Joint Data Standards Required by the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA)
Pursuant to the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), the Department of the Treasury, FDIC, OCC, FRB, NCUA, CFPB, SEC, CFTC, and FHFA (collectively, the covered agencies) are developing a joint rule that establishes data standards for the collections of information reported to each covered agency by financial entities under the jurisdiction of the covered agency.

Special Assessment Collection
The FDIC is requesting comment on an interim final rule to amend the regulations in 12 CFR Part 327.13 pertaining to the collection of the special assessment. The FDIC has been collecting a special assessment to recover losses arising from the protection of uninsured depositors under the systemic risk exception, as required by statute. To ensure that the FDIC recovers the correct amount of losses while minimizing the risk of overcollecting or undercollecting in aggregate, the FDIC is adopting this interim final rule to reduce the rate at which the special assessment will be collected in the eighth collection quarter from 3.36 basis points to 2.97 basis points, and provide an offset to regular quarterly deposit insurance assessments for banks subject to the special assessment if the amount collected exceeds losses following the resolution of litigation between the FDIC and SVB Financial Trust (SVBFT) and again following the termination of the receiverships.
