OCC Notices of Proposed Rulemaking: Regulatory Capital - Basel III and the Standardized and Advanced Approaches

The OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC (collectively, the "agencies") are seeking comment on three notices of proposed rulemaking (the "NPR") that propose to revise and replace the agencies' regulatory capital rules. While these NPRs were originally issued in June and slated to be open for public comment until September 7, the agencies have now extended the comment period to October 22. The first NPR describes the agencies' proposal to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with Basel III; the second contains proposals to revise and harmonize rules for calculating risk-weighted assets; the third proposes to revise the advanced approaches' risk-based capital rules consistent with Basel III.

Comments on the three NPRs have been extended to October 22, 2012.

Cross-Reference(s): Dodd-Frank Sections 939A and 171.
