Agencies Seek Comment on Proposed 2019 Resolution Plan Guidance

June 29, 2018
On Friday, June 29, 2018, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board announced they are seeking public comment on revised resolution plan guidance for the eight largest, most complex U.S. banks. Resolution plans, commonly known as living wills, must describe the company's strategy for rapid and orderly resolution under bankruptcy in the event of material financial distress or failure of the company. The resolution planning process helps ensure that a firm's failure would not have serious adverse effects on the financial stability of the United States.
Comments on this proposal will be accepted for 60 days after the proposal's publication in the Federal Register.
