The OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC jointly revised SR 11-7 / OCC Bulletin 2011-12 on 17 April 2026 (reissued as OCC Bulletin 2026-13) to explicitly exclude generative and agentic AI from MRM scope. The same package rescinded OCC Bulletin 1997-24 (credit scoring) and the 2021 interagency statement on MRM for BSA/AML. Split the Model Risk Management bullet into UK/EU and US, since the two regimes now diverge materially for GenAI: SS1/23 still applies in the UK, SR 11-7 no longer does in the US. Added a paragraph noting that the US carve-out shifts obligations onto fair-lending law, FFIEC TPRM, SEC anti-fraud authority, NYDFS Part 500 and state-level AI legislation rather than removing them. Added links to PRA SS1/23 and OCC Bulletin 2026-13. Signed-off-by: Paul Merrison <[email protected]>

Summary
The OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC jointly revised SR 11-7 / OCC Bulletin 2011-12 on 17 April 2026 (reissued as OCC Bulletin 2026-13) to explicitly exclude generative and agentic AI from MRM scope. The same package rescinded OCC Bulletin 1997-24 (credit scoring) and the 2021 interagency statement on MRM for BSA/AML, and clarified that the guidance is "most relevant" to banks above approximately $30bn in assets.
ri-22 currently states that the OCC and FRB mandate MRM coverage of AI systems, listing credit underwriting, fraud detection and AML/CFT monitoring as in-scope. After 17 April that's no longer accurate for generative or agentic AI in the US.
Changes
No mitigations are affected — the engineering control surface (validation, observability, version pinning, explainability, audit) is unchanged. Only the regulatory framing shifts.
