The FDIC regulations modernized the
process of determining the insurance status of each depositor in
the event of a depository institution failure. The regulations
enable operations of a large insured depository institution to
continue functioning on the day following failure, support the
FDIC's efforts to fulfill its legal mandates regarding the
resolution of failed insured deposit institutions, and apply to the
largest institutions only ($2 billion in domestic deposits or
more). More specifically, the regulations require the largest
insured depository institutions to adopt mechanisms that would, in
the event of the institution's failure, (1) provide the FDIC with
standard deposit account and customer information, and (2) allow
the FDIC to place and release holds on liability accounts,
including deposits.
