Banking Agencies Adopt Revisions to Regulatory Capital Rule and Liquidity Coverage Ratio Rule

The OCC, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC finalized three interim rules (see previous coverage here, here and here) that revise the regulatory capital rule and the liquidity coverage ratio rule.

The joint final rules eliminate the regulatory capital effects of participating in the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility ("MMLF") and the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Lending Facility for banking organizations. The final rules also provide relief as to the community bank leverage ratio by continuing to allow banking organizations to exclude assets acquired as part of the MMLF and PPP covered loans pledged under the PPP Lending Facility.

The final rules will go into effect on December 28, 2020.
