The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued a revised compliance guide for the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework. The updated guide is designed to help community banks understand the revisions to the optional CBLR framework that went into effect July 1, the OCC said in a Thursday (July 30) press release. The revised framework could reduce the burden on 95% of community banks and free up $64 billion that could support additional lending to Main Street businesses, according to the release. The OCC announced in April that the federal bank regulatory agencies jointly finalized a rule to modify the CBLR. The OCC said the modifications would allow community banks to use a simpler measure of capital adequacy and reduce regulatory burden.
