• There are two types of examiners included in the Examiner Pool ? those currently employed by another state banking department or those recently retired from a state banking department, the FDIC, or the Federal Reserve. If the examiner is currently employed by a state banking department, you should contact the specified person within the department, not necessarily the examiner. If the examiner is retired, you should contact the person directly.
   
• We urge all departments to review the discussion checklist prior to any contractual discussions.
