What changed

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a notice for its March 19, 2026, Sunshine Act meeting. The agenda includes two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking concerning the Regulatory Capital Rule for Category I and II banking organizations and other banking organizations, as well as the Regulatory Capital and Standardized Approach for Risk-weighted Assets. Additionally, the Board will consider a Final Rule clarifying deposit insurance coverage for U.S. bank branches in Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau, and the rescission of a Statement of Policy on Failed Bank Acquisitions.

Regulated entities, particularly banks and public companies, should review the proposed rulemakings on regulatory capital, as these are significant changes that will impact capital requirements and risk-weighted asset calculations. While the final rule on deposit insurance is presented for a single vote, its implications for U.S. banks operating in the specified Pacific nations should be noted. The FDIC Board meeting will be open to public observation via webcast. The Executive Secretary's office is the contact for further information.
