Cross/Bloomberg NewsThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. board is forming a special committee to oversee an independent review of the agency’s workplace culture, the agency said Tuesday, restricting the ability of the rest of the board—including the chairman—to influence the investigation. The special committee, created by a unanimous vote of the board, will be led by Republican Jonathan McKernan, who was confirmed to the board by the Senate late last year, and Democrat Michael Hsu, who has served as acting comptroller of the currency and an FDIC board member since 2021.

FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg was also cited in the reports as having earned a reputation for bullying and leniency in cases of misconduct. The special committee will be co-chaired by two FDIC board members, acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu, a Democrat, and board member Jonathan McKernan, a Republican. Last week, McKernan and FDIC Vice Chair Travis Hill, also a Republican, had demanded that Gruenberg recuse himself from oversight of any review. The board resolution approving the review includes provisions "that restrict the ability of FDIC management and FDIC Board members not on the Special Committee to engage with or influence the review," Hill said, noting that his support of the decision had depended on that condition. In a statement, Sherrod Brown, a Democrat and chair of the Senate Banking Committee who last week called on FDIC inspector general's office to investigate, said the FDIC board had taken "appropriate steps" to ensure its own review would proceed independently.

In a statement, FDIC Vice Chairman Travis Hill and board member Jonathan McKernan said that "at a minimum" Gruenberg and FDIC General Counsel Harrel Pettway should recuse themselves from the internal review of workplace conduct at the agency. "It is clear Mr. Gruenberg never should have been reappointed or confirmed in the first place," McHenry said. McHenry also said Gruenberg had "initially misled" the committee during testimony on Wednesday, at first claiming he had not been the subject of an investigation to his workplace conduct before acknowledging that he had.

Their risk-level assessments have been the basis for informing how much capital they need to hold on top of baseline requirements. Silicon Valley Bank accumulated a lot of paper losses, or unrealized losses, from holding bonds while the Fed hiked interest rates. But it did not need to hold capital to protect depositors from those losses. Some also expressed concerns that banks would pass on their higher capital costs to consumers in the form of higher fees to maintain their profit levels. However, UBS, Citizens Bank and Capital One will have to hold more capital.

Senate Confirms Martin Gruenberg to New Term Atop FDIC
  + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( Andrew Ackerman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Martin Gruenberg, chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, first joined the FDIC board in 2005, during the George W. Bush administration. WASHINGTON—The Senate confirmed Martin Gruenberg for a second term as the head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., capping a turbulent period for the agency and cementing Democratic leadership on the bank regulator’s board. The Senate move officially wraps up an episode from a year ago in which the board’s Democratic majority put pressure on its Republican chairwoman at the time, Jelena McWilliams , prompting her to resign more than a year before her term ended. The chamber on Monday also added two Republicans, Travis Hill and Jonathan McKernan, to the banking regulator’s board, in a deal that provided the five-member agency with a full complement of board members for the first time since 2015.
