SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result
of the enactment of the Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2010, codified at
46 U.S.C. 12102, the Secretary of
Transportation has the discretionary
authority to issue waivers allowing
documented vessels with registry
endorsements or foreign flag vessels to
be used in operations that treat
aquaculture fish for or protect
aquaculture fish from disease, parasitic
infestation, or other threats to their
health when suitable vessels of the
United States are not available that
could perform those services. The
Secretary has delegated this authority to
the Maritime Administrator. Pursuant to
this authority, MARAD is providing
notice of the service requirements
proposed by Cooke Aquaculture (Cooke)
in order to make a U.S.-flag vessel
availability determination. Specifics can
be found in Cooke’s application letter
posted in the docket.
In order to comply with USCG
Aquaculture Support regulations at 46
CFR part 106, Cooke is seeking a
MARAD Aquaculture Waiver to operate
the vessels SADIE JANE as follows:
Intended Commercial Use of Vessel:
‘‘to use one highly-specialized foreign-
flag vessel referred to as a ‘‘wellboat’’ (or
‘‘live fish carrier’’) to treat Cooke’s
swimming inventory of farmed Atlantic
salmon in the company’s salt-water
grow-out pens off Maine’s North
Atlantic Coast. This treatment prevents
against parasitic infestation by sea lice
that is highly destructive to the salmon’s
health.’’
Geographic Region: ‘‘off Maine’s
North Atlantic Coast’’
oreign-

‘‘live fish carrier’’) to treat Cooke’s
swimming inventory of farmed Atlantic
salmon in the company’s salt-water
grow-out pens off Maine’s North

December 31, 2017.’’
Interested parties may submit
comments providing detailed
information relating to the availability
of U.S.-flag vessels to perform the
required aquaculture support services. If
MARAD determines, in accordance with
46 U.S.C. 12102(d)(1) and MARAD’s
regulations at 46 CFR part 388, that
suitable U.S.-flag vessels are available to
perform the required services, a waiver
will not be granted. Comments should
refer to the docket number of this notice
and the vessel name in order for
MARAD to properly consider the
comments. Comments should also state
the commenter’s interest in the waiver
application, and address the waiver
criteria set forth in 46 CFR 388.4.
Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
MARAD solicits comments from the
public to inform its process to
determine the availability of suitable
vessels. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, to www.regulations.gov, as
described in the system of records

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 27, 2017 / Notices
The proposed revisions to the FFIEC
051, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 031 Call
Reports would result in an overall
reduction in burden. In particular, the
proposed revisions primarily relate to
the deletion or consolidation of a large
number of items, the raising of certain
reporting thresholds, and a reduction in
reporting frequency for a number of
items. The proposed revisions also
address the definition of ‘‘past due’’ for
regulatory reporting purposes as well as
changes in the accounting for equity
investments. The proposed revisions
would take effect as of the March 31,
2018, report date. At the end of the
comment period for this notice, the
comments and recommendations
received will be reviewed to determine
whether the FFIEC and the agencies
should modify the proposed revisions to
the FFIEC 051, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC
031 prior to giving final approval. As
required by the PRA, the agencies will
then publish a second Federal Register
notice for a 30-day comment period and
submit the final FFIEC 051, FFIEC 041,
and FFIEC 031 to OMB for review and
approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before August 28, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments to
any or all of the agencies

The proposed burden-reducing
revisions are the result of an ongoing
effort by the agencies to reduce the
burden associated with the preparation
and filing of Call Reports and, as
detailed in Appendices B, C, and D,
achieve burden reductions by the
removal or consolidation of numerous
items, the raising of certain reporting
thresholds, and a reduction in reporting
frequency for certain items. The
proposed revision to the definition of
‘‘past due’’ for regulatory reporting
purposes would promote the use of
consistent standards in the industry.
The proposed revisions to the reporting
of equity investments are consistent
with changes in the accounting
standards applicable to such
investments.
The estimated average burden hours,
which reflect an overall reduction,
collectively reflect the estimates for the
FFIEC 051, the FFIEC 041, and the
FFIEC 031 reports. When the estimates
are calculated by type of report across
the agencies, the estimated average
burden hours per quarter are 39.47
(FFIEC 051), 58.37 (FFIEC 041), and
123.25 (FFIEC 031). 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: Revision of currently
approved collections.

banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (for federal

and text, these information collections
are not given confidential treatment.
Abstract
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
serve a regulatory or public policy
purpose by assisting the agencies in
fulfilling their missions of ensuring the
safety and soundness of financial
institutions and the financial system
and the protection of consumer
financial rights, as well as agency-
specific missions affecting national and
state-chartered institutions, e.g.,
monetary policy, financial stability, and
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. The agencies use Call
Report data in evaluating institutions’
corporate applications, including, in
particular, interstate merger and
acquisition applications for which, as
required by law, the agencies must
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
examinations. The agencies use Call
Report data in evaluating institutions’

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.
Current Actions
I. Introduction
As part of an initiative launched by
the FFIEC in December 2014 to identify
potential opportunities to reduce
burden associated with Call Report
requirements for community banks, the
FFIEC and the agencies have taken
several actions, including: (1) The
finalization in mid-2016 of a number of
burden-reducing changes and other
revisions to the Call Report that were
implemented in September 2016 and
March 2017; (2) outreach to institutions
to obtain a better understanding of
significant sources of reporting burden
in their Call Report preparation
processes; and (3) the creation of a new
streamlined FFIEC 051 Call Report for
eligible small institutions that took
effect as of the March 31, 2017, report
date.1
As another key part of the FFIEC’s
community bank burden-reduction
initiative, in 2015 the agencies
accelerated the start of the next
statutorily mandated review of the
existing Call Report data items (Full
Review),2 which otherwise would have
commenced in 2017. Users of Call
Report data items, who are internal staff
at the FFIEC member entities,
participated in a series of nine surveys
conducted over a 19-month period that
began in mid-July 2015 and ended in
mid-February 2017

Report data items, who are internal staff
at the FFIEC member entities,
participated in a series of nine surveys
conducted over a 19-month period that
began in mid-July 2015 and ended in
mid-February 2017. As an integral part
of these surveys, users were asked to
fully explain the need for each Call
Report data item they deem essential,
how the data item is used, the frequency
with which it is needed, and the
population of institutions from which it
is needed. Call Report schedules were
placed into nine groups and prioritized
for review, generally based on the level
of burden cited by banking industry
representatives. Based on the results of
the user surveys, the agencies are in the
process of identifying data items to be
considered for removal, less frequent
collection, and new or revised reporting
thresholds to reduce burden.
Based on the results of a portion of
the user surveys, the agencies propose
various burden-reducing changes in this
proposal. A summary of the FFIEC

complex or specialized activities,
several of which were removed and
replaced by indicator questions and a
limited number of indicator items when
the new FFIEC 051 was created.
Therefore, revisions proposed in this

significantly affect schedules and data
items in the FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 031.
In addition, as a framework for the
actions it is undertaking, the FFIEC
developed a set of guiding principles for
use in evaluating potential additions

In addition, as a framework for the
actions it is undertaking, the FFIEC
developed a set of guiding principles for
use in evaluating potential additions
and deletions of Call Report data items
and other revisions to the Call Report.
In general, data items collected in the
Call Report must meet three guiding
principles: (1) The data items serve a
long-term regulatory or public policy
purpose by assisting the FFIEC member
entities in fulfilling their missions of
ensuring the safety and soundness of
financial institutions and the financial
system and the protection of consumer
financial rights, as well as agency-
specific missions affecting national and
state-chartered institutions; (2) the data
items to be collected maximize practical
utility and minimize, to the extent
practicable and appropriate, burden on
financial institutions; and (3) equivalent
data items are not readily available
through other means.

Report Revisions
As discussed above, the Call Report
schedules are being reviewed as part of
the Full Review, conducted through a
series of nine user surveys. The results
of a portion of the surveys were

Report Revisions
As discussed above, the Call Report
schedules are being reviewed as part of
the Full Review, conducted through a
series of nine user surveys. The results
of a portion of the surveys were
evaluated in the development of this
proposal. In addition, the results of
certain surveys were re-evaluated and
further burden-reducing changes were
incorporated into this proposal. In
conjunction with these evaluations, the
agencies also considered comments
received on their August 2016 Call
Report proposal, feedback and
streamlining suggestions received
during their banker outreach activities
as part of the community bank Call
Report burden-reduction initiative, and
comments regarding the Call Report
received during the Economic Growth
and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction
Act review conducted by the FFIEC and
the agencies 4 (hereafter collectively
referred to as ‘‘industry comments and
feedback’’). The proposed revisions to
the FFIEC 051, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC
031, which are based on these analyses
of the survey responses and
consideration of industry comments and
feedback, are discussed in Sections
III.A, III.B, and III.C, respectively.
The schedules reviewed in the
portion of the user surveys evaluated in
the development of this proposal
include:
• Schedule RI–D—Income from Foreign
Offices [FFIEC 031 only]
• Schedule RI–E—Explanations
• Schedule RC–B—Securities
• Schedule RC–D—Trading Assets and
Liabilities [FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041
only]
• Schedule RC–K—Quarterly Averages
• Schedule RC–L—Derivatives and Off-
Balance-Sheet Items
• Schedule RC–M—Memoranda
The schedules re-evaluated in the
development of this proposal include:
• Schedule RI—Income Statement
• Schedule RC—Balance Sheet
• Schedule RC–C, Part I—Loans and
Leases
• Schedule RC–N—Past Due and
Nonaccrual Loans, Leases, and Other
Assets
Table 1 summarizes the changes
already finalized as part of the FFIEC’s
community bank Call Report burden-
reduction initiative

would revise a method currently
described in the Call Report instructions
for determining past-due status for
purposes of reporting certain loans and
leases as past due in Schedule RC–N.
The second proposal would revise

removed, if an institution has an other noninterest
income component currently disclosed in item 1.f
or 1.h in an amount in excess of the reporting
threshold, it would itemize and describe this

a preprinted caption.

III. Detail of Specific Proposed Call
Report Revisions
A. Revisions to the FFIEC 051
Schedule RI
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to consolidate securities
brokerage and investment banking
income items 5.d.(1) and 5.d.(2) into
revised item 5.d.(1), consolidate
insurance activities income items 5.d.(3)
through 5.d.(5) into revised item 5.d.(2),
remove securitization income item 5.g,
and remove non-deductible interest
expense Memorandum item 1 as the
agencies no longer need the current
level of detail provided by each of these
existing items from smaller institutions
eligible to file this version of the Call
Report. Securitization income would be
included within other noninterest
income in item 5.l.
Schedule RI–B
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove Schedule RI–B, Part
II, Memorandum item 4 on allowances
for credit losses on purchased credit-
impaired loans, as the agencies no
longer need this item from smaller
institutions eligible to file this version
of the Call Report.
Schedule RI–E
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove the preprinted
captions for items 1.f and 1.h, as few
institutions report having these
components of other noninterest income
in amounts in excess of the existing
reporting threshold for disclosing these
components.5 The remaining items 1.g
and 1.i through 1.l would be
renumbered as items 1.f through 1.j
of the Call Report.
Schedule RI–E
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove the preprinted
captions for items 1.f and 1.h, as few
institutions report having these
components of other noninterest income
in amounts in excess of the existing
reporting threshold for disclosing these
components.5 The remaining items 1.g
and 1.i through 1.l would be
renumbered as items 1.f through 1.j.
In addition, after reviewing the
agencies’ data needs along with industry
comments and feedback requesting a
higher threshold for disclosing
components of other noninterest income
and other noninterest expense in
Schedule RI–E, the agencies propose to
increase the percentage portion of the
existing threshold for reporting other
noninterest income components in
items 1.a through 1.j and other
noninterest expense components in
items 2.a through 2.p. The proposed
threshold for disclosing components of
other noninterest income and other
noninterest expense would be amounts
greater than $100,000 that exceed seven
percent of Schedule RI, item 5.l and
item 7.d, respectively.6 This percentage
is currently three percent. The agencies
considered alternative percentage
thresholds of five percent and ten
percent. Upon evaluating the impact of
each percentage threshold, the agencies
determined that a percentage threshold
of seven percent would provide a
meaningful reduction in reporting
burden without a loss of data that would
be necessary for supervisory or other
public policy purposes.
The agencies further propose to
reduce the frequency of collection for
items 1.a through 1.j and 2.a through 2.p
from quarterly to annually as of
December 31. This proposal is based on
a comment received on the agencies’
August 2016 Call Report proposal
recommending a reduction in the
reporting frequency of these items for
smaller institutions.7 The agencies
believe the new reporting frequency
better balances the agencies’ supervisory
needs with institutions’ reporting
burden

August 2016 Call Report proposal
recommending a reduction in the
reporting frequency of these items for
smaller institutions.7 The agencies
believe the new reporting frequency

needs with institutions’ reporting
burden.
Schedule RC
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to move the reporting of
goodwill from existing item 10.a on the
balance sheet to Schedule RC–M, item
2.b, and combine existing items 10.a
and 10.b on Schedule RC into a single
item 10. This would consolidate the
reporting of goodwill and other
intangible assets on Schedule RC into a
single balance sheet item for intangible
assets. This proposed revision to
Schedule RC was requested by a
commenter on the agencies’ August
2016 Call Report proposal to facilitate
institutions’ reporting by making their
Call Report processes more efficient and
better focused.8 While the agencies
believe the reporting and disclosure of
the amount of an institution’s goodwill
is important, the agencies are indifferent
as to the location of the goodwill
information in the Call Report.
Schedule RC–B
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to consolidate the reporting of
an institution’s holdings of U.S.
government agency obligations, which
are currently reported in items 2.a and
2.b, into a single item 2, and to
consolidate the reporting of structured
financial product holdings, which are
currently reported in items 5.b.(1)
through 5.b.(3), into a single item 5.b, as
the agencies no longer need the current
level of detail for these holdings in the
Call Report. Banks would still be
required to report amortized cost and
fair value information in columns A
through D for the proposed items 2 and
5.b
consolidate the reporting of structured
financial product holdings, which are
currently reported in items 5.b.(1)
through 5.b.(3), into a single item 5.b, as
the agencies no longer need the current
level of detail for these holdings in the
Call Report. Banks would still be
required to report amortized cost and
fair value information in columns A
through D for the proposed items 2 and
5.b. The agencies also propose to reduce
the reporting frequency of the data on
sales and transfers of held-to-maturity
securities reported in Memorandum
item 3 from quarterly to semiannual
(June 30 and December 31), as the
agencies no longer need these data items
as frequently. This proposal is
consistent with industry comments and
feedback recommending a shorter
reporting form for two of the four
quarters each year. The agencies also
propose to remove Memorandum items
6.a through 6.g, which provide detail on
holding of structured financial products,
as smaller institutions eligible to file
this version of the Call Report generally
do not hold these securities.
Schedule RC–C, Part I
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7.a,
7.b, 8.a, and 12 (Columns A through C)
from quarterly to semiannual (June 30
and December 31), as the agencies no
longer need these loan data in the Call
Report as frequently. This proposal is
consistent with industry comments and
feedback recommending a shorter
reporting form for two of the four
quarters each year.
Schedule RC–K
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove item 7, average
trading assets, as the agencies no longer
need this quarterly average in the Call
Report from institutions with domestic
offices only and assets less than $1
billion
This proposal is
consistent with industry comments and
feedback recommending a shorter
reporting form for two of the four
quarters each year.
Schedule RC–K
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove item 7, average
trading assets, as the agencies no longer
need this quarterly average in the Call
Report from institutions with domestic
offices only and assets less than $1
billion.
Schedule RC–L
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to remove items 1.b.(1), 1.b.(2),
and 1.d, as the agencies no longer need
the current level of detail for these types
of unused commitments from smaller
institutions eligible to file this version

currently reported in item 1.d would be included
as part of all other unused commitments in item
1.e.(3).
10 As explained in the description of the proposed
revisions to Schedule RC of the FFIEC 051, existing
item 2.b of Schedule RC–M would be replaced by
a revised item 2.b for reporting goodwill.
11 If an institution has the component of other
noninterest income currently disclosed in item 1.f
or 1.h in an amount in excess of the reporting
threshold, it would itemize and describe this
component in one of the subitems of item 1 without
a preprinted caption.

this reporting threshold from $25,000 to $100,000

of the Call Report.9 The agencies also
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of merchant credit card sales
data in items 11.a and 11.b from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need this information in the Call Report
as frequently. This proposal is
consistent with industry comments and
feedback recommending a shorter
reporting form for smaller institutions
for two of the four quarters each year.
Schedule RC–M
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to consolidate current items 2.b
and 2.c, which provide data on certain
identifiable intangible assets, into a
single item 2.c,10 and to consolidate
other real estate owned items 3.c and 3.f
into a single item 3.c, as the agencies no
longer need the current level of detail in
the Call Report that is provided in these
separate items. As discussed earlier
under Schedule RC, the agencies are
moving the goodwill amount formerly
reported in Schedule RC, item 10.a, to
a recaptioned item 2.b on Schedule RC–
M.
Schedule RC–N
For the FFIEC 051, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7 and
8 on nonaccrual assets and
Memorandum items 9.a and 9.b on
purchased credit-impaired loans from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need these data in the Call Report as
frequently. In connection with this
proposed change, Memorandum items 7
and 8 would collect data on additions
to nonaccrual assets and nonaccrual
asset sales, respectively, during the
preceding six months rather than the
preceding quarter as at present
it-impaired loans from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need these data in the Call Report as
frequently. In connection with this
proposed change, Memorandum items 7
and 8 would collect data on additions
to nonaccrual assets and nonaccrual
asset sales, respectively, during the
preceding six months rather than the
preceding quarter as at present. This
proposal is consistent with industry
comments and feedback recommending
a shorter reporting form for two of the
four quarters each year.
B. Revisions to the FFIEC 041
Scope Revision
The agencies propose to revise the
scope of the FFIEC 041 to require all
institutions with consolidated total
assets of $100 billion or more to file the
FFIEC 031 instead, regardless of
whether an institution has any foreign
offices. The agencies are proposing this
change because institutions with
consolidated total assets of $100 billion
or more without foreign offices are
considered to have a similar degree of
complexity in their activities as
institutions with consolidated total
assets of $100 billion or more and
foreign offices that currently file the
FFIEC 031. This scope revision would
affect a small number of institutions.
Also, modifying the scope of these two
versions of the Call Report in this
manner would enable the agencies to
remove a number of data items from the
FFIEC 041 report that they no longer
need to collect from institutions with
consolidated total assets less than $100
billion.
Schedule RI
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to remove detail on trading
revenues in Memorandum items 8.a
through 8.e, as the agencies no longer
need this level of detail in the Call
Report from institutions with total
assets less than $100 billion. The
agencies would also remove
Memorandum items 8.f through 8.h,
which currently only apply to
institutions with total assets of $100
billion or more
he FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to remove detail on trading
revenues in Memorandum items 8.a
through 8.e, as the agencies no longer
need this level of detail in the Call
Report from institutions with total
assets less than $100 billion. The
agencies would also remove
Memorandum items 8.f through 8.h,
which currently only apply to
institutions with total assets of $100
billion or more. In addition, the
agencies propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum item 12 from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need this data in the Call Report as
frequently.
Schedule RI–E
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to remove the preprinted
captions for items 1.f and 1.h, as few
institutions report having these
components of other noninterest income
in amounts in excess of the existing
reporting threshold for disclosing these
components.11 The remaining items 1.g
and1.i through 1.l would be renumbered
as items 1.f through 1.j.
In addition, after reviewing the
agencies’ data needs along with industry
comments and feedback requesting a
higher threshold for disclosing
components of other noninterest income
and other noninterest expense in
Schedule RI–E, the agencies propose to
increase the percentage portion of the
existing threshold for reporting other
noninterest income components in
items 1.a through 1.j and other
noninterest expense components in
items 2.a through 2.p. The proposed
threshold for disclosing components of
other noninterest income and other
noninterest expense would be amounts
greater than $100,000 that exceed seven
percent of Schedule RI, item 5.l and
item 7.d, respectively.12 This percentage
is currently three percent. The agencies
considered alternative percentage
thresholds of five percent and ten
percent
ts in
items 2.a through 2.p. The proposed
threshold for disclosing components of
other noninterest income and other
noninterest expense would be amounts
greater than $100,000 that exceed seven
percent of Schedule RI, item 5.l and
item 7.d, respectively.12 This percentage
is currently three percent. The agencies
considered alternative percentage
thresholds of five percent and ten
percent. Upon evaluating the impact of
each percentage threshold, the agencies
determined that a percentage threshold
of seven percent would provide a
meaningful reduction in reporting
burden without a loss of data that would
be necessary for supervisory or other
public policy purposes.
Schedule RC
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to move the reporting of
goodwill from existing item 10.a on the
balance sheet to Schedule RC–M, item
2.b, and combine existing items 10.a
and 10.b on Schedule RC into a single
item 10. This would consolidate the
reporting of goodwill and other
intangible assets on Schedule RC into a
single balance sheet item for intangible
assets. This proposed revision to
Schedule RC was requested by a
commenter on the agencies’ August
2016 Call Report proposal to facilitate
institutions’ reporting by making their
Call Report processes more efficient and
better focused.13 While the agencies
believe the reporting and disclosure of
the amount of an institution’s goodwill
detail is important, the agencies are
indifferent as to the location of the
information in the Call Report.

For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to consolidate the reporting of
an institution’s holdings of U.S.
government agency obligations, which
are currently reported in items 2.a and
2.b, into a single item 2, and to

revisions to Schedule RC of the FFIEC 041, existing
item 2.b of Schedule RC–M would be replaced by
a revised item 2.b for reporting goodwill.
item 3 from quarterly to semiannual
(June 30 and December 31), as the
agencies no longer need these data items
in the Call Report as frequently. This
proposal is consistent with industry
comments and feedback recommending
a shorter reporting form for two of the
four quarters each year.14 The agencies
also propose to add a reporting
threshold of $10 billion or more in total
assets before institutions must complete
Memorandum items 5.a though 6.g,
columns A through D, as the agencies
no longer need this information in the
Call Report from institutions under this
proposed threshold

Schedule RC–C, Part I
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7.a,
7.b, 8.a, 8.b, 8.c, and 12.a through 12.d
(columns A through C) from quarterly to
semiannual (June 30 and December 31),
as the agencies no longer need these
loan data in the Call Report as
frequently. This proposal is consistent
with industry comments and feedback
recommending a shorter reporting form
for two of the four quarters each year.
Schedule RC–D
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to change the reporting
threshold for the overall schedule so
that the schedule would be applicable to
institutions with total trading assets of
$10 million or more in any of the four
preceding calendar quarters from the
current threshold of $2 million in
average trading assets over this same
period. In addition, all institutions
meeting the FDIC’s definition of a large
institution or a highly complex
institution for deposit insurance
assessment purposes would be required
to complete Schedule RC–D. The
agencies are proposing this reporting
threshold change because they no longer
need to collect this detailed data in the
Call Report from institutions with a
lesser amount of trading assets that are
not large or highly complex institutions
ition of a large

to complete Schedule RC–D. The
agencies are proposing this reporting
threshold change because they no longer
need to collect this detailed data in the
Call Report from institutions with a
lesser amount of trading assets that are
not large or highly complex institutions.
The agencies also propose to
consolidate:
• Structured financial products in
current items 5.a.(1) through 5.a.(3) into
a single new item 5.a;
• Loan detail in current items 6.a.(1),
6.a.(2), 6.a.(4), and 6.a.(5) into a single
new item 6.a.(2);
• Certain residential loan detail in
current items 6.a.(3)(a) through
6.a.(3)(b)(2) into a single new item
6.a.(1);
• Consumer loan information in items
6.c.(1) through 6.c.(4) into a single item
6.c;
• Loan detail in current
Memorandum items 1.a.(1), 1.a.(2),
1.a.(4), and 1.a.(5) into a single new
Memorandum item 1.a.(2);
• Certain residential loan detail in
current Memorandum items 1.a.(3)(a)
through 1.a.(3)(b)(2) into a single new
Memorandum item 1.a.(1); and
• Consumer loan information in
Memoranda items 1.c.(1) through 1.c.(4)
into a single new Memorandum item
1.c.
The agencies no longer need to collect
the existing level of detail in the Call
Report from those institutions that
would be required to complete Schedule
RC–D under its proposed revised
reporting threshold. The agencies also
propose to remove Memorandum items
2.a though 10, as the agencies no longer
need to collect the current level of detail
in the Call Report from institutions with
less than $100 billion in total assets.
Schedule RC–K
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to revise the reporting
threshold for item 7 on average trading
assets
er its proposed revised
reporting threshold. The agencies also
propose to remove Memorandum items
2.a though 10, as the agencies no longer
need to collect the current level of detail
in the Call Report from institutions with
less than $100 billion in total assets.
Schedule RC–K
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to revise the reporting
threshold for item 7 on average trading
assets. This item would only need to be
completed by institutions with $10
million or more in total trading assets in
any of the four preceding calendar
quarters and by all institutions meeting
the FDIC’s definition of a ‘‘large
institution’’ or a ‘‘highly complex
institution’’ for deposit insurance
assessment purposes. This proposed
revised reporting threshold is consistent
with the proposed threshold for
completing Schedule RC–D discussed
above. The agencies no longer need this
quarterly average in the Call Report
from institutions with less than $10
million in trading assets that are not
large or highly complex institutions.
Schedule RC–L
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to consolidate items 1.a.(1) and
1.a.(2) into a single item 1.a.(1), as the
agencies no longer need the current
level of detail in the Call Report for
these types of unused commitments.
The agencies also propose to remove
item 8 on spot foreign exchange
contracts, as the agencies no longer need
this information in the Call Report from
all institutions with assets less than
$100 billion. By removing item 8, spot
foreign exchange contracts would be
reported as part of an institution’s all
other off-balance sheet liabilities in item
9 of Schedule RC–L if the amount of
such contracts exceeds 10 percent of the
institution’s total equity capital. Spot
foreign exchange contracts would be
disclosed as a component of the
institution’s all other off-balance sheet
liabilities if the amount exceeds 25
percent of total equity capital
would be
reported as part of an institution’s all
other off-balance sheet liabilities in item
9 of Schedule RC–L if the amount of
such contracts exceeds 10 percent of the
institution’s total equity capital. Spot
foreign exchange contracts would be
disclosed as a component of the
institution’s all other off-balance sheet
liabilities if the amount exceeds 25
percent of total equity capital.
The agencies also propose to remove
columns B, C, and D, for items 16.a
through 16.b.(8), and instead include
these data on over-the-counter
derivatives within column E for
derivatives with all other
counterparties. The agencies no longer
need the separate detail in the Call
Report provided by the disaggregated
data on over-the-counter derivatives for
monoline financial guarantors, hedge
funds, and sovereign governments for
institutions filing the FFIEC 041. The
agencies also propose removing items
16.b.(4) though 16.b.(6) for the
remaining columns A and E, and
instead including the fair value of the
three types of securities collateral
currently reported in items 16.b.(4)
through 16.b.(6) within the collateral
amount reported in the respective
columns of item 16.b.(7). The agencies
no longer need the separate breakout of
these types of collateral in the Call
Report for institutions filing the FFIEC
041.
The agencies also propose to reduce
the reporting frequency of items 1.b.(1),
1.b.(2), 11.a, and 11.b from quarterly to
semiannual (June 30 and December 31),
as the agencies no longer need these
data in the Call Report as frequently.
This proposal is consistent with
industry comments and feedback
recommending a shorter reporting form
for two of the four quarters each year

Schedule RC–M
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to consolidate items 2.b and
2.c, which provide data on certain
identifiable intangible assets, into a
single item 2.c,15 and to consolidate
other real estate owned items 3.c and 3.f
into a single item 3.c, as the agencies no
longer need the current level of detail in
the Call Report that is provided in these
separate items. As discussed earlier
under Schedule RC, the agencies are
moving the goodwill amount formerly
reported in Schedule RC, item 10.a, to
a recaptioned item 2.b on Schedule RC–
M. The agencies also propose to reduce
the reporting frequency for items 9 (Web
site transactional capability), 14.a
(captive insurance subsidiary assets),
and 14.b (captive reinsurance subsidiary
assets) from quarterly to annual
(December 31), as the agencies no longer

noninterest income currently disclosed in item 1.f
or 1.h in an amount in excess of the reporting
threshold, it would itemize and describe this
component in one of the subitems of item 1 without
a preprinted caption.

Schedule RC–N
For the FFIEC 041, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7 and
8 on nonaccrual assets and
Memorandum items 9.a and 9.b
(columns A through C) on purchased
credit-impaired loans from quarterly to
semiannual (June 30 and December 31),
as the agencies no longer need these
data in the Call Report as frequently. In
connection with this proposed change,
Memorandum items 7 and 8 would
collect data on additions to nonaccrual
assets and nonaccrual asset sales,
respectively, during the preceding six
months rather than the preceding
quarter as at present. This proposal is
consistent with industry comments and
feedback recommending a shorter
reporting form for two of the four
quarters each year.
C. Revisions to the FFIEC 031
Scope Revision
The agencies propose to revise the
scope of the FFIEC 031 to require all
institutions with consolidated total
assets of $100 billion or more to file this
form, regardless of whether an
institution has any foreign offices. The
agencies are proposing this change
because institutions with consolidated
total assets of $100 billion or more
without foreign offices are considered to
have a similar degree of complexity in
their activities as institutions of this size
with foreign offices that currently file
the FFIEC 031.
Schedule RI
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to change the reporting
threshold for reporting information on
trading revenues in Memorandum items
8.a through 8.e
total assets of $100 billion or more
without foreign offices are considered to
have a similar degree of complexity in
their activities as institutions of this size
with foreign offices that currently file
the FFIEC 031.
Schedule RI
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to change the reporting
threshold for reporting information on
trading revenues in Memorandum items
8.a through 8.e. Currently, these items
are completed by institutions that
reported average trading assets of $2
million or more for any quarter of the
preceding calendar year. The agencies
propose to modify the reporting
threshold for Memorandum items 8.a
through 8.e to instruct that these items
be completed by institutions that
reported total trading assets of $10
million or more for any quarter of the
preceding calendar year, as the agencies
no longer need this level of detail in the
Call Report from institutions with lower
levels of trading assets. In addition, the
agencies propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum item 12 from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need this data in the Call Report as
frequently.
Schedule RI–D
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to change the reporting
threshold for completing this schedule.
Currently, this schedule is required to
be completed by an institution when its
foreign office revenues, assets, or net
income exceed 10 percent of
consolidated total revenues, total assets,
or net income. The agencies propose to
add an additional threshold that an
institution must have foreign office
assets of $10 billion or more and also
meet one of the three 10 percent tests
before the schedule is required, as the
agencies no longer need foreign office
income data in the Call Report from
institutions with a lesser amount of
foreign office assets
al revenues, total assets,
or net income. The agencies propose to
add an additional threshold that an
institution must have foreign office
assets of $10 billion or more and also
meet one of the three 10 percent tests
before the schedule is required, as the
agencies no longer need foreign office
income data in the Call Report from
institutions with a lesser amount of
foreign office assets.
Schedule RI–E
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to remove the preprinted
captions for items 1.f and 1.h, as few
institutions report having these
components of other noninterest income
in amounts in excess of the existing
reporting threshold for disclosing these
components.16 The remaining items 1.g
and 1.i through 1.l would be
renumbered as items 1.f through 1.j.
In addition, after reviewing the
agencies’ data needs along with industry
comments and feedback requesting a
higher threshold for disclosing
components of other noninterest income
and other noninterest expense in
Schedule RI–E, the agencies propose to
increase the percentage portion of the
existing threshold for reporting other
noninterest income components in
items 1.a through 1.j and other
noninterest expense components in
items 2.a through 2.p. The proposed
threshold for disclosing components of
other noninterest income and other
noninterest expense would be amounts
greater than $100,000 that exceed seven
percent of Schedule RI, item 5.l, and
item 7.d, respectively.17 This percentage
is currently three percent. The agencies
considered alternative percentage
thresholds of five percent and ten
percent. Upon evaluating the impact of
each percentage threshold, the agencies
determined that a percentage threshold
of seven percent would provide a
meaningful reduction in reporting
burden without a loss of data that would
be necessary for supervisory or other
public policy purposes

thresholds of five percent and ten
percent. Upon evaluating the impact of
each percentage threshold, the agencies
determined that a percentage threshold
of seven percent would provide a
meaningful reduction in reporting
burden without a loss of data that would
be necessary for supervisory or other
public policy purposes.
Schedule RC
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to move the reporting of
goodwill from existing item 10.a on the
balance sheet to Schedule RC–M, item
2.b (as discussed further below), and
combine existing items 10.a and 10.b on
Schedule RC into a single item 10. This
would consolidate the reporting of
goodwill and other intangible assets on
Schedule RC into a single balance sheet
item for intangible assets. This proposed
revision to Schedule RC was requested
by a commenter on the agencies’ August
2016 Call Report proposal to facilitate
institutions’ reporting by making their
Call Report processes more efficient and
better focused.18 While the agencies
believe the reporting and disclosure of
an institution’s goodwill detail is
important, the agencies are indifferent
as to the location of the information in
the Call Report.
Schedule RC–B
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to consolidate the reporting of
an institution’s holdings of U.S.
government agency obligations, which
are currently reported in items 2.a and
2.b, into a single item 2, and to
consolidate the reporting of structured
financial product holdings, which are
currently reported in items 5.b.(1)
through 5.b.(3), into a single item 5.b, as
the agencies no longer need the current
level of detail in the Call Report for
these holdings. Institutions would still
be required to report amortized cost and
fair value information in columns A
through D for the proposed items 2 and
5.b
date the reporting of structured
financial product holdings, which are
currently reported in items 5.b.(1)
through 5.b.(3), into a single item 5.b, as
the agencies no longer need the current
level of detail in the Call Report for
these holdings. Institutions would still
be required to report amortized cost and
fair value information in columns A
through D for the proposed items 2 and
5.b. The agencies also propose to reduce
the reporting frequency of the data on
sales and transfers of held-to-maturity
securities reported in Memorandum
item 3 from quarterly to semiannual
(June 30 and December 31), as the
agencies no longer need these data items
as frequently in the Call Report. The
agencies also propose to add a reporting
threshold of $10 billion or more in total
assets before institutions must complete
Memorandum items 5.a though 6.g,
columns A through D, as the agencies
no longer need this information in the
Call Report from institutions under this
proposed threshold.

19 As explained in the description of the proposed
revisions to Schedule RC of the FFIEC 031, existing
item 2.b of Schedule RC–M would be replaced by
a revised item 2.b for reporting goodwill.
Schedule RC–C, Part I
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7.a,
7.b, 8.a, 8.b, 8.c, and 12.a through 12.d
(columns A through C) from quarterly to
semiannual (June 30 and December 31),

loan data in the Call Report as

RC–M would be replaced by
a revised item 2.b for reporting goodwill.
Schedule RC–C, Part I
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to reduce the reporting
frequency of Memorandum items 7.a,
7.b, 8.a, 8.b, 8.c, and 12.a through 12.d
(columns A through C) from quarterly to
semiannual (June 30 and December 31),
as the agencies no longer need these
loan data in the Call Report as
frequently.
Schedule RC–D
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to change the reporting
threshold for the overall schedule so
that the schedule would be applicable to
institutions with total trading assets of
$10 million or more in any of the four
preceding calendar quarters from the
current threshold of $2 million or more
in average trading assets over this same
period. In addition, all institutions
meeting the FDIC’s definition of a large
institution or a highly complex
institution for deposit insurance
assessment purposes would be required
to complete Schedule RC–D. The
agencies are proposing this reporting
threshold change because they no longer
need to collect the existing detailed data
in the Call Report from institutions with
a lesser amount of trading assets that are
not large or highly complex institutions.
The agencies also propose to
consolidate:
• Structured financial products in
items 5.a.(1) through 5.a.(3) into a single
item 5.a;
• Loan detail in current items 6.a.(1),
6.a.(2), 6.a.(4), and 6.a.(5) into a single
new item 6.a.(2);
• Certain residential loan detail in
current items 6.a.(3)(a) through
6.a.(3)(b)(2) into a single new item
6.a.(1);
• Consumer loan information in items
6.c.(1) through 6.c.(4) into a single item
6.c;
• Loan detail in Memorandum items
1.a.(1), 1.a.(2), 1.a.(4), and 1.a.(5) into a
single new Memorandum item 1.a.(2);
• Certain residential loan detail in
Memorandum items 1.a.(3)(a) through
1.a.(3)(b)(2) into a single new
Memorandum item 1.a.(1); and
• Consumer loan information in
Memorandum items 1.c.(1) through

• Certain residential loan detail in
Memorandum items 1.a.(3)(a) through
1.a.(3)(b)(2) into a single new
Memorandum item 1.a.(1); and
• Consumer loan information in
Memorandum items 1.c.(1) through
1.c.(4) into a single new Memorandum
item 1.c.
The agencies no longer need to collect
the current level of detail in the Call
Report from those institutions that
would be required to complete Schedule
RC–D under its proposed revised
reporting threshold.
The agencies also propose to remove
column B (domestic offices) for all items
on Schedule RC–D, except for items 12
and 15 on total trading assets and total
trading liabilities in domestic offices,
respectively, which will be moved to
Schedule RC–H, Selected Balance Sheet
Items for Domestic Offices. In addition,
the agencies would replace the detailed
data on loans held for trading in
domestic offices that is reported in
items 6.a.(1) through 6.d, column B, of
Schedule RC–D with a single new item
for total loans held for trading in
domestic offices that would be added to
Schedule RC–H. The agencies propose
these changes as they no longer need
separately reported data in the Call
Report on assets and liabilities held for
trading in domestic offices other than
for the three items on total trading
assets, total trading liabilities, and total
loans held for trading in domestic
offices that would be reported in
Schedule RC–H. Institutions would
continue to report amounts in Schedule
RC–D only for the consolidated entity,
which they currently report in column
A
Call
Report on assets and liabilities held for
trading in domestic offices other than
for the three items on total trading
assets, total trading liabilities, and total
loans held for trading in domestic
offices that would be reported in
Schedule RC–H. Institutions would
continue to report amounts in Schedule
RC–D only for the consolidated entity,
which they currently report in column
A.
In addition, the agencies propose to
add a reporting threshold of $10 billion
or more in total trading assets before an
institution would be required to
complete Memorandum items 2.a
though 5.f and 7.a through 10, as the
agencies no longer need this level of
detail in the Call Report from
institutions with a lesser amount of
trading assets. The agencies also
propose to remove Memorandum item
6, as the agencies no longer need this
information.
Schedule RC–H
For the FFIEC 031, in connection with
removing the separate detail for trading
assets and liabilities in domestic offices
from Schedule RC–D, the agencies
propose to retain and relocate selected
data items to Schedule RC–H, Selected
Balance Sheet Items for Domestic
Offices. As noted above, the agencies
propose relocating total trading assets
and total trading liabilities in domestic
offices from Schedule RC–D, column B,
items 12 and 15, to Schedule RC–H,
new items 19 and 20, respectively. Also,
the agencies propose to aggregate all
loans held for trading in domestic
offices currently reported on Schedule
RC–D, column B, items 6.a through 6.d
(including all subitems), into a single
new item, Schedule RC–H, item 21.
These three items would be completed
by institutions that reported total
trading assets of $10 million or more in
any of the four preceding calendar
quarters and by all institutions meeting
the FDIC’s definition of a large or highly
complex institution for deposit
insurance assessment purposes
items 6.a through 6.d
(including all subitems), into a single
new item, Schedule RC–H, item 21.
These three items would be completed
by institutions that reported total
trading assets of $10 million or more in
any of the four preceding calendar
quarters and by all institutions meeting
the FDIC’s definition of a large or highly
complex institution for deposit
insurance assessment purposes. The
agencies believe relocating this data
from Schedule RC–D to Schedule RC–H
will improve efficiency by consolidating
additional domestic office information
on Schedule RC–H.
Schedule RC–K
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to add a reporting threshold for
item 7 on average trading assets. This
item would only need to be completed
by institutions with $10 million or more
in total trading assets in any of the four
preceding calendar quarters and by all
institutions meeting the FDIC’s
definition of a ‘‘large institution’’ or a
‘‘highly complex institution’’ for deposit
insurance assessment purposes. This
proposed new reporting threshold is
consistent with the proposed revised
threshold for completing Schedule RC–
D discussed above. The agencies no
longer need this information in the Call
Report each quarter from institutions
with less than $10 million in trading
assets that are not large or highly
complex institutions.
Schedule RC–L
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to consolidate items 1.a.(1) and
1.a.(2) into a single item 1.a.(1), as the
agencies no longer need the current
level of detail for these types of unused
commitments. The agencies also
propose to remove column B for items
16.a through 16.b.(8), and instead
include these data on over-the-counter
derivatives within column E for
derivatives with all other
counterparties. The agencies no longer
need the separate detail in the Call
Report provided by the disaggregated
data on over-the-counter derivatives for
monoline financial guarantors in
column B
ents. The agencies also
propose to remove column B for items
16.a through 16.b.(8), and instead

derivatives within column E for
derivatives with all other
counterparties. The agencies no longer

Report provided by the disaggregated
data on over-the-counter derivatives for
monoline financial guarantors in
column B. The agencies also propose to
reduce the reporting frequency of items
1.b.(1), 1.b.(2), 11.a, and 11.b from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer
need these data in the Call Report as
frequently.
Schedule RC–M
For the FFIEC 031, the agencies
propose to consolidate items 2.b and
2.c, which provide data on certain
intangible assets, into a single item
2.c,19 and to consolidate other real
estate owned items 3.c and 3.f into a
single item 3.c, as the agencies no longer
need the current level of detail in the
Call Report that is provided in these
separate items. As discussed earlier
under Schedule RC, the agencies are

Memorandum items 9.a and 9.b on
purchased credit-impaired loans from
quarterly to semiannual (June 30 and
December 31), as the agencies no longer

frequently. In connection with this
proposed change, Memorandum items 7
and 8 would collect data on additions
to nonaccrual assets and nonaccrual
asset sales, respectively, during the
preceding six months rather than the
preceding quarter as at present.
D. Additional Proposed Revisions to All
Versions of the Call Report
1. Instructional Revision for the
Reporting of Assets as ‘‘Past Due’’
Under the current Call Report
instructions, closed-end installment
loans, amortizing loans secured by real
estate, and any other loans and lease
financing receivables with payments
scheduled monthly are to be reported as
past due in Schedule RC–N, Past Due
and Nonaccrual Loans, Leases, and
Other Assets, when the borrower is in
arrears two or more monthly payments.
This has been interpreted to mean that
a loan is to be reported as past due if
two monthly payments have not been
received by the close of business on the
due date of the second monthly
payment. Similarly, the Call Report
instructions provide that open-end
credit such as credit cards, check credit,
and other revolving credit plans are to
be reported as past due when the
customer has not made the minimum
payment for two or more billing cycles
reported as past due if
two monthly payments have not been
received by the close of business on the
due date of the second monthly
payment. Similarly, the Call Report
instructions provide that open-end
credit such as credit cards, check credit,
and other revolving credit plans are to
be reported as past due when the
customer has not made the minimum
payment for two or more billing cycles.
The instructions also provide that, at an
institution’s option, loans and leases
with payments scheduled monthly may
be reported as past due when one
scheduled payment is due and unpaid
for 30 days or more.
The agencies note there is an existing
widely used industry standard, known
as the Mortgage Bankers Association
(MBA) method, which provides that
loans with payments scheduled
monthly become 30 days past due if a
monthly payment is not received by the
end of the day immediately preceding
the loan’s next due date. The agencies
understand that the MBA method is
used by most major mortgage data
repositories, including the three major
credit bureaus and two major mortgage
loan data processing service bureaus
used by institutions. The MBA method
is also used by reporting forums such as
the MBA, McDash Analytics, and the
OCC Mortgage Metrics Reports.
Therefore, to promote the use of a
consistent standard in the industry and
reduce the burden for certain
institutions calculating past-due loans
under two methods, i.e., one method for
Call Report purposes and a different
method for other reporting purposes, the
agencies propose to modify the
definition of ‘‘past due’’ for regulatory
reporting purposes that is currently
contained in the general instructions of
Schedule RC–N to align with the MBA
method.20 Specifically, closed-end
installment loans, amortizing loans
secured by real estate, and any other
loans and lease financing receivables
with payments scheduled monthly, as
well as open-end credit such as credit
cards, check credit, and other revolving
credit plans with payments sc
es that is currently
contained in the general instructions of
Schedule RC–N to align with the MBA
method.20 Specifically, closed-end
installment loans, amortizing loans
secured by real estate, and any other
loans and lease financing receivables
with payments scheduled monthly, as
well as open-end credit such as credit
cards, check credit, and other revolving
credit plans with payments scheduled
monthly, would be reported as past due
in Schedule RC–N if a payment is not
received by the end of the day
immediately preceding the loan’s next
payment due date. For institutions with
consolidated assets of more than $50
billion, the agencies estimate that using
the MBA method to report loans as 30
through 89 day past due in the Call
Report would have resulted in
approximately $15 billion in additional
loans being reported as past due as of
December 31, 2015, compared to the
amount of loans reported as past due in
accordance with the current Call Report
instructions.
The following are examples of the
application of this proposed revised
past due definition:
• A monthly loan payment is due
April 1. With no payment received by
the end of the day on April 30, which
is the day immediately preceding the
loan’s next payment due date, the loan
would be considered 30 days past due
for reporting purposes as of April 30.
With no monthly payment received by
May 31, the loan would be 61 days past
due as of May 31. With no monthly
payment received by June 30, the loan
would be 91 days past due as June 30.
For the June 30 Call Report, this loan
would be reported in the 90 days or
more past due category (unless it had
been placed in nonaccrual status).
• A monthly loan payment is due
April 15. With no payment received by
April 30, the loan is not a full month
past due, so it would not be considered
past due for regulatory reporting
purposes until May 14, which is the day
immediately preceding the loan’s next
payment due date
an
would be reported in the 90 days or
more past due category (unless it had
been placed in nonaccrual status).
• A monthly loan payment is due
April 15. With no payment received by
April 30, the loan is not a full month
past due, so it would not be considered
past due for regulatory reporting
purposes until May 14, which is the day
immediately preceding the loan’s next
payment due date. The loan will be 46
days past due if payment has not been
received as of May 31 and 76 days past
due if payment has not been received as
of June 30. For the June 30 Call Report,
this loan would be reported in the 30
through 89 days past due category
(unless it had been placed in nonaccrual
status).
The agencies believe that aligning the
Call Report method for determining past
due status with an accepted industry
standard for determining past due status
(i.e., the MBA method) would lessen the
burden imposed on institutions that
maintain two separate processes for
reporting loan delinquencies. Further,
the agencies believe that consistent
reporting on the past due status of loans
is increasingly important as institutions
plan their implementation of a new
accounting standard on credit losses.
The agencies invite comment on any
difficulties that institutions would
encounter in applying this proposed
modified past due definition beginning
as of the March 31, 2018, report date.

minus changes resulting from
observable price changes in orderly
transactions for the identical or a similar
investment of the same issuer.’’
Institutions must apply ASU 2016–01
for Call Report purposes in accordance
with the effective dates set forth in the
ASU. For institutions that are public
business entities, as defined in U.S.
GAAP, ASU 2016–01 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2017, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. For example,
an institution with a calendar year fiscal
year that is a public business entity
must begin to apply ASU 2016–01 in its
Call Report for March 31, 2018. For all
other institutions, the ASU is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2018, and interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019. For example, an institution
with a calendar year fiscal year that is
not a public business entity must begin
to apply ASU 2016–01 in its Call Report
for December 31, 2019.
One outcome of the change in
accounting for equity investments under
ASU 2016–01 is the elimination of the
concept of available-for-sale (AFS)
equity securities, which are measured at
fair value on the balance sheet with
changes in fair value recognized through
other comprehensive income
ot a public business entity must begin
to apply ASU 2016–01 in its Call Report
for December 31, 2019.
One outcome of the change in
accounting for equity investments under
ASU 2016–01 is the elimination of the
concept of available-for-sale (AFS)
equity securities, which are measured at
fair value on the balance sheet with
changes in fair value recognized through
other comprehensive income. At
present, the historical cost and fair
value of AFS equity securities, i.e.,
investments in mutual funds and other
equity securities with readily
determinable fair values that are not
held for trading, are reported in Call
Report Schedule RC–B, item 7, columns
C and D, respectively. The total fair
value of AFS securities, which includes
both debt and equity securities, is then
carried forward to the Call Report
balance sheet and reported in Schedule
RC, item 2.b. In the FFIEC 041 and
FFIEC 031 Call Reports, the total fair
value of AFS securities reported in
Schedule RC, item 2.b, also is reported
in item 1, column A, of Schedule RC–
Q, Assets and Liabilities Measured at
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis, by
institutions required to complete this
schedule.21 These institutions then
report in columns C, D, and E of item
1 a breakdown of their AFS debt
securities by the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value
amounts of these securities fall (Level 1,
2, or 3). Any balance sheet netting
adjustments to these fair value amounts
are reported in column B of item 1.
In addition, the total fair value of AFS
securities is reported in Schedule RC–R,
Part II, for risk-weighting purposes
under the agencies’ regulatory capital
rules. This fair value amount is reported
in Schedule RC–R, Part II, item 2.b,
column A, except for the fair value of
those AFS securities that qualify as
securitization exposures, which is
reported in Schedule RC–R, Part II, item
9.b, column A
the total fair value of AFS
securities is reported in Schedule RC–R,
Part II, for risk-weighting purposes
under the agencies’ regulatory capital
rules. This fair value amount is reported
in Schedule RC–R, Part II, item 2.b,
column A, except for the fair value of
those AFS securities that qualify as
securitization exposures, which is
reported in Schedule RC–R, Part II, item
9.b, column A. To the extent
appropriate under the regulatory capital
rules, adjustments to the fair values
reported in column A of items 2.b and
9.b are reported in column B. The
adjusted amount in item 2.b is then
allocated to the appropriate risk-weight
category in columns C through N. The
adjusted amount of AFS securitization
exposures in item 9.b is reported by
risk-weight category in column Q or by
risk-weighted asset amount in column T
or U based on the risk-weighting
approach or approaches applied by an
institution.
At present, the accumulated balance
of the unrealized gains (losses) on AFS
equity securities, net of applicable
income taxes, that have been recognized
through other comprehensive income is
included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI), which is
reported in the equity capital section of
the Call Report balance sheet in
Schedule RC, item 26.b. With the
elimination of AFS equity securities on
the effective date of ASU 2016–01, the
net unrealized gains (losses) on these
securities that had been included in
AOCI will be reclassified (transferred)
from AOCI into the retained earnings
component of equity capital, which is
reported on the Call Report balance
sheet in Schedule RC, item 26.a. After
the effective date, changes in the fair
value of (i.e., the unrealized gains and
losses on) an institution’s equity
securities that would have been
classified as AFS had the previously
applicable accounting standards
remained in effect will be recognized
through net income rather than other

sheet in Schedule RC, item 26.a. After
the effective date, changes in the fair
value of (i.e., the unrealized gains and
losses on) an institution’s equity
securities that would have been
classified as AFS had the previously
applicable accounting standards
remained in effect will be recognized
through net income rather than other
comprehensive income.
The effect of the elimination of AFS
equity securities as a distinct asset
category upon institutions’
implementation of ASU 2016–01 carries
over to the agencies’ regulatory capital
rules. Under these rules, institutions
that are eligible to and have elected to
make the AOCI opt-out election deduct
net unrealized losses on AFS equity
securities from common equity tier 1
capital and include 45 percent of pretax
net unrealized gains on AFS equity
securities in tier 2 capital. For purposes
of reporting regulatory capital
components and ratios in the Call
Report, the deduction of these net
unrealized losses is currently effected
through the combination of Schedule
RC–R, Part I, items 9.a, ‘‘LESS: Net
unrealized gains (losses) on available-
for-sale securities,’’ and 9.b, ‘‘LESS: Net
unrealized loss on available-for-sale
preferred stock classified as an equity
security under GAAP and available-for-
sale equity exposures.’’ The inclusion of
45 percent of pretax net unrealized
gains in tier 2 capital currently occurs
through the reporting of this percentage
of an institution’s gains in Schedule
RC–R, Part I, item 31, ‘‘Unrealized gains
on available-for-sale preferred stock
classified as an equity security under
GAAP and available-for-sale equity
exposures includable in tier 2 capital.’’
When ASU 2016–01 takes effect and the
classification of equity securities as AFS
is eliminated for accounting and
reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP,
the concept of unrealized gains and
losses on AFS equity securities will
likewise cease to exist

classification of equity securities as AFS
is eliminated for accounting and
reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP,
the concept of unrealized gains and
losses on AFS equity securities will
likewise cease to exist.
Another outcome of the change in
accounting for equity investments under
ASU 2016–01 is that equity securities
and other equity investments without
readily determinable fair values that are
within the scope of ASU 2016–01 and
are not held for trading must be
measured at fair value through net
income, rather than at cost (less
impairment, if any), unless the
measurement election described above
is applied to individual equity
investments. In general, institutions
currently report their holdings of such
equity securities without readily
determinable fair values as a category of
other assets in Call Report Schedule
RC–F, item 4. The total amount of an
institution’s other assets is reported on
the Call Report balance sheet in
Schedule RC, item 11.
At present, AFS equity securities and
equity investments without readily
determinable fair values are included in
the quarterly averages reported in
Schedule RC–K. Institutions report the
quarterly average for ‘‘All other
securities’’ in item 4 of this schedule
and this average reflects AFS equity
securities at historical cost. A quarterly
average for total assets is reported in
item 9 of Schedule RC–K. Among its
uses, average total assets serves as the
starting point for determining the
denominator for the tier 1 leverage ratio

rules. The quarterly average for total
assets currently reflects AFS equity

historical cost.
Finally, institutions with foreign
offices report the fair value of their AFS
equity securities in domestic offices and
the historical cost of their equity
securities without readily determinable
fair values in domestic offices in
Schedule RC–H, items 16 and 18,
respectively, of the FFIEC 031 Call
Report. The domestic office holdings of
these equity securities are components
of the AFS equity securities and equity
securities without readily determinable
fair values reported on a consolidated
basis in Schedule RC–B, item 7, and
Schedule RC–F, item 4, respectively.
The agencies have considered the
changes to the accounting for equity
investments under ASU 2016–01 and
the effect of these changes on the
manner in which data on equity
securities and other equity investments
is currently reported in the Call Report.
The agencies also note that, because of
the different effective dates for ASU
2016–01 for public business entities and
all other entities, as well as the varying
fiscal years across the population of
institutions that file Call Reports, the
period over which institutions will be
implementing this ASU ranges from the
first quarter of 2018 through the fourth
quarter of 2020. December 31, 2020, will
be the first quarter-end Call Report date
as of which all institutions would be
required to prepare their Call Reports in

fiscal years across the population of

as of which all institutions would be
required to prepare their Call Reports in
accordance with ASU 2016–01. As a
result, the agencies are proposing
revisions to the reporting of information
on equity securities and other equity
investments in response to the ASU that
would be introduced in the Call Report
effective March 31, 2018, but would not
be fully phased in until the Call Report
for December 31, 2020. In developing
these proposed Call Report revisions,
the agencies have followed the guiding
principles for evaluating potential
additions and deletions of Call Report
data items and other revisions to the
Call Report identified in Section I
above. In following these principles, the
agencies have sought to limit the
number of data items being added to the
Call Report to address the changes in
accounting for equity securities and
other equity investments.
The proposed Call Report revisions
related to equity securities are as
follows:
(1) To provide transparency to the
effect of unrealized gains and losses on
equity securities not held for trading on
an institution’s net income during the
year-to-date reporting period in
Schedule RI, Income Statement, and to
clearly distinguish these gains and
losses from the rest of an institution’s
income (loss) from its continuing
operations, Schedule RI, item 8, would
be revised effective March 31, 2018, by
creating new items 8.a, ‘‘Income (loss)
before unrealized holding gains (losses)
on equity securities not held for trading,
applicable income taxes, and
discontinued operations,’’ and 8.b,
‘‘Unrealized holding gains (losses) on
equity securities not held for trading.’’
In addition to unrealized holding gains
(losses) during the year-to-date re
ould
be revised effective March 31, 2018, by
creating new items 8.a, ‘‘Income (loss)
before unrealized holding gains (losses)
on equity securities not held for trading,
applicable income taxes, and
discontinued operations,’’ and 8.b,
‘‘Unrealized holding gains (losses) on
equity securities not held for trading.’’
In addition to unrealized holding gains
(losses) during the year-to-date reporting
period on such equity securities with
readily determinable fair values,
institutions also would report in
proposed new item 8.b the year-to-date
changes in the carrying amounts of
equity investments without readily
determinable fair values not held for
trading (i.e., unrealized holding gains
(losses) for those measured at fair value
through earnings; impairment, if any,
plus or minus changes resulting from
observable price changes for those
equity investments for which this
measurement election is made). Existing
Schedule RI, item 8, ‘‘Income (loss)
before applicable income taxes and
discontinued operations,’’ would be
renumbered as item 8.c, and would be
the sum of items 8.a and 8.b. From
March 31, 2018, through September 30,
2020, the instructions for item 8.b and
the reporting form for Schedule RI
would include guidance stating that
item 8.b is to be completed only by
institutions that have adopted ASU
2016–01. Institutions that have not
adopted ASU 2016–01 would leave item
8.b blank when completing Schedule RI.
Finally, from March 31, 2018, through
September 30, 2020, the instructions for
Schedule RI, item 6.b, ‘‘Realized gains
(losses) on available-for-sale securities,’’
and the reporting form for Schedule RI
would include guidance stating that, for
institutions that have adopted ASU
2016–01, item 6.b includes realized
gains (losses) only on AFS debt
securities. Effective December 31, 2020,
the caption for item 6.b would be
revised to ‘‘Realized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale debt securities.’’

and the reporting form for Schedule RI
would include guidance stating that, for
institutions that have adopted ASU
2016–01, item 6.b includes realized
gains (losses) only on AFS debt
securities. Effective December 31, 2020,
the caption for item 6.b would be
revised to ‘‘Realized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale debt securities.’’
(2) On the FFIEC 031, certain
institutions with foreign offices must
complete Schedule RI–D, Income from
Foreign Offices. As stated in the
instructions for Schedule RI–D, ‘‘[f]or
the most part, the income and expense
items in Schedule RI–D mirror
categories of income and expense
reported in Schedule RI.’’ However,
Schedule RI–D collects much less detail
on an institution’s income and expense
than Schedule RI. The instructions for
Schedule RI would be revised effective
March 31, 2018, to indicate that, for
institutions that have adopted ASU
2016–01, the amount of unrealized
holding gains (losses) on equity
securities not held for trading in foreign
offices that is included in Schedule RI,
item 8.b, should be reported in
Schedule RI–D, item 5, ‘‘Realized gains
(losses) on held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities in foreign
offices.’’ Effective December 31, 2020,
the caption for item 5 would be revised
to ‘‘Realized gains (losses) on held-to-
maturity and available-for-sale debt
securities and unrealized holding gains
(losses) on equity securities not held for
trading in foreign offices.’’
d in
Schedule RI–D, item 5, ‘‘Realized gains

available-for-sale securities in foreign

the caption for item 5 would be revised
to ‘‘Realized gains (losses) on held-to-
maturity and available-for-sale debt
securities and unrealized holding gains
(losses) on equity securities not held for
trading in foreign offices.’’
(3) In Schedule RC, Balance Sheet, a
new item 2.c, ‘‘Equity securities with
readily determinable fair values not
held for trading,’’ would be added
effective March 31, 2018. From March
31, 2018, through September 30, 2020,
the instructions for item 2.c and the
reporting form for Schedule RC would
include guidance stating that item 2.c is
to be completed only by institutions that
have adopted ASU 2016–01. Institutions
that have not adopted ASU 2016–01
would leave item 2.c blank. During this
period, the instructions for Schedule
RC, item 2.b, ‘‘Available-for-sale
securities,’’ would explain that
institutions that have adopted ASU
2016 01 should include only debt
securities in item 2.b. Effective
December 31, 2020, the caption for item
2.b would be revised to ‘‘Available-for-
sale debt securities’’ and all institutions
would report their holdings of equity
securities with readily determinable fair
values not held for trading in item 2.c.
(4) In Schedule RC–B, Securities, item
7, ‘‘Investments in mutual funds and
