On October 15, 2012, the FDIC
published in the Federal Register (77 FR 62417) a final rule on
annual stress testing (Annual Stress Test Rule) that is applicable
to all state nonmember banks and state savings associations with
over $10 billion in total consolidated assets (covered banks)
pursuant to the requirements of section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank
Act Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank
Act). The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) issued
annual stress test final rules for their regulated entities near in
time to the FDIC's Annual Stress Test Rule. The regulations across
the banking agencies are consistent and comparable as required by
the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act stress testing requirements
apply to all covered banks (those with over $10 billion in total
consolidated assets), but the FDIC recognized that the stress tests
for covered banks with consolidated total assets of $50 billion or
more would be applied to more complex portfolios and therefore
warranted a broader set of reports to adequately capture the
results of the company-run stress tests. These reports necessarily
required more detail than would be appropriate for smaller, less
complex institutions. Therefore, in coordination with the other
Federal banking agencies, the FDIC specified separate reporting
templates: (1) for covered banks with total consolidated assets of
greater than $10 billion and less than$50 billion and (2) for
covered banks with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or
more. On April 14, 2014, the FDIC published a final rule in the
Federal Register that revise and replace the FDIC's risk-based and
leverage capital requirements to be consistent with agreements
reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in "Basel
III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and
Banking Systems" (Basel III). In light of the finalization of the
Basel III capital rules, the FDIC is revising the FDIC DFAST 10-50
reporting templates to reflect the requirements of the revised
capital framework. The specific changes to the reporting templates
entail: o Revisions to the FDIC DFAST 10-50 Summary Schedule to add
a common equity tier 1 capital data item. o Revisions to the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 Balance Sheet Schedules (baseline, adverse, and
severely adverse scenarios) by adding a common equity tier 1 risk
based capital ratio data item. In addition, the FDIC is clarifying
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 reporting form instructions to emphasize that
a covered bank should transition to the revised capital framework
requirements in its bank-run stress test projections in the quarter
in which the revised capital framework requirements become
effective. Specifically, a covered bank would be required to comply
with the revised capital framework and begin including the common
equity tier 1 capital data item and common equity tier 1 risk based
capital ratio data item in projected quarter 2 (1st quarter, 2015)
through projected quarter 9 (4th quarter, 2016) for each
supervisory scenario for the 2015 stress test cycle.
The FDIC is revising the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 reporting templates to reflect the requirements of the
revised capital framework, resulting in a small increase in
burden.
