The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has approved a notice of proposed rulemaking that would mitigate the deposit insurance assessment effects of participating in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program and the Federal Reserve Board’s Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility and Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility. The proposed rule would ensure that banks will not be subject to significantly higher deposit insurance assessments for participating in these programs. The FDIC is proposing an effective date by June 30, 2020, and an application date of April 1, 2020. Comments on the proposed rule will be accepted for seven days after publication in the Federal Register.
