Deposit Insurance Assessments

TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
SUBJECT Proposed Revisions to Assessment Regulation (Part 327 of FDIC’s Rules and
Regulations)
The FDIC Board of Directors has proposed the attached revisions to the FDIC's regulation
governing deposit insurance assessments and is seeking comment on the proposal. The Board
believes the proposed changes will enhance the present system by allowing institutions with
improving capital positions to benefit from the improvement more quickly, while requiring those
whose capital is falling to pay a higher assessment sooner. Comments on the proposal are due
by October 25, 1999.
Specifically, the Board is proposing that the FDIC's assessment regulation (Part 327) be
amended to:
• base capital group determinations under the FDIC's risk-based assessment system on
Call Report data for the quarter ending three months before the beginning of the
assessment period, instead of six months as at present;
• shorten the required notification period from 30 days to 15 days prior to each
assessment period's payment date;
• increase from 30 days to 90 days the time in which an institution may request a review of
its assessment risk classification; and
• recognize administrative changes internal to the FDIC that have already taken place.

Division of Insurance (DOI), at (202) 898-6707 or Richard Jones, Chief of DOI's Assessments
Implementation Section, at (202) 898-6592.
