12 CFR 1102.7: ASC determination.

(a) Order by the ASC. Within 90 calendar days of the date of publication of the notice in the Federal Register, the ASC, by Order, shall either grant or deny a waiver, in whole or in part, and upon specified terms and conditions, including provisions for waiver termination. The Order shall be published in the Federal Register, which in the case of an Order approving a waiver, shall only be published after FFIEC approval of the waiver (see paragraph (b) of this section). Such Order shall respond to comments received from interested members of the public and shall provide the reasons for the ASC's finding(s).

(b) Approval by the FFIEC. Any ASC Order approving a waiver shall be effective only upon FFIEC approval of the waiver. FFIEC consideration of a waiver is not subject to the ASC's 90-day timeframe for a determination.
