The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) is inviting comment on a proposed rule that would require its supervised banks to establish and maintain effective anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs reasonably designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks of illicit finance. Among other changes, this proposed rule would ensure that Board-supervised banks establish and maintain effective AML/CFT programs that are intended to better achieve the purposes of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), culminating in the development of highly useful information related to illicit financial transactions for law enforcement and national security agencies. The amendments are intended to align with changes to AML/CFT program requirements proposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to implement provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act) and corresponding changes proposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) (collectively, "the Agencies") on April 10, 2026.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is inviting comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking that would update, clarify, and supplement the FDIC's regulations regarding the disclosure of confidential information by the FDIC and other parties, including by enhancing the ability of insured depository institutions to share confidential supervisory information with affiliates and certain other entities for appropriate business purposes, without seeking prior authorization from the FDIC. The proposal also would significantly simplify and clarify the requirements and restrictions applicable to the FDIC's discretionary disclosure of confidential information. Finally, the proposal would update and simplify the FDIC's rules regarding disclosures required under the Freedom of Information Act and would clarify how and when FDIC information may be disclosed in connection with legal proceedings and as a result of service of process made upon the FDIC and its directors, officers, and employees.
