The FR 2225 was implemented in March
1986 as part of the procedures used to administer the Federal
Reserve's Payments System Risk (PSR) policy. A key component of the
PSR policy is a limit, or a net debit cap, on an institutions
negative intraday balance in its Reserve Bank account. The Federal
Reserve calculates an institutions net debit cap by applying the
multiple associated with the net debit cap category to the
institutions capital. For foreign banking organizations (FBOs), a
percentage of the FBOs capital measure, known as the U.S. capital
equivalency, is used to calculate the FBOs net debit cap. The FR
2225 reporting form collects information needed to identify the
respondent and its fiscal year end and to determine its capital and
assets for purposes of daylight overdraft monitoring.
