By default, the eCFR is displayed with paragraphs split and indented to follow the hierarchy of the document (“Enhanced Display”). This is an automated process for user convenience only and is not intended to alter agency intent or existing codification.
The eCFR also offers a “Drafting Display”, where the paragraphs shown match the original CFR text. If you work for a Federal Agency, you should use the “Drafting Mode” when authoring amendatory language for inclusion in the Federal Register.

(a) Purpose. This subpart E establishes:
(1) Minimum qualifying criteria for FDIC-supervised institutions using institution-specific internal risk measurement and management processes for calculating risk-based capital requirements; and
(2) Methodologies for such FDIC-supervised institutions to calculate their total risk-weighted assets.
(b) Applicability.
(1) This subpart applies to an FDIC-supervised institution that:
(i) Is a subsidiary of a global systemically important BHC, as identified pursuant to 12 CFR 217.402;
(ii) Is a Category II FDIC-supervised institution;
(iii) Is a subsidiary of a depository institution that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to 12 CFR part 3, subpart E (OCC), 12 CFR part 217, subpart E (Board), or this subpart (FDIC) to calculate its risk-based capital requirements;
(iv) Is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or savings and loan holding company that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its risk-based capital requirements; or
(v) Elects to use this subpart to calculate its risk-based capital requirements.
(2) A market risk FDIC-supervised institution must exclude from its calculation of risk-weighted assets under this subpart the risk-weighted asset amounts of all covered positions, as defined in subpart F of this part (except foreign exchange positions that are not trading positions, over-the-counter derivative positions, cleared transactions, and unsettled transactions).
(c) Principle of conservatism. Notwithstanding the requirements of this subpart, an FDIC-supervised institution may choose not to apply a provision of this subpart to one or more exposures provided that:
(1) The FDIC-supervised institution can demonstrate on an ongoing basis to the satisfaction of the FDIC that not applying the provision would, in all circumstances, unambiguously generate a risk-based capital requirement for each such exposure greater than that which would otherwise be required under this subpart;
(2) The FDIC-supervised institution appropriately manages the risk of each such exposure;
(3) The FDIC-supervised institution notifies the FDIC in writing prior to applying this principle to each such exposure; and
(4) The exposures to which the FDIC-supervised institution applies this principle are not, in the aggregate, material to the FDIC-supervised institution.
