Subject: Department of the Treasury, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; Federal
         Reserve System; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation: Net Stable Funding Ratio:
         Liquidity Risk Measurement Standards and Disclosure Requirements

Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC); Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); and Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (collectively, the agencies), entitled Net Stable Funding Ratio:
Liquidity Risk Measurement Standards and Disclosure Requirements (RINs: 1557-AD97;
7100-AE51;  3064-AE44).  We received the rule on February 19, 2021. It was published in the
Federal Register as a final rule on February 11, 2021. 86 Fed. Reg. 9120. The effective date of
the rule is July 1, 2021.

The final rule implements a stable funding requirement, known as the net stable funding
ratio (NSFR), for certain large banking organizations. According to the agencies, this rule
establishes a quantitative metric, the NSFR, to measure the stability of the funding profile of
certain large banking organizations and requires these banking organizations to maintain
minimum  amounts  of stable funding to support their assets, commitments, and derivatives
exposures over a 1 year time horizon. The agencies state that NSFR is designed to reduce the
likelihood that disruptions to a banking organization's regular sources of funding will
compromise  its liquidity position, promote effective liquidity risk management, and support the
ability of banking organizations to provide financial intermediation to businesses and
households across a range of market conditions. The agencies also state that NSFR supports
financial stability by requiring banking organizations to fund their activities with stable sources of
funding on an ongoing basis, reducing the possibility that funding shocks would substantially
increase distress at individual banking organizations.
