BILLING CODE 6450-01-P FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION 12 CFR Part 327 RIN 3064-AD07 Dividends AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period. SUMMARY: On May 18, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

(FDIC)issued a notice of proposed rulemaking with request for comments on the implementation of dividends, as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act (“Reform Act”) (see 71 FR 28804). The FDIC is extending the comment period on that notice of proposed rulemaking to August 16, 2006.

(202)898-8832. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 18, 2006, the FDIC requested comment on its proposal to implement the dividend requirements for an initial two-hear period. The proposed rule would sunset on December 31, 2008, and addresses the method for the calculation, declaration, and payment of dividends, and administrative appeals of individual dividend amounts. The proposed rule on dividends is just one of three notices of proposed rulemaking to implement certain aspects of the Reform Act published by the FDIC on the same date. At that time, the FDIC also published proposed rules on the one-time assessment credit (see 71 FR 28809) and certain procedural and operational changes to its risk-based assessments regulations in part 327 (see 71 FR 28790). In addition, the Reform Act requires the FDIC to prescribe rules on the designated reserve ratio and risk-based assessments. Those proposed rules are expected to be published in the coming weeks. The FDIC has determined that it would be most effective for comment purposes to have a longer period of overlap between the pending proposed rules on credits, dividends, and operational changes to the risk-based assessments regulations, and the upcoming proposed rules on the designated reserve ratio and risk-based assessments. All of these proposals relate in one way or another to risk-based assessments, and commenters should have a period of time during which they could, if they so choose, review all of the proposals together. Recently, ING Bank, fsb and Nationwide Bank requested that the FDIC extend the closing date for comments on the pending proposed rules to coincide with the closing date for comments on the upcoming proposed rules. While the FDIC understands the concerns expressed, a 30-day extension should provide sufficient comment period overlap to permit all of the proposals to be reviewed together, giving interested parties 90 days to comment on the three pending proposals and allowing FDIC staff to consider all comments in a timely manner. Dated at Washington, DC this 20th day of June, 2006. By order of the Board of Directors. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary.
