The FDIC is issuing a final rule ("Final Rule") to implement certain provisions of its authority to resolve covered financial companies under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act" or the "Act"). The Final Rule will establish a more comprehensive framework for the implementation of the FDIC's orderly liquidation authority and will provide greater transparency to the process for the orderly liquidation of a systemically important financial institution under the Dodd-Frank Act.
