Press Release
September 15, 2008

Request for comment on draft interagency
proposed rule to permit a banking organization
to reduce the amount of its goodwill deduction
from tier 1 capital by any associated deferred tax
liability
For immediate release
Share

The Federal Reserve Board on Monday requested public comment on
an interagency notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) that would permit a
banking organization to reduce the amount of its goodwill deduction from
tier 1 capital by any associated deferred tax liability.
Under the proposed rule, the regulatory capital deduction for goodwill
would be equal to the maximum capital reduction that could occur as a
result of a complete write-off of the goodwill, which is equal to the
amount of goodwill reported on the balance sheet under generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) less any associated deferred tax
liability. The proposal is consistent with the treatment of other similar
assets.
The NPR will be published in the Federal Register following approval by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, and Office of Thrift Supervision. The draft Federal
Register notice is attached. Public comments are due 30 days following
publication, which is expected soon.
