In the February 12, 2021 issue of the Federal Register (86 FR 9261), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau adopted a final rule that codifies the Interagency Statement Clarifying the Role of Supervisory Guidance, issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, and the Bureau (collectively, the agencies) on September 11, 2018 (2018 Statement).
