This supervisory guidance assisted
financial institutions implementing revisions to the risk-based
capital standards in the United States, the Advanced Capital
Adequacy Framework - Basel II (framework). In addition, this
supervisory guidance provided detail for the supervisory review
process that helped banks satisfy the qualification requirements in
the final rule. For the Pillar 2 guidance, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS), the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), (the agencies) determined that paragraphs 37,
41, 43, and 46 contain information collection requirements that
were beyond the scope of the burden estimates developed for the
final rule. The Pillar 2 guidance contains certain documentation or
recordkeeping requirements for state member banks and bank holding
companies (BHCs).
