Summary:
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 to the reporting on (1) loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans, (2) guaranteed structured financial products, and (3) proposed long–term debt requirements. The proposed revisions to the FFIEC 002 report form and instructions relate to the reporting on the loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans.
Statement of Applicability: The contents of, and material referenced in, this FIL apply to all FDIC–insured financial institutions.
On December 27, 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.
As described more fully in the attached Federal Register notice, the proposed revisions to the reporting forms and instructions for the Call Reports relate to the reporting on (1) loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans, (2) guaranteed structured financial products, and (3) proposed long–term debt requirements. The proposed revisions to the FFIEC 002 report form and instructions relate to the reporting on the loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans.
In addition, the agencies are requesting comment on a proposal to adopt ongoing standards for electronic signatures to comply with the Call Report signature and attestation requirement.
These proposed changes would be effective as of the June 30, 2024, report date, except for those related to the proposed long–term debt requirements that would take effect the same quarter as the effective date of any final rule.
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 February 26, 2024.
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 .
