The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has adopted the attached two final rules implementing changes to Regulation O (12 C.F.R., Part 215) , which governs loans to executive officers, Directors, and principal shareholders of member banks ("insiders"). The FDIC has incorporated applicable sections of Regulation O by cross-reference in Section 337.3 of its Rules and Regulations. Therefore, Regulation O provisions apply to insured state nonmember banks, their subsidiaries and insiders, and related interests of insiders in the same manner and to the same extent as if the bank were a member bank. The first rule became effective on November 4, 1996; the second, April 1, 1997. A summary of the amendments follows.
