Subtitle B: Cross-Guarantee Process - Sets forth a cross-guarantee mechanism whose purpose is to: (1) protect the full amount of deposits by prohibiting depository institutions from operating without a cross-guarantee contract issued by syndicates of guarantors; (2) charge risk-sensitive premiums for the guarantees provided; (3) establish a self-regulating system with stop-loss mechanisms; and (4) regulate the cross-guarantee marketplace only to the extent of maintaining its soundness and viability (but not the solvency of any individual depository institution regardless of its size). (Sec. 113) Includes a stop-loss limit for losses of a guaranteed party as a direct guarantor of other guaranteed parties. Requires the cross-guarantor's contract obligations to be independent of the obligations of any other party under the contract. Prohibits direct guarantors under any cross-guarantee or stop-loss contract from obtaining collateral for cross-guarantee obligations.

Mandates that the repository files be directly accessible to any direct guarantor, guaranteed party, syndicate agent, and other eligible persons.

Cites conditions under which the CGRC must appoint itself conservator or receiver for a depository institution guaranteed under a cross-guarantee contract. (Sec. 126) Confers upon the Secretary of the Treasury oversight powers over the CRGC. (Sec. 128) Establishes a CGRC-administered cross-guarantee backup fund to pay for any loss incurred by a depositor in connection with an insured deposit at a depository institution. States that deposits in any guaranteed depository institution shall be insured against loss to the same extent as deposits are insured against loss by the CGRC if the CGRC cannot recover adequate funds to pay for any loss due to the appointment of a receiver under this Act. Subtitle D: Miscellaneous Provisions - Requires the CGRC to ensure that all deposit-taking institutions, with specified exceptions, comply with all Federal and State licensing and regulatory requirements.

Requires the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to immediately appoint a conservator or receiver for any depository institution which has not complied with such schedule.
