Federal brief
Regulation O comments now run through November 4
The Board extended the comment period on its proposal to modernize Regulation O, the insider-lending rule, from October 5 to November 4, 2026.
The Board’s October 2, 2026 release, bcreg20261002a, went out at 4:00 p.m. Eastern. It says the Board will extend, until November 4, the comment period on its proposal to modernize Regulation O. Comments on the proposal were originally due by October 5.
The release describes Regulation O as the rule governing the extension of credit by a bank to its insiders: bank executives, board members, and major shareholders who could potentially influence a bank’s lending decisions. It says the Board extended the period so interested parties have more time to analyze the issues and prepare their comments.
The release points to a Federal Register notice titled “Loans to Executive Officers, Directors, and Principal Shareholders of Member Banks: Bank Holding Companies,” document 2026-20509, and links the underlying proposal, bcreg20260731b. This brief does not restate the proposed rule text.
