Thresholds Increase for the Major Assets Prohibition of the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act Rule

The NCUA Board (Board) is seeking comment on a proposed rule that would increase two thresholds in its regulation implementing management official interlocks for purposes of the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act (DIMIA). DIMIA provides that the NCUA may adjust, by regulation, the major assets prohibition thresholds to allow for inflation or market changes. This proposal would increase both major assets prohibition thresholds to $10 billion to account for changes in the United States banking market since 1996. Additionally, the proposal would remove a presumption related to depository institutions controlled or managed by persons who are members of a minority group or women.
