General Description of Reports
This information collection is
mandatory for banks 1 using the
Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework: 12 U.S.C. 161 (for national
banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 and 12 U.S.C.
1844(c) (for state member banks and
BHCs respectively), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (for
insured state nonmember commercial
and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464
(for savings associations). This
information collection will be given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)) except for selected data items
(Schedules A and B, and data items 1
and 2 of the operational risk Schedule
S) that will be released for reporting
periods after an institution has
successfully completed its parallel run
period and is qualified to use the
advanced approaches for regulatory
capital purposes. The agencies will not
publicly release information submitted
during an entity’s parallel run period.
Abstract
Each bank that qualifies for and
applies the advanced internal ratings1 For simplicity, and unless otherwise indicated,
this notice uses the term ‘‘bank’’ to include banks,
savings associations, and bank holding companies
(BHCs). The terms ‘‘bank holding company’’ and
‘‘BHC’’ refer only to bank holding companies
regulated by the Board and do not include savings
and loan holding companies regulated by the OTS.
For a detailed description of the institutions
covered by this notice, refer to Part I, Section 1, of
the final rule entitled Risk-Based Capital Standards:
Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework (72 FR
69397, December 7, 2007).

based approach to calculate regulatory
credit risk capital and the advanced
measurement approaches to calculate
regulatory operational risk capital, as
described in the final rule implementing
the Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework (72 FR 69288, December 7,
2007, referred to hereafter as the final
rule), is required to file quarterly
regulatory data. The agencies use these
data to assess and monitor the levels
and components of each reporting
entity’s risk-based capital requirements
and the adequacy of the entity’s capital
under the Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework; to evaluate the impact and
competitive implications of the
Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework
on individual reporting entities and on
an industry-wide basis; and to
supplement on-site examination
processes. The reporting schedules also
assist banks in understanding
expectations around the system
development necessary for
implementation and validation of the
Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework. Submitted data that are
released publicly following a reporting
entity’s parallel run period will also
provide other interested parties with
information about banks’ risk-based
capital.
Current Actions
The agencies propose to implement
revisions to certain portions of the
FFIEC 101 report principally to align the
reporting of the amount of qualifying
restricted core capital elements (other
than cumulative perpetual preferred
stock) held by bank holding companies
and qualifying mandatory convertible
preferred securities held by
internationally active bank holding
companies to that of Schedule HC–R of
the FR Y–9C 2 by separately including
both capital elements in Schedule A of
the FFIEC 101; to require all banks, bank
holding companies, and savings
associations to report capital numerator
information on a common Schedule A
of the FFIEC 101 (Schedule A, Part 2 for
savings associations will be eliminated);
and to revise the way equity exposures
are reported in a reformatted Schedule
R of the FFIEC 101. The agencies would
implement the proposed changes
beginning with the March 31, 2011,
report date. These proposed changes are
described below.

risk-based capital ratios. For bank
holding companies subject to these
reporting requirements, the agencies
propose to recaption line item 6.b of
Schedule A, Part 1 of the FFIEC 101
report and to add line item 6.c. Line
item 6.b is currently intended to capture
two components of capital that are
reported separately on Schedule HC–R
of the FR Y–9C: The amount of
qualifying restricted core capital
elements (other than cumulative
perpetual preferred stock) held by bank
holding companies (as reported in item
6.b of Schedule HC–R) and qualifying
mandatory convertible preferred
securities held by internationally active
bank holding companies (as reported in
item 6.c of Schedule HC–R). The
agencies propose to align the reporting
of these capital elements to that of
Schedule HC–R of the FR Y–9C by
separately including both capital
elements in the FFIEC 101. These two
capital elements would replace the
current item 6.b and would appear, as
they do on Schedule HC–R in the FR Y–
9C, as items 6.b and 6.c of Schedule A,
Part 1, respectively. Reporting
instructions for the FFIEC 101 would be
revised accordingly. The change in
reporting would apply only to bank
holding companies.
Reporting of information about the
numerator of a savings association’s
risk-based capital ratios. For the
purposes of simplicity and
comparability of reporting financial
information among banks and savings
associations under the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework, the
Agencies propose to delete Part 2 of
Schedule A for savings associations.
Instead, all banks, bank holding
companies, and savings associations
reporting under the Advanced Capital
Adequacy Framework would report on
the same Schedule A form (see http://
www.ffiec.gov/forms101.htm). Reporting
instructions for the FFIEC 101 would be
revised accordingly.
Reporting of information on equity
exposures. Banks subject to these
reporting requirements currently
provide information about equity
exposure amounts and the risk-weighted
asset amount of these exposures in
Schedule R of the FFIEC 101. This
schedule currently contains 22 line
items (exposure categories, subtotals,
and totals) and two columns (exposure
and risk-weighted asset amounts) in
which data are reported. A number of
the line items listed on the schedule
only apply to certain approaches
contained within the final rule for
calculating risk-weighted asset amounts
for equity exposures. The agencies
propose to reformat Schedule R to

VerDate Mar<15>2010

18:16 Jan 27, 2011

Jkt 223001

clarify what line items need to be
reported based on which of the three
approaches the bank uses to calculate
risk-weighted asset amounts for its
equity exposures: The simple risk
weight approach (SRWA), the full
internal models approach (full IMA), or
the IMA applied to only publicly traded
equity exposures (publicly traded or
partial IMA).
The reformatted version of Schedule
R does not alter any of the existing line
items in the current schedule. More
specifically, neither the exposure
categories nor the number of equity
exposure items completed by banks
using a given approach would change as
a result of this proposal. Rather, the
proposal is to expand the number of
columns shown on the schedule from
two to six to allow for reporting of a
distinct set of exposure and riskweighted asset information for banks
using the SRWA, a distinct set of
exposure and risk-weighted asset
information for banks using the full
IMA, and a distinct set of exposure and
risk-weighted asset information for
banks using the partial IMA. Each set of
exposure and risk-weighted asset
columns would appear with the heading
of the applicable final rule approach
used by the bank and only those
exposure categories (including subtotals
and totals) applicable to a given
approach would appear within each
columnar section of the reformatted
schedule (see http://www.ffiec.gov/
forms101.htm). Reporting instructions
for the FFIEC 101 would be revised
accordingly.
Public comment is requested on all
aspects of this joint notice. Comments
are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed revisions to
the collection of information that are the
subject of this notice are necessary for
the proper performance of the agencies’
functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
estimates of the burden of the
information collection as they are
proposed to be revised, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
information collections on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start up
costs and costs of operation,
