The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has extended the public comment period for its proposed rule on disclosure of information. The comment deadline moves from August 31, 2026 to October 5, 2026, as noted in the notice (FR Doc No: 2026-17649, RIN 3064-AG30).

The proposal, originally published on June 30, 2026 (91 FR 39726), would update, clarify, and supplement FDIC regulations governing the disclosure of confidential information. It seeks to enhance insured depository institutions' ability to share supervisory information with affiliates and certain other entities for appropriate business purposes without prior FDIC authorization, simplify the agency's discretionary disclosure requirements, and revise rules related to Freedom of Information Act disclosures, legal proceedings, and service of process.

Comments must be submitted by October 5, 2026 and may be directed to the FDIC through its website, mail, hand delivery, or email. The mailing address is Jennifer M. Jones, Deputy Executive Secretary, Attention: Comments - RIN 3064-AG30, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20429. Email submissions should include RIN 3064-AG30 on the subject line. The agency will post comments, subject to redaction of inappropriate material, on its public inspection site. Identical comments may be represented by a single example with an indication of the number of similar submissions.

For further information, contact Sonya L. Allen, Regional Counsel (816) 234-8036, [email protected]; Bruce W. Hickey, Senior Counsel (202) 898-6748, [email protected]; or Andrew A. Lubash, Senior Attorney (703) 562-6209, [email protected]. The proposed rule, all public comments, and a 100-word summary are available at https://www.fdic.gov/federal-register-publications.
