Report Summary The agencies propose to extend for three years, with revision, the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051 Call Reports. Report Title: Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report). Form Number: FFIEC 031 (Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic and Foreign Offices), FFIEC 041 (Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only), and FFIEC 051 (Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only and Total Assets Less Than $5 Billion). Frequency of Response: Quarterly. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Type of Review: Revision and extension of currently approved collections. OCC OMB Control No.: 1557–0081. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,090 national banks and federal savings associations. E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 211 / Thursday, November 4, 2021 / Notices Estimated Average Burden per Response: 42.10 burden hours per quarter to file. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 183,556 burden hours to file. Board OMB Control No.: 7100–0036. Estimated Number of Respondents: 728 state member banks. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 45.62 burden hours per quarter to file. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 132,845 burden hours to file. FDIC OMB Control No.: 3064–0052. Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,209 insured state nonmember banks and state savings associations. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 40.13 burden hours per quarter to file. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 515,109 burden hours to file. The estimated average burden hours collectively reflect the estimates for the FFIEC 031, the FFIEC 041, and the FFIEC 051 reports for each agency. When the estimates are calculated by type of report across the agencies, the estimated average burden hours per quarter are 86.49 (FFIEC 031), 55.53 (FFIEC 041), and 35.38 (FFIEC 051). The changes to the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051 Call Report forms and instructions proposed in this notice would not have an impact on the existing burden estimates. The estimated burden per response for the quarterly filings of the Call Report is an average that varies by agency because of differences in the composition of the institutions under each agency’s supervision (e.g., size distribution of institutions, types of activities in which they are engaged, and existence of foreign offices). Type of Review: Extension and revision of currently approved collections. In addition to the proposed revisions discussed below, Call Reports are periodically updated to clarify instructional guidance and correct grammatical and typographical errors on the forms and instructions, which are published on the FFIEC website.1 These non-substantive updates may also be commented upon. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Legal Basis and Need for Collections The Call Report information collections are mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 (state member banks), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured 1 www.ffiec.gov/forms031.htm; www.ffiec.gov/ forms041.htm; www.ffiec.gov/forms051.htm. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:57 Nov 03, 2021 Jkt 256001 state nonmember commercial and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (federal and state savings associations). At present, except for selected data items and text, these information collections are not given confidential treatment. Banks and savings associations 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 serve a regulatory or public policy purpose by assisting the agencies in fulfilling their shared missions of ensuring the safety and soundness of financial institutions and the financial system and protecting consumer financial rights, as well as agency-specific missions affecting national and state-chartered institutions, such as conducting monetary policy, ensuring financial stability, and administering federal deposit insurance. Call Reports are the source of the most current statistical data available for identifying areas of focus for on-site and off-site examinations. Among other purposes, the agencies use Call Report data in evaluating institutions’ corporate applications, including interstate merger and acquisition applications for which the agencies are required by law to determine whether the resulting institution would control more than 10 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 assessments and national banks’ and federal savings associations’ semiannual assessment fees. II. Current Actions A. New Item for SA–CCR On January 24, 2020, the agencies issued a final rule 2 (SA–CCR final rule) that amends the regulatory capital rule to implement a new approach for calculating the exposure amount for derivative contracts for purposes of calculating total risk-weighted assets (RWA), which is called SA–CCR. The final rule also incorporates SA–CCR into the determination of the exposure amount of derivatives for total leverage exposure under the supplementary leverage ratio and the cleared transaction framework under the capital rule. Banking institutions that are not advanced approaches institutions may elect to use SA–CCR to calculate standardized total RWA by notifying 2 85 PO 00000 FR 4362 (Jan. 24, 2020). Frm 00177 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60967 their appropriate federal supervisor.3 Advanced approaches institutions are required to use SA–CCR to calculate standardized total RWA starting on January 1, 2022. Advanced approaches institutions may adopt SA–CCR prior to January 1, 2022, but must notify their appropriate federal supervisor of early adoption.4 On July 22, 2021, the agencies proposed to revise Schedule RC–R, Part I, Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios, on all versions of the Call Report by adding a new line item 31.b, ‘‘Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk opt-in election.’’ 5 The agencies proposed to add this new item to identify institutions that have chosen to early adopt or voluntarily elect SA–CCR. This information allows for enhanced comparability of the reported derivative data and for better supervision of the implementation of the framework at these institutions. Due to the inherent complexity of adopting SA–CCR, identification of non-advanced approaches institutions that choose to voluntarily adopt SA–CCR is particularly important for their supervision. The comment period for the July 2021 notice ended on September 20, 2021. The agencies received one comment that was generally supportive of the proposed new Call Report line item related to the SA–CCR final rule. The agencies did not receive any other comments on the proposed change and intend to add the new item for SA–CCR as proposed. The agencies made available on the FFIEC website redline changes related to SA–CCR in the forms and instructions for Schedule RC–R, Part I, Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios, and the agencies will use these same redline changes for this notice as well. B. Instruction Revisions for DTAs On May 10, 2021, the agencies published a proposed rule on Tax Allocation Agreements (Tax NPR) with request for comment.6 Consistent with the proposed requirements and discussion in the Tax NPR, the agencies proposed to revise the Call Report instructions Glossary entry for ‘‘Income Taxes’’ to address treatment of temporary difference deferred and operating loss and tax credit 3 12 CFR 3.34(a)(1)(ii) (OCC); 12 CFR 217.34(a)(1)(ii) (Board); 12 CFR 324.34(a)(1)(ii) (FDIC). 4 12 CFR 3.300(g) (OCC); 12 CFR 217.300(h) (Board); 12 CFR 324.300(g) (FDIC). 5 86 FR 38810 (July 22, 2021) (July 2021 notice). 6 86 FR 24755 (May 10, 2021). E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1 60968 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 211 / Thursday, November 4, 2021 / Notices carryforward DTAs in the July 2021 notice. The agencies are still considering comments received on the Tax NPR. Therefore, the agencies are deferring consideration of any instruction changes related to DTAs to a future Paperwork Reduction Act notice, which will also provide an opportunity for additional comment on the instructions. The agencies did receive two comments on the proposed instruction revisions for DTAs, which will be considered when developing that notice. III. Timing As stated in the July 2021 notice, the proposed reporting change for the new item related to SA–CCR would take effect starting with the December 31, 2021, Call Report. IV. Request for Comment Public comment is requested on all aspects of this joint notice. Comment is specifically invited on: (a) Whether the proposed revisions to the collections of information that are the subject of this notice are necessary for the proper performance of the agencies’ functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agencies’ estimates of the burden of the information collections as they are proposed to be revised, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Report Summary

    The agencies propose to extend for three years, with revision, the 
FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051 Call Reports.
    Report Title: Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call 
Report).
    Form Number: FFIEC 031 (Consolidated Reports of Condition and 
Income for a Bank with Domestic and Foreign Offices), FFIEC 041 
(Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic 
Offices Only), and FFIEC 051 (Consolidated Reports of Condition and 
Income for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only and Total Assets Less Than 
$5 Billion).
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Type of Review: Revision and extension of currently approved 
collections.

OCC

    OMB Control No.: 1557-0081.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,090 national banks and federal 
savings associations.

[[Page 60967]]

    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 42.10 burden hours per 
quarter to file.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 183,556 burden hours to file.

Board

    OMB Control No.: 7100-0036.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 728 state member banks.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 45.62 burden hours per 
quarter to file.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 132,845 burden hours to file.

FDIC

    OMB Control No.: 3064-0052.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,209 insured state nonmember 
banks and state savings associations.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 40.13 burden hours per 
quarter to file.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 515,109 burden hours to file.
    The estimated average burden hours collectively reflect the 
estimates for the FFIEC 031, the FFIEC 041, and the FFIEC 051 reports 
for each agency. When the estimates are calculated by type of report 
across the agencies, the estimated average burden hours per quarter are 
86.49 (FFIEC 031), 55.53 (FFIEC 041), and 35.38 (FFIEC 051). The 
changes to the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051 Call Report forms and 
instructions proposed in this notice would not have an impact on the 
existing burden estimates. The estimated burden per response for the 
quarterly filings of the Call Report is an average that varies by 
agency because of differences in the composition of the institutions 
under each agency's supervision (e.g., size distribution of 
institutions, types of activities in which they are engaged, and 
existence of foreign offices).
    Type of Review: Extension and revision of currently approved 
collections. In addition to the proposed revisions discussed below, 
Call Reports are periodically updated to clarify instructional guidance 
and correct grammatical and typographical errors on the forms and 
instructions, which are published on the FFIEC website.\1\ These non-
substantive updates may also be commented upon.

Legal Basis and Need for Collections

    The Call Report information collections are mandatory: 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 (federal and state savings associations). At present, 
except for selected data items and text, these information collections 
are not given confidential treatment.
    Banks and savings associations 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 serve a regulatory or public 
policy purpose by assisting the agencies in fulfilling their shared 
missions of ensuring the safety and soundness of financial institutions 
and the financial system and protecting consumer financial rights, as 
well as agency-specific missions affecting national and state-chartered 
institutions, such as conducting monetary policy, ensuring financial 
stability, and administering federal deposit insurance. Call Reports 
are the source of the most current statistical data available for 
identifying areas of focus for on-site and off-site examinations. Among 
other purposes, the agencies use Call Report data in evaluating 
institutions' corporate applications, including interstate merger and 
acquisition applications for which the agencies are required by law to 
determine whether the resulting institution would control more than 10 
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 assessments and national 
banks' and federal savings associations' semiannual assessment fees.

II. Current Actions

A. New Item for SA-CCR

    On January 24, 2020, the agencies issued a final rule \2\ (SA-CCR 
final rule) that amends the regulatory capital rule to implement a new 
approach for calculating the exposure amount for derivative contracts 
for purposes of calculating total risk-weighted assets (RWA), which is 
called SA-CCR. The final rule also incorporates SA-CCR into the 
determination of the exposure amount of derivatives for total leverage 
exposure under the supplementary leverage ratio and the cleared 
transaction framework under the capital rule. Banking institutions that 
are not advanced approaches institutions may elect to use SA-CCR to 
calculate standardized total RWA by notifying their appropriate federal 
supervisor.\3\ Advanced approaches institutions are required to use SA-
CCR to calculate standardized total RWA starting on January 1, 2022. 
Advanced approaches institutions may adopt SA-CCR prior to January 1, 
2022, but must notify their appropriate federal supervisor of early 
adoption.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 85 FR 4362 (Jan. 24, 2020).
    \3\ 12 CFR 3.34(a)(1)(ii) (OCC); 12 CFR 217.34(a)(1)(ii) 
(Board); 12 CFR 324.34(a)(1)(ii) (FDIC).
    \4\ 12 CFR 3.300(g) (OCC); 12 CFR 217.300(h) (Board); 12 CFR 
324.300(g) (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 22, 2021, the agencies proposed to revise Schedule RC-R, 
Part I, Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios, on all versions of 
the Call Report by adding a new line item 31.b, ``Standardized Approach 
for Counterparty Credit Risk opt-in election.'' \5\ The agencies 
proposed to add this new item to identify institutions that have chosen 
to early adopt or voluntarily elect SA-CCR. This information allows for 
enhanced comparability of the reported derivative data and for better 
supervision of the implementation of the framework at these 
institutions. Due to the inherent complexity of adopting SA-CCR, 
identification of non-advanced approaches institutions that choose to 
voluntarily adopt SA-CCR is particularly important for their 
supervision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 86 FR 38810 (July 22, 2021) (July 2021 notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The comment period for the July 2021 notice ended on September 20, 
2021. The agencies received one comment that was generally supportive 
of the proposed new Call Report line item related to the SA-CCR final 
rule. The agencies did not receive any other comments on the proposed 
change and intend to add the new item for SA-CCR as proposed. The 
agencies made available on the FFIEC website redline changes related to 
SA-CCR in the forms and instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, 
Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios, and the agencies will use 
these same redline changes for this notice as well.

B. Instruction Revisions for DTAs

    On May 10, 2021, the agencies published a proposed rule on Tax 
Allocation Agreements (Tax NPR) with request for comment.\6\ Consistent 
with the proposed requirements and discussion in the Tax NPR, the 
agencies proposed to revise the Call Report instructions Glossary entry 
for ``Income Taxes'' to address treatment of temporary difference 
deferred and operating loss and tax credit

[[Page 60968]]

carryforward DTAs in the July 2021 notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 86 FR 24755 (May 10, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The agencies are still considering comments received on the Tax 
NPR. Therefore, the agencies are deferring consideration of any 
instruction changes related to DTAs to a future Paperwork Reduction Act 
notice, which will also provide an opportunity for additional comment 
on the instructions. The agencies did receive two comments on the 
proposed instruction revisions for DTAs, which will be considered when 
developing that notice.

III. Timing

    As stated in the July 2021 notice, the proposed reporting change 
for the new item related to SA-CCR would take effect starting with the 
December 31, 2021, Call Report.
