Comptroller, Federal Reserve and FDIC Propose Changes to Regulatory Capital Rules
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would revise the denominator of the supplementary leverage ratio that the agencies adopted in July 2013 as part of comprehensive revisions to the agencies' regulatory capital rules. Specifically, the proposed rule would revise the treatment of on- and off-balance sheet exposures for purposes of determining total leverage exposure, and more closely align the agencies' rules on the calculation of total leverage exposure with international leverage ratio standards. The agencies must receive any comments on these proposed rules must be received no later than June 13, 2014.
