The FDIC is amending its risk-based capital standards for insured state nonmember banks to implement section 350 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (Riegle Act). Section 350 states that the amount of risk-based capital required to be maintained by any insured depository institution, with respect to assets transferred with recourse, may not exceed the maximum amount of recourse for which the institution is contractually liable under the recourse agreement. This rule will have the effect of correcting the anomaly that currently exists in the risk-based capital treatment of recourse transactions under which an institution could be required to hold capital in excess of the maximum amount of loss possible under the contractual terms of the recourse obligation.
