Summary:
On February 21, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (collectively, the agencies), under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), published proposed regulatory reporting changes in the Federal Register for public comment. These proposed changes apply to all three versions of the Call Report (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051) and to the Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002), as applicable, and are proposed to take effect as of the June 30, 2023, report date.
As described more fully in the attached Federal Register notice, the proposed revisions to the reporting forms and instructions for the Call Reports and the FFIEC 002 relate primarily to the statutorily mandated review of the Call Reports. Section 604 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 requires that the agencies review information collected in the Call Reports to reduce or eliminate any requirement to file certain information or schedules if the continued collection of such information or schedules is no longer necessary or appropriate. The changes to eliminate and consolidate items in the Call Reports included in the attached proposal result from the agencies’ evaluation of responses to a user survey covering all the Call Report schedules, similar to the group of surveys the agencies conducted as part of the previous statutorily mandated review.
Additionally, the agencies are requesting comment on certain technical clarifications made in June 2022 related to the reporting of certain debt securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and proposed Call Report process revisions.
The agencies encourage you to review the proposed regulatory reporting revisions and comment on those aspects of interest to you. You may send comments on this reporting proposal to any or all of the agencies by the methods described in the attached Federal Register notice. Comments must be submitted by April 24, 2023.
Redlined copies of the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051 Call Report forms showing the proposed changes and the related draft reporting instructions will be available on the FFIEC’s webpages for these reports, which can be accessed from the FFIEC’s Reporting Forms webpage.
Please share this letter with individuals responsible for preparing Call Reports at your institution. For further information about the proposed Call Report changes, institutions should contact their assigned Call Report analyst. If you do not know the analyst assigned to your institution, state member institutions should contact their Federal Reserve District Bank, while national institutions, FDIC-supervised banks, and savings associations should contact the FDIC's Data Collection and Analysis Section in Washington, D.C., by telephone at (800) 688-FDIC (3342) or email to FDICInfoReq@fdic.gov .
