SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 11, 2023, the FDIC published in 

the Federal Register a proposal to issue 

Guidelines as Appendix C to FDIC’s 

standards for safety and soundness 

regulations in part 364 and make 

conforming amendments to parts 308 

and 364 of its regulations.1 These 

Guidelines would apply to all insured 

state nonmember banks, state-licensed 

insured branches of foreign banks, and 

insured state savings associations that 

are subject to section 39 of the FDI Act 

with total consolidated assets of $10 

billion or more on or after the effective 

date of the final Guidelines. The 

Guidelines are intended to set the 

FDIC’s expectations for covered 

institutions regarding corporate 

governance, risk management, and 

oversight by the board of directors. The 

notice of proposed rulemaking stated 

that the comment period would close on 

December 11, 2023. The FDIC has 

received requests to extend the 

comment period. An extension of the 

comment period will provide additional 

opportunity for the public to consider 

the proposal and prepare comments, 

including to address the questions 

posed by the FDIC. Therefore, the FDIC 

is extending the end of the comment 

period for the proposal from December 

11, 2023, to February 9, 2024.
