## Abstract

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), in order to more accurately reflect the OCC's costs of supervising banks, is amending its assessment regulation to impose a surcharge on banks that receive a rating of 3, 4, or 5 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (UFIRS) (also referred to as the CAMELS rating) and on Federal branches and agencies of foreign banks that receive a rating of 3, 4, or 5 under the ROCA rating system (which rates risk management, operational controls, compliance, and asset quality). This amendment will enable the OCC to distribute more equitably the costs it incurs when supervising institutions that are experiencing significant problems. The OCC also is eliminating the annual franchise fee on banks that are registered as municipal and/or government securities dealers.
