DALLAS, TEXAS

April 6, 2001
Notice 01-30

TO: The Chief Executive Officer of each
financial institution and others concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SUBJECT
Effective Date on Bank Insurance Rules Extended
DETAILS
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision
extended the effective date of consumer protection rules for the sale of insurance products by
depository institutions. The new effective date will be October 1, 2001, rather than the original
date of
April 1, 2001.
The rules, which implement section 305 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, were jointly
published on December 4, 2000 (this Bank’s Notice 00-81). After issuing the final rules, the
banking agencies found that a significant number of institutions required additional time to fully
implement the requirements of the regulation. The extension will allow more time to change
systems, alter forms, gain state regulatory approvals, and train personnel.
