The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is issuing
an interim final rule to add a provision to its part 32 lending limits
regulation that will address temporary funding arrangements in
emergency situations. The interim final rule will enable the OCC to
establish a special lending limit for loans and extensions of credit
that the OCC determines are essential to address an emergency situation
(such as critical financial markets stability), will be of short
duration, will be reduced in amount in a timeframe and manner
acceptable to the OCC, and do not present unacceptable risk to the
lending national bank. In granting approval for a special temporary
lending limit, the OCC would impose supervisory oversight and reporting
measures that it determines are appropriate.
