Insured financial institutions must
provide quarterly reports of condition and income to the
appropriate regulatory for supervisory, surveillance, regulatory,
research, insurance assessment and informational purposes. On
November 21, 2011, the agencies, under the auspices of the FFIEC,
requested public comment for 60 days on a proposal to extend, with
revision, the Call Reports, which are currently approved
collections of information. After considering the comments
received, the FFIEC and the agencies will proceed with the
reporting changes and instructional revisions that had been
proposed to take effect March 31, 2012, and will also implement the
two less detailed Call Report revisions that had been proposed for
implementation as of June 30, 2012. As for the two new schedules
that also had been proposed to be added to the Call Report
beginning June 30, 2012,1 the FFIEC and the agencies are continuing
to evaluate these proposed schedules in light of the comments
received. The proposed revisions to the Call Reports that are the
subject of this request have been approved by the FFIEC. Certain
new data items would be added to the Call Report as of the June 30,
2012, report date and two proposed revisions would take effect
March 31, 2012, in connection with the initial filing of Call
Reports by savings associations (as previously approved by OMB).
The proposed new data items are intended to provide data needed for
reasons of safety and soundness or other public purposes and would
assist the agencies in gaining a better understanding of
institutions' lending activities and credit risk exposures. The
agencies also proposed certain revisions to the Call Report
instructions that would take effect March 31, 2012. Consistent with
longstanding practice, for the March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012,
report dates, as applicable, institutions may provide reasonable
estimates for any new or revised Call Report item initially
required to be reported as of that date for which the requested
information is not readily available.

The change in burden associated
with this submission is caused by two factors: (a) a net decrease
in the number of reporting institutions supervised by the FDIC, and
(b) the changes to the Call Report that are the subject of this
submission. At present, there are 4,630 FDIC-supervised
institutions (4,570 FDIC-supervised banks that currently file Call
Reports and 60 FDIC-supervised savings associations that will begin
to file Call Reports as of March 31, 2012, as previously approved
by OMB). This number is 117 less than previously reported (4,747
previously versus 4,630 now), with the entire reduction
attributable to banks. As noted in Section 13 above, the proposed
revisions that are the subject of this submission will affect only
a small percentage of FDIC-supervised institutions. Thus, the FDIC
estimates that the overall effect of the proposed reporting
revisions across the range of institutions under its supervision
would be a nominal increase of in the burden estimate per response.
The analysis of the change in burden is as follows: Currently
approved burden FDIC-supervised banks (burden to file) 758,732
hours FDIC-supervised savings associations: Burden to file 9,713
hours First year burden to convert systems and conduct training
11,280 hours Total currently approved burden 779,725 hours
Revisions to content of report (program change) FDIC-supervised
banks (burden to file) + 365 hours FDIC-supervised savings
associations (burden to file) + 53 hours Adjustment (change in use)
FDIC-supervised banks (burden to file) - 18,940 hours
FDIC-supervised savings associations (burden to file) 0 hours
Requested (new) burden 761,203 hours Net change in burden: - 18,522
hours The impact of the reporting changes covered by this
submission will vary from institutions to institution depending
upon an institution's individual circumstances and the extent of
its involvement, if any, with the particular type of activity,
product, or transaction that is the subject of a proposed reporting
revision.
