12 U.S.C. § 1831m–1 — Reports of information regarding safety and soundness of depository institutions

(a) Reports to appropriate Federal banking agencies
(1) Unless another law forbids it, the Attorney General, Secretary of the Treasury, and head of any other United States agency or instrumentality must disclose to the appropriate Federal banking agency^* information that the official believes raises significant concerns about the safety or soundness of a depository institution doing business in the United States.
(2)(A) Intelligence information. (i) The Director^* of Central Intelligence must give the Attorney General or Secretary of the Treasury intelligence information that otherwise would be reported under paragraph (1). After consulting the Director, that official must disclose it to the appropriate Federal banking agency. (ii) Each appropriate Federal banking agency, consulting the Director, must establish procedures that adequately protect intelligence information it receives. (B) Investigations and safety. If the Attorney General, Secretary, or designee determines disclosure could jeopardize a pending civil investigation or litigation, a pending criminal investigation or prosecution, cause serious bodily injury or death to government employees, informants, witnesses, or their families, or reveal sensitive investigative techniques, the official must (i) give the banking agency a description as specific as possible without causing those harms and (ii) allow the agency a full review at a place and under procedures the Attorney General determines will protect the information while allowing the agency to protect the institution's safety and soundness. (C) Grand juries and criminal procedure. Paragraph (1) does not apply to an agency's receipt of information connected with a pending grand-jury investigation, and it does not require disclosure forbidden by Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

(b) Procedures for receipt of disclosure reports
(1) Within 90 days after October 28, 1992, each appropriate Federal banking agency must establish procedures for receiving reports under subsection (a)(1). The procedures must adequately protect disclosed information, including through access controls and accountability for the information.
(2) When a report arrives, the agency must consult the disclosing agency about whether the procedures are adequate and adjust them as needed.

(c) Effect on agencies
This section does not require the Attorney General, Secretary, or any United States agency or instrumentality to collect new information or review existing information.

(d) Definitions
Here, “appropriate Federal banking agency” and “depository institution” have the meanings given in section 1818. This section does not define those terms.
