SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FDIC is withdrawing the notice of proposed rulemaking described 
below. The FDIC no longer intends to issue a final rule with respect to 
this proposal. If the FDIC decides to make changes in this area, it 
will do so through a future regulatory action.

Parent Companies of Industrial Banks and Industrial Loan Companies

    On August 12, 2024, the FDIC published a proposed rule that would 
have revised the criteria that the FDIC would consider when assessing 
risks presented to an industrial bank or industrial loan company 
(collectively, industrial bank) by its parent organization. The 
proposed amendments would have changed the scope of 12 CFR part 354 to 
include conversions involving a proposed industrial bank under section 
5 of the Home Owners' Loan Act or other transactions as determined by 
the FDIC, changes of control or mergers of parent companies, and other 
instances when an industrial bank becomes a subsidiary of a company not 
subject to Federal consolidated supervision. Additionally, the proposed 
amendments would have clarified the relationship between written 
commitments and the FDIC's evaluation of the relevant statutory 
factors. The proposed amendments also would have set forth additional 
criteria that the FDIC would consider when assessing the risks 
presented to an industrial bank by its parent company and any 
affiliates and evaluating the institution's ability to function 
independently of the parent company and any affiliates.
    The FDIC is separately soliciting information and comments from 
interested parties on how the FDIC reviews filings submitted by 
industrial banks. This feedback will inform potential changes to how 
the FDIC evaluates the statutory factors applicable to each filing in 
light of the unique aspects of industrial bank business plans and the 
broad range of companies that may seek to establish an industrial bank.

Withdrawal of Proposed Rule

    The FDIC is withdrawing the proposed rule because, as noted above, 
it no longer intends to issue a final rule with respect to this 
proposal. If the FDIC decides to pursue future regulatory action in 
this area, it will do so by publishing a new proposed rule or other 
issuance consistent with the requirements of the Administrative 
Procedure Act, as applicable.
