Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request, 56677-56678 [2022-19999]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2022 / Notices For an individually evaluated impaired collateral dependent loan,35 regulatory reporting requires the amount of the recorded investment in the loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral 36 (less costs to sell) 37 if the costs are expected to reduce the cash flows available to repay or otherwise satisfy the loan, as applicable), to be charged off to the ALLL in a timely manner. Financial institutions also should consider the need to recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments in other liabilities consistent with ASC Subtopic 825–10, Financial Instruments— Overall. For additional information, refer to the FFIEC Call Report instructions pertaining to regulatory reporting. For performing CRE loans, supervisory policies do not require automatic increases in the ALLL solely because the value of the collateral has declined to an amount that is less than the recorded investment in the loan. However, declines in collateral values should be considered when applying qualitative factors to calculate loss rates for affected groups of loans when estimating loan losses under ASC Subtopic 450–20. By order of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Ann E. Misback, Secretary of the Board.
