US FRB NPR Specification
Current status
The NPR released for consultation: Basel III Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
- Deadline to respond is 30th Nov 2023
- Implementation start date, 1st July 2025
Overview of differences with BCBS
-
The FRB does not use credit ratings.
- The use of ratings has mostly been replaced by broader credit quality categories.
- For SA DRC Securitizations, the risk weights cannot be calculated using SEC-ERBA, instead SEC-SA is used.
- There are no highly rated covered bonds for CSR non-Sec.
- For SA DRC non-Sec, the risk weights are specified by both bucket and credit quality category.
-
For CSR Curvature, the shocked credit spreads are floored at 0.
-
Some of the risk-weights and correlations that are specified by formulas in BCBS are specified as percentages (and rounded) in the NPR.
-
Equity and Commodity bucket changes.

US-NPR parameter set
Atoti FRTB includes the US-NPR parameter set, inheriting all the parameters from the (default) BCBS parameter set.
To use these parameters in queries, set the “Parameter Set” level to “US-NPR” (instead of the default “BCBS”).
