Summary

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is proposing to amend its regulations pertaining to the operation of the Financing Corporation (FICO), a vehicle established by one of FHFA's predecessors to issue bonds, the proceeds of which were used to help fund the resolution of failed savings and loan associations during the 1980s. The last of those FICO bonds will mature in September 2019. By statute, FICO obtains the monies to pay the interest on those bonds by assessing depository institutions (FICO assessments) that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The proposed rule addresses the manner in which FICO would conduct the 2019 FICO assessments, which are expected to be the last of those assessments. Specifically, the proposed rule would provide that all payments made by FDIC-insured depository institutions during 2019 will be final, and that no adjustments to prior FICO assessments would be permitted after March 26, 2019, the projected date as of which the FDIC will finalize the amounts of the final collection for the 2019 FICO assessments.
