Summary

Certain federal agencies may make rules to carry out this chapter. They can allow a management official to serve in a job that sections 3202 or 3203 would normally forbid, as long as that service would not create a monopoly or substantially cut competition. Those rules may be made by (1) the Comptroller of the Currency for national banks and FDIC‑insured Federal savings associations, (2) the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve for State member banks, bank holding companies, and savings and loan holding companies, (3) the FDIC Board for FDIC‑insured State nonmember banks and State savings associations, and (4) the National Credit Union Administration for credit unions with NCUA‑insured accounts.
