Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory
Capital, Revisions to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio The FDIC,
jointly with the OCC, and the Federal Reserve, issued this final
rule that amends the regulatory capital rules adopted by the
agencies in July 2013 (2013 revised capital rules). Specifically,
the final rule implements enhanced supplementary leverage ratio
standards for large, interconnected U.S. banking organizations that
have at least $250 billion in total consolidated assets or total
on-balance sheet foreign exposures of $10 billion or more. In doing
so, the final rule supports some of the main objectives of the 2013
revised capital rules, that is, to increase the quantity of
regulatory capital and improve the stability and resilience of the
U.S. banking system. The final rule revises total leverage exposure
as defined in the 2013 revised capital rule to include the
effective notional principal amount of credit derivatives and other
similar instruments through which a banking organization provides
credit protection (sold credit protection); modifies the
calculation of total leverage exposure for derivative and
repo-style transactions; and revises the credit conversion factors
applied to certain off-balance sheet exposures. The final rule also
changes the frequency with which certain components of the
supplementary leverage ratio are calculated and establishes the
public disclosure requirements of certain items associated with the
supplementary leverage ratio.
