12 CFR § 327.13 - Special assessment pursuant to March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination.
(a) Special assessment. A special assessment shall be imposed on each insured depository institution to recover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund, as described in paragraph (b) of this section, resulting from the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1823(c)(4)(G). The special assessment shall be collected from each insured depository institution on a quarterly basis as described in this section during the initial special assessment period as defined in paragraph (i) of this section and, if necessary, on a one-time basis as described in paragraph (l) of this section.
(b) Losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund. As used in this section, “losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund” refers to losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund resulting from actions taken by the FDIC under the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination, as may be revised from time to time.
(c) Calculation of quarterly special assessment amount. An insured depository institution's special assessment for each quarter during the initial special assessment period shall be calculated by multiplying the special assessment rate defined in paragraph (i)(2) of this section by the institution's special assessment base as defined in paragraph (i)(3) of this section.
(d) Invoicing of special assessment. For each assessment period in which the special assessment is imposed, the FDIC shall advise each insured depository institution of the amount and calculation of any special assessment payment due in a form that notifies the institution of the special assessment base and special assessment rate exclusive of any other assessments imposed under this part. The FDIC shall also advise each insured depository institution subject to the special assessment of any revisions, if any, to losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund as defined in paragraph (b) of this section. This information shall be provided at the same time as the institution's quarterly certified statement invoice under § 327.2 for the assessment period in which the special assessment was imposed.
(e) Payment of quarterly special assessment amount. Each insured depository institution shall pay to the Corporation any special assessment imposed under this section in compliance with and subject to the provisions of §§ 327.3, 327.6, and 327.7. The date for any special assessment payment shall be the date provided in § 327.3(b)(2) for the institution's quarterly certified statement invoice for the calendar quarter in which the special assessment was imposed.
(f) Uninsured deposits. For purposes of this section, the term “uninsured deposits” means an institution's estimated uninsured deposits as reported in Memoranda Item 2 on Schedule RC-O, Other Data For Deposit Insurance Assessments in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) or Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002) for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, reported as of the later of:
(1) November 2, 2023, adjusted for mergers prior to March 12, 2023; or
(2) The date of the institution's most recent amendment to its Call Report or FFIEC 002 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, if such amendment arises from, or is confirmed through, the FDIC's Assessment Reporting Review. Institutions with less than $1 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2021, were not required to report such items; therefore, for purposes of calculating the special assessment or a shortfall special assessment under this section, the amount of uninsured deposits for such institutions as of December 31, 2022, is zero.
(g) Five billion dollar deduction from the special assessment base—institution's portion. For purposes of this section, an institution's portion of the $5 billion deduction shall equal the ratio of the institution's uninsured deposits to the sum of the institution's uninsured deposits and the uninsured deposits of all of the institution's affiliated insured depository institutions, multiplied by $5 billion.
(h) Affiliates. For the purposes of this section, an affiliated insured depository institution is an insured depository institution that meets the definition of “affiliate” in section 3 of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. 1813(w)(6).
(i) Special assessment during initial special assessment period—(1) Initial special assessment period. The initial special assessment period shall begin with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024 and end the last quarterly assessment period of 2025.
(2) Special assessment rate during initial special assessment period. The special assessment rate during the first seven quarters of the initial special assessment period is 3.36 basis points on a quarterly basis, and the rate during the last quarterly assessment period of 2025 is 2.97 basis points.
(3) Special assessment base during initial special assessment period.
(i) The special assessment base for an insured depository institution during the initial special assessment period that has no affiliated insured depository institution shall equal:
(A) The institution's uninsured deposits; minus
(B) Five billion dollars; provided, however, that an institution's assessment base cannot be negative.
(ii) The special assessment base for an insured depository institution during the initial special assessment period that has one or more affiliated insured depository institutions shall equal:
(A) The institution's uninsured deposits; minus
(B) The institution's portion of the $5 billion deduction; provided, however, that an institution's special assessment base cannot be negative.
(j) Effect of mergers, consolidations, and other terminations of insurance on the special assessment—(1) Final quarterly certified invoice for acquired institution. The surviving or resulting insured depository institution in a merger or consolidation shall be liable for any unpaid special assessment or one-time final shortfall special assessment outstanding at the time of the merger or consolidation on the part of the institution that is not the resulting or surviving institution consistent with § 327.6.
(2) Special assessment for quarter in which the merger or consolidation occurs and subsequent quarters. If an insured depository institution is the surviving or resulting institution in a merger or consolidation or acquires all or substantially all of the assets, or assumes all or substantially all of the deposit liabilities, of an insured depository institution, then the surviving or resulting insured depository institution or the insured depository institution that acquires such assets or assumes such deposit liabilities, shall be liable for the acquired institutions' special assessment from the quarter of the acquisition through the remainder of the initial special assessment period, including any one-time final shortfall special assessment.
(3) Other termination. When the insured status of an institution is terminated, and the deposit liabilities of such institution are not assumed by another insured depository institution, the special assessment and any shortfall special assessment shall be paid consistent with § 327.6(c). When an insured depository institution voluntarily terminates its deposit insurance, the institution shall be liable for any unpaid special assessment or one-time final shortfall special assessment outstanding at the time of the termination and all future special assessments, if any, the institution would have been invoiced through the remainder of the initial special assessment period, as applicable, including any one-time final shortfall special assessment for which the institution has been given notice before termination. Any special assessment or one-time final shortfall special assessment liabilities will be included, in full, on the final quarterly assessment invoice following voluntary termination.
(k) Corrective reporting amendments—(1) Recalculation of quarterly special assessment amount. Corrective amendments to an institution's uninsured deposits that arise from, or are confirmed through, the FDIC's Assessment Reporting Review will apply retroactively beginning the first quarterly collection period of the initial special assessment period. An institution's special assessment base and portion of the $5 billion deduction, along with the portion of the $5 billion deduction allocated to the institution's affiliated insured depository institutions, will be recalculated for prior collection quarters. Any overpayment or underpayment in prior collection quarters as a result of the recalculation will be invoiced as described in paragraph (k)(2) of this section.
(2) Invoicing overpayment and underpayment. Any underpayment of the special assessment by an institution as the result of corrective amendments to uninsured deposits will be included, in full and with interest, on the invoice for the quarter following the date a corrective amendment is filed. If a corrective amendment results in an overpayment of the special assessment, the institution will be credited the overpayment amount, with interest, and such amount will be applied to the institution's subsequent special assessment invoices beginning in the quarter following the date of the amendment. If any excess credit amount remains after the end of the initial special assessment period, the excess credit amount shall be refunded to the institution. Payment and collection of interest on amounts resulting from overpayment and underpayment of the special assessment shall be consistent with § 327.7.
(l) One-time final shortfall special assessment. If the aggregate amount of the special assessment collected does not meet or exceed the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund, as calculated after the receiverships resulting from the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination are terminated, insured depository institutions shall pay a one-time final shortfall special assessment in accordance with this paragraph (l).
(1) Notification of one-time final shortfall special assessment. The FDIC shall notify each insured depository institution of the amount of such institution's one-time final shortfall special assessment no later than 45 days before such shortfall assessment is due.
(2) Aggregate one-time final shortfall special assessment amount. The aggregate amount of the one-time final shortfall special assessment imposed across all insured depository institutions shall equal the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund, as of termination of the receiverships to which the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination applied, minus the aggregate amount of the special assessment collected under this section less any amount applied as an offset, as described in paragraph (p)(1)(i) of this section, including the net amount of interest paid or received as a result of overpayments and underpayments.
(3) One-time final shortfall special assessment rate. The final shortfall special assessment rate shall be the aggregate final shortfall special assessment amount divided by the total amount of uninsured deposits, as described in paragraph (f) of this section, adjusted for mergers, consolidation, and termination of insurance as of the assessment period preceding the final shortfall special assessment period, minus the $5 billion deduction for each insured depository institution or each institution's portion of the $5 billion deduction.
(4) One-time final shortfall special assessment base.
(i) The one-time final shortfall special assessment base for an insured depository institution that has no affiliated insured depository institution shall equal:
(A) The institution's uninsured deposits; minus
(B) $5 billion; provided, however, that an institution's one-time final shortfall special assessment base cannot be negative.
(ii) The one-time final shortfall special assessment base for an insured depository institution that has one or more affiliated insured depository institutions shall equal:
(A) The institution's uninsured deposits; minus
(B) The institution's portion of the $5 billion deduction, adjusted for termination of insurance as of the assessment period preceding the final shortfall assessment period; provided, however, that an institution's one-time final shortfall special assessment base cannot be negative.
(5) Calculation of one-time final shortfall special assessment. An insured depository institution's final shortfall special assessment shall be calculated by multiplying the final shortfall special assessment rate by the institution's one-time final shortfall special assessment base.
(6) One-time final special assessment. The one-time final shortfall special assessment shall be collected on a one-time quarterly basis after losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund are determined after termination of the receiverships to which the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination applied.
(7) Payment, invoicing, and mergers. Paragraphs (d), (e), and (j) of this section are applicable to the one-time shortfall special assessment.
(m) Request for revisions. An insured depository institution may submit a written request for revision of the computation of any special assessment or shortfall special assessment pursuant to this part consistent with § 327.3(f).
(n) Special assessment collection in excess of losses. Any special assessment collected under this section that exceeds the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund, as of termination of the receiverships to which the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination applied, shall be placed in the Deposit Insurance Fund.
(o) Rule of construction. Nothing in this section shall prevent the FDIC from imposing additional special assessments as required to recover current or future losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund resulting from any systemic risk determination under 12 U.S.C. 1823(c)(4)(G).
(p) Assessment offsets. The FDIC will provide offsets, in accordance with this paragraph (p), to the quarterly risk-based assessments calculated under § 327.3(b)(1), of institutions that have paid the special assessment.
(1) Timing. Assessment offsets will be provided if the aggregate amount of the special assessment collected exceeds the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund as of:
(i) The final unappealable judgment or settlement of the litigation between the FDIC and SVB Financial Trust (Case No. 5:24-cv-01321-BLF, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California); and
(ii) The termination of the receiverships to which the March 12, 2023, systemic risk determination applied.
(2) Application of offsets. Assessment offsets will be included on the quarterly certified statement invoice(s) for the assessment period following the timing provisions in paragraphs (p)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section, if applicable.
(3) Calculation. To determine an institution's offset amount, the FDIC will calculate the percentage that an insured depository institution contributed towards the total amount of the special assessment collected and then multiply that percentage by the amount of special assessment collected in excess of losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund at the time of the calculation.
(4) Mergers, consolidations, and other terminations of insurance. An offset under this paragraph (p) shall be provided to the surviving or resulting insured depository institution that acquired, merged with, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets, or assumes all or substantially all of the deposit liabilities, of an insured depository that paid the special assessment. No offset, credit, or refund will be provided to an institution with an insured status that has been terminated, and for which the deposit liabilities of such institution were not assumed by another insured depository institution.
