ACTION: Joint notice and request for comment. AGENCY: 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 regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R, Regulatory Capital, in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report or FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041) and to the Risk-Based Capital Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework (FFIEC 101). The proposed revisions to the Call Report and the FFIEC 101 are consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules approved by the agencies during July 2013 (revised regulatory capital rules).1 SUMMARY: 1 See https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/ news-releases/2013/nr-occ-2013–110.html, July 9, 2013 (OCC); https://www.federalreserve.gov/ newsevents/press/bcreg/20130702a.htm, July 2, PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Institutions subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rules (advanced approaches banking organizations) that are not savings and loan holding companies would begin reporting on the proposed revised FFIEC 101 and, if applicable, proposed revised Call Report Schedule RC–R effective March 31, 2014. Advanced approaches banking organizations that are savings and loan holding companies and that are subject to the revised regulatory capital rules would begin reporting on the proposed revised FFIEC 101 effective March 31, 2015. All other institutions that are required to file the Call Report would begin reporting on proposed revised Call Report Schedule RC–R effective March 31, 2015. At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the FFIEC and the agencies should modify the proposed reporting revisions prior to giving final approval. The agencies will then submit the proposed reporting revisions to OMB for review and approval. In connection with the revised regulatory capital rules, published elsewhere in today’s Federal Register, the Board proposes to make corresponding revisions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y–9C) and to collect consolidated regulatory capital data from savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $500 million that are subject to the revised regulatory capital rules on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y–9SP).

At present, except for selected data items, Call Report information collections are not given confidential treatment. The FFIEC 101 information collections are mandatory for institutions using the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule (advanced approaches banking organizations): 12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 and 12 U.S.C. 1844(c) (state member banks and bank holding companies, respectively), 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b) (savings and loan holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured state nonmember commercial and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings associations). Under the agencies’ current practice, the FFIEC 101 information collections are given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) for report dates until after the reporting institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run. For report dates thereafter, Schedules A and B, as well as line items 1 and 2 of Schedule S, of the institution’s FFIEC 101 are no longer given confidential treatment. The agencies propose to make public the information collected on the proposed FFIEC 101 Schedule A, except for a few advanced approaches-specific line items, for all advanced approaches banking organizations, regardless of their parallel run status, starting with the report for the March 31, 2014, report date, consistent with the implementation timeline established by the revised regulatory capital rules. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 Aug 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 Abstract Call Report: 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. FFIEC 101: Each advanced approaches banking organization is required to file quarterly regulatory capital data. The agencies use these data to assess and monitor the levels and components of each reporting entity’s risk-based capital requirements and the adequacy of the entity’s capital under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework; to evaluate the impact and competitive implications of the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework on individual reporting entities and on an industry-wide basis; and to supplement on-site examination processes. The reporting schedules also assist advanced approaches banking organizations in understanding expectations around the system development necessary for implementation and validation of the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework. Submitted data that are released publicly will also provide other interested parties with information about advanced approaches banking organizations’ regulatory capital. Current Actions I. Overview of the Proposed Changes A. Summary of Proposed Changes Call Report 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). The agencies are proposing at this time to revise the reporting requirements for the regulatory capital components and PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ratios portion of Call Report Schedule RC–R, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. Compared to the current schedule, the proposed regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R would provide a more detailed breakdown of the regulatory capital elements, including deductions and adjustments, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. For report dates in 2014, the regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R would be designated Parts I.A and I.B. Call Report filers that are not advanced approaches institutions 2 would file Part I.A, which would include existing data items 1 through 33 of current Schedule RC–R. Call Report filers that are subject to advanced approaches and to the revised regulatory capital rule effective January 1, 2014, would file Part I.B, which would include the reporting revisions proposed herein 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. The proposed changes to Call Report Schedule RC–R are discussed in more detail in section II below. The agencies expect to publish at a later date a request for comment on a separate proposal to revise the riskweighted assets portion of Call Report Schedule RC–R to incorporate the standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets under the revised regulatory capital rules. The revisions to the risk-weighted assets portion of Schedule RC–R would take effect March 31, 2015. 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 contains existing data items 34 2 An advanced approaches institution as defined in 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 onbalance 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); (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.

Line items that are not applicable to U.S. banking organizations are shaded out and marked as not applicable (for example, prudential valuation adjustments in line item 7 and additional tier 1 capital instruments classified as equity or liabilities under GAAP in line items 31 and 32). The agencies believe that incorporating the complete Basel III common disclosure template into Schedule A is essential to ensure transparency and comparability of reporting of regulatory capital elements among internationally active institutions. The proposed revised Schedule A also includes additional line items, such as the supplementary leverage ratio, to collect data on the new requirements established by the revised regulatory capital rules. To ensure transparency of reporting regulatory capital by internationally active institutions, the agencies propose to make public the information collected on the proposed revised Schedule A, except for a few specific line items, starting with the March 31, 2014, report date. The agencies propose to continue granting confidential treatment to certain items that are dependent on the implementation of the advanced approaches systems while an advanced approaches banking organization is in its parallel run period. The agencies believe that according confidential treatment to such line items is important to ensure that the organization conducts a satisfactory parallel run and reports this data publicly only after its primary federal 3 See Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Composition of capital disclosure requirements; Annex 1; available at https://www.bis.org/publ/ bcbs221.pdf.

The agencies also propose to revise the risk-weighted assets schedules of the FFIEC 101 (Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R) consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules at this time to facilitate the timely implementation of the revised advanced approaches rules in 2014. B. Timing of Implementation of the Proposed Reporting Requirements Call Report Filers Call Report filers that are not subject to the advanced approaches rules would continue to report their regulatory capital data and regulatory capital ratios using the current template of Schedule RC–R, which would be designated Part I.A, during the reporting periods in 2014.4 These institutions would begin using proposed Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, to report their regulatory capital data and regulatory capital ratios effective March 31, 2015, at which time Part I.B would be relabeled Part I and Part I.A would be eliminated. Advanced Approaches Banking Organizations Reporting regulatory capital: An advanced approaches banking organization that is not a savings and loan holding company would use proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A and proposed Call Report Schedule RC– R, Part I.B, if applicable, to report its regulatory capital consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules, effective March 31, 2014.5 An advanced approaches banking organization that is a savings and loan holding company (SLHC), except top-tier SLHCs that are substantially engaged in insurance and commercial activities, would file the FFIEC 101 effective March 31, 2015, 4 For report dates in 2014, the regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R would be presented as two parts. Part 1.A would be identical to the current regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R and it would be used by Call Report filers that are not subject to the advanced approaches rules. Part I.B would be the proposed revised regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC–R and it would be used by Call Report filers that are subject to the advanced approaches rules. Starting on the March 31, 2015, report date, Part I.A would be eliminated and the proposed Part I.B of Schedule RC–R would be relabeled Part I, would be the only template for reporting regulatory capital data and regulatory capital ratios, and would be used by all Call Report filers. 5 Advanced approaches banking organizations that file the FR Y–9C would report their regulatory capital on proposed revised FR Y–9C Schedule HC– R, as described in the Federal Register notice published by the Board.

In addition, such an institution would apply the revised advanced approaches rules to report its risk-weighted assets and risk-based capital ratios on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line items 87 through 90). Beginning in 2014, an advanced approaches banking organization that conducts 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, if applicable (line item 40.b and line items 41 through 43, Column B). Supplementary leverage ratio and capital buffer: All advanced approaches banking organizations, regardless of their parallel run status, would report their supplementary leverage ratio effective March 31, 2015, on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line item 98) and on proposed revised Call Report Schedule RC–R, Part I (as relabeled in 2015), if applicable (line item 44). All banking organizations would report the applicable capital buffer effective March 31, 2016, on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line items 64 through 68) and on proposed Call Report Schedule RC–R, Part I (as relabeled in 2015), if applicable (line items 45 through 47).

II. Discussion of Proposed Call Report Schedule RC–R, Part I.B This section describes the proposed changes to Call Report Schedule RC–R to implement the reporting of regulatory capital information and ratios consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. As previously discussed, effective March 31, 2014: (1) the existing regulatory capital ratios portion of Schedule RC–R would be designated Part I.A and would be completed by institutions that are not advanced approaches institutions during the 2014 reporting periods, and (2) a new Part I.B would be added to Schedule RC–R effective March 31, 2014, and would be completed by advanced approaches institutions during the 2014 reporting period. Then, effective March 31, 2015, Part I.A would be eliminated, Part I.B would be redesignated Part I of Schedule RC–R, and all institutions would complete Part I. Call Report filers should refer to the revised regulatory capital rules and the proposed reporting instructions for further information. The proposed reporting instructions also provide guidance on how to calculate and report items subject to the transition provisions under section 300 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Proposed Part I.B of Schedule RC–R would be divided into the following sections: (A) Common equity tier 1 capital; (B) common equity tier 1 capital: adjustments and deductions; (C) additional tier 1 capital; (D) tier 2 capital; (E) total assets for the leverage ratio; (F) capital ratios; and (G) capital buffer.

The proposed line items align with the elements of common equity tier 1 capital under the revised definition of capital, including (item 1) common stock plus related surplus (net of treasury stock and unearned employee stock ownership plan shares), (item 2) retained earnings, (item 3) accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), and (item 4) common equity tier 1 VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 Aug 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 minority interests.8 As explained in section 21 of the revised regulatory capital rules, an institution may include a limited amount of common equity tier 1 minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary that is a depository institution or a foreign bank in its common equity tier 1 capital. Line item 5 collects the sum of items 1 through 4 to determine common equity tier 1 capital before adjustments and deductions. For purposes of reporting line item 3, AOCI, an institution that is not subject to the advanced approaches rules may make a one-time election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of AOCI in common equity tier 1 capital (AOCI opt-out election). An institution that makes an AOCI optout election must report ‘‘Yes’’ in line item 3.a and report the amounts in line items 9.a, 9.b, 9.c, 9.d, and 9.e. An institution that is not an advanced approaches institution would make this election when it completes Schedule RC–R in its Call Report for March 31, 2015 (or, for an institution that becomes insured after March 31, 2015, in the first Call Report it files after becoming insured). If an institution makes an AOCI opt-out election, the transition provisions for AOCI under section 300 of the revised regulatory capital rules would not apply to the reporting of AOCI in line item 3. All advanced approaches banking organizations that file the Call Report and all other insured depository institutions that choose not to make the AOCI opt-out election must report ‘‘No’’ in line item 3.a and complete line item 9.f. In addition, such institutions must report AOCI in item 3 subject to the transition provisions, as described in section 300 of the revised regulatory capital rules and the corresponding instructions. B. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 6–19: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital: Adjustments and Deductions Proposed line items 6 through 18 reflect adjustments and deductions to common equity tier 1 capital, as described in section 22 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Institutions must refer to the revised regulatory capital rules to determine the conditions under which deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) may be netted against assets subject to deduction. An institution would calculate and report the following adjustments and deductions, as described below, which would be summed in line item 18 and deducted from common equity tier 1 capital in line item 19. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 6: LESS: Goodwill net of associated DTLs: Goodwill is reported and deducted from common equity tier 1 capital. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 7: LESS: Intangible assets (other than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)), net of associated DTLs: Intangible assets, other than goodwill and MSAs, net of associated DTLs, must be deducted from common equity tier 1 capital. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 8: LESS: Deferred tax assets (DTAs) that arise from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances and net of associated DTLs: An institution must deduct DTAs that arise from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances and net of associated DTLs, from common equity tier 1 elements.9 Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 9: AOCI-related adjustments: An institution that makes an AOCI opt-out election in line item 3.a would adjust its common equity tier 1 capital by reporting the amount of specified AOCI components in line items 9.a, 9.b, 9.c, 9.d, and 9.e, that is, net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale (AFS) securities; net unrealized loss on AFS preferred stock classified as an equity security under GAAP and AFS equity exposures; accumulated net gains (losses) on cash flow hedges; amounts recorded in AOCI attributed to defined benefit postretirement plans resulting from the initial and subsequent application of the relevant GAAP standards that pertain to such plans; and net unrealized gains (losses) on held-to-maturity securities that are included in AOCI. An advanced approaches banking organization that files the Call Report and any other insured depository institution that chooses not to make the AOCI opt-out election would report in line item 9.f any accumulated net gain (loss) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI, net of applicable tax effects, that relate to the hedging of items that are not recognized at fair value on the balance sheet. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 10: LESS: Other deductions from (additions to) common equity tier 1 capital: Under the revised regulatory capital rules, 8 Under current GAAP, minority interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. In this regard, on the Call Report balance sheet (Schedule RC), such interests are labeled ‘‘Noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated subsidiaries.’’ 9 DTAs arising from temporary differences that the banking organization could realize through net operating loss carrybacks are not subject to deduction and instead receive a 100 percent risk weight.

Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 10.a: Unrealized net gain (loss) related to changes in the fair value of liabilities that are due to changes in own credit risk: An institution would report the amount of unrealized net gain (loss) related to changes in the fair value of liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet that are due to changes in its own credit risk. Advanced approaches banking organizations would include the credit spread premium over the risk-free rate for derivatives that are liabilities. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 10.b: LESS: All other deductions from (additions to) common equity tier 1 capital before threshold-based deductions: An institution would report in line item 10.b the total of the following deductions and additions: (1) Gain-on-sale associated with a securitization exposure: An institution must deduct from common equity tier 1 capital any after-tax gain-on-sale associated with a securitization exposure. Gain-on-sale means an increase in the equity capital of the institution resulting from the consummation or issuance of a securitization (other than an increase in equity capital resulting from the institution’s receipt of cash in connection with the securitization). (2) Defined benefit pension fund net assets net of associated DTLs: Defined benefit pension fund assets, net of any associated DTLs, must be deducted from common equity tier 1 capital. (This deduction does not pertain to defined benefit pension fund net assets owned by depository institutions.) (3) Investments in own regulatory capital instruments: To avoid doublecounting of regulatory capital, an institution must deduct any investments in its own common equity tier 1, own additional tier 1, and own tier 2 capital instruments from its common equity tier 1, additional tier 1, and tier 2 capital elements, respectively. Any common equity tier 1, additional tier 1, or tier 2 capital instrument issued by the institution which the institution could be contractually obligated to purchase must be deducted from its common equity tier 1, additional tier 1, or tier 2 capital elements, respectively. If an institution already deducts its investment in its own shares (for example, treasury stock) from its common equity tier 1 capital elements, it does not need to make such deduction twice. (4) Reciprocal cross holdings in the capital instruments of financial VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 Aug 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 institutions: A reciprocal cross holding results from a formal or informal arrangement between two financial institutions to swap, exchange, or otherwise intend to hold each other’s capital instruments. Institutions must deduct reciprocal holdings of capital instruments of other financial institutions in certain circumstances. The deduction is made by using the corresponding deduction approach as described in section 22(c) of the revised regulatory capital rules. The corresponding deduction approach requires the institution to make the deduction from the tier of capital for which the instrument would qualify. However, if the institution does not have a sufficient amount of the tier of capital to effect the required deduction, the shortfall must be deducted from the next higher (that is, more subordinated) component of regulatory capital. For example, if an institution is required to deduct a certain amount of regulatory capital from additional tier 1 capital and it does not have sufficient additional tier 1 capital to effectuate the deduction, then the amount of the deduction in excess of the available additional tier 1 capital must be made from common equity tier 1 capital. (5) Equity investments in financial subsidiaries: An institution must deduct the aggregate amount of its outstanding equity investments, including retained earnings, in its financial subsidiaries 10 from common equity tier 1 capital and may not consolidate the assets and liabilities of a financial subsidiary with those of the parent institution. No other deduction is required for these investments in the capital instruments of financial subsidiaries. (6) Advanced approaches banking organizations that file Call Report: After such an institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run, it would include expected credit losses that exceed its eligible credit reserves in this line item. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 11: LESS: Non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock that exceed the 10 percent threshold for non-significant investments: Non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions are investments where an institution owns 10 percent or less of the issued and outstanding common shares of an unconsolidated financial institution.

Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 12: Subtotal: An institution would report the amount in item 5 less the amounts in items 6 through 11. The amount reported in this item is used to calculate the common equity tier 1 capital deduction thresholds that are used for reporting items 13, 14, 15, and 16. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, items 13 through 16: LESS: Items subject to the 10 and 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital threshold deductions: An institution must report the amount of each of the following items that individually exceeds the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold (that is, 10 percent of the amount reported in line item 12). These items are referred to as items subject to the threshold deductions in section 22(d) of the revised regulatory capital rules and include: (1) DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks, net of any related valuation allowances and net of DTLs; (2) MSAs net of associated DTLs; and (3) significant investments in the capital of financial institutions in the form of common stock. The aggregate amount of the items subject to the threshold deductions (that are not deducted in line items 13, 14, and 15) are not permitted to exceed 15 percent of an institution’s common equity tier 1 capital. The aggregate amount in excess of the 15 percent threshold, if any, calculated in accordance with section 22(d)(2) of the revised regulatory capital rules and the corresponding line item instructions, must be deducted in line item 16. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 17: LESS: Deductions applied to common equity tier 1 capital due to insufficient amount of additional tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital to cover deductions: If an institution does not have a sufficient amount of additional tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital to cover deductions, then the shortfall must be reported in this line item. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, items 18 and 19: An institution would summarize total adjustments and deductions in line item 18 and deduct that amount from its common equity tier 1 capital before adjustments and deductions to determine its common equity tier 1 capital, which would be reported in line item 19.

Additional tier 1 capital is the sum of: (item 20) additional tier 1 capital instruments that satisfy the eligibility criteria described in section 20 of the revised regulatory capital rules plus related surplus; (item 21) non-qualifying capital instruments subject to phase-out from additional tier 1 capital; and (item 22) tier 1 minority interest that is not included in an institution’s common equity tier 1 capital; less (item 24) applicable deductions. Line item 26 collects information on the institution’s tier 1 capital, calculated as the sum of (item 19) common equity tier 1 capital and (item 25) additional tier 1 capital. D.

Advanced approaches banking organizations would report line items 30.b (eligible credit reserves includable in tier 2 capital), 32.b (tier 2 capital before deductions), 34.b (tier 2 capital), and 35.b (total capital) only after these institutions conduct a satisfactory parallel run. Line item 35.a would collect information on an institution’s total capital, which is the sum of (item 26) tier 1 capital and (item 34) tier 2 capital. E. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 36 Through 39: Total Assets for the Leverage Ratio Institutions would report total assets for the leverage ratio denominator in line item 39, calculated as: (item 36) average total consolidated assets; less (item 37) deductions from common equity tier 1 capital and additional tier 1 capital; and less (item 38) other VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 Aug 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 deductions from (additions to) assets for leverage ratio purposes, as described under sections 22(a), (c), and (d) of the revised regulatory capital rules. F. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 40 Through 45: Total Risk-Weighted Assets and Capital Ratios Line item 40 would collect information on an institution’s riskweighted assets. Line items 41 through 45 would collect information on the following regulatory capital ratios: (item 41) common equity tier 1 capital ratio; (item 42) tier 1 capital ratio; (item 43) total capital ratio; (item 44) tier 1 leverage ratio; and, for advanced approaches institutions, (item 45) supplementary leverage ratio, all calculated as described in section 10 of the revised regulatory capital rules. During the reporting periods in 2014, Call Report filers would continue applying the general risk-based capital rules to report their total risk-weighted assets in line item 40.a of Part I of Schedule RC–R (as currently reported in item 62 of the risk-weighted assets portion of Schedule RC–R). The amount in line item 40 would serve as the denominator of the risk-based capital ratios reported in line items 41 through 44 (Column A). Effective March 31, 2015, Call Report filers would apply the standardized approach, described in subpart D of the revised regulatory capital rules, to report their riskweighted assets in line item 40.a and the risk-based capital ratios in line items 41 through 44 (Column A) of the regulatory capital ratios portion of Schedule RC–R. Advanced approaches institutions would report line items 40 through 45 on the proposed Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, as follows. • During the reporting periods in 2014, these institutions would continue applying the general risk-based capital rules to report their total risk-weighted assets in line item 40.a, which would serve as the denominator of the ratios reported in line items 41 through 44 (Column A). • Starting on March 31, 2015, these institutions would apply the standardized approach, described in subpart D of the revised regulatory capital rules, to report their riskweighted assets in item 40.a and the regulatory capital ratios in items 41 through 44. After they conduct a satisfactory parallel run, these institutions would report their total riskweighted assets (item 40.b) and regulatory capital ratios (items 41 through 44, Column B) using the advanced approaches rule. • In addition, starting on March 31, 2015, these institutions would report a PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 supplementary leverage ratio in item 45, as described in section 10 of the revised regulatory capital rules. G. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 46 Through 48: Capital Buffer Under section 11 of the revised regulatory capital rules, institutions must hold sufficient common equity tier 1 capital to avoid limitations on distributions and discretionary bonus payments. An institution’s capital conservation buffer, which would be reported in item 46.a, is the lowest of the following measures: (1) The institution’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio minus the applicable minimum (4 percent in 2014, 4.5 percent in 2015 and thereafter); (2) the institution’s tier 1 capital ratio minus the applicable minimum (5.5 percent in 2014, 6 percent in 2015 and thereafter); and (3) the institution’s total capital ratio minus 8 percent. Advanced approaches banking organizations must make additional calculations to account for all the applicable buffers and report the resulting amount in item 46.b, as described in section 11 of the revised regulatory capital rules. If an institution’s capital buffer is less than or equal to the applicable minimum capital conservation buffer (or, in the case of an advanced approaches institution, the applicable minimum capital conservation buffer plus any other applicable capital buffers), then it must report eligible retained income in item 47 and distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers in item 48, as described in section 11 of the revised regulatory capital rules. III. Discussion of the Proposed FFIEC 101 Changes A. Schedule A: Advanced Risk-Based Capital As described in section I.A of this notice, the proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A incorporates the Basel III common disclosure template to ensure consistency and comparability of reporting of regulatory capital elements by internationally active institutions. Although the changes proposed to be made to Schedule A of the FFIEC 101 are consistent with the regulatory capital reporting approach followed in proposed Call Report Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, as described in section II of this notice, advanced approaches banking organizations would provide a more granular breakdown of regulatory capital elements, deductions and adjustments, and regulatory capital instruments subject to phase-out in Schedule A, consistent with the Basel III common disclosure template. Advanced E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2013 / Notices approaches banking organizations would be able to continue to import the majority of the line items from proposed Call Report Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, into proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A.11 Reporting confidential line items during the parallel run period: As noted in section I.B of this notice, the agencies propose to make public the information collected on proposed revised Schedule A, except for a few specific line items, for all advanced approaches banking organizations, starting with the March 31, 2014, report date. Since the majority of the line items on the proposed Schedule A would also be publicly reported on the proposed Call Report Schedule RC–R, the additional disclosure of regulatory capital elements on proposed revised Schedule A while the institution is conducting its parallel run would be minimal. The agencies propose to grant confidential treatment to items that are dependent on the implementation of the advanced approaches systems to ensure compliance with the revised advanced approaches rules. Specifically, while an institution is conducting its parallel run, the following line items on proposed revised Schedule A would be reported on a confidential basis using the revised advanced approaches rules: item 78 (total eligible credit reserves calculated under the advanced approaches rules); item 79 (amount of eligible credit reserves includable in tier 2 capital); item 86 (expected credit loss that exceeds eligible credit reserves); item 87 (advanced approaches risk-weighted assets); item 88 (common equity tier 1 capital ratio calculated using the advanced approaches); item 89 (tier 1 capital ratio calculated using the advanced approaches); and item 90 (total capital ratio using the advanced approaches). In addition, an institution that is conducting its parallel run would report ‘‘zero’’ in line item 12 (expected credit loss that exceeds eligible credit reserves) and would report line item 50 (eligible credit reserves) and line item 60 (total risk-weighted assets) by applying the general risk-based capital rules in 2014 and the standardized approach in 2015. After an institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run, the entire Schedule A would be made public. In addition, such an institution would then begin to report line item 12 (expected credit loss that exceeds eligible credit 11 Advanced approaches banking organizations that file the FR Y–9C rather than the Call Report would be able to import the majority of the line items from proposed revised Schedule HC–R published by the Federal Reserve Board into proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A.

Supplementary leverage ratio: Proposed line items 91 through 98 in the Schedule A would collect data on a new supplementary leverage ratio requirement for advanced approaches banking organizations, effective March 31, 2015. Consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules, an advanced approaches banking organization would report the supplementary leverage ratio calculated as the simple arithmetic mean of the three monthly leverage ratios over the reporting quarter. B. Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R: Risk-Weighted Assets This section describes the proposed revisions to Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R of the FFIEC 101, which are intended to be consistent with the revised advanced approaches rules to calculate the risk-weighted assets. The proposed revisions reflect changes to the methodologies for calculating regulatory capital for counterparty credit risk, securitization exposures, and exposures to central counterparties (CCPs). In addition, the proposed changes incorporate capital requirements for credit valuation adjustments (CVA), wrong-way risk, margin risk, exposures subject to a wholesale correlation factor multiplier of 1.25, cleared derivative and repostyle transactions, and default fund contributions to CCPs. As is currently the case, FFIEC 101 Schedules B through S will be given confidential treatment while an institution is conducting its parallel run. Also, as is currently the case, after an institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run, Schedule B and line items 1 and 2 of Schedule S will no longer be given confidential treatment. Schedules H and J: Credit valuation adjustments (CVAs): The proposed insertion of memorandum items in Schedule H (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans, Repo-Style Transactions, and OTC Derivatives with Cross-Product Netting) and Schedule J (Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects the CVA requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivative activities. Under the revised regulatory capital rules, CVA is the fair value adjustment to reflect counterparty credit risk in the valuation of an OTC derivative contract. Advanced approaches banking organizations must hold capital to reflect the CVA due to changes in counterparties’ credit spreads, assuming fixed expected exposure (EE) profiles. PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48939 The advanced approaches rules provide two approaches for calculating the CVA capital requirement: the simple and advanced CVA approaches. The conditions for each approach, as well as the methods for calculation, are described in section 132 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Schedule P: Securitization exposures: The agencies propose to combine the current Schedule P (Securitization Exposures Subject to Ratings-based or Internal Assessment Approaches) and Schedule Q (Securitization Detail Schedule) into a new Schedule P (Securitization Exposures). This proposed revision reflects a number of changes to the securitization framework, including the replacement of the ratings-based and internal assessment approaches from the advanced approaches rules with the simplified supervisory formula approach, and the introduction of a specific treatment for resecuritization exposures. The revised advanced approaches rules introduce enhanced due diligence requirements and require banking organizations to assign higher risk weights to resecuritization exposures than other securitization exposures with similar credit characteristics. The revised advanced approaches rules introduce new operational criteria for recognizing risk transfer as well as revisions to the hierarchy of approaches in the securitization framework. The operational criteria as well as the revised hierarchy of approaches are described in sections 141 through 145 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Schedule Q: Cleared transactions: The proposed new Schedule Q (Cleared Transactions) reflects the treatment for cleared transactions and is intended to capture exposures to CCPs. The revised advanced approaches rules introduce a capital requirement for transactions with CCPs and a more risk-sensitive approach for determining the capital requirement for a banking organization’s contributions to the default funds of these CCPs. The calculation of the trade exposure amount for a cleared transaction is described in section 133 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Schedules C, D, H, I, and J: Exposures subject to a 1.25 asset correlation factor: The proposed insertion of memorandum items in Schedule C (Wholesale Exposure: Corporate), Schedule D (Wholesale Exposure: Bank), Schedule H (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans, Repo-Style Transactions, and OTC Derivatives with Cross-Product Netting); Schedule I (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans and Repo-Style Transactions No CrossProduct Netting), and Schedule J E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1 48940 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2013 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES (Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects the new 1.25 asset correlation factor for certain unregulated financial institutions as well as regulated financial institutions with assets of at least $100 billion. The advanced approaches rules introduce the 1.25 multiplier to capture the correlation of financial institutions’ common risk factors. The formula for these wholesale exposures is described in section 131 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Schedules H, I, and J: Internal models methodology (IMM) margin period of risk and specific wrong-way risk: The proposed insertion of memorandum items in Schedule H (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans, RepoStyle Transactions, and OTC Derivatives with Cross-Product Netting), Schedule I (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans and Repo-Style Transactions No Cross-Product Netting) and Schedule J (Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects the new capital requirements for the margin period of risk and wrong-way risk in the advanced approaches. The revised advanced approaches rules introduce an increased margin period of risk of 20 days. In addition, for OTC derivative transactions, repo-style transactions, and margin loans that exhibit wrongway risk, the advanced approaches rules require a banking organization to apply an increased capital requirement rather than the IMM to these exposures. The calculations and requirements associated with margin period of risk and wrong-way risk are described in section 132 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Schedules B and R: Summary table and equity exposures: The proposed revisions to Schedule B (Summary Riskweighted Assets Information for Banks) reflect the proposed changes to the schedules described above in this section III.B. In addition, the revised advanced approaches rules remove the prior money market fund approach for equity exposures. Accordingly, in proposed revised Schedule R (Equity Exposures), the agencies propose to remove this approach. 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. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Valerie J.

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment 
Request

AGENCY: 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 regulatory 
capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R, Regulatory 
Capital, in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call 
Report or FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041) and to the Risk-Based Capital 
Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy 
Framework (FFIEC 101). The proposed revisions to the Call Report and 
the FFIEC 101 are consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules 
approved by the agencies during July 2013 (revised regulatory capital 
rules).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2013/nr-occ-2013-110.html, July 9, 2013 (OCC); https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/20130702a.htm, July 2, 
2013 (Board); and https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2013/pr13060.html, July 9, 2013 (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Institutions subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital 
rules (advanced approaches banking organizations) that are not savings 
and loan holding companies would begin reporting on the proposed 
revised FFIEC 101 and, if applicable, proposed revised Call Report 
Schedule RC-R effective March 31, 2014. Advanced approaches banking 
organizations that are savings and loan holding companies and that are 
subject to the revised regulatory capital rules would begin reporting 
on the proposed revised FFIEC 101 effective March 31, 2015. All other 
institutions that are required to file the Call Report would begin 
reporting on proposed revised Call Report Schedule RC-R effective March 
31, 2015.
    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations 
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the FFIEC 
and the agencies should modify the proposed reporting revisions prior 
to giving final approval. The agencies will then submit the proposed 
reporting revisions to OMB for review and approval.
    In connection with the revised regulatory capital rules, published 
elsewhere in today's Federal Register, the Board proposes to make 
corresponding revisions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 
Holding Companies (FR Y-9C) and to collect consolidated regulatory 
capital data from savings and loan holding companies with total 
consolidated assets of less than $500 million that are subject to the 
revised regulatory capital rules on the Parent Company Only Financial 
Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y-9SP).

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 
commercial and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings 
associations) (collectively, Call Report filers). At present, except 
for selected data items, Call Report information collections are not 
given confidential treatment.
    The FFIEC 101 information collections are mandatory for 
institutions using the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule 
(advanced approaches banking organizations): 12 U.S.C. 161 (national 
banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 and 12 U.S.C. 1844(c) (state member banks and 
bank holding companies, respectively), 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b) (savings and 
loan holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured state nonmember 
commercial and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings 
associations). Under the agencies' current practice, the FFIEC 101 
information collections are given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(4)) for report dates until after the reporting institution 
conducts a satisfactory parallel run. For report dates thereafter, 
Schedules A and B, as well as line items 1 and 2 of Schedule S, of the 
institution's FFIEC 101 are no longer given confidential treatment. The 
agencies propose to make public the information collected on the 
proposed FFIEC 101 Schedule A, except for a few advanced approaches-
specific line items, for all advanced approaches banking organizations, 
regardless of their parallel run status, starting with the report for 
the March 31, 2014, report date, consistent with the implementation 
timeline established by the revised regulatory capital rules.

Abstract

    Call Report: 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.
    FFIEC 101: Each advanced approaches banking organization is 
required to file quarterly regulatory capital data. The agencies use 
these data to assess and monitor the levels and components of each 
reporting entity's risk-based capital requirements and the adequacy of 
the entity's capital under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework; to 
evaluate the impact and competitive implications of the Advanced 
Capital Adequacy Framework on individual reporting entities and on an 
industry-wide basis; and to supplement on-site examination processes. 
The reporting schedules also assist advanced approaches banking 
organizations in understanding expectations around the system 
development necessary for implementation and validation of the Advanced 
Capital Adequacy Framework. Submitted data that are released publicly 
will also provide other interested parties with information about 
advanced approaches banking organizations' regulatory capital.

Current Actions

I. Overview of the Proposed Changes

A. Summary of Proposed Changes

Call Report
    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). The agencies are proposing at this time to 
revise the reporting requirements for the regulatory capital components 
and ratios portion of Call Report Schedule RC-R, consistent with the 
revised regulatory capital rules. Compared to the current schedule, the 
proposed regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule 
RC-R would provide a more detailed breakdown of the regulatory capital 
elements, including deductions and adjustments, consistent with the 
revised regulatory capital rules. For report dates in 2014, the 
regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R would 
be designated Parts I.A and I.B. Call Report filers that are not 
advanced approaches institutions \2\ would file Part I.A, which would 
include existing data items 1 through 33 of current Schedule RC-R. Call 
Report filers that are subject to advanced approaches and to the 
revised regulatory capital rule effective January 1, 2014, would file 
Part I.B, which would include the reporting revisions proposed herein 
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. The proposed changes to 
Call Report Schedule RC-R are discussed in more detail in section II 
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ An advanced approaches institution as defined in 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); (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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The agencies expect to publish at a later date a request for 
comment on a separate proposal to revise the risk-weighted assets 
portion of Call Report Schedule RC-R to incorporate the standardized 
approach for calculating risk-weighted assets under the revised 
regulatory capital rules. The revisions to the risk-weighted assets 
portion of Schedule RC-R would take effect March 31, 2015. 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 contains 
existing data items 34

[[Page 48935]]

through 62 and Memorandum items 1 and 2 of current Schedule RC-R, but 
this portion of the schedule would be designated Part II and the data 
items would be renumbered beginning with item 1.
FFIEC 101
    The proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A for advanced approaches 
banking organizations incorporates the Basel III common disclosure 
template that was adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision 
in June 2012 (Basel III common disclosure template).\3\ The proposed 
revised Schedule A incorporates the Basel III capital disclosure 
template in its entirety, with some minor changes to the titles of the 
line items, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules and 
accounting terminology of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 
(GAAP). Line items that are not applicable to U.S. banking 
organizations are shaded out and marked as not applicable (for example, 
prudential valuation adjustments in line item 7 and additional tier 1 
capital instruments classified as equity or liabilities under GAAP in 
line items 31 and 32). The agencies believe that incorporating the 
complete Basel III common disclosure template into Schedule A is 
essential to ensure transparency and comparability of reporting of 
regulatory capital elements among internationally active institutions. 
The proposed revised Schedule A also includes additional line items, 
such as the supplementary leverage ratio, to collect data on the new 
requirements established by the revised regulatory capital rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Composition of 
capital disclosure requirements; Annex 1; available at https://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs221.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To ensure transparency of reporting regulatory capital by 
internationally active institutions, the agencies propose to make 
public the information collected on the proposed revised Schedule A, 
except for a few specific line items, starting with the March 31, 2014, 
report date. The agencies propose to continue granting confidential 
treatment to certain items that are dependent on the implementation of 
the advanced approaches systems while an advanced approaches banking 
organization is in its parallel run period. The agencies believe that 
according confidential treatment to such line items is important to 
ensure that the organization conducts a satisfactory parallel run and 
reports this data publicly only after its primary federal supervisor 
approves its internal systems to apply the revised advanced approaches 
rules.
    The agencies also propose to revise the risk-weighted assets 
schedules of the FFIEC 101 (Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R) 
consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules at this time to 
facilitate the timely implementation of the revised advanced approaches 
rules in 2014.

B. Timing of Implementation of the Proposed Reporting Requirements

Call Report Filers
    Call Report filers that are not subject to the advanced approaches 
rules would continue to report their regulatory capital data and 
regulatory capital ratios using the current template of Schedule RC-R, 
which would be designated Part I.A, during the reporting periods in 
2014.\4\ These institutions would begin using proposed Schedule RC-R, 
Part I.B, to report their regulatory capital data and regulatory 
capital ratios effective March 31, 2015, at which time Part I.B would 
be relabeled Part I and Part I.A would be eliminated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For report dates in 2014, the regulatory capital components 
and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R would be presented as two parts. 
Part 1.A would be identical to the current regulatory capital 
components and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R and it would be used 
by Call Report filers that are not subject to the advanced 
approaches rules. Part I.B would be the proposed revised regulatory 
capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R and it would 
be used by Call Report filers that are subject to the advanced 
approaches rules. Starting on the March 31, 2015, report date, Part 
I.A would be eliminated and the proposed Part I.B of Schedule RC-R 
would be relabeled Part I, would be the only template for reporting 
regulatory capital data and regulatory capital ratios, and would be 
used by all Call Report filers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advanced Approaches Banking Organizations
    Reporting regulatory capital: An advanced approaches banking 
organization that is not a savings and loan holding company would use 
proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A and proposed Call Report Schedule 
RC-R, Part I.B, if applicable, to report its regulatory capital 
consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules, effective March 
31, 2014.\5\ An advanced approaches banking organization that is a 
savings and loan holding company (SLHC), except top-tier SLHCs that are 
substantially engaged in insurance and commercial activities, would 
file the FFIEC 101 effective March 31, 2015, consistent with the 
revised regulatory capital rules.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Advanced approaches banking organizations that file the FR 
Y-9C would report their regulatory capital on proposed revised FR Y-
9C Schedule HC-R, as described in the Federal Register notice 
published by the Board.
    \6\ The revised regulatory capital rules apply to top-tier SLHCs 
that are not substantially engaged in insurance or commercial 
activities (covered SLHCs) as defined in the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Reporting risk-weighted assets and regulatory capital ratios: An 
advanced approaches banking organization that is in a parallel run 
period would apply the generally applicable risk-based capital rules 
for report dates in 2014 \7\ and the standardized approach for report 
dates beginning in 2015 to report its risk-weighted assets and capital 
ratios on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line items 60 through 
63) and on proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B (in 2014, which 
would be designated Part I in 2015), if applicable (line items 40 
through 43, Column A). In addition, such an institution would apply the 
revised advanced approaches rules to report its risk-weighted assets 
and risk-based capital ratios on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A 
(line items 87 through 90).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The agencies' general risk-based capital rules are at 12 CFR 
part 3, appendix A, and 12 CFR part 167 (OCC); 12 CFR parts 208 and 
225, appendix A (Board); and 12 CFR part 325, appendix A, and 12 CFR 
part 390, subpart Z (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Beginning in 2014, an advanced approaches banking organization that 
conducts 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, if applicable 
(line item 40.b and line items 41 through 43, Column B).
    Supplementary leverage ratio and capital buffer: All advanced 
approaches banking organizations, regardless of their parallel run 
status, would report their supplementary leverage ratio effective March 
31, 2015, on proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line item 98) and 
on proposed revised Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I (as relabeled in 
2015), if applicable (line item 44). All banking organizations would 
report the applicable capital buffer effective March 31, 2016, on 
proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A (line items 64 through 68) and on 
proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I (as relabeled in 2015), if 
applicable (line items 45 through 47).
Initial Reporting
    For the March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2015, report dates, as 
applicable, institutions may provide reasonable estimates for any new 
or revised Call Report and FFIEC 101 items initially required to be 
reported as of that date

[[Page 48936]]

for which the requested information is not readily available. The 
specific wording of the captions for the new or revised Call Report and 
FFIEC 101 data items discussed in this proposal and the numbering of 
these data items should be regarded as preliminary.

II. Discussion of Proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B

    This section describes the proposed changes to Call Report Schedule 
RC-R to implement the reporting of regulatory capital information and 
ratios consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. As 
previously discussed, effective March 31, 2014: (1) the existing 
regulatory capital ratios portion of Schedule RC-R would be designated 
Part I.A and would be completed by institutions that are not advanced 
approaches institutions during the 2014 reporting periods, and (2) a 
new Part I.B would be added to Schedule RC-R effective March 31, 2014, 
and would be completed by advanced approaches institutions during the 
2014 reporting period. Then, effective March 31, 2015, Part I.A would 
be eliminated, Part I.B would be redesignated Part I of Schedule RC-R, 
and all institutions would complete Part I. Call Report filers should 
refer to the revised regulatory capital rules and the proposed 
reporting instructions for further information. The proposed reporting 
instructions also provide guidance on how to calculate and report items 
subject to the transition provisions under section 300 of the revised 
regulatory capital rules.
    Proposed Part I.B of Schedule RC-R would be divided into the 
following sections: (A) Common equity tier 1 capital; (B) common equity 
tier 1 capital: adjustments and deductions; (C) additional tier 1 
capital; (D) tier 2 capital; (E) total assets for the leverage ratio; 
(F) capital ratios; and (G) capital buffer. A brief description of each 
of these sections and the corresponding line items is provided below.

A. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 1-5: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

    Proposed line items 1 through 5 would collect information regarding 
the new regulatory capital component, common equity tier 1 capital. The 
proposed line items align with the elements of common equity tier 1 
capital under the revised definition of capital, including (item 1) 
common stock plus related surplus (net of treasury stock and unearned 
employee stock ownership plan shares), (item 2) retained earnings, 
(item 3) accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), and (item 4) 
common equity tier 1 minority interests.\8\ As explained in section 21 
of the revised regulatory capital rules, an institution may include a 
limited amount of common equity tier 1 minority interest in a 
consolidated subsidiary that is a depository institution or a foreign 
bank in its common equity tier 1 capital. Line item 5 collects the sum 
of items 1 through 4 to determine common equity tier 1 capital before 
adjustments and deductions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Under current GAAP, minority interests are referred to as 
noncontrolling interests. In this regard, on the Call Report balance 
sheet (Schedule RC), such interests are labeled ``Noncontrolling 
(minority) interests in consolidated subsidiaries.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For purposes of reporting line item 3, AOCI, an institution that is 
not subject to the advanced approaches rules may make a one-time 
election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of 
AOCI in common equity tier 1 capital (AOCI opt-out election). An 
institution that makes an AOCI opt-out election must report ``Yes'' in 
line item 3.a and report the amounts in line items 9.a, 9.b, 9.c, 9.d, 
and 9.e. An institution that is not an advanced approaches institution 
would make this election when it completes Schedule RC-R in its Call 
Report for March 31, 2015 (or, for an institution that becomes insured 
after March 31, 2015, in the first Call Report it files after becoming 
insured). If an institution makes an AOCI opt-out election, the 
transition provisions for AOCI under section 300 of the revised 
regulatory capital rules would not apply to the reporting of AOCI in 
line item 3.
    All advanced approaches banking organizations that file the Call 
Report and all other insured depository institutions that choose not to 
make the AOCI opt-out election must report ``No'' in line item 3.a and 
complete line item 9.f. In addition, such institutions must report AOCI 
in item 3 subject to the transition provisions, as described in section 
300 of the revised regulatory capital rules and the corresponding 
instructions.

B. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 6-19: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital: 
Adjustments and Deductions

    Proposed line items 6 through 18 reflect adjustments and deductions 
to common equity tier 1 capital, as described in section 22 of the 
revised regulatory capital rules. Institutions must refer to the 
revised regulatory capital rules to determine the conditions under 
which deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) may be netted against assets 
subject to deduction. An institution would calculate and report the 
following adjustments and deductions, as described below, which would 
be summed in line item 18 and deducted from common equity tier 1 
capital in line item 19.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 6: LESS: Goodwill net of associated 
DTLs: Goodwill is reported and deducted from common equity tier 1 
capital.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 7: LESS: Intangible assets (other 
than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)), net of associated 
DTLs: Intangible assets, other than goodwill and MSAs, net of 
associated DTLs, must be deducted from common equity tier 1 capital.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 8: LESS: Deferred tax assets (DTAs) 
that arise from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any 
related valuation allowances and net of associated DTLs: An institution 
must deduct DTAs that arise from operating loss and tax credit 
carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances and net of 
associated DTLs, from common equity tier 1 elements.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ DTAs arising from temporary differences that the banking 
organization could realize through net operating loss carrybacks are 
not subject to deduction and instead receive a 100 percent risk 
weight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 9: AOCI-related adjustments: An 
institution that makes an AOCI opt-out election in line item 3.a would 
adjust its common equity tier 1 capital by reporting the amount of 
specified AOCI components in line items 9.a, 9.b, 9.c, 9.d, and 9.e, 
that is, net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale (AFS) 
securities; net unrealized loss on AFS preferred stock classified as an 
equity security under GAAP and AFS equity exposures; accumulated net 
gains (losses) on cash flow hedges; amounts recorded in AOCI attributed 
to defined benefit postretirement plans resulting from the initial and 
subsequent application of the relevant GAAP standards that pertain to 
such plans; and net unrealized gains (losses) on held-to-maturity 
securities that are included in AOCI.
    An advanced approaches banking organization that files the Call 
Report and any other insured depository institution that chooses not to 
make the AOCI opt-out election would report in line item 9.f any 
accumulated net gain (loss) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI, net 
of applicable tax effects, that relate to the hedging of items that are 
not recognized at fair value on the balance sheet.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 10: LESS: Other deductions from 
(additions to) common equity tier 1 capital: Under the revised 
regulatory capital rules,

[[Page 48937]]

institutions must make the following deductions from or additions to 
common equity tier 1 capital.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 10.a: Unrealized net gain (loss) 
related to changes in the fair value of liabilities that are due to 
changes in own credit risk: An institution would report the amount of 
unrealized net gain (loss) related to changes in the fair value of 
liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet that are due to 
changes in its own credit risk. Advanced approaches banking 
organizations would include the credit spread premium over the risk-
free rate for derivatives that are liabilities.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 10.b: LESS: All other deductions from 
(additions to) common equity tier 1 capital before threshold-based 
deductions: An institution would report in line item 10.b the total of 
the following deductions and additions:
    (1) Gain-on-sale associated with a securitization exposure: An 
institution must deduct from common equity tier 1 capital any after-tax 
gain-on-sale associated with a securitization exposure. Gain-on-sale 
means an increase in the equity capital of the institution resulting 
from the consummation or issuance of a securitization (other than an 
increase in equity capital resulting from the institution's receipt of 
cash in connection with the securitization).
    (2) Defined benefit pension fund net assets net of associated DTLs: 
Defined benefit pension fund assets, net of any associated DTLs, must 
be deducted from common equity tier 1 capital. (This deduction does not 
pertain to defined benefit pension fund net assets owned by depository 
institutions.)
    (3) Investments in own regulatory capital instruments: To avoid 
double-counting of regulatory capital, an institution must deduct any 
investments in its own common equity tier 1, own additional tier 1, and 
own tier 2 capital instruments from its common equity tier 1, 
additional tier 1, and tier 2 capital elements, respectively. Any 
common equity tier 1, additional tier 1, or tier 2 capital instrument 
issued by the institution which the institution could be contractually 
obligated to purchase must be deducted from its common equity tier 1, 
additional tier 1, or tier 2 capital elements, respectively. If an 
institution already deducts its investment in its own shares (for 
example, treasury stock) from its common equity tier 1 capital 
elements, it does not need to make such deduction twice.
    (4) Reciprocal cross holdings in the capital instruments of 
financial institutions: A reciprocal cross holding results from a 
formal or informal arrangement between two financial institutions to 
swap, exchange, or otherwise intend to hold each other's capital 
instruments. Institutions must deduct reciprocal holdings of capital 
instruments of other financial institutions in certain circumstances. 
The deduction is made by using the corresponding deduction approach as 
described in section 22(c) of the revised regulatory capital rules. The 
corresponding deduction approach requires the institution to make the 
deduction from the tier of capital for which the instrument would 
qualify. However, if the institution does not have a sufficient amount 
of the tier of capital to effect the required deduction, the shortfall 
must be deducted from the next higher (that is, more subordinated) 
component of regulatory capital. For example, if an institution is 
required to deduct a certain amount of regulatory capital from 
additional tier 1 capital and it does not have sufficient additional 
tier 1 capital to effectuate the deduction, then the amount of the 
deduction in excess of the available additional tier 1 capital must be 
made from common equity tier 1 capital.
    (5) Equity investments in financial subsidiaries: An institution 
must deduct the aggregate amount of its outstanding equity investments, 
including retained earnings, in its financial subsidiaries \10\ from 
common equity tier 1 capital and may not consolidate the assets and 
liabilities of a financial subsidiary with those of the parent 
institution. No other deduction is required for these investments in 
the capital instruments of financial subsidiaries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The agencies' definitions of financial subsidiary are at 12 
CFR 5.39 (OCC); 12 CFR 208.77 (Board); and 12 CFR 362.17 (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (6) Advanced approaches banking organizations that file Call 
Report: After such an institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run, 
it would include expected credit losses that exceed its eligible credit 
reserves in this line item.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 11: LESS: Non-significant investments 
in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of 
common stock that exceed the 10 percent threshold for non-significant 
investments: Non-significant investments in the capital of 
unconsolidated financial institutions are investments where an 
institution owns 10 percent or less of the issued and outstanding 
common shares of an unconsolidated financial institution. An 
institution must deduct the amount of its non-significant investments 
that exceeds the 10 percent threshold for non-significant investments 
(calculated as described in section 22(c)(4) of the revised regulatory 
capital rules and in the reporting instructions for this line item), 
applying the corresponding deduction approach.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 12: Subtotal: An institution would 
report the amount in item 5 less the amounts in items 6 through 11. The 
amount reported in this item is used to calculate the common equity 
tier 1 capital deduction thresholds that are used for reporting items 
13, 14, 15, and 16.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 13 through 16: LESS: Items subject 
to the 10 and 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital threshold 
deductions: An institution must report the amount of each of the 
following items that individually exceeds the 10 percent common equity 
tier 1 capital deduction threshold (that is, 10 percent of the amount 
reported in line item 12). These items are referred to as items subject 
to the threshold deductions in section 22(d) of the revised regulatory 
capital rules and include: (1) DTAs arising from temporary differences 
that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks, net 
of any related valuation allowances and net of DTLs; (2) MSAs net of 
associated DTLs; and (3) significant investments in the capital of 
financial institutions in the form of common stock.
    The aggregate amount of the items subject to the threshold 
deductions (that are not deducted in line items 13, 14, and 15) are not 
permitted to exceed 15 percent of an institution's common equity tier 1 
capital. The aggregate amount in excess of the 15 percent threshold, if 
any, calculated in accordance with section 22(d)(2) of the revised 
regulatory capital rules and the corresponding line item instructions, 
must be deducted in line item 16.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 17: LESS: Deductions applied to 
common equity tier 1 capital due to insufficient amount of additional 
tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital to cover deductions: If an 
institution does not have a sufficient amount of additional tier 1 
capital and tier 2 capital to cover deductions, then the shortfall must 
be reported in this line item.
    Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 18 and 19: An institution would 
summarize total adjustments and deductions in line item 18 and deduct 
that amount from its common equity tier 1 capital before adjustments 
and deductions to determine its common equity tier 1 capital, which 
would be reported in line item 19.

[[Page 48938]]

C. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 20 through 25: Additional Tier 1 
Capital, and Item 26: Tier 1 Capital

    Proposed line items 20 through 25 pertain to the reporting of 
additional tier 1 capital elements. Additional tier 1 capital is the 
sum of: (item 20) additional tier 1 capital instruments that satisfy 
the eligibility criteria described in section 20 of the revised 
regulatory capital rules plus related surplus; (item 21) non-qualifying 
capital instruments subject to phase-out from additional tier 1 
capital; and (item 22) tier 1 minority interest that is not included in 
an institution's common equity tier 1 capital; less (item 24) 
applicable deductions.
    Line item 26 collects information on the institution's tier 1 
capital, calculated as the sum of (item 19) common equity tier 1 
capital and (item 25) additional tier 1 capital.

D. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 27 Through 34: Tier 2 Capital, and 
Item 35: Total Capital

    Proposed line items 27 through 34 would require reporting of tier 2 
capital elements. Tier 2 capital is the sum of: (item 27) tier 2 
capital instruments that satisfy the eligibility criteria described in 
section 20 of the revised regulatory capital rules, plus related 
surplus; (item 28) non-qualifying capital instruments subject to phase-
out from tier 2 capital; (item 29) total capital minority interest not 
included in an institution's tier 1 capital; (item 30.a) allowance for 
loan and lease losses (ALLL) includable in tier 2 capital; and (item 
31) unrealized gains on AFS preferred stock classified as an equity 
security under GAAP and AFS equity exposures; less (item 33) tier 2 
capital deductions.
    Advanced approaches banking organizations would report line items 
30.b (eligible credit reserves includable in tier 2 capital), 32.b 
(tier 2 capital before deductions), 34.b (tier 2 capital), and 35.b 
(total capital) only after these institutions conduct a satisfactory 
parallel run.
    Line item 35.a would collect information on an institution's total 
capital, which is the sum of (item 26) tier 1 capital and (item 34) 
tier 2 capital.

E. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 36 Through 39: Total Assets for the 
Leverage Ratio

    Institutions would report total assets for the leverage ratio 
denominator in line item 39, calculated as: (item 36) average total 
consolidated assets; less (item 37) deductions from common equity tier 
1 capital and additional tier 1 capital; and less (item 38) other 
deductions from (additions to) assets for leverage ratio purposes, as 
described under sections 22(a), (c), and (d) of the revised regulatory 
capital rules.

F. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 40 Through 45: Total Risk-Weighted 
Assets and Capital Ratios

    Line item 40 would collect information on an institution's risk-
weighted assets. Line items 41 through 45 would collect information on 
the following regulatory capital ratios: (item 41) common equity tier 1 
capital ratio; (item 42) tier 1 capital ratio; (item 43) total capital 
ratio; (item 44) tier 1 leverage ratio; and, for advanced approaches 
institutions, (item 45) supplementary leverage ratio, all calculated as 
described in section 10 of the revised regulatory capital rules.
    During the reporting periods in 2014, Call Report filers would 
continue applying the general risk-based capital rules to report their 
total risk-weighted assets in line item 40.a of Part I of Schedule RC-R 
(as currently reported in item 62 of the risk-weighted assets portion 
of Schedule RC-R). The amount in line item 40 would serve as the 
denominator of the risk-based capital ratios reported in line items 41 
through 44 (Column A). Effective March 31, 2015, Call Report filers 
would apply the standardized approach, described in subpart D of the 
revised regulatory capital rules, to report their risk-weighted assets 
in line item 40.a and the risk-based capital ratios in line items 41 
through 44 (Column A) of the regulatory capital ratios portion of 
Schedule RC-R.
    Advanced approaches institutions would report line items 40 through 
45 on the proposed Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, as follows.
     During the reporting periods in 2014, these institutions 
would continue applying the general risk-based capital rules to report 
their total risk-weighted assets in line item 40.a, which would serve 
as the denominator of the ratios reported in line items 41 through 44 
(Column A).
     Starting on March 31, 2015, these institutions would apply 
the standardized approach, described in subpart D of the revised 
regulatory capital rules, to report their risk-weighted assets in item 
40.a and the regulatory capital ratios in items 41 through 44. After 
they conduct a satisfactory parallel run, these institutions would 
report their total risk-weighted assets (item 40.b) and regulatory 
capital ratios (items 41 through 44, Column B) using the advanced 
approaches rule.
     In addition, starting on March 31, 2015, these 
institutions would report a supplementary leverage ratio in item 45, as 
described in section 10 of the revised regulatory capital rules.

G. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 46 Through 48: Capital Buffer

    Under section 11 of the revised regulatory capital rules, 
institutions must hold sufficient common equity tier 1 capital to avoid 
limitations on distributions and discretionary bonus payments. An 
institution's capital conservation buffer, which would be reported in 
item 46.a, is the lowest of the following measures: (1) The 
institution's common equity tier 1 capital ratio minus the applicable 
minimum (4 percent in 2014, 4.5 percent in 2015 and thereafter); (2) 
the institution's tier 1 capital ratio minus the applicable minimum 
(5.5 percent in 2014, 6 percent in 2015 and thereafter); and (3) the 
institution's total capital ratio minus 8 percent. Advanced approaches 
banking organizations must make additional calculations to account for 
all the applicable buffers and report the resulting amount in item 
46.b, as described in section 11 of the revised regulatory capital 
rules. If an institution's capital buffer is less than or equal to the 
applicable minimum capital conservation buffer (or, in the case of an 
advanced approaches institution, the applicable minimum capital 
conservation buffer plus any other applicable capital buffers), then it 
must report eligible retained income in item 47 and distributions and 
discretionary bonus payments to executive officers in item 48, as 
described in section 11 of the revised regulatory capital rules.

III. Discussion of the Proposed FFIEC 101 Changes

A. Schedule A: Advanced Risk-Based Capital

    As described in section I.A of this notice, the proposed revised 
FFIEC 101 Schedule A incorporates the Basel III common disclosure 
template to ensure consistency and comparability of reporting of 
regulatory capital elements by internationally active institutions. 
Although the changes proposed to be made to Schedule A of the FFIEC 101 
are consistent with the regulatory capital reporting approach followed 
in proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, as described in 
section II of this notice, advanced approaches banking organizations 
would provide a more granular breakdown of regulatory capital elements, 
deductions and adjustments, and regulatory capital instruments subject 
to phase-out in Schedule A, consistent with the Basel III common 
disclosure template. Advanced

[[Page 48939]]

approaches banking organizations would be able to continue to import 
the majority of the line items from proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, 
Part I.B, into proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Advanced approaches banking organizations that file the FR 
Y-9C rather than the Call Report would be able to import the 
majority of the line items from proposed revised Schedule HC-R 
published by the Federal Reserve Board into proposed revised FFIEC 
101 Schedule A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Reporting confidential line items during the parallel run period: 
As noted in section I.B of this notice, the agencies propose to make 
public the information collected on proposed revised Schedule A, except 
for a few specific line items, for all advanced approaches banking 
organizations, starting with the March 31, 2014, report date. Since the 
majority of the line items on the proposed Schedule A would also be 
publicly reported on the proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, the 
additional disclosure of regulatory capital elements on proposed 
revised Schedule A while the institution is conducting its parallel run 
would be minimal.
    The agencies propose to grant confidential treatment to items that 
are dependent on the implementation of the advanced approaches systems 
to ensure compliance with the revised advanced approaches rules. 
Specifically, while an institution is conducting its parallel run, the 
following line items on proposed revised Schedule A would be reported 
on a confidential basis using the revised advanced approaches rules: 
item 78 (total eligible credit reserves calculated under the advanced 
approaches rules); item 79 (amount of eligible credit reserves 
includable in tier 2 capital); item 86 (expected credit loss that 
exceeds eligible credit reserves); item 87 (advanced approaches risk-
weighted assets); item 88 (common equity tier 1 capital ratio 
calculated using the advanced approaches); item 89 (tier 1 capital 
ratio calculated using the advanced approaches); and item 90 (total 
capital ratio using the advanced approaches). In addition, an 
institution that is conducting its parallel run would report ``zero'' 
in line item 12 (expected credit loss that exceeds eligible credit 
reserves) and would report line item 50 (eligible credit reserves) and 
line item 60 (total risk-weighted assets) by applying the general risk-
based capital rules in 2014 and the standardized approach in 2015.
    After an institution conducts a satisfactory parallel run, the 
entire Schedule A would be made public. In addition, such an 
institution would then begin to report line item 12 (expected credit 
loss that exceeds eligible credit reserves), line item 50 (eligible 
credit reserves), and line item 60 (total risk-weighted assets) using 
the revised advanced approaches rules.
    Supplementary leverage ratio: Proposed line items 91 through 98 in 
the Schedule A would collect data on a new supplementary leverage ratio 
requirement for advanced approaches banking organizations, effective 
March 31, 2015. Consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules, 
an advanced approaches banking organization would report the 
supplementary leverage ratio calculated as the simple arithmetic mean 
of the three monthly leverage ratios over the reporting quarter.

B. Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R: Risk-Weighted Assets

    This section describes the proposed revisions to Schedules B, C, D, 
H, I, J, P, Q, and R of the FFIEC 101, which are intended to be 
consistent with the revised advanced approaches rules to calculate the 
risk-weighted assets. The proposed revisions reflect changes to the 
methodologies for calculating regulatory capital for counterparty 
credit risk, securitization exposures, and exposures to central 
counterparties (CCPs). In addition, the proposed changes incorporate 
capital requirements for credit valuation adjustments (CVA), wrong-way 
risk, margin risk, exposures subject to a wholesale correlation factor 
multiplier of 1.25, cleared derivative and repo-style transactions, and 
default fund contributions to CCPs.
    As is currently the case, FFIEC 101 Schedules B through S will be 
given confidential treatment while an institution is conducting its 
parallel run. Also, as is currently the case, after an institution 
conducts a satisfactory parallel run, Schedule B and line items 1 and 2 
of Schedule S will no longer be given confidential treatment.
    Schedules H and J: Credit valuation adjustments (CVAs): The 
proposed insertion of memorandum items in Schedule H (Wholesale 
Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans, Repo-Style Transactions, and OTC 
Derivatives with Cross-Product Netting) and Schedule J (Wholesale 
Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects the CVA 
requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivative activities. Under 
the revised regulatory capital rules, CVA is the fair value adjustment 
to reflect counterparty credit risk in the valuation of an OTC 
derivative contract. Advanced approaches banking organizations must 
hold capital to reflect the CVA due to changes in counterparties' 
credit spreads, assuming fixed expected exposure (EE) profiles. The 
advanced approaches rules provide two approaches for calculating the 
CVA capital requirement: the simple and advanced CVA approaches. The 
conditions for each approach, as well as the methods for calculation, 
are described in section 132 of the revised regulatory capital rules.
    Schedule P: Securitization exposures: The agencies propose to 
combine the current Schedule P (Securitization Exposures Subject to 
Ratings-based or Internal Assessment Approaches) and Schedule Q 
(Securitization Detail Schedule) into a new Schedule P (Securitization 
Exposures). This proposed revision reflects a number of changes to the 
securitization framework, including the replacement of the ratings-
based and internal assessment approaches from the advanced approaches 
rules with the simplified supervisory formula approach, and the 
introduction of a specific treatment for resecuritization exposures. 
The revised advanced approaches rules introduce enhanced due diligence 
requirements and require banking organizations to assign higher risk 
weights to resecuritization exposures than other securitization 
exposures with similar credit characteristics. The revised advanced 
approaches rules introduce new operational criteria for recognizing 
risk transfer as well as revisions to the hierarchy of approaches in 
the securitization framework. The operational criteria as well as the 
revised hierarchy of approaches are described in sections 141 through 
145 of the revised regulatory capital rules.
    Schedule Q: Cleared transactions: The proposed new Schedule Q 
(Cleared Transactions) reflects the treatment for cleared transactions 
and is intended to capture exposures to CCPs. The revised advanced 
approaches rules introduce a capital requirement for transactions with 
CCPs and a more risk-sensitive approach for determining the capital 
requirement for a banking organization's contributions to the default 
funds of these CCPs. The calculation of the trade exposure amount for a 
cleared transaction is described in section 133 of the revised 
regulatory capital rules.
    Schedules C, D, H, I, and J: Exposures subject to a 1.25 asset 
correlation factor: The proposed insertion of memorandum items in 
Schedule C (Wholesale Exposure: Corporate), Schedule D (Wholesale 
Exposure: Bank), Schedule H (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans, 
Repo-Style Transactions, and OTC Derivatives with Cross-Product 
Netting); Schedule I (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans and 
Repo-Style Transactions No Cross-Product Netting), and Schedule J

[[Page 48940]]

(Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects 
the new 1.25 asset correlation factor for certain unregulated financial 
institutions as well as regulated financial institutions with assets of 
at least $100 billion. The advanced approaches rules introduce the 1.25 
multiplier to capture the correlation of financial institutions' common 
risk factors. The formula for these wholesale exposures is described in 
section 131 of the revised regulatory capital rules.
    Schedules H, I, and J: Internal models methodology (IMM) margin 
period of risk and specific wrong-way risk: The proposed insertion of 
memorandum items in Schedule H (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin 
Loans, Repo-Style Transactions, and OTC Derivatives with Cross-Product 
Netting), Schedule I (Wholesale Exposure: Eligible Margin Loans and 
Repo-Style Transactions No Cross-Product Netting) and Schedule J 
(Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives No Cross-Product Netting) reflects 
the new capital requirements for the margin period of risk and wrong-
way risk in the advanced approaches. The revised advanced approaches 
rules introduce an increased margin period of risk of 20 days. In 
addition, for OTC derivative transactions, repo-style transactions, and 
margin loans that exhibit wrong-way risk, the advanced approaches rules 
require a banking organization to apply an increased capital 
requirement rather than the IMM to these exposures. The calculations 
and requirements associated with margin period of risk and wrong-way 
risk are described in section 132 of the revised regulatory capital 
rules.
    Schedules B and R: Summary table and equity exposures: The proposed 
revisions to Schedule B (Summary Risk-weighted Assets Information for 
Banks) reflect the proposed changes to the schedules described above in 
this section III.B. In addition, the revised advanced approaches rules 
remove the prior money market fund approach for equity exposures.
