The Federal Reserve is adopting a
final rule that revises its risk-based and leverage capital
requirements for banking organizations. The final rule implements a
revised definition of regulatory capital, a new common equity tier
1 minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier 1 capital
requirement, and, for banking organizations subject to the advanced
approaches risk-based capital rules, a supplementary leverage ratio
that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator.
The final rule incorporates these new requirements into the
agencies' prompt corrective action framework. In addition, the
final rule establishes limits on a banking organization's capital
distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the
banking organization does not hold a specified amount of common
equity tier 1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet
its minimum risk-based capital requirements. Further, the final
rule amends the methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets
for all banking organizations, and introduces disclosure
requirements that would apply to top-tier banking organizations
domiciled in the United States with $50 billion or more in total
assets. The final rule also adopts changes to the agencies'
regulatory capital requirements that meet the requirements of
section 171 and section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act.
