FDIC to Tweak Large-Bank Assessment Plan

WASHINGTON — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is expected Tuesday to propose targeted changes to how banks with more than $10 billion of assets pay deposit-insurance premiums.

The adjustments stem from concerns institutions have raised about the FDIC's new assessment scheme for large banks, which the agency instituted last year. The new pricing formula added factors considered better indicators of a large bank's risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund. But among large institutions' concerns has been how certain items used in the formula are defined in call reporting.

The agenda for the FDIC's board meeting, scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, also includes discussion about how affiliate contracts would be treated under the agency's new authority — mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act — to resolve failing companies deemed systemically risky.
