The Delta Strategy Group released a summary of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's potential changes to the interim capital rules. Attached are the two June consultative reports released by the Basel Committee:

• The first consultative document suggests potential changes to the capital treatment of exposures to Qualifying Central Counterparties ("QCCPs");and
• The second consultative document describes a proposed method of calculating counterparty credit risk exposure called the non-­internal model method ("NIMM").

Separately, the OCC and Federal Reserve Board approved on July 2 final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms.
