functions and to increase the assessment
rate.
This action would increase the
assessment obligation imposed on
handlers. While the increase would
impose some additional costs on
handlers, the costs are minimal and
uniform on all handlers. Additionally,
these costs would be offset by the
benefits derived from the operation of
the order.
Like all Committee meetings, the May
13, 2013, meeting was a public meeting
and all entities, both large and small,
were able to express their views on this
issue. The Committee’s meeting was
widely publicized throughout the
Washington apricot industry and all
interested persons were invited to
attend and participate in the
Committee’s deliberations. Finally,
interested persons are invited to submit
comments on this proposed rule,
including the regulatory and
informational impacts of this action on
small businesses.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the order’s information
collection requirements have been
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
assigned OMB No. 0581–0189. No
changes in those requirements as a
result of this action are necessary.
Should any changes become necessary,
they would be submitted to OMB for
approval.
This proposed rule would not impose
any additional reporting or
recordkeeping requirements on either
small or large Washington apricot
handlers. As with all Federal marketing
order programs, reports and forms are
periodically reviewed to reduce
information requirements and
duplication by industry and public
sector agencies.
AMS is committed to complying with
the E-Government Act, to promote the
use of the internet and other
information technologies to provide
increased opportunities for citizen
access to Government information and
services, and for other purposes.
USDA has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or
conflict with this action.
A small business guide on complying
with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop
marketing agreements and orders may
be viewed at: www.ams.usda.gov/
MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide.
Any questions about the compliance
guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny
at the previously mentioned address in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

A 15-day comment period is provided
to allow interested persons to respond
to this proposed rule. Fifteen days is
deemed appropriate because: (1) The
2013–2014 fiscal period began on April
1, 2013, and the order requires that the
assessment rate for each fiscal period
apply to all assessable Washington
apricots handled during such fiscal
period; (2) the Committee needs to have
sufficient funds to pay its expenses,
which are incurred on a continuous
basis; (3) handlers are already shipping
Washington apricots from the 2013
crop; and (4) handlers are aware of this
action, which was unanimously
recommended by the Committee at a
public meeting, and is similar to other
assessment rate actions issued in past
years.

ACTION: Joint notice of proposed
rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (OCC), the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Board), and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
(collectively, the agencies) are seeking
comment on a proposal that would
strengthen the agencies’ leverage ratio
standards for large, interconnected U.S.
banking organizations. The proposal
would apply to any U.S. top-tier bank
holding company (BHC) with at least
$700 billion in total consolidated assets
or at least $10 trillion in assets under
custody (covered BHC) and any insured
depository institution (IDI) subsidiary of
these BHCs. In the revised capital
approaches adopted by the agencies in
July, 2013 (2013 revised capital
approaches), the agencies established a
minimum supplementary leverage ratio
of 3 percent (supplementary leverage
ratio), consistent with the minimum
leverage ratio adopted by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision
(BCBS), for banking organizations
subject to the advanced approaches riskbased capital rules. In this notice of
proposed rulemaking (proposal or
proposed rule), the agencies are
proposing to establish a ‘‘well
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

capitalized’’ threshold of 6 percent for
the supplementary leverage ratio for any
IDI that is a subsidiary of a covered
BHC, under the agencies’ prompt
corrective action (PCA) framework. The
Board also proposes to establish a new
leverage buffer for covered BHCs above
the minimum supplementary leverage
ratio requirement of 3 percent (leverage
buffer). The leverage buffer would
function like the capital conservation
buffer for the risk-based capital ratios in
the 2013 revised capital approaches. A
covered BHC that maintains a leverage
buffer of tier 1 capital in an amount
greater than 2 percent of its total
leverage exposure would not be subject
to limitations on distributions and
discretionary bonus payments. The
proposal would take effect beginning on
January 1, 2018. The agencies seek
comment on all aspects of this proposal.
DATES: Comments must be received by
October 21, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
directed to:
OCC: Because paper mail in the
Washington, DC area and at the OCC is
