‘‘Community Bank of ABC’’ (as
identified by the signage displayed on
the facility) where it accepts deposits.
XYZ Bank would report this trade name
(and any other trade names it uses at
other office locations where it accepts or
solicits deposits) in proposed item 8.c of
Schedule RC–M. XYZ Bank also has a
loan production office and a mortgage
lending subsidiary that operate under
the trade names of ‘‘XYZ Consumer
Loans’’ and ‘‘XYZ Mortgage Company,’’
respectively, neither of which accepts or
solicits deposits. Thus, neither of these
two trade names would be reported in
proposed item 8.c.
VII. Total Liabilities of an Institution’s
Parent Depository Institution Holding
Company That Is Not a Bank or Savings
and Loan Holding Company
In the February 2013 Federal Register
notice, the agencies proposed to collect
a new data item in Schedule RC–M
applicable only to institutions whose
parent depository institution holding
company is not a bank or savings and
loan holding company. In this proposed
data item, such an institution would
report the total consolidated liabilities
of its parent depository institution
holding company annually as of
December 31 to support the Board’s
administration of the financial sector
concentration limit established by
Section 622 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Two
banking organizations, one bankers’
association, and one life insurers’
association submitted comments on the
proposed reporting of holding company
total liabilities. After consideration of
the comments received, the agencies
have determined not to pursue
implementation of this proposed item at
this time.

ACTION: Notice of information collection
to be submitted to OMB for review and
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
AGENCIES:
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

valid Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. On August 12,
2013, the agencies, under the auspices
of the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC), requested
public comment for 60 days on
proposed revisions to the regulatory
capital components and ratios portion of
Schedule RC–R, Regulatory Capital, in

and Income (Call Report or FFIEC 031
and FFIEC 041) and to the Regulatory
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 reflective of the
revised regulatory capital rules issued
by the agencies in July 2013 (revised
regulatory capital rules).
After considering the comments
received on the proposed revisions, the
FFIEC and the agencies will proceed
with the proposed reporting revisions
with some modifications as described in
sections II and III of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below. The
proposed revisions to the FFIEC 101
and, if applicable, Call Report Schedule
RC–R would be effective March 31,
2014, for institutions subject to the
advanced approaches risk-based capital
rule (advanced approaches institutions)
that are not savings and loan holding
companies. Advanced approaches
institutions that are savings and loan
holding companies subject to the
revised regulatory capital rules would
begin reporting the revised FFIEC 101
effective March 31, 2015. All other
institutions that are required to file the
Call Report would begin reporting the
revised Call Report Schedule RC–R
effective March 31, 2015.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before February 13, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments to
any or all of the agencies. All comments,
which should refer to the OMB control

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 institutions): 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 reports submitted until the
first report date after the reporting
institution conducts a satisfactory
parallel run. For reports collected as of
that report date and thereafter,
Schedules A and B and line items 1 and
2 of Schedule S of the institution’s
FFIEC 101 are no longer given
confidential treatment. For the FFIEC
101 as it is proposed to be revised and
consistent with the implementation
timeline established by the revised
regulatory capital rules, the agencies
would make public the information
collected on the FFIEC 101 Schedule A,
except for a few advanced approachesspecific line items identified below, for
all advanced approaches institutions
regardless of their parallel run status
starting with the report for the March
31, 2014, report date. Specific line items
that would not be made public until
after the reporting institution completes
the parallel run process and receives
notification from its primary federal
supervisor pursuant to section 121(d) of
subpart E of the revised regulatory
capital rules would include the
information collected on the FFIEC 101,
Schedule B, except for column D of the
new items 31.a and 31.b, and line items
1 and 2 of Schedule S.

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 institution is required to file
quarterly regulatory capital data in the
FFIEC 101, the extent of which depends
on whether the institution has begun its
parallel run period under the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework. 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 both an
individual reporting-entity and an
industry-wide basis; and to supplement
on-site examination processes. The
reporting schedules also assist advanced
approaches institutions in
understanding expectations around the
system development necessary for
implementation and validation of the
Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework.
Current Actions
I. Summary of the Proposed Revisions
On August 12, 2013, the agencies
requested comment on proposed
revisions to the FFIEC 101 and the
regulatory capital components and
ratios portions of Call Report Schedule
RC–R to reflect the revised regulatory

capital rules 1 (the proposal).2 The
revisions would become effective for the
March 31, 2014 report date, for
advanced approaches institutions that
are not savings and loan holding
companies,3 and for the March 31, 2015
report date, for all other institutions that
are required to file Call Report Schedule
RC–R as well as advanced approaches
institutions that are savings and loan
holding companies subject to the
revised regulatory capital rules.4
The agencies collectively received
comments on the proposal from three
entities: two banking organizations and
one bankers’ association. The
commenters asked for clarification on
the applicability and effective dates of
the proposed reporting requirements
and for additional instructions on
1 The revised regulatory capital rules were
approved and issued by the agencies in July 2013.
The revised regulatory capital rules were published
in the Federal Register by the Board and the OCC
on October 11, 2013. See 78 FR 62018. The revised
regulatory capital interim final rule was published
in the Federal Register by the FDIC on September
10, 2013. See 78 FR 55340.
2 See 78 FR 48932.
3 An advanced approaches institution as defined
in section 100 of the agencies’ revised regulatory
capital rules (i) has consolidated total assets
(excluding assets held by an insurance
underwriting subsidiary) on its most recent yearend regulatory report equal to $250 billion or more;
(ii) has consolidated total on-balance sheet foreign
exposure on its most recent year-end regulatory
report equal to $10 billion or more (excluding
exposures held by an insurance underwriting
subsidiary), as calculated in accordance with the
FFIEC 009 Country Exposure Report; (iii) is a
subsidiary of a depository institution that uses the
advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12
CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part 217 (Board), or 12
CFR part 325 (FDIC) to calculate its total riskweighted 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 riskweighted assets. See 78 FR 62204 (OCC and Board);
78 FR 55523 (FDIC). Section III of this notice
discusses the filing requirements for the FFIEC 101
once an institution meets one or more of the
threshold criteria for purposes of the advanced
approaches rule or elects to use the advanced
approaches rule.
4 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 have decided to propose 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 will continue to report risk-weighted
assets in the portion of Schedule RC–R that
contains existing data items 34 through 62 and
Memorandum items 1 and 2 of current Schedule
RC–R, but this portion of the schedule will be
designated Part II and the data items will retain
their existing numbers.

addressed all substantive comments
received as described in detail in
sections II and III below.

II. Proposed Call Report Schedule RC–
R, Part I.B
Consistent with the proposal, in
March 2014, the existing and proposed
regulatory capital components and
ratios portion of Schedule RC–R would
be designated Parts I.A and I.B,
respectively. Call Report filers that are
not advanced approaches institutions
would file Part I.A, which includes
existing data items 1 through 33 of
current Schedule RC–R. Call Report
filers that are subject to the advanced
approaches and to the revised regulatory
capital rules effective January 1, 2014,
would be required to file Part I.B in
March 2014, which includes 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.
As proposed, Part I.B, Regulatory
Capital Components and Ratios, 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. The
agencies did not receive any comments
on the overall structure of the proposed
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B and thus will
proceed with the overall structure of
Part I.B, as proposed. The agencies will
make clarifications to certain line items
to reflect public comments, as discussed
below.
The agencies received several
questions regarding the reporting
treatment for items subject to transition
provisions in Schedule RC–R, Part I.B.
Specifically, commenters asked for
clarification on reporting transition
amounts of items subject to regulatory
capital adjustments and deductions and
reporting disallowed amounts during
the transition period. As described
below in section II.B of this notice,
transition amounts, as proposed, are to
5 In addition, one other commenter on the
proposal urged the agencies to revise the regulatory
capital treatment of the allowance for loan and lease
losses (ALLL) if the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) changes the accounting
standards applicable to ALLL. The agencies note
that this comment suggests a substantive change to
the revised regulatory capital rules and is outside
the scope of the proposed changes to the Call
Report and FFIEC 101.

be reported in the Schedule RC–R line
item applicable to the particular
regulatory capital adjustment or
deduction, while the otherwise
disallowed portion of each of these
items is either risk-weighted or
deducted from additional tier 1 capital,
depending on the item.
Commenters also asked the agencies
for clarification of the reporting of the
risk-weighted portion of an item subject
to deduction in Schedule RC–R. The
agencies are clarifying, and the
instructions for Part I.B of Schedule RC–
R will indicate, that the risk-weighted
portion of such items as proposed must
be reported in the line item appropriate
to the item subject to deduction in
Schedule RC–R, Part II, Risk-Weighted
Assets. In addition, the agencies are
clarifying that even though certain
deductions may be net of associated
deferred tax liabilities (DTLs), the riskweighted portion of those items may not
be reduced by the associated DTLs.
For example, for institutions subject
to the revised regulatory capital rules on
January 1, 2014, the appropriate line
item for reporting the risk-weighted
portion of mortgage servicing assets
(MSAs) that are not deducted from
common equity tier 1 capital, for report
dates in 2014, is Schedule RC–R, Part II,
item 42, ‘‘All other assets.’’ The riskweighted asset portion of MSAs may not
be reduced by any associated DTLs.
Also, the line items in Part II will be
renumbered in 2015 because, as
indicated in footnote 4 of this notice,
the agencies expect to propose revisions
to 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 agencies will update the Part
II line item references as appropriate in
the Schedule RC–R instructions for 2015
after the revisions to the risk-weighted
assets portion of the schedule are
finalized.
The agencies received several
questions related to the calculation of
the leverage ratio and the specific
deductions from the leverage ratio
denominator. One commenter asked the
agencies to confirm that all banking
organizations, including savings
associations, must use average total
assets from Call Report Schedule RC–K,
item 9, to calculate total assets for the
leverage ratio. The agencies are
confirming that average total assets from
Schedule RC–K, item 9, must be used to
calculate total assets for the leverage
ratio by advanced approaches
institutions beginning in March 2014
and by all other institutions, including
savings associations, beginning in

March 2015. The same commenter
asked the agencies to confirm the
deductions from common equity tier 1
capital and additional tier 1 capital that
must be made to calculate total assets
for the leverage ratio. The agencies are
specifying the deductions that must be
made to calculate total assets for the
leverage ratio, as described in section
II.E below.
One commenter asked the agencies to
confirm the effective dates for reporting
the capital conservation buffer and the
supplementary leverage ratio. The
agencies are confirming that the capital
conservation buffer (and any other
applicable buffer for advanced
approaches institutions) must be
reported for report dates after January 1,
2016. Advanced approaches institutions
must report the supplementary leverage
ratio for report dates after January 1,
2015 (see section III of this notice for
additional details on the reporting of
this line item by advanced approaches
institutions). The agencies are also
shading out the corresponding cells in
the draft reporting form for Schedule
RC–R, Part I.B, to show that institutions
should not report these items until they
become effective.
A brief description of the proposed
revisions and the comments received on
specific line items in Schedule RC–R,
Part I.B, are provided below.
A. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 1–5:
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
Under the proposal, line items 1
through 5 would collect information
regarding the new regulatory capital
component, common equity tier 1
capital. The agencies did not receive
any comments on these line items and
thus would retain the proposed line
items without modification.
B. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 6–19:
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
Adjustments and Deductions
Proposed line items 6 through 19
reflect adjustments and deductions to
common equity tier 1 capital, as
described in section 22 of the revised
regulatory capital rules. The agencies
received a number of questions on
reporting items subject to transition
provisions. Specifically, questions
related to items 7 through 10 asked
where the transition amounts of the
adjustments and deductions covered by
these specific items are to be reported.
The instructions for proposed Schedule
RC–R, Part I.B, explain that during the
transition period as proposed,
institutions must report the transition
amounts of these adjustments and
deductions, rather than their fully
phased-in amounts, in items 7 through
E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM
14JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
10. Institutions would not be required to
report fully phased-in amounts in items
7 through 10 until the transition period
ends.
For example, during the transition
period, an institution must report in
item 7 the appropriate transition
amount of intangible assets (other than
goodwill and mortgage servicing assets
(MSAs)), net of DTLs, as described in
the instructions for that line item. The
institution must also risk weight the
non-deducted portion of that item at 100
percent and report it in Schedule RC–
R, Part II, item 42, ‘‘All other assets.’’ As
another example, during the transition
period, an institution must report in
item 8 the appropriate transition
amount of deferred tax assets (DTAs)
that arise from net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards, net of any
related valuation allowances and net of
DTLs, calculated as a percentage of the
adjustment applied to common equity
tier 1 capital. The institution must then
report during the transition period the
remaining balance of DTAs that arise
from net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards, net of any related
valuation allowances and net of DTLs,
in Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 24,
‘‘Additional tier 1 capital deductions.’’
A commenter also asked about risk
weighting the non-deducted portion of
the threshold items (that is, significant
investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in
the form of common stock, net of
associated DTLs; MSAs, net of
associated DTLs; and DTAs arising from
temporary differences that could not be
realized through net operating loss
carrybacks, net of related valuation
allowances and net of DTLs). The
instructions for proposed Schedule RC–
R, Part I.B, explain that during the
transition period the non-deducted
portion of these threshold items must be
risk weighted at 100 percent in
accordance with section 300 of the
revised regulatory capital rules and
reported in Schedule RC–R, Part II, ‘‘All
other assets.’’ For report dates after
January 1, 2018, the non-deducted
portion of the threshold items must be
risk-weighted at 250 percent in
accordance with section 22 of the
revised regulatory capital rules and
reported in the appropriate asset
category in Schedule RC–R, Part II.
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 under section 20 of
the revised regulatory capital rules,
along with related adjustments for non-
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:32 Jan 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
qualifying capital instruments subject to
phase-out. The agencies did not receive
any comments on these line items and
thus would retain the proposed line
items without modification.
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
pertain to the reporting of tier 2 capital
elements under section 20 of the revised
regulatory capital rules, along with
related adjustments for non-qualifying
capital instruments subject to phase-out.
The agencies did not receive any
comments on these line items and thus
would retain the proposed line items
without modification.
E. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 36
Through 39: Total Assets for the
Leverage Ratio
Under the proposal, institutions
would report data for the calculation of
the leverage ratio in items 36 through
39. As noted above, the agencies
received two questions on the
calculation of the total assets for the
leverage ratio. First, a commenter asked
the agencies to confirm that all banking
organizations, including savings
associations, must use average total
assets from Call Report Schedule RC–K,
item 9, to calculate total assets for the
leverage ratio. The agencies are
confirming that average total assets from
Schedule RC–K, item 9, must be
reported in Schedule RC–R, Part I.B,
item 36, ‘‘Average total consolidated
assets,’’ by advanced approaches
institutions beginning in March 2014
and by all other institutions, including
savings associations, beginning in
March 2015.
Second, the same commenter asked
the agencies to confirm the deductions
from common equity tier 1 capital and
additional tier 1 capital that must be
made to calculate total assets for the
leverage ratio. Specifically, the
commenter asked whether the
deductions made in Schedule RC–R,
Part I.B, items 13 through 15, also must
be made for purposes of the leverage
ratio. The agencies are clarifying the
reporting instructions for proposed
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, items 37 and
38, to address the commenter’s
question. The agencies confirm that the
amounts deducted from common equity
tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital in
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, items 6, 7, 8,
10.b, 11, 13 through 17, and 24 must be
included in Schedule RC–R, Part I.B,
item 37. In addition, any other amounts
that are deducted from common equity
tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital, such
as deductions related to AOCI-
PO 00000
Frm 00125
Fmt 4703

2531
adjustments, must be included in
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, item 38.
F. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Item 40:
Total Risk-weighted Assets and Items 41
Through 45: Capital Ratios
Under the proposal, institutions
would report data for the calculation of
risk-weighted assets and capital ratios in
items 41 through 45. The agencies
received one question on this section of
the proposal. Specifically, a commenter
asked the agencies to confirm the
effective date of reporting the
supplementary leverage ratio in item 45.
The agencies are modifying the
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, reporting form
and the instructions for proposed item
45 to clarify that this item must be
reported for report dates after January 1,
2015.
Under the proposal, for report dates in
2014, Call Report filers that are
advanced approaches institutions would
continue applying the general risk-based
capital rules to calculate their total riskweighted assets, which will continue to
be reported in current item 62 of the
risk-weighted assets portion of Schedule
RC–R (to be designated Part II of the
schedule in March 2014). This total riskweighted assets amount would then also
be reported in item 40.a of Part I.B of
Schedule RC–R for report dates in 2014
and would serve as the denominator for
the risk-based capital ratios reported in
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, items 41
through 44, column A. Effective March
31, 2015, all Call Report filers would be
required to apply the standardized
approach, described in subpart D of the
revised regulatory capital rules, to
calculate and report their risk-weighted
assets in item 40.a and the risk-based
capital ratios in items 41 through 44,
column A, of the regulatory capital
components and ratios portion of
Schedule RC–R.
Advanced approaches institutions
would report items 40 through 45 on
proposed Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, as
follows.
• For report dates in 2014, these
institutions would continue applying
the general risk-based capital rules to
report their total risk-weighted assets in
item 40.a, which would serve as the
denominator of the ratios reported in
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 calculate and report
their risk-weighted assets in item 40.a
and the regulatory capital ratios in items
41 through 44, column A.
• After they conduct a satisfactory
parallel run, these institutions would
E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM
14JAN1
2532
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices
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.
The agencies did not receive any
comments on the proposed reporting of
the regulatory capital ratios by advanced
approaches institutions and thus would
retain this section of the proposal
without modification.
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
G. Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, Items 46
Through 48: Capital Buffer
Under the proposal, an institution’s
capital conservation buffer and related
information would be reported in items
46 through 48. The agencies received a
question asking to confirm the effective
date for reporting items 46 through 48.
The agencies are modifying the
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, reporting form
and the instructions for proposed items
46 through 48 to clarify that these items
become effective for report dates after
January 1, 2016. Until March 31, 2016,
the corresponding cells in the draft
reporting form for Schedule RC–R, Part
I.B, would be shaded out.
III. Discussion of the Proposed FFIEC
101 Changes
The proposed revisions to the FFIEC
101 Schedule A would incorporate the
Basel III capital disclosure template in
its entirety, with some minor changes to
the titles of the template’s line items,
consistent with the revised regulatory
capital rules and the accounting
terminology of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). To
ensure transparency of reporting
regulatory capital by all advanced
approaches institutions, the agencies
would, consistent with the proposal,
make public the information collected
on the proposed revised Schedule A,
except for a few specific line items
identified below, starting with the
March 31, 2014, report date, regardless
of an advanced approaches institution’s
parallel run status. The agencies also
proposed to continue granting
confidential treatment to certain items
that are dependent on the
implementation of the advanced
approaches systems before an advanced
approaches institution completes its
parallel run period.
The agencies collectively received
comments on the FFIEC 101 from one
entity, a bankers’ association. This
commenter asked the agencies to clarify
when an institution is required to file
the FFIEC 101 report if the institution
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:32 Jan 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
has triggered the criteria for applying
the advanced approaches rule but has
not yet begun its parallel run period.
The agencies are clarifying that an
institution would begin completing
FFIEC 101 Schedule A at the end of the
quarter after the quarter in which the
institution triggers one of the threshold
criteria for applying the advanced
approaches rule or elects to use the
advanced approaches rule.6 However,
the institution would not be required to
report those Schedule A items that
depend on the implementation of the
advanced approaches rules (specifically,
items 12, 50, 61 through 68, 78 through
79, and 86 through 90) and all the other
schedules of the FFIEC 101 until the
end of the first quarter in which the
institution has begun its parallel run
period.
The same commenter asked how an
advanced approaches institution that
has not completed its parallel run
period should report its supplementary
leverage ratio in Call Report Schedule
RC–R and in FFIEC 101 Schedule A,
since such an advanced approaches
institution has a longer time period in
which to submit the FFIEC 101 than the
time period for submitting the Call
Report. The agencies note that the
calculation of the supplementary
leverage ratio does not depend on the
advanced approaches systems and thus
this ratio can be calculated for purposes
of the Call Report independent of an
institution’s preparation and submission
of the FFIEC 101 report. Accordingly,
consistent with the proposal, an
advanced approaches institution that
has not completed its parallel run
would report the supplementary
leverage ratio in Call Report Schedule
RC–R and then it would report the
details of its calculation of the
supplementary leverage ratio on FFIEC
101 Schedule A by this report’s later
submission deadline. Similar to current
reporting practices, if an institution
calculates its FFIEC 101 data and
discovers that the supplementary
leverage ratio reported on its Call Report
is not correct, the institution should
submit an amended Call Report with the
corrected information.
6 An institution is deemed to have elected to use
the advanced approaches rule on the date that its
primary federal supervisor receives from the
institution a board-approved implementation plan
pursuant to section 121(b)(2) of the revised
regulatory capital rules. After that date, in addition
to being required to report on the FFIEC 101,
Schedule A, the institution may no longer apply the
AOCI opt-out election in section 22(b)(2) of the
revised regulatory capital rules and it becomes
subject to the supplementary leverage ratio in
section 10(c)(4) of the revised regulatory capital
rules and its associated transition provisions.

Frm 00126

Sfmt 4703
The commenter also asked for
clarification of a limited number of line
item instructions in Schedules A, B, H
through O, and Q. The agencies are
clarifying the instructions for these line
items to the extent considered
appropriate by revising and expanding
specific instructions.
The agencies also note that the FFIEC
101 report title would be modified from
‘‘Risk-Based Capital Reporting for
Institutions Subject to the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework’’ to
‘‘Regulatory Capital Reporting for
Institutions Subject to the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework.’’ In
addition, the agencies are modifying the
name of Schedule A from ‘‘Schedule A–
Advanced Risk-based Capital’’ to
‘‘Schedule A–Advanced Approaches
Regulatory Capital.’’ These
modifications are consistent with the
proposed revisions to the FFIEC 101,
which entail the collection of data on
regulatory capital and not just riskbased capital.
A. Schedule A: Advanced Approaches
Regulatory Capital
Under the proposal, revised FFIEC
101 Schedule A incorporates the Basel
III common disclosure template to
ensure consistency and comparability of
reporting of regulatory capital elements
by advanced approaches institutions.
Although the proposed revisions to
Schedule A of the FFIEC 101 are
consistent with the regulatory capital
reporting approach followed in Call
Report Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, as
described in section II of this notice,
Schedule A provides a more granular
breakdown of regulatory capital
elements, deductions and adjustments,
and regulatory capital instruments
subject to phase-out, consistent with the
Basel III common disclosure template.
The agencies received a number of
questions on the reporting treatment for
items subject to transition provisions, as
described in section II.B of this notice.
The agencies have clarified the
reporting instructions for the applicable
proposed line items in Schedule RC–R,
Part I.B. The instructions for the
corresponding line items in proposed
revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A refer
institutions to the Schedule RC–R, Part
I.B, instructions. Since advanced
approaches institutions would be able to
continue to import the amounts to be
reported in the majority of the line items
in proposed revised FFIEC 101
Schedule A from proposed Call Report
Schedule RC–R, Part I.B, the agencies do
not believe it is necessary to modify the

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices
instructions for the same line items of
FFIEC 101 Schedule A.7
Reporting confidential line items
before completing the parallel run
period: Under the proposal, the agencies
would make public the information
collected on proposed revised Schedule
A, except for a few specific line items
identified below, for all advanced
approaches institutions, starting with
the March 31, 2014, report date. The
agencies proposed to grant confidential
treatment to the following Schedule A
items for report dates before an
institution has completed its parallel
run period: Item 78 (total eligible credit
reserves calculated using advanced
approaches); 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 riskweighted assets); item 88 (common
equity tier 1 capital ratio calculated
using advanced approaches); item 89
(tier 1 capital ratio calculated using
advanced approaches); and item 90
(total capital ratio calculated using
advanced approaches). In addition, the
agencies proposed that, before the
completion of its parallel run period, an
institution would report ‘‘zero’’ in line
item 12 (expected credit loss that
exceeds eligible credit reserves) and
would complete line item 50 (eligible
credit reserves includable in tier 2
capital) and line item 60 (total riskweighted assets) by applying the general
risk-based capital rules in 2014 and the
standardized approach in 2015. Under
the proposal, for the report dates after
an institution conducts a satisfactory
parallel run, the entire Schedule A
would be made public.
The agencies did not receive any
comments on making public the
information collected on proposed
revised Schedule A, as described above,
and thus retain the proposed approach
without modification.
Supplementary leverage ratio:
Proposed line items 91 through 98 in
Schedule A would collect data on a new
supplementary leverage ratio
requirement for advanced approaches
institutions, effective March 31, 2015.
As described in section II.F of this
notice, a commenter asked the agencies
to confirm the effective date for
reporting the supplementary leverage
ratio. The agencies have modified the
proposed reporting form and the
instructions for items 91 through 98 of
7 Advanced approaches institutions that file the
FR Y–9C rather than the Call Report would be able
to import the amounts to be reported in the majority
of the line items in proposed revised FFIEC 101
Schedule A from the Federal Reserve’s proposed
revised Schedule HC–R.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Schedule A to clarify that these items
must be reported for report dates after
January 1, 2015. Until such time, the
corresponding cells in the reporting
form for Schedule A would be shaded
out.
B. Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, R, and
S: Risk-weighted Assets
The proposal described proposed
revisions to several of the risk-weighted
assets schedules in the FFIEC 101,
which are intended to be consistent
with the revised advanced approaches
rules to calculate risk-weighted assets.
The proposal would revise Schedules B,
C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, and R as follows:
• Under Schedule B (summary table),
the agencies proposed new line items to
reflect the proposed changes in
schedules C through R.
• Under Schedules H and J, the
agencies proposed new line items to
capture Credit Valuation Adjustment
(CVA) amounts.
• Under Schedule P, the agencies
proposed an updated securitization
table.
• Under Schedule Q, the agencies
proposed a new table to reflect cleared
transactions.
• Under Schedules C, D, H, I, and J,
the agencies proposed to collect data on
exposures subject to a 1.25 asset
correlation factor.
• Under Schedules H, I, and J, the
agencies proposed data collections
related to the internal models
methodology (IMM), margin period of
risk, and specific wrong-way risk.
• Under Schedule R, the agencies
proposed removing items pertaining to
an equity exposure treatment no longer
permitted under the revised advanced
approaches rule.
The agencies received comments from
one commenter on the proposed
revisions to these schedules. The
following highlights only those areas of
the proposed revisions for which the
agencies received comments.
1.06 Scaling Multiplier and ‘‘Assets Not
Included in a Defined Exposure
Category’’ in Schedule B
The agencies did not propose to revise
the FFIEC 101 regarding the 1.06 scaling
multiplier in existing line item 28 of
Schedule B, which was proposed to be
renumbered as line item 30, ‘‘Total
credit risk weighted assets (Cell G–29 ×
1.06).’’ The commenter asked whether
the 1.06 multiplier should be applied to
all credit risk exposures, including
‘‘Assets Not Included in a Defined
Exposure Category,’’ non-material
portfolios, mortgage servicing rights,
DTAs, and securitization exposures
subject to a 1,250 percent risk weight.
PO 00000
Frm 00127
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2533
The agencies reviewed the comment
and determined that no change to
renumbered line item 30 is necessary.
Renumbered line item 27 in proposed
revised Schedule B, ‘‘Assets Not
Included in a Defined Exposure
Category,’’ has always been subject to
the 1.06 scaling multiplier. In addition,
consistent with the revised regulatory
capital rules, wholesale, retail,
securitization, and equity exposures are
all subject to the 1.06 multiplier. The
CVA capital requirement is explicitly
singled out in the revised regulatory
capital rules as not being subject to the
1.06 multiplier. Therefore, all exposures
except for the CVA charge are subject to
the 1.06 scaling multiplier, as proposed
for Schedule B. The agencies also are
clarifying in the Schedule B instructions
that exposures representing items in
process of collection that are assigned a
risk weight of 20 percent should be
reported in line item 27, ‘‘Assets Not
Included in a Defined Exposure
Category.’’
CVAs and Weighted Average Maturity
Calculation in Schedules B, H, and J
The agencies proposed to insert
memoranda 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 CrossProduct Netting) to reflect the new CVA
requirements for over-the-counter (OTC)
derivative activities under the revised
regulatory capital rules.
The commenter observed that the
CVA requirement is a portfolio
calculation and would therefore
encompass transactions with and
without cross-product netting. The
commenter sought clarification on
where institutions should report the
CVA exposure and risk-weighted asset
amounts since each institution would
only be reporting the CVA information
on a single line item (rather than the
two proposed line items in Schedules H
and J). In addition, the commenter
requested clarification on the
calculation of weighted average
maturity.
In response to this comment, the
agencies have decided to remove the
CVA memoranda items from Schedules
H and J and instead collect this
information in Schedule B. The agencies
believe this is the appropriate location
for reporting CVA information because
Schedules H and J would otherwise
needlessly require reporting institutions
to distinguish between derivative
transactions with and without crossproduct netting for purposes of
allocating CVAs measured at the
E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM
14JAN1
2534
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
portfolio level to subsets of the
portfolio. Therefore, the agencies have
agreed to insert the following line items
in Schedule B: Line item 31.a, ‘‘Credit
valuation adjustment—simple
approach,’’ and line item 31.b: ‘‘Credit
valuation adjustment—advanced
approach.’’ For the relevant Schedule B
line item (either 31.a or 31.b), the
reporting institutions would be required
to report the amounts for risk-weighted
assets and the exposure at default of
exposures used to calculate CVA. The
exposure at default information
pertaining to CVA would remain
confidential, even after an institution
completes its parallel run period. These
line items would replace proposed
Schedule B line item 31, ‘‘Total CVA
RWA for OTC derivative transactions.’’
In addition, if institutions apply a
maturity floor, the general instructions
for Schedule B clarify that reporting
institutions should be consistent in the
methodology they employ for
calculating the weighted average
maturity amount.
Holding Period or Margin Period of Risk
in Schedules H, I, and J
The agencies proposed to insert
memoranda 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 CrossProduct Netting), and Schedule J
(Wholesale Exposure: OTC Derivatives
No Cross-Product Netting) to reflect the
new capital requirements for the margin
period of risk and wrong-way risk in the
advanced approaches. 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.
The commenter asked how to report
securities that have a ‘‘holding period or
margin period of risk set for 20 days,’’
but also meet the criteria for ‘‘holding
period or margin period of risk set for
at least twice the minimum holding
period that would otherwise be used
(due to at least 3 disputes).’’ The
agencies have agreed to clarify in the
instructions that transactions meeting
both criteria should be reported in one
location under column C, ‘‘Holding
period or margin period of risk set for
at least twice the minimum holding
period that would otherwise be used
(due to at least 3 disputes).’’
Reporting the Credit Scoring System in
Schedules K Through O
In their draft of the proposed revised
FFIEC 101 reporting form, the agencies
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:32 Jan 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
inadvertently removed the text field
from existing item 18, which the
agencies proposed to renumber as
memorandum item 2, ‘‘Credit scores
shown in Column O are from which
credit scoring system(s)?’’ The agencies
have agreed to correct this design error
by restoring the text field, consistent
with the public comment.
Whether Exposure Amounts Are
Inclusive of Initial Margin in Schedule
Q
The agencies proposed a new
Schedule Q (Cleared Transactions) to
capture exposures to central clearing
parties (CCPs), consistent with section
133 of the revised regulatory capital
rules. The commenter sought
clarification on whether proposed line
items 3 and 4 were inclusive of initial
margin. The agencies have agreed to
clarify the instructions, including a
reference to the definition of a trade
exposure under the capital rules, which
explains that the line item values in
question should be inclusive of initial
margin.
250 Percent Risk Weight Category for
Significant Investments in
Unconsolidated Financial Institutions in
Schedule R
The commenter highlighted that the
proposed revisions to Schedule R
(Equity Exposures) did not include a
new field for equity exposures receiving
a 250 percent risk weight that are
significant investments in
unconsolidated financial institutions
that fall below the 10 and 15 percent
deduction thresholds. Accordingly, the
agencies have agreed to insert a field for
this risk weight category as line item 7
in Schedule R. (Thus, line items 7
through 13 in the initial draft of
proposed revised Schedule R would be
renumbered as line items 8 through 14.)
Schedule S: Operational Risk
The agencies originally did not
propose to revise Schedule S:
Operational Risk. However, consistent
with prior feedback received from
reporting institutions, the agencies are
proposing to clarify the existing
instructions for several line items in
Schedule S. The agencies believe these
changes do not result in the collection
of any new data, nor do they impact
where institutions report operational
risk data in Schedule S. Clarifications
have been made to the instructions for
the following Schedule S line items:
• Line Item 3, ‘‘Expected Operational
Loss (EOL)’’;
• Line item 5, ‘‘Dependence

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Joint Comment Request
AGENCIES: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Treasury;
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); and Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Notice of information collection to be submitted to OMB for
review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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. On August 12, 2013, the agencies, under the auspices of
the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC),
requested public comment for 60 days on proposed revisions to the
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 Regulatory 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 reflective of the revised regulatory capital rules
issued by the agencies in July 2013 (revised regulatory capital rules).
After considering the comments received on the proposed revisions,
the FFIEC and the agencies will proceed with the proposed reporting
revisions with some modifications as described in sections II and III
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. The proposed revisions
to the FFIEC 101 and, if applicable, Call Report Schedule RC-R would be
effective March 31, 2014, for institutions subject to the advanced
approaches risk-based capital rule (advanced approaches institutions)
that are not savings and loan holding companies. Advanced approaches
institutions that are savings and loan holding companies subject to the
revised regulatory capital rules would begin reporting the revised
FFIEC 101 effective March 31, 2015. All other institutions that are
required to file the Call Report would begin reporting the revised Call
Report Schedule RC-R effective March 31, 2015.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 13, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to
any or all of the agencies. All comments, which should refer to the OMB
control number(s), will be shared among the agencies.

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 institutions): 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 reports submitted
until the first report date after the reporting institution conducts a
satisfactory parallel run. For reports collected as of that report date
and thereafter, Schedules A and B and line items 1 and 2 of Schedule S
of the institution's FFIEC 101 are no longer given confidential
treatment. For the FFIEC 101 as it is proposed to be revised and
consistent with the implementation timeline established by the revised
regulatory capital rules, the agencies would make public the
information collected on the FFIEC 101 Schedule A, except for a few
advanced approaches-specific line items identified below, for all
advanced approaches institutions regardless of their parallel run
status starting with the report for the March 31, 2014, report date.
Specific line items that would not be made public until after the
reporting institution completes the parallel run process and receives
notification from its primary federal supervisor pursuant to section
121(d) of subpart E of the revised regulatory capital rules would
include the information collected on the FFIEC 101, Schedule B, except
for column D of the new items 31.a and 31.b, and line items 1 and 2 of
Schedule S.
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 institution is required to file
quarterly regulatory capital data in the FFIEC 101, the extent of which
depends on whether the institution has begun its parallel run period
under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework. 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 both an individual reporting-entity and
an industry-wide basis; and to supplement on-site examination
processes. The reporting schedules also assist advanced approaches
institutions in understanding expectations around the system
development necessary for implementation and validation of the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework.
Current Actions
I. Summary of the Proposed Revisions
On August 12, 2013, the agencies requested comment on proposed
revisions to the FFIEC 101 and the regulatory capital components and
ratios portions of Call Report Schedule RC-R to reflect the revised
regulatory capital rules \1\ (the proposal).\2\ The revisions would
become effective for the March 31, 2014 report date, for advanced
approaches institutions that are not savings and loan holding
companies,\3\ and for the March 31, 2015 report date, for all other
institutions that are required to file Call Report Schedule RC-R as
well as advanced approaches institutions that are savings and loan
holding companies subject to the revised regulatory capital rules.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The revised regulatory capital rules were approved and
issued by the agencies in July 2013. The revised regulatory capital
rules were published in the Federal Register by the Board and the
OCC on October 11, 2013. See 78 FR 62018. The revised regulatory
capital interim final rule was published in the Federal Register by
the FDIC on September 10, 2013. See 78 FR 55340.
\2\ See 78 FR 48932.
\3\ An advanced approaches institution as defined in section 100
of the agencies' revised regulatory capital rules (i) has
consolidated total assets (excluding assets held by an insurance
underwriting subsidiary) on its most recent year-end regulatory
report equal to $250 billion or more; (ii) has consolidated total
on-balance sheet foreign exposure on its most recent year-end
regulatory report equal to $10 billion or more (excluding exposures
held by an insurance underwriting subsidiary), as calculated in
accordance with the FFIEC 009 Country Exposure Report; (iii) is a
subsidiary of a depository institution that uses the advanced
approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part
217 (Board), or 12 CFR part 325 (FDIC) to calculate its total risk-
weighted assets; (iv) is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or
savings and loan holding company that uses the advanced approaches
pursuant to 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its total risk-weighted
assets; or (v) elects to use the advanced approaches to calculate
its total risk-weighted assets. See 78 FR 62204 (OCC and Board); 78
FR 55523 (FDIC). Section III of this notice discusses the filing
requirements for the FFIEC 101 once an institution meets one or more
of the threshold criteria for purposes of the advanced approaches
rule or elects to use the advanced approaches rule.
\4\ 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 have decided to propose 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 will
continue to report risk-weighted assets in the portion of Schedule
RC-R that contains existing data items 34 through 62 and Memorandum
items 1 and 2 of current Schedule RC-R, but this portion of the
schedule will be designated Part II and the data items will retain
their existing numbers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The agencies collectively received comments on the proposal from
three entities: two banking organizations and one bankers' association.
The commenters asked for clarification on the applicability and
effective dates of the proposed reporting requirements and for
additional instructions on
[[Page 2530]]
certain line items.\5\ The agencies have addressed all substantive
comments received as described in detail in sections II and III below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In addition, one other commenter on the proposal urged the
agencies to revise the regulatory capital treatment of the allowance
for loan and lease losses (ALLL) if the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) changes the accounting standards applicable
to ALLL. The agencies note that this comment suggests a substantive
change to the revised regulatory capital rules and is outside the
scope of the proposed changes to the Call Report and FFIEC 101.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B
Consistent with the proposal, in March 2014, the existing and
proposed regulatory capital components and ratios portion of Schedule
RC-R would be designated Parts I.A and I.B, respectively. Call Report
filers that are not advanced approaches institutions would file Part
I.A, which includes existing data items 1 through 33 of current
Schedule RC-R. Call Report filers that are subject to the advanced
approaches and to the revised regulatory capital rules effective
January 1, 2014, would be required to file Part I.B in March 2014,
which includes 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.
As proposed, Part I.B, Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios,
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. The agencies did not receive any comments on the
overall structure of the proposed Schedule RC-R, Part I.B and thus will
proceed with the overall structure of Part I.B, as proposed. The
agencies will make clarifications to certain line items to reflect
public comments, as discussed below.
The agencies received several questions regarding the reporting
treatment for items subject to transition provisions in Schedule RC-R,
Part I.B. Specifically, commenters asked for clarification on reporting
transition amounts of items subject to regulatory capital adjustments
and deductions and reporting disallowed amounts during the transition
period. As described below in section II.B of this notice, transition
amounts, as proposed, are to be reported in the Schedule RC-R line item
applicable to the particular regulatory capital adjustment or
deduction, while the otherwise disallowed portion of each of these
items is either risk-weighted or deducted from additional tier 1
capital, depending on the item.
Commenters also asked the agencies for clarification of the
reporting of the risk-weighted portion of an item subject to deduction
in Schedule RC-R. The agencies are clarifying, and the instructions for
Part I.B of Schedule RC-R will indicate, that the risk-weighted portion
of such items as proposed must be reported in the line item appropriate
to the item subject to deduction in Schedule RC-R, Part II, Risk-
Weighted Assets. In addition, the agencies are clarifying that even
though certain deductions may be net of associated deferred tax
liabilities (DTLs), the risk-weighted portion of those items may not be
reduced by the associated DTLs.
For example, for institutions subject to the revised regulatory
capital rules on January 1, 2014, the appropriate line item for
reporting the risk-weighted portion of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)
that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital, for report
dates in 2014, is Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 42, ``All other
assets.'' The risk-weighted asset portion of MSAs may not be reduced by
any associated DTLs. Also, the line items in Part II will be renumbered
in 2015 because, as indicated in footnote 4 of this notice, the
agencies expect to propose revisions to 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 agencies will update the Part II line
item references as appropriate in the Schedule RC-R instructions for
2015 after the revisions to the risk-weighted assets portion of the
schedule are finalized.
The agencies received several questions related to the calculation
of the leverage ratio and the specific deductions from the leverage
ratio denominator. One commenter asked the agencies to confirm that all
banking organizations, including savings associations, must use average
total assets from Call Report Schedule RC-K, item 9, to calculate total
assets for the leverage ratio. The agencies are confirming that average
total assets from Schedule RC-K, item 9, must be used to calculate
total assets for the leverage ratio by advanced approaches institutions
beginning in March 2014 and by all other institutions, including
savings associations, beginning in March 2015. The same commenter asked
the agencies to confirm the deductions from common equity tier 1
capital and additional tier 1 capital that must be made to calculate
total assets for the leverage ratio. The agencies are specifying the
deductions that must be made to calculate total assets for the leverage
ratio, as described in section II.E below.
One commenter asked the agencies to confirm the effective dates for
reporting the capital conservation buffer and the supplementary
leverage ratio. The agencies are confirming that the capital
conservation buffer (and any other applicable buffer for advanced
approaches institutions) must be reported for report dates after
January 1, 2016. Advanced approaches institutions must report the
supplementary leverage ratio for report dates after January 1, 2015
(see section III of this notice for additional details on the reporting
of this line item by advanced approaches institutions). The agencies
are also shading out the corresponding cells in the draft reporting
form for Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, to show that institutions should not
report these items until they become effective.
A brief description of the proposed revisions and the comments
received on specific line items in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, are
provided below.
A. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 1-5: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
Under the proposal, line items 1 through 5 would collect
information regarding the new regulatory capital component, common
equity tier 1 capital. The agencies did not receive any comments on
these line items and thus would retain the proposed line items without
modification.
B. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 6-19: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
Adjustments and Deductions
Proposed line items 6 through 19 reflect adjustments and deductions
to common equity tier 1 capital, as described in section 22 of the
revised regulatory capital rules. The agencies received a number of
questions on reporting items subject to transition provisions.
Specifically, questions related to items 7 through 10 asked where the
transition amounts of the adjustments and deductions covered by these
specific items are to be reported. The instructions for proposed
Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, explain that during the transition period as
proposed, institutions must report the transition amounts of these
adjustments and deductions, rather than their fully phased-in amounts,
in items 7 through
[[Page 2531]]
10. Institutions would not be required to report fully phased-in
amounts in items 7 through 10 until the transition period ends.
For example, during the transition period, an institution must
report in item 7 the appropriate transition amount of intangible assets
(other than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)), net of
DTLs, as described in the instructions for that line item. The
institution must also risk weight the non-deducted portion of that item
at 100 percent and report it in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 42, ``All
other assets.'' As another example, during the transition period, an
institution must report in item 8 the appropriate transition amount of
deferred tax assets (DTAs) that arise from net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances and net
of DTLs, calculated as a percentage of the adjustment applied to common
equity tier 1 capital. The institution must then report during the
transition period the remaining balance of DTAs that arise from net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any related
valuation allowances and net of DTLs, in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item
24, ``Additional tier 1 capital deductions.''
A commenter also asked about risk weighting the non-deducted
portion of the threshold items (that is, significant investments in the
capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common
stock, net of associated DTLs; MSAs, net of associated DTLs; and DTAs
arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through
net operating loss carrybacks, net of related valuation allowances and
net of DTLs). The instructions for proposed Schedule RC-R, Part I.B,
explain that during the transition period the non-deducted portion of
these threshold items must be risk weighted at 100 percent in
accordance with section 300 of the revised regulatory capital rules and
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, ``All other assets.'' For report
dates after January 1, 2018, the non-deducted portion of the threshold
items must be risk-weighted at 250 percent in accordance with section
22 of the revised regulatory capital rules and reported in the
appropriate asset category in Schedule RC-R, Part II.
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 under section 20 of the revised
regulatory capital rules, along with related adjustments for non-
qualifying capital instruments subject to phase-out. The agencies did
not receive any comments on these line items and thus would retain the
proposed line items without modification.
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 pertain to the reporting of tier
2 capital elements under section 20 of the revised regulatory capital
rules, along with related adjustments for non-qualifying capital
instruments subject to phase-out. The agencies did not receive any
comments on these line items and thus would retain the proposed line
items without modification.
E. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 36 Through 39: Total Assets for the
Leverage Ratio
Under the proposal, institutions would report data for the
calculation of the leverage ratio in items 36 through 39. As noted
above, the agencies received two questions on the calculation of the
total assets for the leverage ratio. First, a commenter asked the
agencies to confirm that all banking organizations, including savings
associations, must use average total assets from Call Report Schedule
RC-K, item 9, to calculate total assets for the leverage ratio. The
agencies are confirming that average total assets from Schedule RC-K,
item 9, must be reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 36, ``Average
total consolidated assets,'' by advanced approaches institutions
beginning in March 2014 and by all other institutions, including
savings associations, beginning in March 2015.
Second, the same commenter asked the agencies to confirm the
deductions from common equity tier 1 capital and additional tier 1
capital that must be made to calculate total assets for the leverage
ratio. Specifically, the commenter asked whether the deductions made in
Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 13 through 15, also must be made for
purposes of the leverage ratio. The agencies are clarifying the
reporting instructions for proposed Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 37
and 38, to address the commenter's question. The agencies confirm that
the amounts deducted from common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1
capital in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 6, 7, 8, 10.b, 11, 13 through
17, and 24 must be included in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 37. In
addition, any other amounts that are deducted from common equity tier 1
and additional tier 1 capital, such as deductions related to AOCI-
adjustments, must be included in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 38.
F. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Item 40: Total Risk-weighted Assets and
Items 41 Through 45: Capital Ratios
Under the proposal, institutions would report data for the
calculation of risk-weighted assets and capital ratios in items 41
through 45. The agencies received one question on this section of the
proposal. Specifically, a commenter asked the agencies to confirm the
effective date of reporting the supplementary leverage ratio in item
45. The agencies are modifying the Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, reporting
form and the instructions for proposed item 45 to clarify that this
item must be reported for report dates after January 1, 2015.
Under the proposal, for report dates in 2014, Call Report filers
that are advanced approaches institutions would continue applying the
general risk-based capital rules to calculate their total risk-weighted
assets, which will continue to be reported in current item 62 of the
risk-weighted assets portion of Schedule RC-R (to be designated Part II
of the schedule in March 2014). This total risk-weighted assets amount
would then also be reported in item 40.a of Part I.B of Schedule RC-R
for report dates in 2014 and would serve as the denominator for the
risk-based capital ratios reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 41
through 44, column A. Effective March 31, 2015, all Call Report filers
would be required to apply the standardized approach, described in
subpart D of the revised regulatory capital rules, to calculate and
report their risk-weighted assets in item 40.a and the risk-based
capital ratios in items 41 through 44, column A, of the regulatory
capital components and ratios portion of Schedule RC-R.
Advanced approaches institutions would report items 40 through 45
on proposed Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, as follows.
For report dates in 2014, these institutions would
continue applying the general risk-based capital rules to report their
total risk-weighted assets in item 40.a, which would serve as the
denominator of the ratios reported in 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 calculate and report their risk-weighted
assets in item 40.a and the regulatory capital ratios in items 41
through 44, column A.
After they conduct a satisfactory parallel run, these
institutions would
[[Page 2532]]
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.
The agencies did not receive any comments on the proposed reporting
of the regulatory capital ratios by advanced approaches institutions
and thus would retain this section of the proposal without
modification.
G. Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, Items 46 Through 48: Capital Buffer
Under the proposal, an institution's capital conservation buffer
and related information would be reported in items 46 through 48. The
agencies received a question asking to confirm the effective date for
reporting items 46 through 48. The agencies are modifying the Schedule
RC-R, Part I.B, reporting form and the instructions for proposed items
46 through 48 to clarify that these items become effective for report
dates after January 1, 2016. Until March 31, 2016, the corresponding
cells in the draft reporting form for Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, would be
shaded out.
III. Discussion of the Proposed FFIEC 101 Changes
The proposed revisions to the FFIEC 101 Schedule A would
incorporate the Basel III capital disclosure template in its entirety,
with some minor changes to the titles of the template's line items,
consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules and the accounting
terminology of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To
ensure transparency of reporting regulatory capital by all advanced
approaches institutions, the agencies would, consistent with the
proposal, make public the information collected on the proposed revised
Schedule A, except for a few specific line items identified below,
starting with the March 31, 2014, report date, regardless of an
advanced approaches institution's parallel run status. The agencies
also proposed to continue granting confidential treatment to certain
items that are dependent on the implementation of the advanced
approaches systems before an advanced approaches institution completes
its parallel run period.
The agencies collectively received comments on the FFIEC 101 from
one entity, a bankers' association. This commenter asked the agencies
to clarify when an institution is required to file the FFIEC 101 report
if the institution has triggered the criteria for applying the advanced
approaches rule but has not yet begun its parallel run period. The
agencies are clarifying that an institution would begin completing
FFIEC 101 Schedule A at the end of the quarter after the quarter in
which the institution triggers one of the threshold criteria for
applying the advanced approaches rule or elects to use the advanced
approaches rule.\6\ However, the institution would not be required to
report those Schedule A items that depend on the implementation of the
advanced approaches rules (specifically, items 12, 50, 61 through 68,
78 through 79, and 86 through 90) and all the other schedules of the
FFIEC 101 until the end of the first quarter in which the institution
has begun its parallel run period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ An institution is deemed to have elected to use the advanced
approaches rule on the date that its primary federal supervisor
receives from the institution a board-approved implementation plan
pursuant to section 121(b)(2) of the revised regulatory capital
rules. After that date, in addition to being required to report on
the FFIEC 101, Schedule A, the institution may no longer apply the
AOCI opt-out election in section 22(b)(2) of the revised regulatory
capital rules and it becomes subject to the supplementary leverage
ratio in section 10(c)(4) of the revised regulatory capital rules
and its associated transition provisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same commenter asked how an advanced approaches institution
that has not completed its parallel run period should report its
supplementary leverage ratio in Call Report Schedule RC-R and in FFIEC
101 Schedule A, since such an advanced approaches institution has a
longer time period in which to submit the FFIEC 101 than the time
period for submitting the Call Report. The agencies note that the
calculation of the supplementary leverage ratio does not depend on the
advanced approaches systems and thus this ratio can be calculated for
purposes of the Call Report independent of an institution's preparation
and submission of the FFIEC 101 report. Accordingly, consistent with
the proposal, an advanced approaches institution that has not completed
its parallel run would report the supplementary leverage ratio in Call
Report Schedule RC-R and then it would report the details of its
calculation of the supplementary leverage ratio on FFIEC 101 Schedule A
by this report's later submission deadline. Similar to current
reporting practices, if an institution calculates its FFIEC 101 data
and discovers that the supplementary leverage ratio reported on its
Call Report is not correct, the institution should submit an amended
Call Report with the corrected information.
The commenter also asked for clarification of a limited number of
line item instructions in Schedules A, B, H through O, and Q. The
agencies are clarifying the instructions for these line items to the
extent considered appropriate by revising and expanding specific
instructions.
The agencies also note that the FFIEC 101 report title would be
modified from ``Risk-Based Capital Reporting for Institutions Subject
to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework'' to ``Regulatory Capital
Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework.'' In addition, the agencies are modifying the name of
Schedule A from ``Schedule A-Advanced Risk-based Capital'' to
``Schedule A-Advanced Approaches Regulatory Capital.'' These
modifications are consistent with the proposed revisions to the FFIEC
101, which entail the collection of data on regulatory capital and not
just risk-based capital.
A. Schedule A: Advanced Approaches Regulatory Capital
Under the proposal, revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A incorporates the
Basel III common disclosure template to ensure consistency and
comparability of reporting of regulatory capital elements by advanced
approaches institutions. Although the proposed revisions to Schedule A
of the FFIEC 101 are consistent with the regulatory capital reporting
approach followed in Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, as described
in section II of this notice, Schedule A provides a more granular
breakdown of regulatory capital elements, deductions and adjustments,
and regulatory capital instruments subject to phase-out, consistent
with the Basel III common disclosure template.
The agencies received a number of questions on the reporting
treatment for items subject to transition provisions, as described in
section II.B of this notice. The agencies have clarified the reporting
instructions for the applicable proposed line items in Schedule RC-R,
Part I.B. The instructions for the corresponding line items in proposed
revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A refer institutions to the Schedule RC-R,
Part I.B, instructions. Since advanced approaches institutions would be
able to continue to import the amounts to be reported in the majority
of the line items in proposed revised FFIEC 101 Schedule A from
proposed Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, the agencies do not
believe it is necessary to modify the
[[Page 2533]]
instructions for the same line items of FFIEC 101 Schedule A.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Advanced approaches institutions that file the FR Y-9C
rather than the Call Report would be able to import the amounts to
be reported in the majority of the line items in proposed revised
FFIEC 101 Schedule A from the Federal Reserve's proposed revised
Schedule HC-R.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporting confidential line items before completing the parallel
run period: Under the proposal, the agencies would make public the
information collected on proposed revised Schedule A, except for a few
specific line items identified below, for all advanced approaches
institutions, starting with the March 31, 2014, report date. The
agencies proposed to grant confidential treatment to the following
Schedule A items for report dates before an institution has completed
its parallel run period: Item 78 (total eligible credit reserves
calculated using advanced approaches); 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 advanced approaches); item 89 (tier 1 capital
ratio calculated using advanced approaches); and item 90 (total capital
ratio calculated using advanced approaches). In addition, the agencies
proposed that, before the completion of its parallel run period, an
institution would report ``zero'' in line item 12 (expected credit loss
that exceeds eligible credit reserves) and would complete line item 50
(eligible credit reserves includable in tier 2 capital) and line item
60 (total risk-weighted assets) by applying the general risk-based
capital rules in 2014 and the standardized approach in 2015. Under the
proposal, for the report dates after an institution conducts a
satisfactory parallel run, the entire Schedule A would be made public.
The agencies did not receive any comments on making public the
information collected on proposed revised Schedule A, as described
above, and thus retain the proposed approach without modification.
Supplementary leverage ratio: Proposed line items 91 through 98 in
Schedule A would collect data on a new supplementary leverage ratio
requirement for advanced approaches institutions, effective March 31,
2015. As described in section II.F of this notice, a commenter asked
the agencies to confirm the effective date for reporting the
supplementary leverage ratio. The agencies have modified the proposed
reporting form and the instructions for items 91 through 98 of Schedule
A to clarify that these items must be reported for report dates after
January 1, 2015. Until such time, the corresponding cells in the
reporting form for Schedule A would be shaded out.
B. Schedules B, C, D, H, I, J, P, Q, R, and S: Risk-weighted Assets
The proposal described proposed revisions to several of the risk-
weighted assets schedules in the FFIEC 101, which are intended to be
consistent with the revised advanced approaches rules to calculate
risk-weighted assets. The proposal would revise Schedules B, C, D, H,
I, J, P, Q, and R as follows:
Under Schedule B (summary table), the agencies proposed
new line items to reflect the proposed changes in schedules C through
R.
Under Schedules H and J, the agencies proposed new line
items to capture Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) amounts.
Under Schedule P, the agencies proposed an updated
securitization table.
Under Schedule Q, the agencies proposed a new table to
reflect cleared transactions.
Under Schedules C, D, H, I, and J, the agencies proposed
to collect data on exposures subject to a 1.25 asset correlation
factor.
Under Schedules H, I, and J, the agencies proposed data
collections related to the internal models methodology (IMM), margin
period of risk, and specific wrong-way risk.
Under Schedule R, the agencies proposed removing items
pertaining to an equity exposure treatment no longer permitted under
the revised advanced approaches rule.
The agencies received comments from one commenter on the proposed
revisions to these schedules. The following highlights only those areas
of the proposed revisions for which the agencies received comments.
1.06 Scaling Multiplier and ``Assets Not Included in a Defined Exposure
Category'' in Schedule B
The agencies did not propose to revise the FFIEC 101 regarding the
1.06 scaling multiplier in existing line item 28 of Schedule B, which
was proposed to be renumbered as line item 30, ``Total credit risk
weighted assets (Cell G-29 x 1.06).'' The commenter asked whether the
1.06 multiplier should be applied to all credit risk exposures,
including ``Assets Not Included in a Defined Exposure Category,'' non-
material portfolios, mortgage servicing rights, DTAs, and
securitization exposures subject to a 1,250 percent risk weight.
The agencies reviewed the comment and determined that no change to
renumbered line item 30 is necessary. Renumbered line item 27 in
proposed revised Schedule B, ``Assets Not Included in a Defined
Exposure Category,'' has always been subject to the 1.06 scaling
multiplier. In addition, consistent with the revised regulatory capital
rules, wholesale, retail, securitization, and equity exposures are all
subject to the 1.06 multiplier. The CVA capital requirement is
explicitly singled out in the revised regulatory capital rules as not
being subject to the 1.06 multiplier. Therefore, all exposures except
for the CVA charge are subject to the 1.06 scaling multiplier, as
proposed for Schedule B. The agencies also are clarifying in the
Schedule B instructions that exposures representing items in process of
collection that are assigned a risk weight of 20 percent should be
reported in line item 27, ``Assets Not Included in a Defined Exposure
Category.''
CVAs and Weighted Average Maturity Calculation in Schedules B, H, and J
The agencies proposed to insert memoranda 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) to
reflect the new CVA requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivative
activities under the revised regulatory capital rules.
The commenter observed that the CVA requirement is a portfolio
calculation and would therefore encompass transactions with and without
cross-product netting. The commenter sought clarification on where
institutions should report the CVA exposure and risk-weighted asset
amounts since each institution would only be reporting the CVA
information on a single line item (rather than the two proposed line
items in Schedules H and J). In addition, the commenter requested
clarification on the calculation of weighted average maturity.
In response to this comment, the agencies have decided to remove
the CVA memoranda items from Schedules H and J and instead collect this
information in Schedule B. The agencies believe this is the appropriate
location for reporting CVA information because Schedules H and J would
otherwise needlessly require reporting institutions to distinguish
between derivative transactions with and without cross-product netting
for purposes of allocating CVAs measured at the
[[Page 2534]]
portfolio level to subsets of the portfolio. Therefore, the agencies
have agreed to insert the following line items in Schedule B: Line item
31.a, ``Credit valuation adjustment--simple approach,'' and line item
31.b: ``Credit valuation adjustment--advanced approach.'' For the
relevant Schedule B line item (either 31.a or 31.b), the reporting
institutions would be required to report the amounts for risk-weighted
assets and the exposure at default of exposures used to calculate CVA.
The exposure at default information pertaining to CVA would remain
confidential, even after an institution completes its parallel run
period. These line items would replace proposed Schedule B line item
31, ``Total CVA RWA for OTC derivative transactions.''
In addition, if institutions apply a maturity floor, the general
instructions for Schedule B clarify that reporting institutions should
be consistent in the methodology they employ for calculating the
weighted average maturity amount.
Holding Period or Margin Period of Risk in Schedules H, I, and J
The agencies proposed to insert memoranda 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) to reflect the new capital requirements for
the margin period of risk and wrong-way risk in the advanced
approaches. 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.
The commenter asked how to report securities that have a ``holding
period or margin period of risk set for 20 days,'' but also meet the
criteria for ``holding period or margin period of risk set for at least
twice the minimum holding period that would otherwise be used (due to
at least 3 disputes).'' The agencies have agreed to clarify in the
instructions that transactions meeting both criteria should be reported
in one location under column C, ``Holding period or margin period of
risk set for at least twice the minimum holding period that would
otherwise be used (due to at least 3 disputes).''
Reporting the Credit Scoring System in Schedules K Through O
In their draft of the proposed revised FFIEC 101 reporting form,
the agencies inadvertently removed the text field from existing item
18, which the agencies proposed to renumber as memorandum item 2,
``Credit scores shown in Column O are from which credit scoring
system(s)?'' The agencies have agreed to correct this design error by
restoring the text field, consistent with the public comment.
Whether Exposure Amounts Are Inclusive of Initial Margin in Schedule Q
The agencies proposed a new Schedule Q (Cleared Transactions) to
capture exposures to central clearing parties (CCPs), consistent with
section 133 of the revised regulatory capital rules. The commenter
sought clarification on whether proposed line items 3 and 4 were
inclusive of initial margin. The agencies have agreed to clarify the
instructions, including a reference to the definition of a trade
exposure under the capital rules, which explains that the line item
values in question should be inclusive of initial margin.
250 Percent Risk Weight Category for Significant Investments in
Unconsolidated Financial Institutions in Schedule R
The commenter highlighted that the proposed revisions to Schedule R
(Equity Exposures) did not include a new field for equity exposures
receiving a 250 percent risk weight that are significant investments in
unconsolidated financial institutions that fall below the 10 and 15
percent deduction thresholds. Accordingly, the agencies have agreed to
insert a field for this risk weight category as line item 7 in Schedule
R. (Thus, line items 7 through 13 in the initial draft of proposed
revised Schedule R would be renumbered as line items 8 through 14.)
Schedule S: Operational Risk
The agencies originally did not propose to revise Schedule S:
Operational Risk. However, consistent with prior feedback received from
reporting institutions, the agencies are proposing to clarify the
existing instructions for several line items in Schedule S. The
agencies believe these changes do not result in the collection of any
new data, nor do they impact where institutions report operational risk
data in Schedule S. Clarifications have been made to the instructions
for the following Schedule S line items:
Line Item 3, ``Expected Operational Loss (EOL)'';
Line item 5, ``Dependence Assumptions'';
For items 8 through 15, the instructions indicate that
legal reserves should be included for the purpose of determining
frequency counts, total loss amounts, and loss maximums;
Line item 9, ``Highest dollar threshold applied in
modeling internal operational loss event data'';
Line items 11 through 15 related to loss-amount
information;
Line item 16, ``How many individual scenarios were used in
calculating the risk-based capital requirement for operational risk'';
Line item 17, ``What is the dollar value of the largest
individual scenario''; and
Line item 18, ``Number of scenarios in the following
ranges (e.g., >=$1 million and <$10 million).''
IV. 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 for which the requested information is not
readily available.
V. Request for Comment
