(national banks), 12 U.S.C. 248(a),

and bank holding companies); and 12
U.S.C. 1817 and 1820 (insured state

banks). The FFIEC 009 information
collection is given confidential
treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)).
The FFIEC 009a information collection

Abstract
The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC
009) is filed quarterly with the agencies
and provides information on
international claims of U.S. banks and
bank holding companies that is used for
supervisory and analytical purposes.
The information is used to monitor
country exposure of banks to determine
the degree of risk in their portfolios and
the possible impact on U.S. banks of
adverse developments in particular
countries. The Country Exposure
Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a
supplement to the FFIEC 009 and
provides publicly available information
on material foreign country exposures
(all exposures to a country in excess of
1 percent of total assets or 20 percent of
capital, whichever is less) of U.S. banks
and bank holding companies that file
the FFIEC 009 report. As part of the
Country Exposure Information Report,
reporting institutions must also furnish
a list of countries in which they have
lending exposures above 0.75 percent of
total assets or 15 percent of total capital,
whichever is less.

estimates of the burden of the

(national banks), 12 U.S.C. 248(a), 1844(c), and 3906 (state member

Abstract
The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC 009) is filed quarterly with the
agencies and provides information on international claims of U.S. banks
and bank holding companies that is used for supervisory and analytical
purposes. The information is used to monitor country exposure of banks
to determine the degree of risk in their portfolios and the possible
impact on U.S. banks of adverse developments in particular countries.
The Country Exposure Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a supplement to
the FFIEC 009 and provides publicly available information on material
foreign country exposures (all exposures to a country in excess of 1
percent of total assets or 20 percent of capital, whichever is less) of
U.S. banks and bank holding companies that file the FFIEC 009 report.
As part of the Country Exposure Information Report, reporting
institutions must also furnish a list of countries in which they have
lending exposures above 0.75 percent of total assets or 15 percent of
total capital, whichever is less.
