Institutions with branch offices are required to submit this survey to the FDIC by July 31, 2014. Institutions with only a main office are exempt; however, they will be included in the survey results based on the total deposits reported on their June Call Report. Publication of the survey data is dependent on timely and accurate filing by respondent institutions; therefore, no filing extensions will be granted.

Using the FDIC's Interactive SOD Survey Option – The FDIC's interactive SOD survey option is designed for institutions with a small number of branch offices. This option permits an institution to print worksheets, submit revised branch office structure information with the survey, and edit SOD data in preparation for submission. Institutions may access the SOD survey site from the FDIC connect Web site at https://www.fdicconnect.gov/.

Data Accuracy and Validation 

Institutions must ensure that all information submitted for the SOD survey is accurate. The FDIC recommends that institutions submit their June 30, 2014, Call Report before filing the SOD survey to enable comparisons of deposit totals between the two reports.

Before completing the SOD survey, institutions should review their current branch office information on the FDIC's Institution Directory (ID) Web site at https://banks.data.fdic.gov/bankfind-suite/bankfind (or go to www.fdic.gov → Industry Analysis → Bank Data & Statistics → Institution Directory). From the ID home page, click on "Find Offices," enter the bank's certificate number or institution name, then click on "Find." The list of branch offices will be presented in state and county order.

Institutions should review the service type codes and the physical address, including the street address, city, state, zip code, and county, for all branch office locations to ensure consistency with U.S. Postal Service standards. Physical addresses, including zip codes and counties, may be verified at http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/. Institutions should not use post office boxes, mailing addresses other than the actual physical address, street names without actual numbers, intersections, or any other general locations when filing their branch office location information.

If an institution's branch office information is incorrect or incomplete, the institution should notify the FDIC with the correct branch office information.

Before June 16, 2014, institutions may e-mail corrections to the FDIC's Data Collection and Analysis Section at sod@fdic.gov. If you choose this method, then you must wait until the structure changes are reflected in the interactive filing option or request that your vendor software be synchronized with the most up-to-date information available in FDIC connect before filing your SOD survey.

Beginning June 16, 2014, corrections to structure data should be entered using the FDIC's interactive SOD survey site or vendor software and submitted with the completed SOD survey. If an institution corrects branch office information because of a merger or branch office purchase and assumption, the name, city, and state of the other institution involved in the transaction and the effective date of the transaction must be included in the e-mail notification or within the "comments" section of the survey.

Electronic Amendments 

Once the initial 2014 SOD survey information has been submitted, institutions can amend 2014 deposit totals by accessing the SOD transaction within FDIC connect until September 19, 2014. Institutions that have previously filed using FDIC connect will also be able to amend 2013 deposit totals until September 19, 2014, after which no further changes to 2013 data will be permitted through this process. To submit amended data , institution users must be assigned SOD transaction privileges within FDIC connect .
