The proposal would revise the risk-based capital treatment of certain exposure categories under the standardized approach, focusing on improving the calibration and risk sensitivity of risk weights that are particularly material to covered banking organizations' lending activities. The proposal would also modify the definition of regulatory capital by removing the threshold- based deduction for mortgage servicing assets for all banking organizations subject to the regulatory capital rule, including banking organizations subject to the community bank leverage ratio framework. In addition, the proposal would require Category III and IV banking organizations to recognize most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income in their regulatory capital. The agencies are concurrently publishing a separate proposal, which would require Category I and II banking organizations to use a new framework to calculate risk-weighted assets, called the expanded risk-based approach and would allow other banking organizations to elect to use the expanded risk-based approach.","document_number":"2026-05960","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/27/2026-05960/regulatory-capital-rules-regulatory-capital-and-standardized-approach-for-risk-weighted-assets","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-27/pdf/2026-05960.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-05960.pdf?1774529110","publication_date":"2026-03-27","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Comptroller of the Currency","name":"Comptroller of the Currency","id":80,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/comptroller-of-the-currency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/80","parent_id":497,"slug":"comptroller-of-the-currency"},{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"},{"raw_name":"FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION","name":"Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation","id":164,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-deposit-insurance-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/164","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-deposit-insurance-corporation"}],"excerpts":"proposal (unless they elect to use <span class=\"match\">expanded</span> <span class=\"match\">risk</span>-<span class=\"match\">based</span> <span class=\"match\">approach</span> <span class=\"match\">under</span> the <span class=\"match\">expanded</span> <span class=\"match\">risk</span>-<span class=\"match\">based</span> proposal) to determine their <span class=\"match\">risk</span>-weighted assets.\n \n \n \n \n 7 \n  The agencies consider the proposed requirements <span class=\"match\">under</span> the <span class=\"match\">expanded</span> <span class=\"match\">risk</span>-<span class=\"match\">based</span> <span class=\"match\">approach</span> to be appropriate for Category I and II banking organizations given their <span class=\"match\">risk</span> profiles, complexity, <span class=\"match\">risk</span> management resources, and international activities.

The proposal would also amend the Systemic Risk Report (FR Y-15), which is the source of inputs to the implementation of the GSIB framework under the capital rule. The proposal would make several changes to better align surcharges with risk. First, it would modify certain coefficients used to calculate GSIB surcharges under method 2 of the GSIB surcharge framework to reflect changes in the financial system and the economy and provide for annual adjustments for real economic growth and inflation going forward. Second, the proposal would modify the measurement and weighting of the weighted short-term wholesale funding systemic indicator. Third, for certain systemic indicators currently measured as of a single date each year, the proposal would require measurement based on average values to reduce the effects of temporary changes to indicator values around measurement dates. Fourth, the proposal would reduce cliff effects and enhance the sensitivity of the surcharge to changes in a GSIB's systemic risk profile. Fifth, to improve risk capture, the proposal would also make improvements to the measurement of some systemic indicators used in the GSIB surcharge framework and the framework for determining prudential standards for large banking organizations. In addition to these changes, the proposal would make several amendments to the FR Y-15 to improve the consistency of data reporting and streamline the reporting process.","document_number":"2026-05961","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/27/2026-05961/regulatory-capital-rule-regulation-q-risk-based-capital-surcharges-for-global-systemically-important","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-27/pdf/2026-05961.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-05961.pdf?1774529110","publication_date":"2026-03-27","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"}],"excerpts":"would be <span class=\"match\">based</span> on a three-year moving average of annual nominal U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth.\n 33 \n \n Thereby, <span class=\"match\">under</span> the proposed <span class=\"match\">approach</span>, a firm's method 2 scores would remain unchanged if the firm's systemic <span class=\"match\">risk</span> indicators grow at the same rate as average nominal U.S. GDP growth, because the proposed indexing would adjust the method 2 coefficients at the rate of average annual nominal \n \n U.S. GDP growth.
