FR 2004 Primary Government Securities Dealers Reporting Guidelines

I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. ORGANIZATION OF THE INSTRUCTION BOOK
This instruction book covers the FR 2004 Primary Government Securities Dealers Reports. It is
divided into the following sections:
Section I (General Instructions) – The general instructions describe the overall reporting
requirements.
Section II (What to Report) – This section describes the types of reportable securities.
Section III (Report Specific Instructions) – This section describes the specific reporting
requirements for each FR 2004 report and line. These instructions and definitions supplement
the information in the general instructions.
The forms and instructions are available on the Board’s website at:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/reportforms/
Additional information, including the SI and WI Guide Sheets, is also available on the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York’s (FRBNY) website:
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html
B. PURPOSE OF THE FR 2004 REPORTS
The FR 2004 reports collect weekly and daily position, transaction, financing, and fails data of
the primary government securities dealers (primary dealers) in U.S. government securities and
other selected fixed-income securities. These data provide critical support to the Federal
Reserve in fulfilling important responsibilities, including monitoring technical developments in
U.S. government securities markets, conducting open market operations, and acting as fiscal
agent for the U.S. Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury).
C. ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES
Authority
The FR 2004 reports are authorized by law (12 U.S.C. §§ 248(a)(2), 353-359, and 461(c)).
These reports are required to obtain the benefit of primary dealer status.
Confidentiality
Individual primary dealer data are regarded as confidential under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and are treated as such by the Federal Reserve System. Individual
reporting entity data reported on the FR 2004 reports will not be published or otherwise publicly
disclosed. Aggregate data derived from these reports that are published or otherwise publicly
disclosed will not reveal the identity of any individual reporting entity. If it should be determined
subsequently that any information collected on these reports must be released, primary dealers
will be notified.
Data from the FR2004 series may be made available to the Inter-agency Working Group for
Treasury market surveillance, which includes the Department of the Treasury, the Securities
5

DRAFT - September 24, 2014

FR 2004 Primary Government Securities Dealers Reporting Guidelines

and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The FR 2004 reports have been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and assigned OMB control
number 7100-0003. The estimated average burden associated with this collection of information,
per response, is 32.80 hours for the FR 2004A, 3.750 hours for the FR 2004B, 3.125 hours for the
FR 2004C, 2.12 hours for the FR 2004SI, 2.2 hours for the FR 2004SD, and 1 hour for the
FR 2004WI, 1 hour for the FR 2004FA, 1 hour for the FR 2004FB, 1 hour for the FR 2004FC, and
1.5 hours for the FR 2004FM. These averages include the time to gather and maintain data in the
required form, to review instructions, and to complete the information collection. The amount of
time required to complete these reports will vary depending on the amount of data to report.
Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for reducing burden
should be directed to:
Secretary, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
20th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20551
No person is required to respond to any collection of information from the Federal Reserve
System unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Requests for Revised Data
FRBNY staff review data submitted on the FR 2004 reports. As a result of their review and
analytical procedures, FRBNY staff may ask reporters to explain data conditions or submit
revisions. Since these data are extremely time-sensitive, reporters should respond as quickly
as possible to these requests. Revisions must be submitted via the Reporting Central system.
When cancels and corrections to prior period FR 2004B data occur, they may be corrected by
reducing or increasing the next period’s transactions by the amount of the error. The revisions
cannot be applied to the next period’s transactions if the cancellation or correction from the prior
period results in a negative amount in the next period’s transactions. In that case, revised prior
period data should be submitted.
Data Retention
In accordance with Federal Reserve Banks Operating Circular No. 5, the reporting Institution
must maintain a hard copy duplicate of all required statistical or other bank regulatory data
(such as FR 2004) that it submits electronically, unless, consistent with generally applicable
revisions to the requirements for submitting the particular report, the Institution is no longer
required to retain the hard copy. The hard copy must contain an official signature certifying that
the data contained therein is correct, must be retained by the Institution for at least five years,
and is subject to inspection by the Reserve Bank.

FR 2004 Primary Government Securities Dealers Reporting Guidelines

Officer Declaration and Signature
Each FR 2004 report (A, B, C, SI, SD, and WI, FA, FB, FC, and FM) must be signed by a senior
officer of the primary dealer that has managerial responsibilities for the internal controls for
financial statements or the trading operations. This includes the CEO, CFO, or equivalent officer
with these responsibilities. The signing officer is expected to notify the FRBNY if the officer
becomes aware of any material inaccuracies in reported data.
Either the signature page of the FRBNY-supplied sample set of report forms, a photocopy of this
signature page, or a copy of the signature page from the primary dealer’s report preparation
software should be used to fulfill the signature and declaration requirement. This page should be
attached to the printout placed in the primary dealer’s official files for a period of time that is
consistent with the retention of the FR 2004 reports. In addition, a copy of the attestations must
be submitted annually for the last as-of date of each year to the FRBNY.
D. WHO MUST REPORT
Reporting Dealers
Respondents to the reports are primary dealers. The FR 2004 reports are required to obtain the
benefit of primary dealer status. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York trades U.S.
government and select other securities with designated primary dealers, which include banks
and securities broker-dealers. A list of primary dealers can be found at
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/pridealers_current.html
Consolidation Rules
For purposes of these reports, data should be reported for the entire legal entity that functions as
the primary dealer, including any subsidiaries that it consolidates in its regulatory reports (e.g.,
FOCUS or FOG). Unless specified in these instructions, all activity and balances between
consolidated entities included in the consolidation described above should be eliminated.
Activities and balances with counterparties not included in the consolidation described above are
external and should be reported accordingly.
Positions, transactions, financing, and fails that occur with unconsolidated affiliates and
subsidiaries are reported as third-party transactions. Do not report internal trades, including
trades between desks or departments.
Affiliates are companies under the control of the direct parent of the primary dealer. The
following illustrates the FR 2004 consolidation rules.

revisions cannot be applied to the next period’s transactions if the cancellation or correction from
the prior period results in a negative amount in the next period’s transactions. In that case, a

D. FR 2004 SI – WEEKLY REPORT OF SPECIFIC ISSUES
Accounting Rules
Report position and transaction data on the FR 2004SI at the original issuance par amount.
Positions on the FR 2004SI are reported using settlement date accounting. Long and short
positions in the same issue should be reported net by CUSIP, therefore, a negative value can be
reported in column 4 (net settled position).
However, transactions reported on the FR 2004SI are reported using trade date accounting.
Report on a cumulative basis. Do not net purchases and sales.
Report financing data, including security vs. security exchanges, at the original issuance par
amount of the collateral. Report financing that is outstanding as-of the report date using trade
date accounting. Report on a gross basis FIN 41 does not apply to this report).
Reportable Securities
Report position, transaction, financing, and fails data for the most recently issued (i.e.,
on-the-run) U.S. Treasury securities, including Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) and TIPS,
for each maturity classification on the FR 2004SI. Once a when-issued security has
been issued, it replaces the security with the same maturity classification on the FR
2004SI and the security stops being reported on the FR 2004 WI. For example, a 2year U.S. Treasury note that has been issued is no longer reported on the FR 2004WI
and begins to be reported on the FR 2004SI as of close of business the first
Wednesday after its issuance. This 2-year U.S. Treasury note will continue to be
reported on the FR 2004SI until a 2-year U.S. Treasury note is newly issued or reopened by the U.S. Treasury.
The current list of securities reported on the FR 2004SI is maintained on the FR
2004SI Guide Sheet, which is available on the FRBNY website at:
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html
Row Definitions
Submit the securities on the FR 2004 SI in the same order each week. Fixed principal

Line #10 - Treasury Floating Rate Notes (any maturity)

Column 1 Security and Rate
Report the most recently issued on-the-run security for each maturity classification of
U.S. Treasury fixed income, floating rate, and TIPS notes and bonds. Identify
securities by coupon and maturity date in yyyymmdd format.
Columns 2 through 3 Outright Cumulative Transactions
Report data using trade date accounting at the original issuance par amount. Report
gross outright purchases and sales on a cumulative basis for each reportable security
for the business days since the previous report (Thursday through Wednesday). Do
not net purchases and sales. Exclude forward transactions.
When a new issue is added to the report, include the cumulative transactions in that
issue since the closing date of the previous FR 2004SI, even though some of these
transactions may have been reported on the FR 2004WI. Except for holiday weeks,
you should report five days of transactions for each issue on the FR 2004SI.
For example, if a new 5-year U.S. Treasury note is issued on Tuesday, report the transactions
in that issue for the full Thursday through Wednesday reporting period, even though the
transactions on Thursday through Monday were already reported on the FR 2004WI.
When a re-opened security is added to the report, include the cumulative transactions in that
security since its issue date plus the cumulative transactions in the originally issued security
since the closing date of the previous FR 2004SI. Therefore, transactions reported on the FR
2004WI for the re-opened security will not be reported on the FR 2004SI.
For example, if a re-opened 10-year U.S. Treasury note is issued on Monday, report the
transactions in that issue on Monday through Wednesday and add to it the transactions in the
originally issued 10-year U.S. Treasury note on Thursday and Friday.
Column 4 Net Settled Positions
Report data using settlement date accounting valued at the original issuance par amount. Long and
short positions in the same issue should be reported net by CUSIP; therefore, a negative value can be
reported in this column. Report a trade arranged for settlement on or before the closing date of the
report as settled, even if a fail occurs. If such a trade fails to clear, report it as a fail and report it as part
of the net settled position. Exclude positions in forward contracts.
Columns 5 through 12 Gross Financing
Report data, including when only securities are exchanged, using trade date accounting at the
original issuance par amount of the collateral. Report on a gross basis; do not net borrowings
against loans even if the counterparty, term, and security are identical (FIN 41 does not apply to
this report).

Report as “general transactions,” transactions where the parties agree to borrow/lend any
member of a class of securities (such as “a Treasury issue” or “a Treasury issue no longer than
10 years to maturity”), where the specific collateral in the transaction to be delivered pursuant to
the agreement is identified after the class and rate are negotiated. Tri-party and GCF repos are
“general transactions” as is a deliver versus payment repo (“DVP repo”) where the collateral is
identified after the rate, term, and class are agreed upon. In “general transactions” the lender of
collateral has some latitude in its choice of collateral delivered.
Columns 5, 7, 9, 11 Overnight/Continuing
Report as “overnight and continuing,” financing agreements. An overnight financing agreement
is an agreement that settles on one business day and matures on the next business day. A
continuing contract agreement is an agreement that remains in effect for more than one
business day, but has no specific maturity and can be terminated by either the borrower or the

transactions on both the previously issued security and the when-issued security as of close of
business the prior day. If there is an existing position for the previously issued security in
inventory, this position should be included in the net outright position column on day 1.

DRAFT - September 24, 2014

FR 2004 Primary Government Securities Dealers Reporting Guidelines

Report the description of each note and bond that the U.S. Treasury has offered for sale but has
not yet issued. Include the coupon (when known) (use spread instead of coupon for FRNs) and
maturity date in yyyymmdd format. For a new issue, the coupon is available on the auction date
of the security. For a re-opened issue, the coupon is available at the time of the offering.
Column 2 Net Outright Positions
Report net outright positions in the when-issued security and the outstanding security if the U.S.
Treasury has re-opened an issue. Include positions for when-issued delivery, delivery dates after
issuance, or in the case of the outstanding security, any delivery date. Long and short positions
should be reported net by security; therefore, a negative value can be reported in column 2 (net
outright positions) of the FR 2004WI.
Include reporting entity allotments (securities received through auction as a result of reporting
entities bidding for their own accounts) from the U.S. Treasury as a gross long position on the
auction date only. Exclude customer awards of securities from net outright positions.
Column 3 Net Forward Financing Commitments
A forward commitment is a financing transaction (as defined for the FR 2004C) that is scheduled
to begin on a date after the report date. For example, an agreement to finance at issuance.
Report any forward financing commitments involving a re-opened or new when-issued security
even if no outright position is held. When the U.S. Treasury re-opens an issue, report the net
forward financing commitments for both the security being traded as a when-issue security and for
the security being traded on-the-run. Long and short positions should be reported net by security,
therefore, a negative value can be reported in column 3 (net forward financing commitments) of
the FR 2004WI.
A repurchase agreement or commitment to lend the security should be considered a short
position. A reverse repurchase agreement or commitment to borrow securities should be
considered a long position. Exclude reporting entity allotments and customer awards (securities
received from bids placed on behalf of a customer by a reporting entity).
Column 4 and 5 Cumulative Outright Transactions
Report gross purchases and sales in the appropriate column. Include transactions in the
outstanding security if the U.S. Treasury has re-opened a security. Report only the transactions
executed on the reporting date. Do not report cumulative transactions across reporting dates. Do
not net purchases and sales.
Report transactions for any delivery date. Include immediate, forward and when-issued
transactions. Exclude reporting entity allotments and customer awards (securities received from
bids placed on behalf of a customer by a reporting entity).
Line-by-Line Instructions
For each item, report security information in column 1, net outright positions in column 2, net
forward financing commitments in column 3, and cumulative outright transactions in columns 4
and 5.

F. FR 2004FA, FR 2004FB, FR 2004FC, FR 2004FM – MONTHLY REPORTS OF
SETTLEMENT FAILS AND TRANSACTION VOLUMES IN AGENCY TBA AND SPECIFIED
POOL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
Accounting Rules
Report settlement fails from Agency and GSE TBA and specified pool transactions, at principal
value, excluding accrued interest. Principal value is the face value purchased or sold times the
price. Report failed transactions and failed financing transactions that occurred on the as-of date
only. Also include TBA MBS fails when the settlement date is delayed beyond the contractual
settlement date. Do not report security fails on a cumulative basis. However, report cumulative
TBA and pool transactions for settlement in the reporting month using trade date
accounting. Dealers should report all TBA and pool transactions for that month’s
settlement (not just TBA dollar rolls). Do not net purchases and sales.
The settlement calendar for MBS can be located here:
http://www.sifma.org/Services/Standard-Forms-and-Documentation/SecuritizedProducts/Securitized-Products_MBS-Notification-and-Settlement-Dates/
No Activity
If a reporting entity does not have any MBS TBA activity, a report must be submitted reflecting
zero data.
