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. [FR Doc. 2026–17649 Filed 8–27–26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6714–01–P
