Abstract
On December 20, 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule that, among other things, amended the FDIC's sign and advertising requirements for insured depository institutions (IDIs). The amendments made by the final rule took effect on April 1, 2024; however, full compliance with the amendments was extended to January 1, 2025. The FDIC is delaying the compliance date for the new sign and advertising requirements for IDIs in the final rule to May 1, 2025. This delay will provide additional opportunity for IDIs to establish processes and systems, and make technological updates, necessary to implement the new regulatory requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 2023, the FDIC Board of
Directors adopted a final rule revising the sign and advertising
regulations implementing section 18(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act.\1\ On January 18, 2024 (89 FR 3504), the final rule was published
in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 12 U.S.C. 1828(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final rule became effective on April 1, 2024, and required full
compliance with the rule by January 1, 2025. Based upon feedback from
IDIs
[[Page 84262]]
and other banking industry participants, the FDIC understands that some
IDIs would find it beneficial to have additional time beyond the
January 1, 2025, compliance date to implement the new regulatory
requirements under subpart A of 12 CFR part 328. In particular, some
IDIs have reported they continue to update online systems and
platforms, and have requested additional time to meet the new
requirements under subpart A. To provide additional opportunity for
IDIs to put in place processes and systems, and make technological
updates, the FDIC is delaying the compliance date for amendments to
subpart A of 12 CFR part 328 from January 1, 2025, to May 1, 2025. The
compliance date for the final rule amendments to subpart B of 12 CFR
part 328 remains January 1, 2025.
The FDIC has also received a number of questions from industry
participants regarding the application of the new requirements. In
response, the FDIC has published two sets of ``Questions and Answers''
\2\ addressing certain issues raised by industry participants. The FDIC
has continued to receive requests for additional clarity. The FDIC will
continue to evaluate questions that have been received and will
endeavor to make any additional potential ``Questions and Answers''
publicly available by November 30, 2024, to facilitate effective
compliance by the May 1, 2025, compliance date.
