Required training

Fun times!
So management has decided that they don't want us taking any training unless specifically stated in a regulation or required by law. The only regulation/law that I can see that specifically states a training requirement is BSA. However, Reg CC states that we should update staff, etc.
I am trying to put together a "required" training list, but they won't go for it unless I have specific regulation citations that show that the training is required. We are trying to push through Reg CC (for anyone that could possibly touch a deposit), Fair Lending Laws (ECOA, Reg B), ID Theft Red Flags, and Reg P. We also would like to provide some kind of training to lending staff on Reg Z, HMDA, and/or RESPA. But I can't see where training for any of these topics is specifically stated in the regulation. Also we are looking at Fair Debt Collection Practices for our Collections dept.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have looked in Banker Tools and found some great resources, but they still don't point out the specific citation about a training requirement...

Andy Zavoina gave a brief recap in a thread from last year. Here is the list he put together:
In many cases, annual training has become the industry standard. There are six areas that require training.
1. BSA (12 CFR §21.21(c)(4) and §208.63(c)(4) Provide training for appropriate personnel.) 2. Bank Protection Act (12 CFR §21.3(a)(3) and §208.61(c)(1)(iii) Provide initial & periodic training) 3. Reg CC (12 CFR §229.19(f)provide each employee who performs duties subject to the requirements of this subpart with a statement of the procedures applicable to that employee) 4. Customer Information Security found at III(C)(2) (Pursuant to the Interagency Guidelines for Safeguarding Customer Information, training is required. Many banks allow for turnover and train as needed, imposing their own requirements on frequency.) 5. FCRA Red Flag (12 CFR 222.90(e)(3) Train staff, as necessary, to effectively implement the Program;) 6. Overdraft protection programs your bank offers. Employees must be able to explain the programs' features, costs, and terms, and to explain other available overdraft products offered by your institution and how to qualify for them. This is one of the “best practices” listed in the Joint Guidance on Overdraft Protection Programs issued by the OCC, Fed, FDIC and NCUA in February 2005 (70 FR 9127, 2/24/2005), and reinforced by the FDIC in its FIL 81-2010 in November, 2010.
Annual training may not be sufficient or may be to frequent. If you select the latter, be prepared to justify your conclusion based on audits and personnel interviews, just as your examiners will.
