SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board's GSIB surcharge rule establishes
a methodology to identify global systemically important bank holding
companies in the United States (GSIBs) based on indicators that are
correlated with systemic importance.\1\ Under the GSIB surcharge rule,
a firm must calculate its GSIB score using a specific formula (Method
1). Method 1 uses five equally weighted categories that are correlated
with systemic importance--size, interconnectedness, cross-
jurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity--and
subdivided into twelve systemic indicators. A firm divides its own
measure of each systemic indicator by an aggregate global indicator
amount. A firm's Method 1 score is the sum of its weighted systemic
indicator scores expressed in basis points. The GSIB surcharge for a
firm is the higher of the GSIB surcharge determined under Method 1 and
a second method, Method 2, which weighs size, interconnectedness,
cross-jurisdictional activity, complexity, and a measure of the firm's
reliance on short-term wholesale funding.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 12 CFR 217.402, 217.404.
\2\ Method 2 uses similar inputs to those used in Method 1, but
replaces the substitutability category with a measure of a firm's
use of short-term wholesale funding. In addition, Method 2 is
calibrated differently from Method 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aggregate global indicator amounts used in the score
calculation under Method 1 are based on data collected by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The BCBS amounts are
determined based on the sum of the systemic indicator amounts as
reported by the 75 largest U.S. and foreign banking organizations as
measured by the BCBS, and any other banking organization that the BCBS
includes in its sample total for that year. The BCBS publicly releases
these amounts, denominated in euros, each year.\3\ Pursuant to the GSIB
surcharge rule, the Board publishes the aggregate global indicator
amounts each year as denominated in U.S. dollars using the euro-dollar
exchange rate provided by the BCBS.\4\ Specifically, to determine the
2021 aggregate global indicator amounts, the Board multiplied each of
the euro-denominated indicator amounts made publicly available by the
BCBS by 1.2271, which was the daily euro to U.S. dollar spot rate on
December 31, 2020, as published by the European Central Bank.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

at <a href="https://www.bis.org/bcbs/gsib/denominators.htm">https://www.bis.org/bcbs/gsib/denominators.htm</a>.
\4\ 12 CFR 217.404(b)(1)(i)(B); 80 FR 49082, 49086-87 (August
14, 2015). In addition, the Board maintains the GSIB Framework
Denominators on its website, available at <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/basel/denominators.htm">https://www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/basel/denominators.htm</a>.
