The rules for calculating
risk-weighted assets are intended to enhance risk sensitivity and
address weaknesses identified in recent years. The OCC uses the
information collected to meet its statutory obligations to adopt
and implement a risk-based capital requirement, determine the
qualification of a bank for application of the rule, and assess the
adequacy of a qualifying bank’s risk-based capital. The OCC, FRB,
and FDIC have issued a proposed rule that would amend their capital
rules to (1) replace the standardized approach’s treatment of high
volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE) exposures with a simpler
treatment for most high volatility acquisition, development, or
construction (HVADC) exposures and (2) break out the disclosures in
Table 8 to include (i) after-tax gain-on-sale on a securitization
that has been deducted from common equity tier 1 capital and (ii)
credit-enhancing interest-only strip that is assigned a 1,250
percent risk weight. There are no changes in burden associated with
the proposed rulemaking. However, in order to be consistent across
the agencies, the OCC is conforming the methodology for calculating
its burden estimates to that of the other agencies.
We have a final rule
becoming effective on 1/1/18 and need clearance prior to that
date.

The decrease in burden is due
to the removal of the startup burden, which is complete.
