SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2026, the FDIC published in the 
Federal Register (91 FR 39726) a document proposing to update, clarify, 
and supplement the FDIC's regulations regarding the disclosure of 
confidential information by the FDIC and other parties, including by 
enhancing the ability of insured depository institutions to share 
confidential supervisory information with affiliates and certain other 
entities for appropriate business purposes, without seeking prior 
authorization from the FDIC. The proposal would also significantly 
simplify and clarify the requirements and restrictions applicable to 
the FDIC's discretionary disclosure of confidential information. 
Finally, the proposal would update and simplify the FDIC's rules 
regarding disclosures required under the Freedom of Information Act and 
would clarify how and when FDIC information may be disclosed in 
connection with legal proceedings and as a result of service of process 
made upon the FDIC and its directors, officers, and employees. The 
proposed rule stated that the comment period would close on August 31, 
2026. The FDIC has received requests to extend the comment period. 
After reviewing the requests, the agency finds it appropriate to grant 
the requests and extend the comment period until October 5, 2026. An 
extension of the comment period will provide additional opportunity for 
the public to prepare comments to address the matters raised by the 
proposed rule. Therefore, the FDIC is extending the comment period for 
the proposed rule concerning disclosure of information from August 31, 
2026, to October 5, 2026.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

    Dated at Washington, DC, August 26, 2026.
Jennifer M. Jones,
Deputy Executive Secretary.
