Summary

On a date the Board of Directors picks, every insured System bank that was insured before the period being charged must file a certified statement with the Corporation. The statement must show the bank’s average outstanding insured obligations for the period, average amounts for eight types of covered items (including federal- and state-guaranteed loans and investments, both in accrual status and not permanently impaired, plus loans in nonaccrual status and other-than-temporarily impaired investments), and the premium owed for the period. The Board will set the form and supporting details. The statement must be signed by the bank president or another officer the bank’s board names, who must say it is true, correct, complete, and prepared under the rules. Each bank must pay the premium in the way and at the times the Board requires, but not more often than once in each calendar quarter. The premium amount must be set no later than 60 days after the bank files the certified statement that specifies the premium. The Board will make rules to enforce these requirements and may limit any retroactive effect of those rules.
