This technical amendment updates the definitions based on a 4.73 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, raising the small bank threshold to $1.384 billion and the intermediate small bank minimum to $346 million. The revised thresholds became effective on January 1, 2022, without prior public notice as the adjustment is mandated by a pre-existing formula.
