{"abstract":"Pursuant to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and its authority under section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), the FDIC proposes to impose a surcharge on the quarterly assessments of insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more. The surcharges would begin the calendar quarter after the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF or fund) first reaches or exceeds 1.15 percent--the same time that lower regular deposit insurance assessment (regular assessment) rates take effect-- and would continue through the quarter that the reserve ratio first reaches or exceeds 1.35 percent. The surcharge would equal an annual rate of 4.5 basis points applied to the institution's assessment base (with certain adjustments). The FDIC expects that these surcharges will commence in 2016 and that they should be sufficient to raise the reserve ratio to 1.35 percent in approximately eight quarters, i.e., before the end of 2018. If, contrary to the FDIC's expectations, the reserve ratio does not reach 1.35 percent by December 31, 2018 (provided it is at least 1.15 percent), the FDIC would impose a shortfall assessment on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more on March 31, 2019. Since the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the FDIC offset the effect of the increase in the reserve ratio from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, the FDIC would provide assessment credits to insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion for the portion of their regular assessments that contributed to growth in the reserve ratio between 1.15 percent and 1.35 percent. The FDIC would apply the credits each quarter that the reserve ratio is at least 1.40 percent to offset part of the assessments of each institution with credits.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) and request for comment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION","name":"Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation","id":164,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-deposit-insurance-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/164","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-deposit-insurance-corporation"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/11/06/2015-27287.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":327,"title":12}],"citation":"80 FR 68780","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2016-01-05","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received by the FDIC no later than January 5, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-27287","effective_on":null,"end_page":68794,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/11/06/2015-27287.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/06/2015-27287/assessments","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-27287?publication_date=2015-11-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-11-06/2015-27287/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":15,"page_views":{"count":478,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-11-06/pdf/2015-27287.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-27287.pdf?1446731119","publication_date":"2015-11-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/11/06/2015-27287.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"3064-AE40":{"issue":"201604","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/3064-AE40/assessments","title":"Assessments","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201604&RIN=3064-AE40&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["3064-AE40"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FDIC","document_id":"FDIC-2015-0165-0001","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T08:45:31Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":68780,"subtype":null,"title":"Assessments","toc_doc":"Assessments","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Bank deposit insurance","Banks, banking","Banks, banking","Banks, banking","Banks, banking","Savings associations"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":80}
