The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision are jointly proposing a new risk-based capital adequacy framework that would require some and permit other qualifying banks, savings associations, and bank holding companies to use an internal ratings-based approach to calculate regulatory credit risk capital requirements and advanced measurement approaches to calculate regulatory operational risk capital requirements. The proposed rule describes the qualifying criteria for banks required or seeking to operate under the proposed framework and the applicable risk-based capital requirements for banks that operate under the framework.
OTS is citing a reduction in the inventory burden. This is due to the loss of two institutions in the OTS program (from 5 institutions to 3 institutions), including the only banking organization that would have incurred the full, consolidated top tier level burden of Basel II. The remaining banking organizations are Âsubsidiary Basel II institutions that will incur only a fractional, marginal part of the total burden.
