Subject: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation: Special Assessment Pursuant to Systemic
         Risk Determination

Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major
rule promulgated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) entitled Special
Assessment  Pursuant to Systemic Risk Determination (RIN: 3064-AF93). We received the
rule on December 4, 2023. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on November
29, 2023. 88 Fed. Reg. 83329. The effective date is April 1, 2024.

FDIC  states that the final rule implements a special assessment to recover the loss to the
Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) arising from the protection of uninsured depositors following the
closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, CA, and Signature Bank, New York, NY. FDIC
further states that the agency will collect a $16.3 billion special assessment at a quarterly rate of
3.36 basis points, multiplied by an insured depository institution's (IDI) estimated uninsured
deposits, reported for the first quarter that ended December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the
first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits from the IDI, or for IDIs that are part of a holding
company  with one or more subsidiary IDIs, at the banking organization level. FDIC explains
that it will collect this special assessment over eight quarterly assessment periods, although the
collection period may change due to updates to the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk
determination or if assessments collected change due to corrective amendments to the amount
of uninsured deposits reported for the December 31, 2022, reporting period.

Enclosed is our assessment of FDIC's compliance with the procedural steps required by
section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions
about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to
