Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request
AGENCIES: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Treasury;
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); and Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Joint notice and Request for Comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the OCC, the Board, and the
FDIC (the agencies) may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is
not required to respond to, an information collection unless it
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number. The agencies, under the auspices of the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), have approved the
publication for public comment of proposed revisions to the risk-
weighted assets portion of Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital, and to
line items related to securities lent and borrowed in Schedule RC-L,
Derivatives and Off-Balance Sheet Items, in the Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (Call Report or FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041). The
proposed revisions to the Call Report are consistent with the revised
regulatory capital rules published by the agencies (revised regulatory
capital rules).\1\

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agencies are proposing to revise and
extend for three years the Call Report, which is currently an approved
collection of information for each agency.
Report Title: Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call
Report).
Form Number: Call Report: FFIEC 031 (for banks and savings
associations with domestic and foreign offices) and FFIEC 041 (for
banks and savings associations with domestic offices only).
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
OCC:
OMB Number: 1557-0081.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,675 national banks and federal
savings associations.
Estimated Time per Response: 59.64 burden hours per quarter to
file.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 399,588 burden hours to file.
Board:
OMB Number: 7100-0036.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 846 state member banks.
Estimated Time per Response: 60.07 burden hours per quarter to
file.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 203,277 burden hours to file.
FDIC:
OMB Number: 3064-0052.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,237 insured state nonmember
banks and state savings associations.
Estimated Time per Response: 44.74 burden hours per quarter to
file.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 758,254 burden hours to file.
The estimated time per response for the quarterly filings of the
Call Report is an average that varies by agency because of differences
in the composition of the institutions under each agency's supervision
(e.g., size distribution of institutions, types of activities in which
they are engaged, and existence of foreign offices). The average
reporting burden for the filing of the Call Report as it is proposed to
be revised is estimated to range from 20 to 775 hours per quarter,
depending on an individual institution's circumstances.
General Description of Reports
The Call Report information collections are mandatory for the
following institutions: 12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324
(state member banks), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured state nonmember banks),
and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings associations) (collectively, Call Report
filers). At present, except for selected data items, the Call Report
information collections are not given confidential treatment.
Abstract
Institutions submit Call Report data to the agencies each quarter
for the agencies' use in monitoring the condition, performance, and
risk profile of individual institutions and the industry as a whole.
Call Report data provide the most current statistical data available
for evaluating institutions' corporate applications, identifying areas
of focus for on-site and off-site examinations, and monetary and other
public policy purposes. The agencies use Call Report data in evaluating
interstate merger and acquisition applications to determine, as
required by law, whether the resulting institution would control more
than ten percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository
institutions in the United States. Call Report data also are used to
calculate institutions' deposit insurance and Financing Corporation
assessments and national banks' and federal savings associations'
semiannual assessment fees.
Current Actions
I. Overview of the Proposed Changes
A. Summary of Proposed Changes
Call Report Schedule RC-R collects regulatory data on tier 1, tier
2, and total capital and regulatory capital ratios (regulatory capital
components and ratios portion) and on risk-weighted assets (risk-
weighted assets portion). On January 14, 2014, the agencies published a
final PRA notice in the Federal Register pertaining to their
submissions to OMB for review and approval of revised reporting
requirements for the regulatory capital components and ratios portion
of Call Report Schedule RC-R, consistent with the revised regulatory
capital rules.\2\
[[Page 35636]]
The agencies are proposing at this time to revise the reporting
requirements for the risk-weighted assets portion of Call Report
Schedule RC-R by incorporating the standardized approach, consistent
with the revised regulatory capital rules.\3\ Compared to the current
schedule, the proposed risk-weighted assets portion of Schedule RC-R
would provide a more detailed breakdown of on-balance sheet asset and
off-balance sheet item categories, remove the ratings-based approach
from the calculation of risk-weighted assets, reflect alternative risk-
weighting approaches not reliant on credit ratings, and include an
expanded number of risk-weight categories, consistent with the revised
regulatory capital rules. The revisions to the risk-weighted assets
portion of Schedule RC-R would take effect as of the March 31, 2015,
report date. The proposed changes to Call Report Schedule RC-R are
discussed in more detail in section II below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ For report dates in 2014, the regulatory capital components
and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R will be designated Parts I.A and
I.B. Call Report filers that are not advanced approaches
institutions will file Part I.A, which includes existing data items
1 through 33 of current Schedule RC-R. Call Report filers that are
subject to the advanced approaches and to the revised regulatory
capital rules effective January 1, 2014, will file Part I.B, which
includes the revised reporting requirements consistent with the
revised regulatory capital rules. In March 2015, Part I.A would be
removed and Part I.B would be designated Part I; all Call Report
filers would then submit Part I. See 79 FR 2527 (Jan. 14, 2014) for
the revised regulatory reporting requirements.
An advanced approaches institution as defined in section 100 of
the agencies' revised regulatory capital rules (i) has consolidated
total assets (excluding assets held by an insurance underwriting
subsidiary) on its most recent year-end regulatory report equal to
$250 billion or more; (ii) has consolidated total on-balance sheet
foreign exposure on its most recent year-end regulatory report equal
to $10 billion or more (excluding exposures held by an insurance
underwriting subsidiary), as calculated in accordance with the FFIEC
009 Country Exposure Report; (iii) is a subsidiary of a depository
institution that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E
of 12 CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part 217 (Board), or 12 CFR part 325
(FDIC) to calculate its total risk-weighted assets; (iv) is a
subsidiary of a bank holding company or savings and loan holding
company that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to 12 CFR part
217 to calculate its total risk-weighted assets; or (v) elects to
use the advanced approaches to calculate its total risk-weighted
assets. See 78 FR 62204 (OCC and Board); 78 FR 55523 (FDIC).
\3\ 78 FR 62018 (Oct. 11, 2013) (OCC and Board) and 78 FR 55340
(Sept. 10, 2013) (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The agencies are proposing changes to Schedule RC-R in two stages
to allow interested parties to better understand the proposed revisions
and focus their comments on areas of particular interest. Therefore,
for report dates in 2014, all Call Report filers would continue to
report risk-weighted assets in the portion of Schedule RC-R that
currently contains existing data items 34 through 62 and Memoranda
items 1 and 2, but this portion of the schedule would be designated
Part II.
Call Report Schedule RC-L collects regulatory data on derivatives
and off-balance sheet items. The agencies are proposing at this time to
revise the reporting requirements for off-balance sheet exposures
related to securities lent and borrowed, consistent with the revised
regulatory capital rules. Compared to the current schedule, the
proposed changes to Schedule RC-L would require all institutions to
report the amount of securities borrowed. At present, institutions
include the amount of securities borrowed in the total amount of all
other off-balance sheet liabilities if the amount of securities
borrowed is more than 10 percent of total bank equity capital and
disclose the amount of securities borrowed if that amount is more than
25 percent of total bank equity capital. In addition, the proposed
changes to Schedule RC-L would place the line item for securities
borrowed immediately after the line item for securities lent.
B. Timing of Implementation of the Proposed Reporting Requirements
Call Report Filers
All Call Report filers, including all advanced approaches
institutions that file Call Reports, would continue to report their
risk-weighted assets by applying the general risk-based capital rules
\4\ and using the current template of Schedule RC-R, items 34 through
62 and Memoranda items 1 through 2, for report dates in 2014, and this
portion of the schedule has been designated Part II. All institutions
would begin using proposed revised Schedule RC-R, Part II, to report
their risk-weighted assets under the standardized approach effective
for the March 31, 2015, report date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The agencies' general risk-based capital rules are at 12 CFR
part 3, appendix A (national banks); 12 CFR part 167 (federal
savings associations); 12 CFR part 208, appendix A (state member
banks); 12 CFR part 225, appendix A (bank holding companies); 12 CFR
part 325, appendix A (state nonmember banks); and 12 CFR part 390,
subpart Z (state savings associations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Call Report filers would continue to report securities lent
(item 6) and securities borrowed (items 9 and 9.a, as appropriate) in
current Schedule RC-L for report dates in 2014. These institutions
would begin to use the updated line items for securities lent and
borrowed in Schedule RC-L effective for the March 31, 2015, report
date.
Advanced Approaches Institutions
Reporting risk-weighted assets: As discussed above, an advanced
approaches institution that is a Call Report filer, regardless of
whether it is in a parallel run period or has completed a satisfactory
parallel run, would complete the current version of the risk-weighted
assets portion of Schedule RC-R (which has been designated Part II of
the schedule) by applying the general risk-based capital rules for
report dates in 2014 and it would complete the proposed revised version
of Schedule RC-R, Part II, by applying the standardized approach for
report dates beginning in 2015. In addition, an advanced approaches
institution that is a Call Report filer and is in a parallel run period
would report its risk-weighted assets (as calculated under the general
risk-based capital rules for report dates in 2014 and under the
standardized approach for report dates beginning in 2015) and its risk-
based capital ratios on proposed revised FFIEC 101 \5\ Schedule A (line
items 60 through 63), and on proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part
I.B (line item 40.a and line items 41 through 43, Column A).
Furthermore, such an institution would apply the revised advanced
approaches rules to report its risk-weighted assets and risk-based
capital ratios on a confidential basis in proposed revised FFIEC 101
Schedule A (line items 87 through 90).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ FFIEC 101, Regulatory Capital Reporting for Institutions
Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework, OMB Numbers: For
the OCC: 1557-0239; for the Board: 7100-0319; and for the FDIC:
3064-0159. For the proposed revised FFIEC 101, see 79 FR 2527 (Jan.
14, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For report dates beginning in 2014, an advanced approaches banking
organization that is a Call Report filer and has completed a
satisfactory parallel run would report its advanced approaches risk-
weighted assets and risk-based capital ratios on proposed revised FFIEC
101 Schedule A (line items 60 through 63) and on proposed revised Call
Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B (line item 40.b and line items 41
through 43, Column B). Part I.B would be designated Part I of Schedule
RC-R for report dates beginning in 2015.
Initial Reporting
For the March 31, 2015, report date, institutions may provide
reasonable estimates for any new or revised Call Report items initially
required to be reported as of that date for which the requested
information is not readily available. The specific wording of the
captions for the new or revised Call Report data items discussed in
this proposal and the numbering of these data items should be regarded
as preliminary. Similarly, the text of the draft instructions for
proposed revised Schedule RC-R, Part II, and the proposed revisions to
Schedule RC-L for securities lent and borrowed should be regarded as
preliminary.
II. Discussion of Proposed Revised Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part II
This section describes the proposed changes to Call Report Schedule
RC-R
[[Page 35637]]
to implement the reporting of risk-weighted assets consistent with the
revised regulatory capital rules. As previously discussed, effective
for the March 31, 2015, report date, the existing risk-weighted assets
portion of Schedule RC-R (items 34 through 62 and Memoranda items 1 and
2, which was designated Part II as of the March 31, 2014, report date)
would be replaced by a revised Part II that would be completed by all
institutions that file the Call Report. Call Report filers should refer
to the revised regulatory capital rules and the proposed reporting
instructions for revised Schedule RC-R, Part II, for further
information.
Proposed revised Part II of Schedule RC-R would be divided into the
following sections: (A) On-balance sheet asset categories; (B)
derivatives and off-balance sheet items; (C) totals; and (D) memoranda
items for derivatives. A brief description of each of these sections
and the corresponding line items is provided below.
A. Schedule RC-R, Part II, Items 1-11: Balance Sheet Asset Categories
and Securitization Exposures
Proposed line items 1 through 8 reflect on-balance sheet asset
categories (excluding those assets within each category that meet the
definition of a securitization exposure), similar to the asset
categories included in the current version of Schedule RC-R, but the
proposed items would capture greater reporting detail. The number of
risk-weight categories to which the individual assets in each asset
category would be allocated would be expanded consistent with the
revised regulatory capital rules. On-balance sheet assets and off-
balance sheet items that meet the definition of a securitization
exposure would be reported in items 9 and10, respectively. In addition
to the proposed instructions for revised Schedule RC-R, Part II,
institutions also should refer to the revised regulatory capital rules
to determine the appropriate risk-weight category allocations for each
on-balance sheet asset category and the appropriate risk-weight
calculations for securitization exposures.
Subject to the separate reporting of securitization exposures from
the related on-balance sheet asset category, total on-balance sheet
assets are equal to the sum of: (Item 1) cash and balances due from
depository institutions; securities, excluding securitization
exposures, which are composed of (item 2.a) held-to-maturity (HTM)
securities and (item 2.b) available-for-sale (AFS) securities; (item 3)
federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell;
loans and leases held for sale, which are composed of (item 4.a)
residential mortgage exposures, (item 4.b) high volatility commercial
real estate (HVCRE) exposures, (item 4.c) exposures past due 90 days or
more or on nonaccrual, and (item 4.d) all other exposures; loans and
leases, net of unearned income, which are composed of (item 5.a)
residential mortgage exposures, (item 5.b) HVCRE exposures, (item 5.c)
exposures past due 90 days or more or on nonaccrual, and (item 5.d) all
other exposures; less (item 6) allowance for loan and lease losses;
(item 7) trading assets, excluding securitization exposures that
receive standardized charges; (item 8) all other assets; and on-balance
sheet securitization exposures, which are composed of (item 9.a) HTM
securities, (item 9.b) AFS securities, (item 9.c) trading assets that
receive standardized charges, and (item 9.d) all other on-balance sheet
securitization exposures. As mentioned above, off-balance-sheet
securitization exposures would be reported in item 10.
Line item 11 would collect total information on the institution's
on-balance sheet asset categories and on-balance sheet securitization
exposures, including for each risk-weight category, calculated as the
sum of items 1 through 9.
B. Schedule RC-R, Part II, Items 12-21: Derivatives and Off-Balance
Sheet Items
Proposed line items 12 through 21 pertain to the reporting of
derivatives and off-balance sheet items, excluding those that meet the
definition of a securitization exposure (which are reported in item 10
as discussed above). Consistent with the revised regulatory capital
rules, new line items would be added and the number of risk-weight
categories to which the credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and
off-balance sheet items would be allocated would be expanded. In
addition to the proposed instructions for revised Schedule RC-R, Part
II, institutions also should refer to the revised regulatory capital
rules to determine the appropriate risk-weight category allocations for
each derivative and off-balance item sheet category.
Derivatives and off-balance sheet items consist of: (Item 12)
financial standby letters of credit; (item 13) performance standby
letters of credit and transaction-related contingent items; (item 14)
commercial and similar letters of credit with an original maturity of
one year or less; (item 15) retained recourse on small business
obligations sold with recourse; (item 16) repo-style transactions
(excluding reverse repos), which includes securities borrowed,
securities lent, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase;
(item 17) all other off-balance sheet liabilities; unused commitments,
which is composed of (item 18.a) the unused portion of commitments with
an original maturity of one year or less, excluding asset-backed
commercial paper (ABCP) conduits, (item 18.b) the unused portion of
eligible ABCP liquidity facilities with an original maturity of one
year or less, and (item 18.c) the unused portion of commitments and
commercial and similar letters of credit that have an original maturity
exceeding one year; (item 19) unconditionally cancelable commitments;
(item 20) the credit equivalent amount of over-the-counter derivative
contracts; and (item 21) the credit equivalent amount of centrally
cleared derivative contracts.
C. Schedule RC-R, Part II, Items 22-30: Totals
Proposed items 22 through 30 apply the risk-weight factors to the
exposure amounts reported for assets, derivatives, and off-balance
sheet items in items 11 through 21 and calculate an institution's total
risk-weighted assets.
Line item 24 would collect information on an institution's risk-
weighted assets by risk-weight category. For each column, this is equal
to the product of the amount reported (item 22) for total assets,
derivatives, and off-balance sheet items by risk-weight category,
multiplied by (item 23) the applicable risk-weight factor.
Line item 25 would collect an institution's measurement of risk-
weighted assets for purposes of calculating the institution's 1.25
percent of risk-weighted assets limit on the allowance for loan and
lease losses.
Line item 26 would collect an institution's standardized market
risk-weighted assets, if applicable.
Line item 30 would collect an institution's total risk-weighted
assets, calculated as (item 27) risk-weighted assets before deductions
for excess allowance of loan and lease losses and allocated transfer
risk reserve less (item 28) excess allowance for loan and lease losses,
and less (item 29) allocated transfer risk reserve.
D. Schedule RC-R, Part II, Memorandum Items 1-3: Derivatives
In proposed memorandum items 1 through 3, an institution would
report the current credit exposure and notional principal amounts of
its derivative contracts. Consistent with the revised regulatory
capital rules, existing memorandum item 2 would be revised.
[[Page 35638]]
Memorandum item 1 would continue to collect the institution's total
current credit exposure amount for all interest rate, foreign exchange
rate, gold, credit, commodity, equity, and other derivative contracts
covered by the revised regulatory capital rules after considering
applicable legally enforceable bilateral netting agreements.
Memorandum items 2 and 3, respectively, would collect, by remaining
maturity and type of contract, the notional principal amounts of the
institution's over-the-counter and centrally cleared derivative
contracts subject to the revised regulatory capital rules. Data on
interest rate, foreign exchange rate and gold, credit (investment grade
reference assets), credit (non-investment grade reference assets),
equity, precious metals (except gold), and other derivative contracts
would be reported separately. At present, institutions report these
notional principal amounts and remaining maturities, but without
distinguishing between over-the-counter and centrally cleared
derivatives. In addition, foreign exchange rate contracts and gold
contracts would be combined in Memorandum items 2 and 3, whereas each
of these two types of contracts currently is reported separately in
Memorandum item 2.
III. Discussion of Proposed Changes to Call Report Schedule RC-L
This section describes the proposed changes to Call Report Schedule
RC-L to implement the reporting of securities lent and borrowed
consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. Effective for the
March 31, 2015, report date, the existing line item for securities lent
(current item 6 of Schedule RC-L) would be renumbered and the existing
reporting requirements for securities borrowed (current items 9 and
9.a) would be revised as described below. Call Report filers should
refer to the revised regulatory capital rules and the proposed
reporting instructions for revised Schedule RC-L for further
information.
In current Schedule RC-L, securities lent and borrowed are reported
separately, not in sequential order. Furthermore, all institutions must
report securities lent, but securities borrowed are reported and
disclosed only if the amount exceeds specified thresholds. Securities
borrowed are included in item 9, ``All other off-balance sheet
liabilities,'' if the amount of securities borrowed is more than 10
percent of Schedule RC, item 27.a, ``Total bank equity capital.'' If
the amount of securities borrowed is greater than 25 percent of total
bank equity capital, then that amount is reported separately in item
9.a, ``Securities borrowed.''
Proposed line item 6.a would be used for reporting securities lent
and item 6.b would be used for reporting securities borrowed. The total
amount of securities borrowed would be reported in line item 6.b
regardless of amount, not just when the amount is more than the 10
percent bank equity capital threshold, as is currently the case.
IV. Scope and Frequency of Reporting
The proposed regulatory reporting changes to the risk-weighted
assets portion of Call Report Schedule RC-R and to the reporting of
securities lent and borrowed in Schedule RC-L would apply to all Call
Report filers for report dates beginning in 2015. Each reporting entity
would continue to submit the applicable quarterly reports on the same
due dates as are currently in effect for the reporting entity. In
addition, the agencies expect all reporting entities to meet the
existing reporting standards for accuracy and other requirements as
currently mandated by their primary federal supervisor.
See section I.B of this notice for a detailed discussion of the
timing for the implementation of the proposed reporting changes.
V. Request for Comment

Schedule RC-R public would cause them competitive or other harm? If so,

this notice are necessary for the proper performance of the agencies'
functions, including whether the information has practical utility;

respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
