FRB EXTENDS REGULATION O PPP EXCEPTION

On May 14, 2021, the Federal Reserve Board announced the third extension of a temporary modification to Regulation O that allows certain bank directors and shareholders to apply to their banks for PPP loans for their small businesses. The rule extension, which is effective immediately, applies to PPP loans made from March 31 through June 30, 2021. The rule change will continue to apply if the PPP is extended, with the change ultimately sunsetting on March 31, 2022. Comments will be accepted for 45 days after publication in the Federal Register.
