The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Fed), published final rules in the Federal Register on October 11, 2013 revising risk-based and leverage capital requirements for banking organizations and replacing existing interim rules. The final rules consolidate three separate notices of proposed rulemaking that the OCC, Board, and FDIC published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2012, with selected changes. The rules establish a new regulatory capital framework that incorporates Basel III standards and other elements. The rule applicable to all national banks and federal savings associations "strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, and amends the methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets." Pursuant to a schedule of transition periods, the rule is effective for advanced approaches banks on January 1, 2014, and for all other banks on January 1, 2015.
