**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
OFHEO published a final regulation setting forth a risk-based capital stress test on September 13, 2001, 12 CFR part 1750 (the Rule), which formed the basis for determining the risk-based capital requirement for the federally sponsored housing enterprises—Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively, the Enterprises). [^1]
[^1] Risk-based Capital, 66 FR 47730 (September 13, 2001), 12 CFR part 1750, *as amended* , 67 FR 11850 (March 15, 2002), 67 FR 19321 (April 19, 2002).
On September 12, 2002, OFHEO published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), 67 FR 57760, which proposed twelve technical and corrective amendments to the Rule. One commenter, Freddie Mac, expressed concern regarding the appropriate effective date for a proposed technical amendment that corrected a table that utilized original loan-to-value ratios rather than amortized original loan-to-value ratios (amendment number eight in the list of 12 amendments in the preamble of the NPRM). Freddie Mac also requested a delay in the effective date for two amendments relating to the implementation of Financial Accounting Standard 133 (FAS 133) in the Rule (amendments numbered 11 and 12 in the list of 12 amendments in the preamble of the NPRM). [^2] OFHEO also received comments requesting additional time to comment upon these two amendments. Subsequently, OFHEO reopened and extended the comment period regarding the two FAS 133-related proposed amendments, noting that it might move to final action on any of the other ten. [^3] OFHEO is also reviewing, and will delay action on, a proposed technical amendment regarding the definition of “unamortized balance” (amendment number seven in the list of 12 amendments in the preamble of the NPRM). OFHEO has determined to adopt as final immediately, the following eight proposed amendments as to which there were no issues remaining and to defer final action on the other four proposed amendments until after the extended comment period closes on October 29, 2002.

(1) Provisions relating to new activities are updated to cross-reference the Prompt Supervisory Response and Corrective Action regulation, 12 CFR part 1777, in paragraph 3.11.3[c] and to correct a typographical error in paragraph 3.11.2[a];
(2) Out-of-date third party sources of information related to interest rate indexes ( *e.g.* 30-year CMT, Bloomberg Tickers) are updated to reflect currently available indexes and to update the Rule to incorporate a reference to the applicable U.S. Treasury Department methodology. Specifically, the 30-year constant maturity yield is no longer reported by the Federal Reserve in the H.15 Release. In its place, the U.S. Treasury Department has developed a methodology using its “Long-Term Average Rate” and “Extrapolation Factors” designed to generate a substitute for the 30-year CMT yield series discontinued in February 2002. Similarly, the Bloomberg tickers for the Federal Agency Cost of Funds are being updated. Table 3-18 and paragraphs 3.3.1[b] and 3.3.2 are amended to reflect these changes;
(3) Credit Ratings in Table 3-30 are updated to include certain credit ratings used in the marketplace that were not listed in the original table. Specifically, Moody's assigns an additional rating from VMIG1 through VMIG3 to quantify the risks of the demand feature of variable-rate demand obligations and Standard & Poor's rates short term issuances as SP-1+, SP-1, SP-2, and SP-3;
(4) Paragraph 3.6.3.4.3.1 [a] 3. a. on single family default and prepayment explanatory variables is replaced in full, including equations, to correct the parenthetical (q= −7, −6,...0, 1,...40);
(5) Table 3-35, in which the explanatory variable categories for Relative Spread (RS <sub>q</sub> ) in the explanatory variable column were identified incorrectly, is replaced and a typographical error in paragraph 3.6.3.6.3.3[a]1. is corrected;
(6) The equation related to mortgage credit enhancement procedures at paragraph 3.6.3.6.4.3 is corrected to reflect the fact that in extreme circumstances ( *i.e.* , when defaults are zero), an equation in section 3.6.3.6.4.3 Mortgage Credit Enhancement Procedures produces “divide by zero” errors in the computer code;
(7) A typographical error in the equation in 3.7.3.1[g]2. for calculating haircuts for mortgage backed securities is corrected by changing a specified addition sign (+) to a multiplication sign (×); and
(8) Table 3-68 is revised to reflect that the Table relates to long caps and floors.
In order to make these eight adjustments applicable to the first fully enforceable risk-based capital calculation for each Enterprise, OFHEO has determined that the amendments shall be effective immediately and shall apply to any data submissions from the Enterprises received after the effective date. Waiver of the normal 30-day delay in effective date is in the public interest because these changes rectify errors in the code and in the language of the rule that could mislead the public if left unamended. In some cases they simply reflect changes that have already been implemented in the computer software used to implement the stress test and are necessary for the stress test to be operational. Moreover, both Enterprises have participated in data and software validation processes with OFHEO for the past year and have been aware of the pendency of these technical changes, which have no material impact on capital requirements, for many months.
**Regulatory Impact**
**Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review**
This document contains amendments to the Rule, which was designated a major rule by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The amendments address provisions of the Rule that are out-of-date, incorrect or contain typographical errors. OFHEO has determined that the amendments to the Rule are not economically significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. Further, they implement technical changes and do not involve novel policy issues. Therefore, these amendments are not a “significant rule” under Executive Order 12866.
**Paperwork Reduction Act**
These amendments do not contain any information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ).
**Regulatory Flexibility Act**
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ) requires that a regulation that has a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, small businesses, or small organizations must include an initial regulatory flexibility analysis describing the regulation's impact on small entities. Such an analysis need not be undertaken if the agency has certified that the regulation does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 5 U.S.C. 605(b). OFHEO has considered the impact of the regulation under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The General Counsel of OFHEO certifies that this regulation is not likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities because the regulation is applicable only to the Enterprises, which are not small entities for purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

**3.3.1 * * ***
[b] The process for determining Interest Rates is as follows: first, identify the values for the necessary Interest Rates at time zero; second, project the ten-year CMT for each month of the Stress Period as specified in the 1992 Act; third, project the 1-month Treasury yield, the 3-month, 6-month, 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 20-year, and 30-year CMTs; fourth, project non-treasury Interest Rates, including the Federal Agency Cost of Funds Index; and fifth, project the Enterprises Cost of Funds Index, which provides borrowing rates for the Enterprises during the Stress Period, by increasing the Agency Cost of Funds Index by 10 basis points for the last 108 months of the Stress Test. Guidance in determining interest rates is available under OFHEO Guideline No. 402, “Risk Based Capital Process for Capturing and Utilizing Interest Rates Files,” which is available on OFHEO's Web site, *http://www.OFHEO.Gov.*
