69U-140.003 Principles of Adequate Supervision of an

International Banking Corporation’s Foreign Establishments.

(1) No change.

(2) Section 663.05(9), F.S., requires OFR to establish

general principles to evaluate the adequacy of supervision of an

international banking corporation's foreign establishments.

These principles must be based upon the need for cooperative

supervisory efforts and consistent regulatory guidelines and

shall address, at a minimum, the capital adequacy, asset quality,

management, earnings, liquidity, internal controls, audits and

foreign exchange operations and positions of the international

banking corporation.

(2)(3) An international banking corporation with foreign

establishments is considered adequately supervised if it is

subject to consolidated supervision. Consolidated supervision

is supervision which enables the central bank or bank regulatory

agency of the home country (home country supervisor) to

evaluate:

(a) through (b) No change.

(3)(4) An international banking corporation with no

foreign establishments is considered adequately supervised if

the home country supervisor can evaluate the safety and

soundness of the international banking corporation's operations

through its offices or subsidiaries located in the home country.

(4)(5) The home country supervisor is deemed to be able

to evaluate the safety and soundness of the international

banking corporation, including its offices or subsidiaries, if the

home country supervisor maintains information on the

following regulatory components:

(a) through (d) No change.

(e) The capital adequacy of the international banking

corporation, its offices or subsidiaries as specified by the capital

adequacy guidelines in the home country or the capital

adequacy guidelines established by the Basel Committee on

Banking Supervision, Basel III: A global regulatory framework

for more resilient banks and banking systems Basle Committee

on Bank Supervision (May 1983), which is incorporated by

reference and available by mail from the Office of Financial

Regulation, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-

0371;

(f) through (h) No change.

(5)(6) Adequate supervision as described in subsections (2)

(3) and (3) (4) does not necessarily require supervision of

companies which control the international banking corporation

or require supervision of companies under common control

with the international banking corporation but not in the

international banking corporation’s chain of control. However,

in cases where a holding company is the only controlling

element in a banking group, holding company supervision by a

home country supervisor shall be required when it is needed to

ensure consolidated supervision of all banking entities in the

group.

(6)(7) In cases where a holding company is not supervised,

adequate supervision shall be considered to exist if the home

country supervisor regulates transactions between the

international banking corporation and controlling persons or

entities under common control.

(7)(8) An international banking corporation, its offices or

subsidiaries, shall be considered adequately supervised if it is

subject to comprehensive supervision. Comprehensive

supervision is supervision which ensures that the supervisory

processes and procedures are designed to inform the home

country supervisor about the international banking

corporation’s: financial condition, including capital position;

asset quality; and the capability of management.

(8)(9) Comprehensive supervision does not require the

home country supervisor to conduct on-site examinations of the

international banking corporation or its offices or subsidiaries.

However, at a minimum, it requires that the home country

supervisor:

(a) through (b) No change.

NOTICE OF HOSPICE PROGRAM FIXED NEED POOL

The Agency for Health Care Administration has projected a

fixed need pool for hospice programs, defined in accordance

with Sections 400.601-400.602, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and

408.031-408.045, F.S. Fixed need pool projections are for

hospice programs planned for January 2019, pursuant to the

provisions of Rule 59C-1.0355, Florida Administrative Code.

Letters of intent to apply for Certificates of Need pursuant to

this notice must be filed with the Certificate of Need Program

days of the publication. If the agency concurs with the error, the

fixed need pool number will be adjusted and republished in the

first available edition of the Florida Administrative Register.

Failure to notify the agency of the error during this ten day

period waives a person's right to raise the error at subsequent

proceedings. Any other adjustments will be made in the first

cycle subsequent to identification of the error including those

errors identified through administrative hearings or final

judicial review.

Any person whose substantial interest is affected by this action

and who timely advised the agency of an error in the action has

a right to request an administrative hearing pursuant to Section

120.57, F.S. In order to request a proceeding under Section

120.57, F.S., a request for an administrative hearing must state

with specificity which issues of material fact or law are in

dispute. All requests for hearings shall be made to the Agency

for Health Care Administration and must be filed with the

agency clerk at 2727 Mahan Drive, Building 3, Room 3431, MS

3, Tallahassee, Florida 32308. All requests for hearings must be

filed with the agency clerk within 21 days of this publication or
