On February 3, the FDIC requested comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act which requires FDIC-insured state nonmember banks and FDIC-insured state-chartered savings associations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion to conduct annual stress tests. Comments must be submitted by March 23. This notice of proposed rulemaking is substantively similar to regulations proposed by the Fed and the OCC. FDIC Release. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
