Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

I find this part of the proposed rule interesting. I especially note how it hints that a consent order will be coming soon.



E. Transition Period
An Enterprise will not be subject to any requirement under the final rule until the compliance date for the requirement under the final rule. The compliance date for the regulatory capital requirements (distinct from the PCCBA or the PLBA) will be the later of the date of the termination of the conservatorship of the Enterprise (or, if later, the effective date of the final rule, which would be 60 days after publication in the Federal Register) and any later compliance date provided in a consent order or other transition order applicable to the Enterprise. In contrast, FHFA contemplates that the compliance dates for the PCCBA and the PLBA will be the date of the termination of the conservatorship of the Enterprise (or, if later, the effective date of the final rule), so as to provide additional authority to FHFA to restrict dividends and other capital distributions during the period in which the Enterprise raises regulatory capital to achieve compliance with the regulatory capital requirements. FHFA expects that this interim period could be governed by a capital restoration plan that would be binding on the Enterprise pursuant to a consent order or other transition order.

The final rule's advanced approaches requirements will be delayed until the later of January 1, 2025 and any later compliance date specific to those requirements provided in a consent order or other transition order applicable to the Enterprise. Regardless of the date of the termination of the conservatorship of an Enterprise, the Enterprise will be required to report its regulatory capital, PCCBA, PLBA, standardized total risk-weighted assets, and adjusted total assets beginning January 1, 2022.
