Snippet: Fed’s regulatory powers may be curbed

09 Mar.

Several ranking members of the Senate Banking Committee have reached a tentative consensus on a plan that would strip the Fed of regulatory powers over all but the largest banks, those with more than $100 billion in assets.

The plan would remove Fed oversight from all but 23 of the 4,974 bank holding companies, which have a collective $16.7 trillion in assets, and from 874 state-chartered member banks that are members of the Fed system and that have a total of $1.7 trillion in assets.

The vast majority of the bank holding companies would be overseen by a regulatory agency formed from a merger of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees national banks, and the Office of Thrift Supervision, which regulates savings and loans, the individuals said.

Regulation of the state banks would go to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which already oversees about 5,000 banks that are not part of the Fed system.
