The Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (FRB) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
(collectively, the banking agencies or the agencies) have each
issued rules applicable to the banking organizations they supervise
that have total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, but
less than $50 billion. These rules implement the company-run stress
testing requirement promulgated by section 165(i)(2) of the
Dodd-Frank Act (12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)). Under the agencies’
respective rules, institutions that meet this asset threshold are
required to conduct, and report the results of an annual stress
test using scenarios provided by the agencies. The annual as-of
date of the stress test report is December 31, and the submission
deadline for the report is the following July 31. The rules across
the banking agencies are consistent and comparable as required by
the Dodd-Frank Act. The FDIC’s rule defines “stress test” as “the
process to assess the potential impact of scenarios on the
consolidated earnings, losses, and capital of a covered bank over
the planning horizon, taking into account the current condition of
the covered bank and the covered bank’s risks, exposures,
strategies, and activities,” and it requires covered banks to
perform annual stress tests, report their results to the FDIC, and
publish a summary of their test results.
