Guidelines Establishing Standards for Recovery Planning by Certain Large Insured National Banks, Insured Federal Savings Associations, and Insured Federal Branches

In 2016, the OCC issued guidelines applicable to each insured national bank, insured Federal savings association, and insured Federal branch of a foreign bank (together, banks) with average total consolidated assets equal to or greater than $50 billion (covered banks). The guidelines stated that each covered bank should develop and maintain a recovery plan that is appropriate for its individual size, risk profile, activities, and complexity, including the complexity of its organizational and legal entity structure, in order to be able to respond quickly to and recover from the financial effects of severe stress. The guidelines established standards for this recovery planning. In 2018, the OCC raised the threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion. This filing is in connection with the OCC-issued final guidelines that revise the threshold to $100 billion or more. The final guidelines also incorporate a testing standard for recovery plans and clarify the roles of financial and non-financial (including operational and strategic) risk in recovery planning.
