This prohibition continues until the matter is resolved to the agency's satisfaction. However, an exception is provided if the institution submits a remediation plan to correct the matter, and this plan is accepted by the Federal banking agency within a specified deadline. A covered banking institution is defined as a bank holding company or a bank with more than $50,000,000,000 in consolidated assets .
