Summary

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published a Federal Register notice regarding Change in Bank Control Notices for acquisitions of shares in banks or bank holding companies. This routine notice provides updated information on the regulatory process for reporting and obtaining approval for acquisitions that would result in control of a depository institution. The notice appears to be a standard publication update with no new substantive requirements.

What changed

The Federal Reserve published a notice (91 FR 16713, Document No. 2026-06401) regarding Change in Bank Control Notices under the Bank Holding Company Act. This is a routine 1-page Federal Register notice addressing the process for acquiring shares that would constitute control of a bank or bank holding company. The notice is informational in nature and does not appear to introduce new regulatory requirements or thresholds.

Regulated entities undertaking acquisitions of bank or bank holding company shares should continue to follow existing Change in Bank Control notice procedures under Regulation Y (12 CFR Part 225). No new compliance deadlines or required actions are established by this notice. Financial institutions and acquirers should monitor Federal Reserve guidance for any related updates to filing requirements.

Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
