Section 42 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act mandates that an institution proposing to close a
branch give its primary regulator no less than 90 days written
notice. Also, each insured depository institution must adopt branch
closing policies.
This information
collection lapsed during a staffing shortage. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Act mandates that an institution closing a branch notify
its primary federal regulator no later than 90 days prior to the
closing. The statute also provides that a notice be posted on the
premises of the branch for the 30-day period immediately prior to
the closing and that the customers be notified in a mailing at
least 90 days prior to the closing. Emergency reinstatement is
necessary because it is essential for the FDIC to ensure that its
4000+ institutions comply with the statutory mandate in order to
protect depositors.
