Report title: Consolidated Financial
Statements for Bank Holding
Companies.
Agency form number: FR Y–9C.
OMB control number: 7100–0128.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Reporters: Bank holding companies
(BHCs).
Estimated annual reporting hours:
192,561 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
47.15 hours.
Number of respondents: 1,021.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory (12
U.S.C. 1844(c)). Confidential treatment
is not routinely given to the data in this
report. However, confidential treatment
for the reporting information, in whole
or in part, can be requested in
accordance with the instructions to the
form, pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6)
and (b)(8) of the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6) and (b)(8)).
Abstract: The FR Y–9 family of
reports historically has been, and
continues to be, the primary source of
financial information on BHCs between
on-site inspections. Financial
information from these reports is used
to detect emerging financial problems,
to review performance and conduct preinspection analysis, to monitor and
evaluate capital adequacy, to evaluate
BHC mergers and acquisitions, and to
analyze a BHC’s overall financial

condition to ensure safe and sound
operations.
The FR Y–9C consists of standardized
financial statements similar to the
Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC)
Consolidated Reports of Condition and
Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031 & 041;
OMB No. 7100–0036) filed by
commercial banks. The FR Y–9C
collects consolidated data from top-tier
BHCs with total consolidated assets of
$500 million or more. (Under certain
circumstances defined in the General
Instructions, BHCs under $500 million
may be required to file the FR Y–9C.)
Current Actions: On November 21,
2011, the Federal Reserve published a
notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
71968) requesting public comment for
60 days on the revision, without
extension, of the FR Y–9C report. The
comment period for this notice expired
on January 20, 2012. The Federal
Reserve received six comment letters on
this proposal. In addition, the Federal
Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (the
banking agencies) received these six
comment letters and two additional
comment letters on proposed revisions
to the Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (Call Reports)
(FFIEC 031 & 041; OMB No. 7100–0036)
that parallel the proposed revisions to
the FR Y–9C and are taken into
consideration for this proposal.
The FR Y–9C changes proposed in the
Federal Reserve’s November 2011
Federal Register notice, the first four of
which were proposed for
implementation in June 2012 and the
last of which was proposed for
implementation in March 2012,

Summary of Comments
The Federal Reserve received
comment letters from six entities on
proposed revisions to the FR Y–9C: two
banking organizations, two bankers’
associations, a commercial lending
software company, and a news
organization. The banking agencies
received these six comment letters and
two additional comment letters from
banking organizations on proposed
changes to the Call Report.
One bankers’ association offered the
general statement that its ‘‘members
expressed no concerns with many of the
[agencies’] proposed revisions.’’ None of
the commenters specifically addressed
the reporting changes proposed for
implementation as of March 31, 2012.
All eight of the commenters addressed
one or both of the two new schedules
proposed to be added to the FR Y–9C as
of June 30, 2012: Schedule HI–C,
Disaggregated Data on the Allowance for
Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), and
Schedule HC–U, Loan Origination
Activity (in Domestic Offices). One
bankers’ association expressed support
for the proposed new items for past due
and nonaccrual purchased creditimpaired loans, which were also
proposed to be added to the FR Y–9C as
of June 30, 2012, and recommended
‘‘that the [banking agencies] adopt these
proposed revisions without change.’’
The news organization supported the
proposed collection of data on
representation and warranty reserves for
1–4 family residential mortgage loans
beginning June 30, 2012. The Federal
Reserve concurs with this commenter’s
suggestion that the instructions for the
new items for these reserves clarify that
representations and warranties made to
mortgage insurers of loans sold fall
within the scope of these items.
In addition, the news organization
recommended that the Federal Reserve
consider significantly revising the
information they collect on mortgage
banking activities in Schedule HC–P by
adding further detail in certain areas
and deleting certain existing items.
These recommendations go well beyond
the Federal Reserve’s current proposal
to add new items for representation and
warranty reserves to Schedule HC–P.
The Federal Reserve will consider the
news organization’s ideas in
conjunction with their evaluation of
other possible FR Y–9C reporting
revisions that would be included in a
future proposal.
After considering the comments
received, the Federal Reserve is
proceeding with the instructional
revisions proposed for implementation
as of the March 31, 2012, report date as
PO 00000
Frm 00040

well as the proposed new items for past
due and nonaccrual purchased creditimpaired loans and representation and
warranty reserves for 1–4 family
residential mortgages effective as of the
June 30, 2012, report date. As for the
new schedules for disaggregated ALLL
data and selected loan origination data
proposed for implementation as of June
30, 2012, the Federal Reserve is
continuing to evaluate these two
proposed schedules in light of the
comments received and will publish a
separate Federal Register notice once a
decision has been made with regard to
these two proposed schedules. Because
of the additional time necessary for the
Federal Reserve to determine the
outcome of proposed new FR Y–9C
Schedules HI–C and HC–U and to allow
sufficient lead time for affected
institutions to prepare for any resulting
new reporting requirements, the
collection of disaggregated ALLL data
and selected loan origination data
would not take effect before the
September 30, 2012, report date.
The list below summarizes each of the
FR Y–9C reporting changes included in
the November 2011 proposal along with
its implementation status:
• Proposed new Schedule HI–C,
Disaggregated Data on the Allowance for
Loan and Lease Losses: Remains under
review by the Federal Reserve; not to be
implemented before September 30,
2012;
• Proposed new Schedule HC–U,
Loan Origination Activity (in Domestic
Offices): Remains under review by the
Federal Reserve; not to be implemented
before September 30, 2012;
• New Memorandum items in
Schedule HC–N, Past Due and
Nonaccrual Loans, Leases, and Other
Assets: Implement June 30, 2012;
• New items in Schedule HC–P, 1–4
Family Residential Mortgage Banking
Activities: Implement June 30, 2012;
• Instructional revisions addressing
the discontinuation of certain valuation
allowances by savings and loan holding
companies; and the accounting and
reporting treatment for certain capital
contributions: Implement March 31,
2012.
Consistent with longstanding practice,
for the June 30, 2012, report date,
institutions may provide reasonable
estimates for any new or revised FR Y–
9C reporting item initially required to be
reported as of that date for which the
requested information is not readily
available.

General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory
pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
(31 U.S.C. 513(h)). In addition, sections
11, 21, 25, and 25A of the Federal
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a), 483, 602,
and 611(a)) authorize the Federal
Reserve to require the information
collection and recordkeeping
requirements set forth in Regulations K
and H. Section 5 of the Bank Holding
Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844) and
section 13(a) of the International
Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3108(a)) provide
further authority for sections 211.5(m)
and 211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K. Since
the Federal Reserve does not collect any
information, no issue of confidentiality
normally arises. However, if a BSA
compliance program becomes a Federal
Reserve record during an examination,
the information may be protected from
disclosure under exemptions (b)(4) and
(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)).
Abstract: Sections 211.5(m)(1) and
211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K require Edge
and agreement corporations and U.S.
branches, agencies, and other offices of
foreign banks supervised by the Federal
Reserve to establish and maintain
procedures reasonably designed to
ensure and monitor compliance with
the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and related
regulations. Section 208.63 of
Regulation H requires state member
banks to establish and maintain the
same procedures. There are no required
reporting forms associated with this
information collection.
Current actions: On January 6, 2012,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (77 FR 794)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, without revision, of
the Recordkeeping Requirements of
Regulation H and Regulation K
Associated with Bank Secrecy Act
Compliance Programs. The comment

General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)). Confidential treatment is not routinely
given to the data in this report. However, confidential treatment for
the reporting information, in whole or in part, can be requested in
accordance with the instructions to the form, pursuant to sections

Abstract: The FR Y-9 family of reports historically has been, and
continues to be, the primary source of financial information on BHCs
between on-site inspections. Financial information from these reports
is used to detect emerging financial problems, to review performance
and conduct pre-inspection analysis, to monitor and evaluate capital
adequacy, to evaluate BHC mergers and acquisitions, and to analyze a
BHC's overall financial condition to ensure safe and sound operations.
The FR Y-9C consists of standardized financial statements similar
to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031
& 041; OMB No. 7100-0036) filed by commercial banks. The FR Y-9C
collects consolidated data from top-tier BHCs with total consolidated
assets of $500 million or more. (Under certain circumstances defined in
the General Instructions, BHCs under $500 million may be required to
file the FR Y-9C.)
Current Actions: On November 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve
published a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 71968) requesting
public comment for 60 days on the revision, without extension, of the
FR Y-9C report. The comment period for this notice expired on January
20, 2012. The Federal Reserve received six comment letters on this
proposal. In addition, the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
(the banking agencies) received these six comment letters and two
additional comment letters on proposed revisions to the Consolidated
Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031 & 041; OMB
No. 7100-0036) that parallel the proposed revisions to the FR Y-9C and
are taken into consideration for this proposal.
The FR Y-9C changes proposed in the Federal Reserve's November 2011
Federal Register notice, the first four of which were proposed for
implementation in June 2012 and the last of which was proposed for
implementation in March 2012, included:

Instructional revisions addressing the discontinued use of
specific valuation allowances by savings and loan holding companies,
and the accounting and reporting treatment for capital contributions in
the form of cash or notes receivable.
Further details concerning the preceding proposed FR Y-9C reporting
changes may be found in Sections A.1 through A.5.(2) of the November
2011 Federal Register notice.
Summary of Comments
The Federal Reserve received comment letters from six entities on
proposed revisions to the FR Y-9C: two banking organizations, two
bankers' associations, a commercial lending software company, and a
news organization. The banking agencies received these six comment
letters and two additional comment letters from banking organizations
on proposed changes to the Call Report.
One bankers' association offered the general statement that its
``members expressed no concerns with many of the [agencies'] proposed
revisions.'' None of the commenters specifically addressed the
reporting changes proposed for implementation as of March 31, 2012. All
eight of the commenters addressed one or both of the two new schedules
proposed to be added to the FR Y-9C as of June 30, 2012: Schedule HI-C,
Disaggregated Data on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL),
and Schedule HC-U, Loan Origination Activity (in Domestic Offices). One
bankers' association expressed support for the proposed new items for
past due and nonaccrual purchased credit-impaired loans, which were
also proposed to be added to the FR Y-9C as of June 30, 2012, and
recommended ``that the [banking agencies] adopt these proposed
revisions without change.'' The news organization supported the
proposed collection of data on representation and warranty reserves for
1-4 family residential mortgage loans beginning June 30, 2012. The
Federal Reserve concurs with this commenter's suggestion that the
instructions for the new items for these reserves clarify that
representations and warranties made to mortgage insurers of loans sold
fall within the scope of these items.
In addition, the news organization recommended that the Federal
Reserve consider significantly revising the information they collect on
mortgage banking activities in Schedule HC-P by adding further detail
in certain areas and deleting certain existing items. These
recommendations go well beyond the Federal Reserve's current proposal
to add new items for representation and warranty reserves to Schedule
HC-P. The Federal Reserve will consider the news organization's ideas
in conjunction with their evaluation of other possible FR Y-9C
reporting revisions that would be included in a future proposal.
After considering the comments received, the Federal Reserve is
proceeding with the instructional revisions proposed for implementation
as of the March 31, 2012, report date as well as the proposed new items
for past due and nonaccrual purchased credit-impaired loans and
representation and warranty reserves for 1-4 family residential
mortgages effective as of the June 30, 2012, report date. As for the
new schedules for disaggregated ALLL data and selected loan origination
data proposed for implementation as of June 30, 2012, the Federal
Reserve is continuing to evaluate these two proposed schedules in light
of the comments received and will publish a separate Federal Register
notice once a decision has been made with regard to these two proposed
schedules. Because of the additional time necessary for the Federal
Reserve to determine the outcome of proposed new FR Y-9C Schedules HI-C
and HC-U and to allow sufficient lead time for affected institutions to
prepare for any resulting new reporting requirements, the collection of
disaggregated ALLL data and selected loan origination data would not
take effect before the September 30, 2012, report date.
The list below summarizes each of the FR Y-9C reporting changes
included in the November 2011 proposal along with its implementation
status:
Proposed new Schedule HI-C, Disaggregated Data on the
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: Remains under review by the
Federal Reserve; not to be implemented before September 30, 2012;
Proposed new Schedule HC-U, Loan Origination Activity (in
Domestic Offices): Remains under review by the Federal Reserve; not to
be implemented before September 30, 2012;
New Memorandum items in Schedule HC-N, Past Due and
Nonaccrual Loans, Leases, and Other Assets: Implement June 30, 2012;
New items in Schedule HC-P, 1-4 Family Residential
Mortgage Banking Activities: Implement June 30, 2012;
Instructional revisions addressing the discontinuation of
certain valuation allowances by savings and loan holding companies; and
the accounting and reporting treatment for certain capital
contributions: Implement March 31, 2012.
Consistent with longstanding practice, for the June 30, 2012,
report date, institutions may provide reasonable estimates for any new
or revised FR Y-9C reporting item initially required to be reported as
of that date for which the requested information is not readily
available.
