Thus, the reporting revisions to the FR Y–9C, as applicable, will take effect March 31, 2020, for the capital simplifications rule and the community bank leverage ratio rule. Non-advanced approaches institutions may elect to wait to adopt the capital simplifications rule for reporting purposes until the June 30, 2020, report date. The reporting revisions to the FR Y–9C, as applicable, will take effect June 30, 2020, for the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk on derivative contracts final rule and the high volatility commercial real estate exposures final rule. However, the mandatory compliance date for reporting in accordance with the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk final rule is the March 31, 2022, report date. In addition, the reporting of operating lease liabilities as ‘‘All other liabilities’’ in FR Y–9C will take effect March 31, 2020, and the change in the reporting of construction, land development, and other land loans with interest reserves in FR Y–9 Schedule HC–C, Part I, will take effect March 31, 2021. The requirement to continue reporting HELOCs that convert to closed-end status as open-end loans in Schedule HC–C, Part I, will apply to those HELOCs that convert on or after January 1, 2021, with pre-2021 conversions subject to the transition guidance described in Section II.I. above; new Memorandum item 15 in Schedule HC– C, for HELOCs in non-revolving closedend status that are reported as open-end loans will take effect March 31, 2021. The specific wording of the captions for the new or revised FR Y–9C data items discussed in this notice and the numbering of these data items should be regarded as preliminary, and may be changed prior to the effective date of these items. FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Proposed Revisions to the FR Y–9CS The Board proposed to revise the FR Y–9CS to clarify that response to the report is voluntary.
