ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking with request for comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Board invites comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise the capital plan and stress test rules for large bank holding companies and certain banking organizations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion. The proposed changes would apply beginning with the 2016 capital plan and stress test cycles. For all banking organizations, the proposal would remove the tier 1 common capital ratio requirement. For large bank holding companies, the proposal would modify the stress test capital action assumptions. For banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches, the proposal would delay the incorporation of the supplementary leverage ratio for one year and indefinitely defer the use of the advanced approaches risk-based capital framework in the capital plan and stress test rules. For bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, the proposal would eliminate the fixed assumptions regarding dividend payments for company-run stress tests and delay the application of stress testing for these savings and loan holding companies for one year. The proposal would also make certain technical amendments to the capital plan and stress test rules to incorporate changes related to other rulemakings.

Background The Board's capital planning and stress testing regime is an annual assessment of a banking organization's capital planning and capital adequacy on a post-stress basis and a cornerstone of the Board's supervisory program for bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more (large bank holding companies).\1\ The Board's capital planning and stress testing regime consists of two related programs: The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), which is conducted pursuant to the Board's capital plan rule (12 CFR 225.8), and Dodd-Frank Act stress testing, which is conducted pursuant to the Board's stress test rules (subparts B, E, and F of Regulation YY). In CCAR, the Board assesses the internal capital planning processes of large bank holding companies and their ability to maintain sufficient capital to continue their operations under expected and stressful conditions. Large bank holding companies must submit annual capital plans to the Board, which the Board may object to on either quantitative or qualitative grounds. If the Board objects to a large bank holding company's capital plan, the large bank holding company may not make any capital distributions unless the Board indicates in writing that it does not object to such distributions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 12 CFR 225.8. The changes in this proposed rulemaking would also apply to nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board that become subject to the capital planning and stress test requirements as well as to U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations in accordance with the transition provisions of the final rule incorporating enhanced prudential standards for U.S. bank holding companies and foreign banking organizations with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more. (79 FR 17240 (March 27, 2014)). For simplicity, this preamble discussion of proposed amendments generally refers only to large bank holding companies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dodd-Frank Act stress testing is a forward-looking quantitative evaluation of the impact of stressful economic and financial market conditions on the capital adequacy of banking organizations.\2\ As part of Dodd-Frank Act stress testing, the Board conducts supervisory stress tests of large bank holding companies, and these bank holding companies also must conduct annual and mid-cycle company-run stress tests. In addition, bank holding [[Page 43638]] companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion, savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, and state member banks with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion must conduct annual company-run stress tests.\3\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ See 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(1) and 12 CFR part 252. \3\ 77 FR 62378 (October 12, 2012) (codified at 12 CFR part 252, subparts E and F). The stress test requirements apply to savings and loan holding companies that are subject to the minimum regulatory capital requirements in 12 CFR part 217. The Board has not applied capital requirements to savings and loan holding companies that are substantially engaged in commercial activities or insurance underwriting activities to date. The Board is currently working on developing an appropriate capital regime for those institutions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This proposal invites comment on targeted adjustments to the Board's capital plan and stress test framework that would apply for the 2016 capital plan and stress test cycles. The Board notes that is considering a broad range of issues relating to the capital plan and stress test rules, including how the rules interact with other elements of the regulatory capital rules and whether any modification may be appropriate. However, the Board does not anticipate proposing another rulemaking that would affect the 2016 capital plan and stress test cycle beyond what is contained in this proposal. The Board would propose any changes resulting from the considerations described above through a separate rulemaking. Any such changes would take effect no earlier than the 2017 capital plan and stress test cycle. For all banking organizations, the proposal would remove the tier 1 common capital ratio requirement in the capital plan and stress test rules. For large bank holding companies, the proposal would modify the stress test capital action assumptions under the stress test rules. For banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches, the proposal would delay the incorporation of the supplementary leverage ratio for one year and indefinitely defer the use of advanced approaches in the capital plan and stress test rules.\4\ For the company-run stress test rules, the proposal would eliminate the fixed dividend payment assumptions for bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, and would delay the application of the company-run stress test requirements to these savings and loan holding companies for one stress test cycle. The proposal would also make certain technical amendments to the capital plan and stress test rules to incorporate changes related to other rulemakings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ The supplementary leverage ratio requirement applies only to banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches. A banking organization is subject to the advanced approaches if it has consolidated assets of at least $250 billion or if it has total consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposures of at least $10 billion. The proposed amendments to the company-run stress test rules apply to large bank holding companies, bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion, savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, and state member banks with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion; however, the capital plan and supervisory stress test rules only apply to large bank holding companies at this time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. Proposed Revisions to the Capital Plan and Stress Test Rules for All Banking Organizations The proposal would remove the requirement that a banking organization demonstrate its ability to maintain a pro forma tier 1 common capital ratio of five percent of risk-weighted assets under expected and stressed scenarios. When the Board adopted the tier 1 common requirement as part of the capital plan and stress test rules, the Board noted that it expected the tier 1 common ratio to remain in force until the Board adopted a minimum common equity capital requirement. In 2013, the Board revised its regulatory capital rules to strengthen the quantity and quality of regulatory capital held by banking organizations. These revisions included a new minimum common equity tier 1 capital requirement of 4.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, which was fully phased-in on January 1, 2015.\5\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ Banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches became subject to a minimum common equity tier 1 requirement of 4.0 percent on January 1, 2014. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2016 capital plan and stress test cycle is the first cycle in which banking organizations will be subject to the 4.5 percent common equity tier 1 capital ratio for each quarter of the planning horizon. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio generally is expected to be more binding than the tier 1 common ratio under the severely adverse scenario because of the regulatory capital rule's stringent capital deductions, most of which will be fully phased-in by the end of the next planning horizon. Removing the tier 1 common ratio requirement will further reduce the burden of maintaining legacy systems and processes necessary for calculating the tier 1 common ratio. III. Proposed Revisions to the Capital Plan and Stress Test Rules for Large Bank Holding Companies The proposal would modify capital action assumptions in the stress test rules to allow large banking holding companies to reflect dividends associated with expensed employee compensation and issuances to fund acquisitions. The stress test rules require large bank holding companies to assume that they do not issue capital or redeem capital instruments in the second through ninth quarters of the planning horizon. The October 2014 revisions to the capital plan and stress test rules (October 2014 revisions) provided an exception to this assumption for issuances related to expensed employee compensation.\6\ The proposal would make a related technical change to require a firm to assume that it pays dividends equal to the quarterly average dollar amount of common stock dividends that the company paid in the previous year on any issuance of stock related to expensed employee compensation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ 79 FR 64026 (October 27, 2014). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the proposal would permit a large bank holding company to assume that it issues capital associated with funding a planned acquisition. This proposed revision would align the capital action assumptions with the assumptions relating to business plan changes, which require a large bank holding company to project the effects of any planned mergers or acquisitions. Under the proposal, to the extent that a large bank holding company is required to include an acquisition in its balance sheet projections, the bank holding company could include any stock issuance associated with funding the acquisition in its stress test. IV. Proposed Revisions to the Capital Plan and Stress Test Rules for Banking Organizations Subject to the Advanced Approaches A. Delay of Inclusion of the Supplementary Leverage Ratio The supplementary leverage ratio requirement applies only to banking organizations that use the advanced approaches to calculate their minimum regulatory capital requirements. For these banking organizations, the proposal would delay the incorporation of the supplementary leverage ratio in the capital plan and stress test rules for one year. Under the proposal, these banking organizations would not be required to include an estimate of the supplementary leverage ratio for the capital plan and stress test cycles [[Page 43639]] beginning on January 1, 2016. This proposed change is appropriate in light of the October 2014 revisions, which changed the commencement date of the capital plan and stress test cycles. Prior to the timing change in the October 2014 revisions, these banking organizations would have been required to incorporate the supplementary leverage ratio into the stress test cycle beginning on October 1, 2016 (i.e., in the sixth quarter of the 2017 stress testing and capital planning cycle). As a result of the timing change, however, these banking organizations would be required to incorporate the supplementary leverage ratio into the upcoming stress test cycle beginning January 1, 2016 (i.e., in the ninth quarter of the 2016 stress testing and capital planning cycle). To provide adequate time to develop the required systems necessary to project the supplementary leverage ratio, the proposal would not require these banking organizations to demonstrate compliance with the supplementary leverage ratio for purposes of the 2016 capital plan and stress test cycles. B. Deferral of the Introduction of the Advanced Approaches Under the current capital plan and stress test rules, banking organizations that use the advanced approaches to calculate their minimum regulatory capital requirements must project their risk- weighted assets using both the standardized and the advanced approaches. Several banking organizations have noted that the use of advanced approaches in the capital plan and stress test rules would require significant resources and would introduce complexity and opacity. In light of the concerns raised by these banking organizations, and pending a broader review of how the capital plan and stress test rules interact with the regulatory capital rules as described above, the proposal would delay until further notice the use of the advanced approaches for calculating risk-based capital requirements for purposes of the capital plan and stress test rules. V. Proposed Revisions to Stress Test Rules for Certain Bank Holding Companies and Savings and Loan Holding Companies With Total Consolidated Assets of $10 Billion or More For bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, the proposal would eliminate the fixed dividend assumptions for company-run stress tests and would delay the application of the company-run stress testing requirements to these savings and loan holding companies for one stress test cycle. A. Elimination of Fixed Dividend Assumptions The proposal would eliminate the requirement that bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion incorporate fixed assumptions regarding dividends in their stress tests. These bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies would instead be required to incorporate their own dividend payment assumptions consistent with internal capital needs and projections. Currently, the stress test rules require these bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies to make the same capital action assumptions in their stress tests that apply to large bank holding companies. These capital action assumptions require these bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies to assume they maintain their common stock dividend at a steady rate over the planning horizon, continue payments on other regulatory capital instruments at their stated dividend rate, and assume no repurchases or issuance of shares for each of the second through ninth quarters of the planning horizon. The proposal would maintain the assumptions of no repurchases, redemptions, or issuance of regulatory capital instruments in the stress tests. This proposed change is responsive to concerns raised by banking organizations that dividends made at the holding company level are often funded directly through a subsidiary bank's distributions to its holding company, but that subsidiary banks may be subject to dividend restrictions that would not permit the bank to upstream capital to its holding company. The proposed change would also better align the stress test rules with the rules applicable to state member banks and the rules of the other banking agencies. B. Company Run Stress Test Transition Provisions for Certain Savings and Loan Holding Companies The proposal would delay for one stress test cycle the application of the company-run stress test rules to saving and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion, such that these savings and loan holding companies would become subject to the stress test rules for the first time beginning on January 1, 2017. Savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion must conduct annual company-run stress tests.\7\ The original stress test rules provided a two-year transition period for these savings and loan holding companies to comply with the stress test requirements once they became subject to regulatory capital requirements on January 1, 2015. However, the October 2014 revisions to the stress test rules resulted in a shortening of this initial transition period to one year. The proposal would reinstate the previous transition period, such that these savings and loan holding companies would become subject to the company-run stress tests on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $50 billion would report results by April 5, 2017, and those with total consolidated assets of less than $50 billion would report results by July 31, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ Currently, savings and loan holding companies are not subject to the Board's capital plan rule or supervisory stress tests, regardless of size. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Proposed Technical Amendments to the Capital Plan and Stress Test Rules The proposal would also make certain technical amendments to the capital plan and stress test rules to incorporate changes related to other rulemakings. On January 1, 2015, the risk-based capital rules under 12 CFR part 217 became effective, and the proposal would remove references to the risk-based capital rules in 12 CFR part 225 that are no longer operative as of that date. In addition, the Board is proposing to amend the definition of minimum regulatory capital ratio in 12 CFR 225.8(d)(8), and the definition of regulatory capital ratio in 12 CFR 252.12(n), 12 CFR 252.42(m), and 12 CFR 252.52(n) to incorporate the deductions required under 12 CFR 248.12(d) (the Volcker Rule). The Volcker Rule requires a banking organization to deduct from tier 1 capital its aggregate investments in covered funds (as defined in 12 CFR. 248.10(b)). These required deductions are not, however, reflected in the regulatory text of 12 CFR part 217. Accordingly, the proposal would revise the regulatory text of the above-referenced definitions to include the required deductions under the Volcker Rule in the definition of regulatory capital ratio and minimum regulatory [[Page 43640]] capital ratio. The amended language will ensure that the definitions referenced above will incorporate not only the deductions required under 12 CFR part 217 but also the deductions required under the Volcker Rule. Administrative Law Matters a. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), the Board may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The Board reviewed this proposed rule under the authority delegated to the Board by the OMB and determined that it contains no collections of information. As the Board considers the public comments received and finalizes the rulemaking, the Board will reevaluate this PRA determination. b. Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis The Board is providing an initial regulatory flexibility analysis with respect to this proposed rule. The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. (RFA), generally requires that an agency prepare and make available an initial regulatory flexibility analysis in connection with a notice of proposed rulemaking. Under regulations issued by the Small Business Administration (``SBA''), a small entity includes a depository institution, bank holding company, or savings and loan holding company with total assets of $550 million or less (a small banking organization).\8\ As of March 31, 2015, there were approximately 631 small state member banks. As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately 3,833 small bank holding companies and 271 small savings and loan holding companies. The proposed rule would apply to bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, and state member banks with total consolidated asset of $10 billion or more and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board. Companies that would be subject to the proposed rule therefore substantially exceed the $550 million total asset threshold at which a company is considered a small company under SBA regulations. Therefore, there are no significant alternatives to the proposed rule that would have less economic impact on small banking organizations. As discussed above, the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other compliance requirements of the rule are expected to be small. The Board does not believe that the rule duplicates, overlaps, or conflicts with any other Federal rules. In light of the foregoing, the Board does not believe that the final rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See 13 CFR 121.201. Effective July 14, 2014, the Small Business Administration revised the size standards for banking organizations to $550 million in assets from $500 million in assets. 79 FR 33647 (June 12, 2014). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board welcomes comment on all aspects of its analysis. A final regulatory flexibility analysis will be conducted after consideration of comments received during the public comment period. c. Solicitation of Comments on Use of Plain Language Section 722 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106-102, 113 Stat. 1338, 1471, 12 U.S.C. 4809) requires the federal banking agencies to use plain language in all proposed and final rules published after January 1, 2000. The Board has sought to present the proposed rule in a simple and straightforward manner, and invites comment on the use of plain language. For example: Have we organized the material to suit your needs? If not, how could the rule be more clearly stated? Are the requirements in the rule clearly stated? If not, how could the rule be more clearly stated? Do the regulations contain technical language or jargon that is not clear? If so, which language requires clarification? Would a different format (grouping and order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing) make the regulation easier to understand? If so, what changes would make the regulation easier to understand? Would more, but shorter, sections be better? If so, which sections should be changed? What else could we do to make the regulation easier to understand?
