Agency Rule-Making & Guidance OCC Federal Reserve FDIC Call Report

On September 28, the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, and OCC (the Agencies)—with the approval of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)—published a joint notice and request for comment proposing to extend and revise currently approved collections of information for: (i) Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports) for certain banks (FFIEC 031, 041, 051); (ii) Reports of Assets and Liabilities for branches and agencies of foreign banks (FFIEC 002, 002S); (iii) Foreign Branch Reports of Condition (FFIEC 030, 030S); and (iv) the Regulatory Capital Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework (FFIEC 101). Among other things, the proposed revisions generally address the revised accounting for credit losses described within Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, and include reporting changes for regulatory capital related to the Agencies’ current expected credit losses methodology.

The revisions would begin taking effect March 31, 2019, for quarterly report date respondents; December 31, 2022, for annual report date respondents; and on later dates for certain respondents. Comments must be submitted by November 27.
