Washington, DC 20551 Via email at [email protected] RE: FDIC RIN 3064-AD95, FDIC RIN 3064-AD96, and FDIC RIN 3064-AD97 Dear Mr. Feldman and Ms. Johnson: I am a member of the board of directors of BayCoast Bank (the "Bank") and appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations proposed Basel III Notices of Proposed Rulemaking issued in June 2012 requiring all banking organizations to comply with Basel III pronouncements and standardized approach NPR. For the following reasons, I believe that it is my responsibility as a director to let you know that I believe the implementation of this requirement will do great damage not only to our bank, but also to all similar community banks in the country. In addition, it will adversely affect the ability of such banks to provide needed services and products to local people and businesses. At a time when the politics of the moment is correctly focusing on facilitating programs and other methods of assistance for small businesses such as our bank and, more importantly, for our customers, it is unfortunate that this requirement is currently under serious consideration. Bay Coast Bank is a Massachusetts chartered bank established in 1851 that offers a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through fifteen offices in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

  • The People's Capital: the Politics of Popular Wealth In
    The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age By Robert Gabriel Nelson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Caitlin Rosenthal Professor David Henkin Professor Chrisopher Tomlins Spring 2019 1 Abstract The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age by Robert Gabriel Nelson Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair The proliferation of financial practices and institutions throughout the mass of American society throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century produced a wide range of social effects. From changing discourses about racial progress and equality to aspirations for integrating rebellious workers into a system of financial-industrial capitalism, anxieties about financial panics to the possibilities of worker-owned cooperatives, popular engagement with the financial apparatus became the very stuff of American life. This dissertation looks at a wide range of primary sources— political pamphlets, bank statements, cooperative prospectuses, reform newspapers, trade journals, novels, and congressional testimony—to link changes in the form and nature of popular wealth to the development of mass politics. As the scattered but substantial wealth of the American working classes began to congeal in institutional forms, a wide variety of historical actors struggled over what to do with the people’s capital. i Acknowledgments As is the case with all dissertations, “The People’s Capital” reflects the hard work, attention, and dedication of many individuals.

  • The Mutual Savings Bank Crisis
    Chapter 6 TheThe MutualMutual SavingsSavings BankBank CrisisCrisis Introduction The first major crisis the FDIC had to confront in the 1980s was the threatened insol- vency of a large number of mutual savings banks (MSBs). Historically, state laws had re- stricted these thrift institutions to investing in long-term, fixed-rate assets; and traditionally, the majority of MSB liabilities were in passbook savings accounts paying a low rate of in- terest. Until the 1970s, this manner of operating had enabled mutual savings banks to pros- per throughout most of their history. However, in the 1970s the combined forces of rising interest rates, increased competition for deposits, and legal restrictions on diversifying the asset side of the balance sheet quickly overwhelmed many thrift institutions. During the first three years of the 1980s the mutual savings bank industry sustained operating losses of nearly $3.3 billion, an amount equivalent to more than 28 percent of the industrys general reserves at year-end 1980. Losses at some individual MSBs were even higher, and these in- stitutions experienced a rapid depletion of capital. This chapter describes the relatively unique development and history of mutual savings banks in the United States and the causes of the crisis that peaked in the early 1980s; it also discusses the regulatory and congres- sional responses to the problem. Background Mutual savings banks in the United States date to 1816, when the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society began operations on a voluntary basis and the Provident Institution for Sav- ings in Boston was granted the first savings bank charter.1 Originally MSBs were organized to help the working and lower classes by providing a safe place where the small saver, then shunned by commercial banks, could deposit money and earn interest.

  • Insurance Times: Industry-Supported NY Claims Reg
    Insurance Times: Industry-Supported NY Claims Reg. 68 Again Rejected By Court February 20, 2001, Vol. XX No. 4 by Mark Hollmer InsuranceTimes New York's proposed reform of the state's no-fault regulations - which was intended to reduce fraud -- have now been rejected twice by the courts. The state's Appellate Division, First Department upheld a New York State Supreme Court decision last June that threw out reforms to auto insurance Regulation 68 because of errors in the way they were launched. Joanna Rose, the state's Insurance Department spokesperson, said that the latest legal decision was "made again on procedural grounds and it didn't go to the merits of the regulations" themselves. "So we are currently reviewing the decisions of both courts and trying to decide the best way to proceed." The department proposed a number of changes, including reducing the time an insured has to report an accident to an insurer from 90 days to 30; the deadline for medical providers to file claims for auto insurance policy-related medical serviced was also initially slashed from 180 days to 45. Not surprisingly, insurance lobbyists condemned the Feb. 6 Appellate Division decision, and the state Trial Lawyers Association applauded it. "This ruling will do nothing but hamper insurers' efforts to fight fraud and lower costs," David Snyder, American Insurance Association general counsel, said in a written statement. Joseph Termini, associate counsel with the National Association of Independent Insurers, said in a written statement that the court's decision hurts consumers and insurers alike. "There is no reasonable or legitimate reason to allow insurance claims to be submitted up to six months after an accident, which is the case now," he said.
