On December 8, 2009, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued an Open Government Directive, requiring federal agencies to take specific steps to implement the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration in their operations.

In order to comply with this directive, the FDIC presents the following information:

FDIC Data
FDIC Data Sets on Data.gov:

• Institution Directory (ID) – ID provides a list of all FDIC-insured institutions. The file includes demographic information as well as key financial information related to the institution.
• 2009 Summary of Deposits – The SOD download file contains deposit data for branches and offices of all FDIC-insured institutions.
• Failed Bank List – the FDIC is often appointed receiver for failed banks. This list includes banks which have failed since October 1, 2000.

FDIC Data Tools – Links to searchable databases containing banking industry, historical or sales information.

FDIC Open Government Plan – Due April 7, 2010
As a part of the Open Government Directive, each agency in the federal government is responsible for publishing a plan that describes how it will improve transparency and integrate public participation and collaboration into its activities. As a part of this process we will be asking for your input on how we can better be of service. Start thinking about what you would like the FDIC to provide online, send your comments through email at opengov@fdic.gov and check back for more soon about how you can participate.
