01-16321. Draft 2001-2006 Strategic Plan

ACTION:

Request for comment.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), in accordance with the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, has developed a draft of its 2001-2006 Strategic Plan. The FDIC is now soliciting for consideration the views and suggestions of stakeholders potentially affected by or interested in this plan.

The draft strategic plan covers a five-year period and provides a framework for implementing the agency's mission of contributing to stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system. This is accomplished through the FDIC's three major program areas—Insurance, Supervision, and Receivership Management—that work to achieve the following results:

• Protection of insured depositors from loss, without recourse to taxpayer funding,
• Safety and soundness of insured depository institutions,
• Protection of consumers' rights and the investment by FDIC-supervised institutions in their communities, and
• Recovery to creditors of receiverships.

The plan can be reviewed on the FDIC's website, http://www.fdic.gov,, in the “About FDIC” section.
