Subject: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation: Recordkeeping for Timely Deposit
        Insurance 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
Recordkeeping for Timely Deposit Insurance Determination (RIN: 3064-AE33). We
received the rule on December 16, 2016. It was published in the Federal Register as a
final rule on December 5, 2016, with an effective date of April 1,2017. 81 Fed. Reg.
87,734.

The final rule requires each insured depository institution that has two million or more
deposit accounts to (1) configure its information technology system to be capable of
calculating the insured and uninsured amount in each deposit account by ownership
right and capacity, which would be used by FDIC to make deposit insurance
determinations in the event of the institution's failure, and (2) maintain complete and
accurate information needed by FDIC to determine deposit insurance coverage with
respect to each deposit account, except as otherwise provided. FDIC states that it is
adopting this final rule to facilitate prompt payment of FDIC-insured deposits when large
insured depository institutions fail.

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. Our review of the
procedural steps taken indicates that FDIC complied with the applicable requirements.
