SUMMARY: On June 11, 1996 (61 FR 29592), the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) entitled ''Risk-Based Capital,'' which proposes the methodology for identifying the benchmark loss experience. This NPR is a significant step in the process of developing a regulation to establish risk-based capital standards for the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. OFHEO has been requested to extend the comment period. To ensure that the public has ample opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process by commenting on the issues involved in the NPR, today’s notice extends the public comment period from September 9, 1996, through October 24, 1996.
DATES: The comment period is extended until October 24, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Anne E. Dewey, General Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, 1700 G Street, N.W., Fourth Floor, Washington, D.C. 20552.
