On 4/9/2021, the FDIC announced that it is again seeking the public’s input on potential modernization of its sign and advertising requirements to better reflect how banks and savings associations operate and how consumers use banking services. This request for information reopens a notice the FDIC originally published in the Federal Register on 2/19/2020, just prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Given the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDIC temporarily postponed this effort on April 16, 2020. The goal of this request is to solicit public input regarding potential changes to its official sign and advertising rules, as the last significant updates to these rules were in 2006.
