This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER contains notices to the public of the proposed issuance of rules and regulations. The purpose of these notices is to give interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rule making prior to the adoption of the final rules. Proposed Rules Federal Register 91586 Vol. 89, No. 224 Wednesday, November 20, 2024 FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION 12 CFR Part 375 RIN 3064–AG07 Recordkeeping for Custodial Accounts; Extension of Comment Period AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment period. SUMMARY: On October 2, 2024, the FDIC published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that would strengthen FDIC-insured depository institutions’ (IDI) recordkeeping for custodial deposit accounts with transactional features and preserve beneficial owners’ and depositors’ entitlement to the protections afforded by Federal deposit insurance. The proposed rule provided for a 60-day comment period, which closes on December 2, 2024. The FDIC has determined that an extension of the comment period until January 16, 2025, is appropriate. This action will allow interested parties additional time to analyze the proposal and prepare comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 2, 2024, the FDIC published in the Federal Register (89 FR 80135) a document proposing requirements to strengthen IDI recordkeeping for custodial deposit accounts with transactional features. The proposed rule stated that the comment period would close on December 2, 2024. 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 by an additional 45 days. 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 recordkeeping-related proposed rule from December 2, 2024, to January 16, 2025. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
