Will the Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC jointly publish the request for information on model risk management addressing AI — including generative and agentic AI — that they announced alongside SR 26-2, on or before December 31, 2026?

State the rule, then watch whether the rule-writer follows its own timetable. In the April 17, 2026 guidance the agencies said they 'plan to issue in the near future' an RFI on model risk that specifically considers generative and agentic AI. I take intent at face value — the interagency machinery is already warm from finishing SR 26-2, and there is clear political appetite to be seen engaging AI. But 'near future' is regulator-speak, not a deadline, and coordinated tri-agency RFIs slip routinely past informal targets. Drafting, three-agency clearance, and a comment-period runway rarely close inside eight months. So I put this just under even: more likely to spill into early 2027 than to land by year-end, but close enough that a firm should be preparing its comment file now rather than waiting for the notice.
