Comptroller’s Proposals Questioned

Com ptroller of

Complexity
The ABA has long been aware of
the complexity of the issue of capital
adequacy. In June, one month
before the Comptroller published his
proposals, the ABA commissioned a
study of this matter by one of the
“Big Eight” accounting firms. This
study, due in February of 1981, will
consider all facets of the capital
adequacy question. The ABA has
asked the Comptroller to delay
further action on his proposal until
the ABA’s study is complete.
The comments that accompany
the proposed regulation suggest
th a t the Com ptroller is less
interested in changing the definition
of capital as a matter of regulatory
fiat than in stimulating a dialog
with the banking community. The
amendments are described by the
Comptroller as “part of a larger
project to develop an improved
regulatory and supervisory policy
for this office... enabling national
banks to improve their capital
evaluation techniques and main­
taining the pivotal role of the
banking system in meeting the
credit demands of a diversified
economy. Another element in this
comprehensive policy study is an
evaluation of the appropriateness of
the present 10% lending limitation
and the possible need for legislative

ecent

th e C u rren cy
have raised new
questions about
tw o u n re la te d
areas of bank
operations. The
two proposals de_ .......
serve the axtenComptroller
tion of the entire of the Currency
banking community. Although the
Comptroller’s regulations apply
only to national banks, they are still
relevant to state-chartered banks.
“Wild Card” statutes in many
states give state-chartered banks
the authority to engage in all
activities th a t national banks
engage in, and regulations in many
states are therefore directly affected
by regulations issued by the
Comptroller.
One proposal is intended to open
discussion of how bank capital
should be defined and what its role
in banking regulation should be.
The other proposal raises the
subject of Adjustable Rate Mort­
gages (ARMs) and could lead to a
much wider use of this instrument in
the future.
Definitions
The first proposal is to change the
definition of “surplus unimpaired

funds” that a bank may count as its
capital. The definition would be
changed to exclude subordinated
notes and debentures and 50% of
the loan loss reserve funds that are
now included in capital. Obviously,
the effect of such a change would be
to reduce the capital of most
national banks. (The Comptroller
estimates that for the average bank,
capital would be reduced 12.8% by
the deletion of subordinated notes
and debentures, and 4.5% by the
deletion of the loan loss reserve.) A
reduction in the amount of capital
would be a serious change, for that
figure is used to determine the
bank’s legal lending limits and other
matters, such as whether a bank
may establish a branch.
This proposal comes at a difficult
time for banks. The only sources of
capital that would be permitted to
a bank if the proposed definitions
were to become final would be equity
and retained earnings. Bank stocks
are and have long been generally
undervalued and inflation has
lowered earnings.
At the same time, inflation has
also caused that stated value of
assets to rise dramatically. Banks
are therefore faced w ith the
possibility of having artificially
high asset levels and a reduced
capital base against which those

amendments to the governing
statute.”
The Comptroller’s interest in
stimulating a dialog with the
bankers is encouraging, because the
dual questions of capital ratios and
lending limits have long frustrated
bankers themselves. The questions
of capital adequacy is very complex,
involving a careful balance of the
desire to protect the depositors from
loss and the need to provide enough
leverage to the banks to allow them
to operate profitably. The questions
that the Comptroller has implicitly
raised are good ones: What is bank
capital in the first place, and what is
the proper level of adequate capital?
Solution
At present, there is no unanimity
among regulators, economists, or
even among bankers about the
proper definition of bank capital or
the proper ratio of capital (however
defined) to a bank’s assets. The
Comptroller’s latest proposal sug­
gests that he is interested in a
permanent solution to the question
of capital and its proper role in
banking regulation. The ABA
believes that its study will provide
valuable help to the regulators in
this matter.
Mortgages
On another front, the Comptroller
is suggesting that the use of
alternative m ortgage in s tru ­
ments—in particular of the adjust­
able rate mortgage (ARM) —should

be formalized and expanded.
The proposed guidelines would
provide that interest rates could be
increased at stated intervals during
the term of the mortgage. The
increase could not exceed one half of
1% for every six months between
adjustments and in no event could it
exceed 5% for any one adjustment
period. They would also provide for
a federal override of state laws
where an ARM would be in conflict
with a state statute. The purpose of
the guidelines is not to prescribe
minimum increases but rather to
provide some standard for banks to
use in setting up a program of
innovative mortgage lending. At
the same time, the Comptroller is
providing a reasonable measure of
protection for the consumer.

AN INTRODUCTION TO
IOWA STUDENT LOAN REVENUE BONDS

V\
r-r y
4

~ ¥

y

The Iowa Student Loan Liquidity Corporation has
selected the Carleton D. Beh Co. to be a senior
manager of the group w hich w ill underwrite and
market the proposed student loan revenue bond
issue.
The Issuer. The Iowa Student Loan Liquidity
Corporation, an Iowa nonprofit corporation, was
incorporated in July 1979, at the request of G ov­
ernor Robert Ray to finance the purchase, sale and
general marketing of guaranteed student loans. As
provided in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended, the Governor designated the Iowa Stu­
dent Loan Liquidity Corporation as the sole agency
for the purpose of providing funds and acquiring
from lenders, student loan notes representing (a)
loans to Iowa students attending schools anywhere,
or (b) loans to students from other states attending
Iowa schools.
The Corporation has an eleven member Board of
Directors appointed by the Governor. The Board
consists of the Iowa Superintendent of Banking, tw o
members each representing Iowa banking institu­
tions and the general public; one each representing
Iowa savings and loan institutions, Iowa credit
unions, the Iowa Board of Regents, Iowa private
colleges and universities, Iowa area com m unity col­
leges and the Iowa College Aid Commission.
The C orporation is em powered to issue taxexempt revenue bonds under the provisions of Sec­
tion 103(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Bond
proceeds w ill be used to purchase guaranteed stu­
dent loans. It is anticipated that the difference be­
tween the interest rate on the bonds issued and the
return on the student loans purchased w ill be suffi­
cient to pay the costs of operating the Corporation
and servicing the loans.
The Student Loans. Student loans can be
originated by commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, and state agencies.
These loans are authorized by the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended. To be eligible the student
must be attending an approved institution and car­
rying at least one-half of the full-tim e course load.
Beginning January 1, 1981, a "dependent" stu­
dent may borrow up to $2,500 per year for up to five
years, and an "independent" student may borrow
up to $3,000 per year for up to five years. There are
also additional programs for graduate students and
there w ill be a "loan to parents" program. The in­
terest rate for existing borrowers is 7%; for new
borrowers after January 1,1981, the rate w ill be 9%.
W hile the student is in school and during certain
specified periods thereafter, the interest is paid by
Federal subsidies and the student is exempt from
principal repayment.


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

In addition to the basic interest on the loan, the
lenders w ill receive a "special allowance payment"
on a quarterly basis. The special allowance is com ­
puted on the basis of the average bond equivalent
annual rate of 91 dayTreasury Bills auctioned during
the preceding quarter, less 31/2%, rounded upward
to the nearest Vs of 1%. For the quarter ending
September 30, 1980, the allowance payment was
computed at an annual rate of 6¥s%.
These loans can be directly insured by the federal
government through its Federal Insured Student
Loan (FISL) program. M ore generally, they are
guaranteed by a state agency w hich in turn reinsures
w ith the federal government. The terms of the rein­
surance provide for reimbursement to the agency of
80% to 100% depending on the claims experience
for the current fiscal year. W hen the student leaves
school and after a short grace period (10 months or
less), he or she is required to begin making principal
and interest payments. The principal repayment
period is usually not less than five years nor more
than ten years from the end of the grace period.
The Guaranty Agency. In Iowa, the guaranty
agency is the Iowa College Aid Commission, which
maintains as one of its divisions the Iowa Guaran­
teed Student Loan program staff. Pursuant to the
Higher Education Act, the Iowa College Aid Com­
mission and the Secretary of Education have entered
into an agreement providing for federal reimburse­
ment to the Commission for the amount expended
by the Commission in discharge of its guarantee
obligations. This agency pledges 100% reimburse­
ment on each loan it guarantees and administers
under the federal insurance programs. Because it is
still w ithin its first five years of operation (the agree­
ment was signed in August, 1978), the Iowa agency
is receiving 100% claims reimbursement from the
federal program. At the end of this five year period,
the federal reimbursement w ill change to a sliding
scale based on actual claims experience. The actual
claim rate to date is extremely m inor (less than Vi of
1%), and the projected rate for the future is low
enough (less than 5%), that the Iowa agency w ill
continue to have 100% claims reimbursement by
the federal program.
The Iowa agency is also required to maintain a
"guarantee fu n d " equal to at least 2% o f the loans
guaranteed. This is funded by deducting a 1 %
guaranty fee from the face value of the loan at the
time of its disbursement to the student. The Iowa
guarantee fund presently has a balance of about
$2,700,000 and there are about $100,000,000
guaranteed loans outstanding.

volatile, an understanding of futures contracts,
including their use, the regulatory constraints, the
possible pitfalls, and the accounting principles involved,
is becoming an essential part of every money
manager’s knowledge.
To meet these needs, the Financial Futures Division of
FCC has developed a Financial Instruments Futures
Program that will provide participants with an
understanding of:
•

•
•
•

How futures contracts can be used by Financial
Managers to reduce the potentially Damaging effect
of volatile interest rates on earnings;
The possible pitfalls and dangers to be avoided;
How commodity exchanges and transactions

The prescribed accounting for futures contracts is in a
state of flux and can have a very significant impact on
a bank’s reported earnings. It is essential that the
accounting and regulatory principles be understood
before entering into futures contracts.

What are commodity exchanges and how do they
operate? What safeguards are provided to insure
against any losses from defaults of brokers, the
Exchange, or other parties to the transaction? How
are trades executed on the Exchange and what
procedures are necessary for a bank to buy or sell
a futures contract?

In addition, it is essential to understand the primary
internal control features that need to be addressed by
the bank, for filing with the regulators and for internal
bank operations.

Answers to these questions and the background of
futures exchanges and markets, with emphasis on the
rapid growth and use of interest-rate futures, will be
presented.
