The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is rescinding and removing the former OTS regulation entitled "Possession by Conservators and Receivers for Federal and State Savings Associations" from the Code of Federal Regulations because it is not necessary. This rule was included in the regulations that were transferred to the FDIC from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) on July 21, 2011, in connection with the implementation of Title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).
