The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Board rescinded its 2016 statement on developing and communicating supervisory recommendations because the recently adopted final rule on unsafe or unsound practices and supervisory communications supersedes it. The change applies to all FDIC-supervised financial institutions and aligns prior guidance with the new framework taking effect Nov. 2, 2026. Under the final rule, the FDIC is ending the use of matters requiring board attention and supervisory recommendations for examination findings and will instead issue matters requiring attention. The framework focuses formal findings on conduct involving actual or reasonably foreseeable material harm to an institution’s financial condition, material risk of loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund, or actual violations of banking or banking-related laws or regulations.
