The OCC, Fed, FDIC, and NCUA proposed new interagency guidance on third-party risk management in September, replacing the 2023 guidance that banks said was overly broad and checklist-driven.

The Senate failed to clear a procedural hurdle for the Clarity Act on September 15, with 49 votes in favor, short of the 60 needed.
