Title: ●Minimum Capital Ratios; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance; Capital: Treatment of Certain Claims on, or Guaranteed By, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 
Abstract: The Treasury Department entered into senior preferred stock purchase agreements (the Agreement or Agreements) with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which effectively provide protection to the holders of senior debt, subordinated debt, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued or guaranteed by these entities. In light of the financial support provided under the Agreements, the OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS proposed to adopt a 10 percent risk weight for claims on, and the portion of claims guaranteed by, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The 10 percent risk weight would apply so long as an Agreement remains in effect with the respective entity.
