OCC Guidelines Establishing Heightened Standards for Certain Large Insured National Banks, Insured Federal Savings Associations, and Insured Federal Branches

The OCC's codified guidelines (12 CFR part 30, appendix D) establish minimum standards for the design and implementation of a risk governance framework for insured national banks, insured Federal savings associations, and insured Federal branches of a foreign bank (bank). The guidelines apply to a bank with average total consolidated assets: (i) equal to or greater than $50 billion; (ii) less than $50 billion if that institution's parent company controls at least one insured national bank or insured Federal savings association that has average total consolidated assets of $50 billion or greater; or (iii) less than $50 billion, if the OCC determines such bank's operations are highly complex or otherwise present a heightened risk as to warrant the application of the guidelines (covered banks). The guidelines also establish minimum standards for a board of directors in overseeing the framework's design and implementation. The OCC is now seeking to renew the information collection associated with these guidelines.
