To ensure an orderly phaseout of the Debt Guarantee Program (DGP), a component of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), the FDIC is establishing a limited emergency guarantee facility. For most insured depository institutions and other entities participating in the DGP, the Debt Guarantee Program will conclude on October 31, 2009, with the FDIC’s guarantee expiring no later than December 31, 2012. To the extent that certain of those entities become unable to issue non-guaranteed debt to replace maturing senior unsecured debt because of market disruptions or other circumstances beyond their control, the emergency guarantee facility will be available on an application basis. In order to utilize the emergency guarantee facility, an entity must apply to, and receive prior approval from, the FDIC. If the application is approved, the FDIC will guarantee the applicant’s senior unsecured debt issued on or before April 30, 2010. Debt guaranteed under the emergency guarantee facility will be subject to an annualized assessment rate equal to a minimum of 300 basis points

Effective Date:This rule is effective October 23, 2009
