For purposes of the Public Deposit Protection Act, a bank meeting adequate capital standards will maintain capital ratios as follows:
A. An eligible public depository must have and maintain a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio greater than or equal to 8 percent.B. If an eligible public depository's total risked-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is less than 8 percent, but greater than or equal to 6 percent, that eligible public depository shall adopt a written capital improvement plan that is acceptable to the Banking Board, and be able to meet the risk-based collateral requirements in Banking Board Rule PDP5.C. If an eligible public depository's total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio falls below 6 percent, that eligible public depository shall comply with the requirements of Banking Board Rule PDP5(D).D.
