Examination Rating System 

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance 

Agency (FHFA) is requesting comments 

on a proposed new examination rating 

system, which would be used when 

examining Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 

(Enterprises), the Federal Home Loan 

Banks (Banks), (regulated entity or 

entities), and the Banks’ Office of 

Finance. The new rating system would 

be based on a ‘‘CAMELSO’’ framework 

and would require an assessment of 

seven individual components dealing 

with Capital, Asset quality, 

Management, Earnings, Liquidity, 

Sensitivity to market risk, and 

Operational risk. The new system would 

replace those that had been developed 

by FHFA’s predecessor agencies, and 

FHFA intends to begin using the new 

ratings system for examinations that 

commence after January 1, 2013.
