The enclosed materials pertain to the Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) for the June 30, 2000, report date. Please complete your second quarter Call Report, review it for accuracy, and submit the report electronically as soon as possible. Your completed report must be received by July 30, 2000, in accordance with the filing requirements discussed below. No extensions of time for submitting reports are granted. If you complete the preparation and review of your report before July 30, please file the report as early as possible rather than waiting until the submission deadline. Should you later find that certain information needs to be revised, please make the appropriate changes to the report and promptly submit the revised Call Report data file electronically. Early submission aids the banking agencies in editing and reviewing the reports. In the Call Report for this quarter, banks are required to report the number and amount currently outstanding of loans to small businesses and small farms (Schedule RC-C, part II). This annual schedule is mandated by Section 122 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. To ensure that your bank properly reports these loan data, please have the person responsible for completing this schedule review the applicable section of your Call Report instruction book and the guidance concerning Schedule RC-C, part II, in the enclosed Supplemental Instructions. In addition, banks must report the number of deposit accounts of $100,000 or less in the deposit insurance assessments schedule this quarter (Schedule RC-O, Memorandum item 1.a.(2)). This information is collected only as of the June 30 report date each year, while the other Schedule RC-O items on the number and size of deposit accounts are completed quarterly. A sample set of June 30, 2000, report forms is enclosed for your reference. Sample forms also are available on both the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's Web site (www.ffiec.gov) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC's) Web site (www.fdic.gov). A paper copy of the Call Report forms, including the cover (signature) page, can be printed from the Web sites. In addition, banks that use Call Report software generally can print paper copies of blank forms from their software. Each bank must file its June 30, 2000, Call Report in one of the following two ways:
The filing of a Call Report that is submitted electronically to EDS by modem will be considered timely if it is transmitted to EDS no later than July 30, 2000. A bank using the paper-based alternative method must ensure that the party that is converting its report to electronic form has sufficient time to convert and transmit the report to EDS by this date. A bank that submits its Call Report to EDS on a computer diskette must make sure that the diskette is properly addressed, mailed first class, and postmarked on or before July 27, 2000, to be considered filed on time. (A "Certificate of Mailing," U.S. Postal Service Form 3817, may also be used as proof of mailing.) Alternatively, a bank may send the diskette using an overnight delivery system no later than July 29, 2000. Any Call Report sent to EDS on a computer diskette that EDS cannot read will not be accepted and the bank must resubmit its report in readable form. This may result in EDS receiving the bank's Call Report data file after the submission deadline. A bank that has or has had more than one foreign office, other than a "shell" branch or an International Banking Facility, is permitted an additional 15 days to complete its Call Report. Such a bank is required to electronically transmit its report to EDS no later than August 14, 2000. For further information or assistance concerning the Call Reports, state member banks should contact their Federal Reserve District Bank. National and FDIC-supervised banks should telephone the FDIC's Reports Analysis and Quality Control Section in Washington, D.C., toll free at (800) 688-FDIC (3342) or at (202) 898-6607, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Thank you for your cooperation.
