Capital; Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Servicing Assets — 1997-08-04 [97-20391]

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision, (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) propose to amend their capital adequacy standards for banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations (banking organizations) to address the treatment of servicing assets on both mortgage assets and financial assets other than mortgages (non-mortgages). This proposed rule was developed in response to a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) accounting standard that affects servicing assets; that is, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, ``Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities'' (FAS 125), issued in June 1996, which superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, ``Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights'' (FAS 122), issued in May 1995.
