- Regulatory Capital: Category I and II Banking Organizations, Banking Organizations with Significant Trading Activity, and Optional Adoption for Other Banking Organizations
The Providing Accountability through Transparency Act of 2023 (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(4)) requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking include the internet address of a summary of not more than 100 words in length of the proposed rule, in plain language, that shall be posted on the internet website under section 206(d) of the E-Government Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note). In summary, the bank regulatory agencies request comment on a proposal to revise the risk-based capital requirements that apply to the largest, most internationally active firms to substantially simplify the framework, better align minimum requirements with risk, improve the consistency of requirements across U.S. firms, consider overlaps with the stress capital buffer requirement, and align requirements with international standards while ensuring the framework accounts for specific features of U.S. markets. The proposal and such a summary can be found at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for Docket ID OCC–2026–0265 and https://occ.gov/topics/laws-and-regulations/occ-regulations/proposed-issuances/index-proposed-issuances.html, https://www.federalreserve.gov/supervisionreg/reglisting.htm, and https://www.fdic.gov/federal-register-publications.

Anita H., a resident of Georgia, opposes the proposed reduction in capital requirements for banking institutions. She argues that lowering these buffers increases systemic risk, threatens depositor protection, and could lead to more frequent bank failures and economic instability.
Read comment → - Jun 16, 2026Stephen CecchettiOpposeAcademic📎 Attachment
A group of academics from various universities (including NYU Stern, Harvard, and Columbia) argues that the proposed rule would weaken the U.S. banking system's resilience by materially lowering capital requirements for systemically important banks. They contend that the agencies lack sufficient evidence to justify these cuts, misapply the nonbank migration rationale, and create dangerous deviations from international Basel III standards.
Read comment → - Mar 28, 2026Lewis TaishoffOpposeIndividual
The commenter opposes the proposed changes to risk-based capital requirements, arguing that the proposal allows banks that caused the 2008 financial crisis to continue risky activities with public money. They demand that banks hold more adequate reserves and that the FDIC focus on protecting everyday Americans rather than Wall Street interests.
