1 85 FR 7453 (Feb. 10, 2020). FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION 12 CFR Parts 303 and 337 RIN 3064–AE94 Unsafe and Unsound Banking Practices: Brokered Deposits Restrictions; Extension of Comment Period AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking: Extension of comment period. SUMMARY: On February 10, 2020, the FDIC published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) entitled ‘‘Unsafe and Unsound Banking Practices: Brokered Deposits Restrictions,’’ proposing revisions to its regulations relating to the brokered deposits restrictions that apply to less than well capitalized insured depository institutions. The NPR provided for a 60- day comment period, which would have closed on April 10, 2020. The FDIC has determined that an extension of the comment period until June 9, 2020, is appropriate. This action will allow interested parties additional time to analyze the proposal and prepare comments. DATES: The comment period for the brokered deposits-related NPR published on February 10, 2020 (85 FR 7453),1 is extended from April 10, 2020, to June 9, 2020.
