The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is hosting
this EGRPRA.gov web site on its servers to facilitate a
regulation review project pursuant to Section 2222 of the
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996
(EGRPRA). The five U.S. government agencies working on this
regulation review project are the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the
National Credit Union Administration (the Agencies). The FDIC
is applying its Privacy Policy to this web site, modified as
necessary to reflect the Agencies' EGRPRA review project.
The Agencies are strongly committed to maintaining the
privacy of your personal information. The following discloses
our information gathering and dissemination practices for
this site. The information the FDIC or the Agencies receive
depends upon your actions when visiting this web site.

Other than the automatic data collection described above,
this site collects no personally identifying information.
The sole exception is when you knowingly and voluntarily
provide information.
The EGRPRA web site does not use "cookies," which are files
placed on your computer hard drive that would allow the FDIC web
server to log the pages you use in the EGRPRA site and to
determine if you have visited the site before.

programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized

damage. Such attempts are strictly prohibited and may be
punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no
other attempts are made to identify individual users or their
