Real Estate Lending Standards
The FDIC is issuing a final rule to amend Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies (Real Estate Lending Standards). The purpose of the final rule is to incorporate consideration of the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) rule, which does not require electing institutions to calculate tier 2 capital or total capital, into the Real Estate Lending Standards. The final rule allows a consistent approach for calculating the ratio of loans in excess of the supervisory loan-to-value limits (LTV Limits) at all FDIC-supervised institutions, using a methodology that approximates the historical methodology the FDIC has followed for calculating this measurement without requiring institutions to calculate tier 2 capital. The final rule also avoids any regulatory burden that could arise if an FDIC-supervised institution subsequently decides to switch between different capital frameworks.

CAMELS Rating System
The NCUA Board (the Board) is updating the NCUA's supervisory rating system from CAMEL to CAMELS by adding the ``S'' (Sensitivity to Market Risk) component to the existing CAMEL rating system and redefining the ``L'' (Liquidity Risk) component. The benefits of adding the ``S'' component are to enhance transparency and allow the NCUA and federally insured natural person and corporate credit unions to better distinguish between liquidity risk (``L'') and sensitivity to market risk (``S''). The addition of ``S'' also enhances consistency between the supervision of credit unions and financial institutions supervised by the other banking agencies. The effective date of the rule will be April 1, 2022. The Board plans to implement the addition of the ``S'' rating component and a redefined ``L'' rating for examinations and contacts started on or after April 1, 2022.
