requested comment on the guidelines for minimum and appropriate levels of
capital for bank holding companies and state member banks. The comment period

Sincerely yours,

Federal Register / Vol. 51, No. 73 / Wednesday, April 16, 1986 / Proposed Rules
Extension of Time To Comment
on Proposed Rulemaking.

ACTION:

On January 24,1986, the
Board announced a proposed
modification of its Guidelines for
minimum and appropriate levels of
capital for bank holding companies and
state chartered banks that are members
of the Federal Reserve System. [51FR
3976 (January 31,1986)] This proposed
amendment to the Board’s Guidelines,
contained in Appendix A to the Board’s
Regulation Y, 12 CFR Part 225, was
designed to make the Board’s capital
policies more systematically and
explicitly sensitive to the risk exposure
of individual banking organizations by
providing for an additional
supplemental adjusted capital measure
to be considered by the Board in
conjunction with existing primary and
total capital-to-total assets ratios
already contained in the Guidelines. The
Board indicated that it would consider
comments on this proposal received by
April 25,1986.
Since publication of the Board’s
supplemental adjusted capital proposal,
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency have
published for comment proposals for
similar capital measures to be applied to
state chartered banks that are not
members of the Federal Reserve System
and to national banks, respectively.
Because of the significance of these
proposals for the banking system and
the important issues they raise, the
Board is extending the comment period
for its supplemental adjusted capital
proposal (Docket R-0567) until May 23,
1986. The Board believes such an
extension of the comment period will
allow it to receive additional and more
complete responses to its proposal.
DATE: All comments should be received
by May 23,1986.
ADDRESS: All comments, which should
refer to Docket No. R-0567, should be
mailed to William W. Wiles, Secretary,
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, 20th and Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20551, or
should be delivered to the courtyard
entrance, Gccles Building, 20th Street,
NW., between “C” Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., between the
hours of 8:45 a.m. and 5:15 p.m.
weekdays. Comments may be inspected
in Room 1122, Eccles Building, between
8:45 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. weekdays.
