Your comment:While PPP loans are excluded from risk-based capital ratio calculations, they are not
excluded from average assets for the tier 1 leverage capital ratio calculation unless the PPP loans are
pledged to the PPP liquidity facility and an advance is extended to the bank. The interim rule seems to
place more of a burden on banks that have adequate liquidity to fund PPP loans without using
advances from the PPPLF. It could also discourage banks with their adequate liquidity from continued
participation in PPP lending or lending to customers outside of the PPP program if it would further
decrease a bank's tier 1 leverage ratio.
