The FHFA has proposed a rule that would implement a provision of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act providing for a temporary increase in the minimum capital level for the entities regulated by the agency--the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal Home Loan Banks. The proposed rule would permit the FHFA Director to impose on the institutions capital levels higher than the statutory minimum and provide for periodic reviews of capital levels.
