Community Banks Examination Cycle

Agencies reduce regulatory burden for community banks, increase eligibility for 18-month exam cycle

FRB Press Releases | neutral | Published: 16:00 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

The Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC have jointly issued an interim final rule raising the total asset threshold for community banks eligible for an extended 18-month on-site examination cycle, increasing the limit from $3 billion to $6 billion. The change implements a provision of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and is intended to reduce regulatory burden—including time and resource costs—for small, low-risk institutions. To qualify, institutions must still meet statutory criteria, including being rated well managed and well capitalized. The rule also applies parallel changes to examination cycle regulations for U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. Off-site monitoring between scheduled exams will continue under existing supervisory practice. The interim final rule takes effect upon publication in the Federal Register, with a 30-day public comment period.

The FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule on September 10, 2026, expanding eligibility for an 18-month on-site examination cycle for certain community banks.

The rule was jointly issued by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Ukraine war briefing: Nato ‘foils Russian undersea cable sabotage drill’

Guardian | negative | Subscription | Published: 22:31 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

This Guardian war briefing covers multiple developments in the Ukraine conflict. NATO forces reportedly intercepted Russian ships near the Svalbard archipelago that were rehearsing attacks on undersea cables using a secret submersible-deployed weapon, with British and Norwegian officials subsequently presenting their findings to Moscow; CIA director John Ratcliffe's August visit to Moscow reportedly included a warning against escalating sabotage operations in Europe. In the UK, Joshua Cammidge, 31, appeared in a London court on charges of assisting Russian military intelligence (GRU) in a plot to sabotage drone manufacturing sites in Swindon. A Ukrainian missile strike caused damage near the Lukoil oil refinery in Volgograd, while Ukrainian drones set fire to an Ozon warehouse in Saratov. Russian airstrikes injured eight people and set fire to an apartment building in Kyiv. Poland's prime minister Donald Tusk said services foiled a threat to a Ukraine border crossing and warned of further expected attacks; separately, drones struck a Ukraine-Moldova border crossing in Odesa, killing two. A Russian strike on a shopping centre in Pavlohrad killed at least five and injured 76. Two people were killed and five injured in a Russian attack on a US-owned sunflower oil factory in Dnipro. Canada pledged C$350m in defence support and C$450m in energy loan guarantees to Ukraine during a Zelenskyy visit. Amnesty International reported that Russia is trafficking foreign nationals — including citizens of Brazil, Colombia, Sri Lanka, and South Africa — into military service through deceptive recruitment.
