measures semiannually to PHMSA.
Operators are encouraged to submit the
IMP reports using the electronic form
available on PHMSA’s Web site at
https://phmsa.dot.gov.
To minimize future transcription and
handling and to lessen the chance for
errors, PHMSA is modifying the gas IMP
electronic form to reflect the new legal
requirement for a senior executive
officer’s certification and signature.
Operators should enter the name and
title of the senior executive officer
certifying the report in the appropriate
blanks on the form and in the signature
block on the form. Operators should
keep in mind that entering the senior
executive officer’s name onto the
electronic form is equivalent to a paper
submission and has the same legal
authenticity and requirements as a
paper document.
In lieu of electronic filing, operators
can mail or fax the reports to PHMSA.
If submitting by mail or fax, the name
and title of the senior executive officer
certifying the report should be entered
in the appropriate blanks on the form.
The senior executive officer should
certify the report by signing this form in
the signature block.

with 49 CFR 195.49.
Operators of hazardous liquid
pipelines are encouraged to use the
Online Data Entry System (ODES)
available at the PHMSA Web site
located at https://phmsa.dot.gov to
submit annual reports. To minimize
future transcription and handling and to
lessen the chance for errors, we are
modifying the ODES electronic form to
reflect the new legal requirement for a
senior executive officer certification and
signature. Operators should enter the
name and title of the senior executive
officer certifying the report in the
appropriate blanks on the form and in
the signature block on the form.
Operators should keep in mind that
entering the senior executive officer’s

The Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), and the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) (‘‘the federal banking
agencies’’ or ‘‘the agencies’’) must
jointly submit an annual report to the
Committee on Financial Services of the
U.S. House of Representatives and the
Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs of the U.S. Senate
describing differences between the
accounting and capital standards used
by the agencies. The report must be
published in the Federal Register.
This report, which covers differences
existing as of December 31, 2006, is the
fifth joint annual report on differences
in accounting and capital standards to
be submitted pursuant to Section 37(c)
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. 1831n(c)), as amended. Prior to
the agencies’ first joint annual report,
Section 37(c) required a separate report
from each agency.
Since the agencies filed their first
reports on accounting and capital
differences in 1990, the agencies have
acted in concert to harmonize their
accounting and capital standards and
eliminate as many differences as
possible. Section 303 of the Riegle
Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (12
U.S.C. 4803) also directed the agencies
to work jointly to make uniform all
regulations and guidelines
implementing common statutory or
supervisory policies. The results of
these efforts must be ‘‘consistent with
the principles of safety and soundness,
statutory law and policy, and the public
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703

interest.’’ In recent years, the agencies
have revised their capital standards to
address changes in credit and certain
other risk exposures within the banking
system and to align the amount of
capital institutions are required to hold
more closely with the credit risks and
certain other risks to which they are
exposed. These revisions have been
made in a uniform manner whenever
possible and practicable to minimize
interagency differences.
While the differences in capital
standards have diminished over time, a
few differences remain. Some of the
remaining capital differences are
statutorily mandated. Others were
significant historically but now no
longer affect in a measurable way, either
individually or in the aggregate,
institutions supervised by the federal
banking agencies. In this regard, the
OTS plans to eliminate two such de
minimis differences during 2007 that
have been fully discussed in previous
joint annual reports ((i) covered assets
and (ii) pledged deposits,
nonwithdrawable accounts, and certain
certificates), and these differences have
been excluded from this annual report.
In addition to the specific differences
in capital standards noted below, the
agencies may have differences in how
they apply certain aspects of their rules.
These differences usually arise as a
result of case-specific inquiries that
have only been presented to one agency.
Agency staffs seek to minimize these
occurrences by coordinating responses
to the fullest extent reasonably
practicable.
The federal banking agencies have
substantially similar capital adequacy
standards. These standards employ a
common regulatory framework that
establishes minimum leverage and riskbased capital ratios for all banking
organizations (banks, bank holding
companies, and savings associations).
The agencies view the leverage and riskbased capital requirements as minimum
standards, and most institutions are
expected to operate with capital levels
well above the minimums, particularly
those institutions that are expanding or
experiencing unusual or high levels of
risk.
The OCC, the FRB, and the FDIC,
under the auspices of the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination
Council, have developed uniform
Reports of Condition and Income (Call
Reports) for all insured commercial
banks and state-chartered savings banks.
The OTS requires each OTS-supervised
savings association to file the Thrift
Financial Report (TFR). The reporting
standards for recognition and
measurement in the Call Reports and
