The regulation specifies the risk-based capital stress test that will be used to determine each Enterprise’s risk-based capital requirement and, along with the minimum capital requirement, to determine each Enterprise’s capital classification for purposes of possible supervisory action.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 13, 2001.
