposed removing part 390,
subpart A from the CFR in an effort to
streamline FDIC’s rules and eliminate
unnecessary regulations. As discussed
in the Proposed Rule, the FDIC carefully
reviewed the transferred rule, part 390,
subpart A, and compared it with part
336, an FDIC regulation that existed
before the transfer of part 390, subpart
A and that continues to remain in effect
today. Like the transferred rule, part 336
governs post-employment activities of
senior examiners.4 Although the two
rules were substantively the same, the
FDIC noted that part 336 was more
appropriate because it focuses on the
service of senior examiners of all
insured depository institutions, while
the part 390, subpart A rules apply only
to senior examiners of savings
associations and their holding
companies.5
B. Amendments to Part 336
In addition, the Proposed Rule
proposed to revise 12 CFR part 336,
subpart B by deleting a reference to the
‘‘Office of Thrift Supervision’’ in the
definition of ‘‘Federal banking agency’’
described in part 336.3(e) and adding
the words ‘‘predecessors or’’ in front of
the word ‘‘successors’’. As stated in the
Proposed Rule, the FDIC believes this
revision will help avoid any public
confusion by deleting the reference to
the former Office of Thrift Supervision
while retaining the indirect reference to
that former agency by adding a reference
to ‘‘predecessors’’ to the definition of
‘‘Federal Banking agency’’. Further, by
including predecessor agencies of the
FDIC as Federal banking agencies for
purposes of this part, the proposed rule
would restrict a potential employee who
had been associated with a State savings
association from future FDIC
employment if the potential employee
had been subject to a final enforcement
action by the former OTS. See 12 CFR
336.4(a)(2) and 336.5(a)(2).6
III. Comments
The FDIC issued the NPR with a 60-
day comment period, which closed on
November 4, 2013. The FDIC received
no comments on its Proposed Rule, and
consequently the Final Rule is adopted
as proposed without any changes.
IV. Explanation of the Final Rule
As discussed in the NPR, part 390,
subpart A is substantively similar to
part 336, and the designation of part 336
as the single authority for the post-
employment activities of FDIC senior
examiners will serve to streamline the
FDIC’s rules and eliminate unnecessary
regulations. To that effect, the Final
Rule removes and rescinds 12 CFR part
390, subpart A in its entirety.
Consistent with the Proposed Rule,
the Final Rule also amends section
336.3(e) to revise 12 CFR part 336,
subpart B by deleting a reference to the
‘‘Office of Thrift Supervision’’ in the
definition of ‘‘Federal banking agency’’
described in part 336.3(e) and adding
the words ‘‘predecessors or’’ in front of
the word ‘‘successors’’.
V. Administrative Law Matters
A. Paperwork Reduction Act
Pursuant to the Proposed Rule, the
FDIC will rescind and remove from its
regulations 12 CFR part 390, subpart A.
This rule was transferred with only
nominal changes to the FDIC from the
OTS when the OTS was abolished by
Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act. Part 390,
subpart A is redundant and largely
duplicative of the FDIC’s rule at part
336 regarding the one-year post-
employment restrictions for senior
examiners. Removing part 390, subpart
A and revising the definition of Federal
banking agency in part 336.3(e) will not
involve any new collections of
information pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Consequently, no information collection
has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review.
B. The Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (RFA), requires that
each federal agency either (1) certify
that a proposed rule would not, if
adopted in final form, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, or (2) prepare
an initial regulatory flexibility analysis
of the rule and publish the analysis for
comment. Twelve CFR part 336, subpart
C was issued as part of an interagency
rulemaking designed to implement
section 10(k) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C.
1820(k). This rule has a limited scope:
It imposes post-employment restrictions
on certain senior examiners employed
by the FDIC and does not impose any
obligations or restrictions on banking
organizations, including small banking
organizations. On this basis, the FDIC
certifies that this rule revision will not
have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities,
within the meaning of those terms as
used in the RFA.
C. Plain Language
Section 722 of the Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act, 12 U.S.C. 4809, requires each
Federal banking agency to use plain
language in all of its proposed and final
rules published after January 1, 2000. In
the NPR, the FDIC invited comments on
whether the Proposed Rule was clearly
stated and effectively organized, and
how the FDIC might make it easier to
understand. Although the FDIC did not
receive any comments, the FDIC sought
to present the Final Rule in a simple
and straightforward manner.

enforced by each respective agency that
would continue to remain in effect until
the appropriate successor agency
modified or removed the regulations in
accordance with the applicable laws.
The list was published by the FDIC and
OCC as a Joint Notice in the Federal
Register on July 6, 2011, and shortly
thereafter, the FDIC published its
transferred OTS regulations as new
FDIC regulations in 12 CFR parts 390

FDIC rules, amending them, or
rescinding them, as appropriate.
Further, section 312(c) of the Dodd-
Frank Act amended the definition of
‘‘appropriate Federal banking agency’’
contained in section 3(q) of the FDI Act,
to add State savings associations to the
list of entities for which the FDIC is
designated the ‘‘appropriate Federal
banking agency.’’ As a result, when the
FDIC acts as the designated
‘‘appropriate Federal banking agency’’
(or under similar terminology) for State
savings associations, as it does today, it
has the authority to issue, modify, and
rescind regulations involving such
associations as well as for State
nonmember banks and insured branches
of foreign banks.2
II. Proposed Rule
A. Removal of Part 390, Subpart A
(Former OTS 12 CFR Part 507)
On September 4, 2013, the FDIC
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (‘‘NPR’’ or ‘‘Proposed Rule’’)
regarding the removal of part 390,
subpart A (formerly OTS part 507),
which governs post-employment

A and that continues to remain in effect
today. Like the transferred rule, part 336
governs post-employment activities of
senior examiners.4 Although the two

appropriate because it focuses on the
service of senior examiners of all
insured depository institutions, while
the part 390, subpart A rules apply only
to senior examiners of savings
associations and their holding
companies.5
B. Amendments to Part 336
In addition, the Proposed Rule
proposed to revise 12 CFR part 336,
subpart B by deleting a reference to the
‘‘Office of Thrift Supervision’’ in the
definition of ‘‘Federal banking agency’’
described in part 336.3(e) and adding
the words ‘‘predecessors or’’ in front of
the word ‘‘successors’’. As stated in the
Proposed Rule, the FDIC believes this
revision will help avoid any public
confusion by deleting the reference to
the former Office of Thrift Supervision
while retaining the indirect reference to
that former agency by adding a reference
to ‘‘predecessors’’ to the definition of
‘‘Federal Banking agency’’. Further, by
including predecessor agencies of the

purposes of this part, the proposed rule
would restrict a potential employee who
had been associated with a State savings
association from future FDIC
employment if the potential employee
had been subject to a final enforcement
action by the former OTS. See 12 CFR
336.4(a)(2) and 336.5(a)(2).6
III. Comments
The FDIC issued the NPR with a 60-
day comment period, which closed on
November 4, 2013. The FDIC received
no comments on its Proposed Rule, and
consequently the Final Rule is adopted
as proposed without any changes.
IV. Explanation of the Final Rule
As discussed in the NPR, part 390,
subpart A is substantively similar to
part 336, and the designation of part 336
as the single authority for the post-
employment activities of FDIC senior
examiners will serve to streamline the
FDIC’s rules and eliminate unnecessary
regulations. To that effect, the Final
Rule removes and rescinds 12 CFR part
390, subpart A in its entirety.
Consistent with the Proposed Rule,
the Final Rule also amends section
336.3(e) to revise 12 CFR part 336,
subpart B by deleting a reference to the
‘‘Office of Thrift Supervision’’ in the
definition of ‘‘Federal banking agency’’
described in part 336.3(e) and adding
the words ‘‘predecessors or’’ in front of
the word ‘‘successors’’.
V. Administrative Law Matters
A. Paperwork Reduction Act
Pursuant to the Proposed Rule, the
FDIC will rescind and remove from its
regulations 12 CFR part 390, subpart A.
This rule was transferred with only
nominal changes to the FDIC from the
OTS when the OTS was abolished by
Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act. Part 390,
subpart A is redundant and largely
duplicative of the FDIC’s rule at part
336 regarding the one-year post-

examiners. Removing part 390, subpart
A and revising the definition of Federal
banking agency in part 336.3(e) will not
involve any new collections of
information pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Consequently, no information collection

B. The Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (RFA), requires that
each federal agency either (1) certify
