The rules for calculating risk-weighted assets are intended to enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses identified in recent years. The OCC uses the information collected to meet its statutory obligations to adopt and implement a risk-based capital requirement, determine the qualification of a bank for application of the rule, and assess the adequacy of a qualifying bankâs risk-based capital.
The OCC, FRB, and FDIC have issued a proposed rule that would amend their capital rules to (1) replace the standardized approachâs treatment of high volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE) exposures with a simpler treatment for most high volatility acquisition, development, or construction (HVADC) exposures and (2) break out the disclosures in Table 8 to include (i) after-tax gain-on-sale on a securitization that has been deducted from common equity tier 1 capital and (ii) credit-enhancing interest-only strip that is assigned a 1,250 percent risk weight. There are no changes in burden associated with the proposed rulemaking. However, in order to be consistent across the agencies, the OCC is conforming the methodology for calculating its burden estimates to that of the other agencies.
We have a final rule becoming effective on 1/1/18 and need clearance prior to that date.
