  <description><![CDATA[ The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board 
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision 
(OTS) (collectively, the agencies) are adopting a new riskbased 
capital adequacy framework that requires some and permits other 
qualifying banks \1\ to use an internal ratingsbased approach to 
calculate regulatory credit risk capital requirements and advanced 
measurement approaches to calculate regulatory operational risk capital 
requirements. The final rule describes the qualifying criteria for 
banks required or seeking to operate under the new framework and the 
applicable riskbased capital requirements for banks that operate under  the framework.<br/>
    \1\ For simplicity, and unless otherwise indicated, this final 
rule uses the term ``bank'' to include banks, savings associations, 
and bank holding companies (BHCs). The terms ``bank holding 
company'' and ``BHC'' refer only to bank holding companies<script type="text/javascript">
