The proposed guidelines would be used
to determine how adjustments could be made to the total scores that
are used in calculating the deposit insurance assessment rates of
large and highly complex insured institutions, under the new
methodology of the Amended Assessment Regulations. These amended
regulations eliminated risk categories for large institutions and
combined CAMELS ratings and forward-looking financial measures into
one of two scorecards, one for highly-complex institutions and
another for all other large institutions. Each of the two
scorecards produces two scoresa performance score and a loss
severity scorethat are combined into a total score, which cannot
be greater than 90 or less than 30. The FDIC can adjust a bank's
total score up or down by no more than 15 points, but the resulting
score cannot be greater than 90 or less than 30. The score is then
converted to an initial base assessment rate, which, after
application of other possible adjustments, results in a total
assessment rate. The total assessment rate is multiplied by the
bank's assessment base to calculate the amount of its assessment
obligation. Published for comment: 76 Fed. Reg. 21,256 (April 15,
2011)
This is a new collection of
