WASHINGTON — Federal regulators announced Monday they were extending the deadline by a year for 14 regional banks to submit their next filings of living wills.
The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said in a joint statement that they were giving the banks an extension to Dec. 31, 2019, "to allow additional time for the agencies to provide feedback to the firms on their last submissions and for the firms to produce their next plan submissions."

Under the recent bill, banks with less than $100 billion are no longer subject to living will requirements.
“The agencies will announce further actions as a result of the new law at a later date,” the Fed and FDIC said.
The 14 regional banks subject to the filing extension announced Monday are: Ally Financial Inc., BB&T Corp., Citizens Financial Group, Fifth Third Bancorp, Huntington Bancshares Inc., KeyCorp, M&T Bank Corp., Northern Trust Corp., Regions Financial Corp., SunTrust Banks Inc., PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and U.S. Bancorp.
