2 a. and b. Annual closing date and the Federal
Employer Identification Number (FEIN) – Provide the
current Annual closing date and the FEIN of the addressed,
reporting corporation.

If there are changes from the prior quarter for the Annual
closing date or the FEIN, attach a separate sheet noting the
circumstances of the change and the current status of the
former FEIN.
3 Corporation Status – Reporting companies operating
under bankruptcy protection are still required to file. The reports
need to be filed on a properly consolidated basis including any
subsidiary operating under bankruptcy protection. (See
Consolidation Rules in 5 below.) Please note if any operations
have been discontinued. If the company is unable to comply
with the reporting requirements because the books of the
ongoing operations are under the control of a court appointed
trustee, etc., please explain on a separate sheet. (Include your
10-digit Username on all attached information.)
4 Parent Corporation – Give the corporate name, FEIN,
and address of any parent domestic company (owns more than
50 percent of voting securities). If there are multiple tiers of
ownership, give the highest U.S. corporation as the parent.
Note changes from previously reported parent companies giving
all tiers in the ownership chain. This will help us determine the
reporting level and eliminate duplication of coverage.
5 Consolidation Rules – Fully consolidate the operations
of every domestic corporation (including 1120S corporations)
that are taxable under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and are
owned more than 50 percent by your company and its
majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. For purposes of this
report, domestic operations refer to operations that are within
the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
Commonwealths such as Puerto Rico and territories such as
the Virgin Islands are not considered domestic.
