Prompt Corrective Action; Amended Definition of Low-Risk Assets

In 2010, NCUA issued an Interim Final Rule expanding the definition of "low-risk assets" to include debt instruments on which the payment of principal and interest is unconditionally guaranteed by NCUA. Assets in this category receive a risk-weighting of zero for regulatory capital purposes to reflect the absence of credit risk. Having considered the public comments addressing the Interim Final Rule, NCUA is issuing this Final Rule permanently adopting the expanded definition of "low risk assets" without alteration.
