Home > News & Events > Press Releases Joint Press Release November 19, 2013 Agencies release regulatory capital estimation tool for community banks Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of the Comptroller of the Currency For immediate release Share The federal bank regulatory agencies today released an estimation tool to help community banks understand the potential effects of the recently revised regulatory capital framework on their capital ratios. The revised framework implements the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved the revised framework as final rules, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved the revised framework as an interim final rule. The final rules and interim final rule are substantively identical. The estimation tool is not part of the revised capital framework and not a component of regulatory reporting. Results from the tool are simplified estimates that may not precisely reflect banks' actual capital ratios under the framework. Additionally, banks should be aware that the estimation tool requires certain manual inputs that could have meaningful effects on results and should reference the revised capital framework when using the estimation tool. The estimation tool is available at: www.fdic.gov/regulations/capital/Bank_Estimation_Tool.xlsm The revised capital frameworks are available in the Federal Register at: www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-10-11/pdf/2013-21653.pdf and www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-10/pdf/2013-20536.pdf Media Contacts: Federal Reserve Eric Kollig OCC Stephanie Collins FDIC David Barr (202) 4522955 (202) 6496870 (202) 8986992 Last Update: November 19, 2013 BOARD OF GOVERNORS of the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM About the Fed News & Events Monetary Policy Supervision & Regulation Payment Systems Economic Research Data Consumers & Communities Financial Stability TOOLS AND INFORMATION STAY CONNECTED Contact Publications Freedom of Information (FOIA) Office of Inspector General Budget & Performance | Audit No FEAR Act Español Website Policies | Privacy Program Accessibility BOARD OF GOVERNORS of the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 20th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20551
