The guidelines determine how
adjustments can 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 scores-a performance score and a loss severity score-that 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
