Our calculation: construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential loans, divided by tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. It is not the test in the 2006 interagency guidance on commercial real estate concentrations (December 12, 2006; OCC Bulletin 2006-46, Federal Reserve SR 07-1). That guidance measures against total risk-based capital, also counts loans that finance commercial real estate but are not secured by real estate, and looks more closely when construction and land loans reach 100% of that capital, or commercial real estate loans reach 300% of it and have grown 50% or more in the prior 36 months. This figure uses a different capital base, leaves out the unsecured loans and applies no growth condition. The guidance sets no limit on lending. Not a rating, and not a statement about safety or deposits.
