Title: Regulation H and Y--Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Basel 1A (Docket No. R-1238) 
Abstract: On December 26, 2006, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) proposed revisions to the existing risk-based capital framework that were designed to enhance the risk-sensitivity of the framework without unduly increasing regulatory burden (Basel IA NPR). Under the proposal, a banking organization that is not required to use the Basel II advanced capital adequacy framework could select to adopt the entire package of proposed revisions or could continue to apply the Agencies' existing risk-based capital rules. The comment period ended on March 26, 2007. Commenters to the proposal urged the Agencies to adopt the so-called Standardized Approach issued in final form by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2006. In light of the comments received and other considerations, the Agencies are developing a proposal that would implement the Standardized Approach for non-Basel II banks. This new standardized approach proposal will replace the Basel 1A NPR. On July 29, 2008, the Agencies proposed a new risk-based capital framework (standardized framework)(73 FR 43982).
