requirements beginning on January 1 of the
following year, unless that time is extended by the
FDIC in writing. Similarly, an institution that
exceeds the asset threshold for the first time after
March 31 of a given year must comply with the
company-run stress test requirements beginning on
January 1 of the second year following that given
year, unless that time is extended by the FDIC in
writing.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Annual Dodd-Frank Act (DFA) Stress Testing
Report (FDIC DFAST 10-50 report) collects
detailed data on covered institutions’1 quantitative
projections of income, losses, assets, liabilities,
and capital across a range of macroeconomic
scenarios and qualitative supporting information
on the methodologies and processes used to
develop internal projections of capital across
scenarios.
Further information regarding the
requirements of the qualitative supporting
documentation is provided in Appendix A. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
will provide details about the macroeconomic
scenarios to institutions.

For example, if an institution reported $9.5 billion
in total consolidated assets as reported on the Call
Report as of June 30 and September 30, 2015 and
$11 billion as of December 31, 2015 and March
31, 2016, the average total assets over the fourquarter period is calculated as $10.25 billion and
the institution would meet the requirement to
conduct its first stress test for the 2017 stress test
cycle commencing on January 1, 2017 and
reporting in July 2017.

Who Must Report
Reporting Criteria

Once an institution meets the asset threshold, it
will remain subject to the final stress test rule
requirements unless and until the total
consolidated assets (not average assets) of the
company are less than $10 billion for each of four
consecutive quarters as reported on the Call
Report. An institution that has reduced its total
consolidated assets below $10 billion for four
consecutive quarters will again become subject to
the requirements of this rule if it meets the asset
threshold at a later date.

Institutions that meet a threshold of greater than
$10 billion but less than $50 billion in total
consolidated assets, as defined by the annual stress
test rule 12 CFR part 46, must file the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 report.
The FDIC’s final rule defines total consolidated
assets as the average of the institution’s total
consolidated assets over the four most recent
consecutive quarters as reported on the
institution’s Consolidated Report of Condition and
Income (Call Report FFIEC 031 or FFIEC 041).
Per the final rule, if the institution has not filed a
Call Report for each of the four most recent
consecutive quarters, the average of the
institution’s total consolidated assets in the most
recent quarter or consecutive quarters as reported
on the Call Report should be used in the
calculation.

Exemptions
Institutions that do not meet the reporting criteria
listed above are exempt from reporting.
Shifts in Reporting
If an institution filing the report reaches total
consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, as defined
by the stress testing final rule, it will be required to
submit the DFAST-14A stress testing report to the
FDIC.

Compliance after 3/31/2015
An institution that exceeds the asset threshold for
the first time on or before March 31 of a given
year, must comply with the company-run stress test

Where to Submit the Report

1

Covered institutions are state nonmember banks and
state savings associations with consolidated assets
exceeding $10 billion.

The FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the

2

“agencies”) collaborated closely in developing a
streamlined and simplified DFA stress test
regulatory report, and this coordination will
facilitate a uniform electronic collection process
for all institutions. All institutions should submit
their completed reports electronically through
Reporting Central, the Federal Reserve’s
electronic
reports
submission
application.
Reporting Central is a central point of entry for
Federal Reserve, FFIEC, and Treasury Department
electronic reporting submission and file uploads,
and is a system many institutions already use for
other regulatory reports. Per each agency’s final
rules, each primary federal regulator will have
access to their respective institutions’ submissions.

of a reporting year (for a total of ten quarters of
information reported). Institutions will report on
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 their quantitative
projections of losses, resources available to absorb
those losses, balance sheet positions and capital
composition on a quarterly basis over the duration
of the scenarios and planning horizon. The FDIC
will provide details about the macroeconomic
scenarios to institutions.
The FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is organized into
the following sections:
A. Scenario Variables Schedule
B. Results Schedule
a. Summary Schedule
b. Baseline Scenario
i.
Income Statement
ii.
Balance Sheet

Institutions should contact the FDIC or go to
www.frbservices.org/centralbank/reportingcentral
for procedures for electronic submission.

c. Adverse Scenario
All institutions must submit the qualitative
supporting information in Adobe Acrobat PDF
format.
For requirements regarding the
submission of these items, see Appendix A of

When to Submit the Report
The FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is required to be
submitted by the close of business July 31 of each
calendar year unless that time is extended by the
FDIC in writing. The term “submission date” is
defined as the date by which the FDIC must
receive the institution’s FDIC DFAST 10-50
report.

In addition to the projections collected on the
FDIC DFAST 10-50 report, institutions are also
required to submit summary qualitative
information supporting their projections. The
report of the results of the stress test must include,
under the baseline, adverse, and severely adverse
scenarios: a description of the types of risks
included in the stress test, a summary description
of the methodologies used in the stress test, an
explanation of the most significant causes for the
changes in regulatory capital ratios, and the use of
the stress test results. Please see Appendix A for
more details.

If the submission deadline falls on a weekend or
holiday, the report must be received on the first
business day after the weekend or holiday. Earlier
submission aids the FDIC in reviewing and
processing reports and is encouraged.

Organization of the Report

How to Prepare the Reports

General Information

A. Applicability of U.S. GAAP

The annual company-run DFA stress test will
cover a nine-quarter planning horizon beginning
on the first day of a stress test cycle (on January 1)
and use financial information as of December 31

Institutions are required to prepare and file the
FDIC DFAST 10-50 schedules in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting

3

principles (GAAP) and these instructions. The
financial records of the institutions should be
maintained in such a manner and scope to ensure
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is prepared in
accordance with these instructions and reflects a
fair presentation of the institutions’ financial
condition and assessment of performance under
stressed scenarios.

options are offered, the field should be left
blank.
d. Micro Data Reference Manual (MDRM)
codes and formulas are provided in the
"FFIEC 031 or 041 Call Report Item" column
for most line items. Definitions in the Call
Report for those items should be used.
F. Rounding

B. Rules of Consolidation
All dollar amounts must be reported in thousands,
with the figures rounded to the nearest thousand.
Rounding could result in details not adding to their
stated totals. However, to ensure consistent
reporting, the rounded detail items should be
adjusted so that the totals and the sums of their
components are identical.

Respondents should reference the Call Report for
general instructions on the rules of consolidation.
Unless otherwise noted, items map directly to the
respondent’s Call Report for the actual quarterly
data provided for December 31st of the reporting
year while all remaining quarterly data over the
nine-quarter horizon are based on the institution’s
quarterly projections.

G. Negative Entries

C. Projections

Negative entries are generally not appropriate on
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 balance sheet and should
not be reported. Hence, assets with credit balances
must be reported in liability items and liabilities
with debit balances must be reported in asset
items, as appropriate, and in accordance with these
instructions. When negative entries do occur in
one or more of these items, they should be
recorded with a minus (-) sign rather than in
parentheses.

The report includes one quarter of actual data
followed by nine quarters of projected data. The
“planning horizon” refers to the nine quarters of
projected data, starting with the fourth quarter of
the reporting year. Column headings will refer to
each corresponding quarter.
D. Order of Precedence
If there is a conflict in guidance, institutions
should first use the information contained in these
instructions and then the instructions available in
the latest Call Report.

H. Confidentiality
As these data will be collected as part of the
supervisory process, they are subject to
confidential treatment under exemption 8 of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).
In addition, the information contained in this
report may be exempt from disclosure under
Exemption 4.5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Disclosure
determinations would be made on a case-by-case
basis.
.
I. Amended Reports

E. Technical Details
The following instructions apply generally to the
FDIC DFAST 10-50 report, unless otherwise
specified.
a. Report income and loss data on a quarterly
basis and not on a cumulative or year-to-date
basis.
b. Ensure that any internal consistency checks
are complete prior to submission.
c. An amount or zero should generally be
entered for all items, except in those cases
where other options such as “not available”
or “other” are specified. If information is not
available or not applicable and no such

When the FDIC’s interpretation of how GAAP or
these instructions should be applied to a specified
event or transaction (or series of related events or
transactions) differs from the reporting
institution’s interpretation, the FDIC may require
the institution to reflect the event(s) or

4

transaction(s) in its FDIC DFAST 10-50 report in
accordance with the FDIC’s interpretation and to
amend previously submitted reports. The FDIC
will consider the materiality of such event(s) or
transaction(s) in making a determination about
requiring the institution to apply the FDIC’s
interpretation and to amend previously submitted
reports. Materiality is a qualitative characteristic
of accounting information which is defined in
FASB Concepts No. 2 as ‘‘the magnitude of an
omission or misstatement of accounting
information that, in the light of surrounding
circumstances, make it probable that the judgment
of a reasonable person relying on the information
would have been changed or influenced by the
omission or misstatement.’’

each scenario:
 Income statement memoranda line items
26-31, 32-37, and 38-43 for all reporters.

SCENARIO VARIABLES
SCHEDULE
To conduct the stress test required, an institution
m a y choose to project additional economic and
financial variables beyond the mandatory
supervisory scenarios provided to estimate losses
or revenues for some or all of its portfolios. The
FDIC expects an institution to ensure that the
paths of any additional variables (including their
timing) are consistent with the general economic
environment assumed in the supervisory
scenarios. If additional variables are used, the
institution must complete the following
information for each scenario where the institution
chose to use additional variables. The following
instructions provide guidance for institutions that
choose to use additional scenario variables to
report.

The FDIC may require the filing of an amended
FDIC DFAST 10-50 report if previously submitted
reports contain significant errors. In addition, an
institution should file an amended report when
internal or external auditors make audit
adjustments that result in a restatement of financial
statements previously submitted to the FDIC.
For further information regarding FDIC DFAST
10-50 amended reports, please see the Amended
Reports section in the general instructions of the
Call Report.

A. Scenario Variable Definitions
This schedule should be used to list and define the
variables used by an institution that chooses to go
beyond those variables defined in the mandatory
supervisory scenarios provided by the FDIC.

If resubmissions are required, institutions should
contact the FDIC.
J. Data Items Automatically Retrieved from
Other Reports
The actual 12/31 data that is required to be
submitted in the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report may
also be collected in other reports submitted to the
FDIC. If the institution files the other reports at
the same level of consolidation as is required for
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report, the duplicate data
items do not need to be reported and may be left
blank on the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report form. For
institutions, the data will be collected from the
Call Report.
However, the actual 12/31 data for certain line
items do not map to existing MDRM codes in the
Call Report. Institutions will need to report the
actual 12/31 data for the following line items for



The schedule provides space for the baseline
scenario, adverse scenario, and severely
adverse scenario.



If additional variables are used beyond
the variables included in the FDIC provided
scenarios, list those variable names in the
column titled "Variable Name."



Variable definitions should be provided in the
column titled "Variable Definition." Variable
definitions should include a description of the
variable (e.g., "real GDP") and the
denomination and/or frequency of the variable
(e.g., "billions of 2005 dollars" or "in
percent, average of monthly values").

value
conditions,
such
as
regional
unemployment rates or regional housing
prices, if these were used in the projections.

The forecasts and historical data for all of the
additional scenario variables should be
constructed on the same basis. Thus, if a
variable is, over history, constructed as an
average, its forecast should be interpreted as
an average as well.



The following definitions and basis (i.e.,
period-average or period-end) of the financial
market variables were included in the 2012
mandatory supervisory scenarios and are
provided as an example for institutions to
describe any additional scenario variables used
in its stress test:
o U.S. 10-year Treasury yield: Quarterly
average of the yield on 10-year U.S.
Treasury bonds.
o U.S. mortgage rate: Quarterly average of
weekly series of Freddie Mac data.
o U.S. Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index:
End of quarter value, Dow Jones.
o U.S. Market Volatility Index (VIX):
Chicago Board Options Exchange
converted to quarterly by using the
maximum value in any quarter.

Institutions should include historical data, as
well as projections, for any macroeconomic,
regional, local, or financial market variables
that are not generally available. Historical
data for these variables can be included in a
separate document.

B. All Scenarios

For convenience, the schedule provides space
for ten additional variables per scenario, but
any number of variables may be reported,
depending on the variables actually used in the
scenario. Extra lines may be created as
needed. The same variables do not necessarily
have to be included in each scenario.
Institutions should include all economic and
financial market variables that were important
in projecting results and are in addition to
those provided by the FDIC, including those
that affect only a subset of portfolios or
positions. For example, if asset prices in a
specific sector had a meaningful impact, then
the assumed level of prices and projections
should be included; or, if bankruptcy filings
affect credit card loss estimates, then the
assumed levels of these loss estimates should
be reported if used in the projections.



Variable names and definitions should be
consistent throughout the worksheets in the
schedule.



List quarterly values for the variables starting
with the last realized value (actual 12/31)
through the end of the planning horizon
(projected quarter one through projected
quarter nine). Reporting Central does not
allow variable values with decimal places on
the Scenario Variable Schedule. For variables
that are not reported in thousands (such as
ratios or rates) the respondent should provide
the unit of measure in the Variable Definition
field to indicate the metrics of a given variable.
For example, if Interest Rate is the Variable
Name, the corresponding Variable Definition
should identify the metrics in which the data
are reported (basis points, 1 as 1%; and 554 as
5.54%, etc.).



The Scenario Variables Schedule should be
submitted through the Reporting Central
application.

C. DFA Stress Test Baseline Scenario
Respondents should report the values of any
additional variables generated for the DFA stress
test baseline scenario.

D. DFA Stress Test Adverse Scenario

Institutions should also include any variables
capturing regional or local economic or asset

Respondents should report the values of any
additional variables generated for the DFA stress

test adverse scenario.

E. DFA Stress Test Severely Adverse
Scenario
Respondents should report the values of any
additional variables generated for the DFA stress
test severely adverse scenario.

stated in the Call Report instructions, institutions
should also include write-downs to fair values on
loans (and leases) transferred to the held-for-sale
account during the calendar year-to-date that
occurred when (1) the institution decided to sell
loans that were not originated or otherwise
acquired with the intent to sell and (2) the fair
value of those loans had declined for any reason
other than a change in the general market level of
interest or foreign exchange rates.

RESULTS SCHEDULES
The Results Schedules are composed of seven
supporting schedules: a Summary Schedule, which
summarizes key results from the Baseline,
Adverse, and Severely Adverse Scenarios; and
supporting schedules with Income Statement and
Balance Sheet details. Each supporting schedule
has three versions; one each for the Baseline
Scenario, the Adverse Scenario, and the Severely
Adverse Scenario.

Line item 1 First lien mortgages (net chargeoffs):

Detailed instructions for the Income Statement and
Balance Sheet follow in the sections below.

Report all closed-end loans secured by first liens
on 1–4 family residential properties, as defined in
the Call Report, Schedule RI-B, item 1.c.(2)(a).

Summary Schedule
This schedule summarizes key results reported on
the Income Statement and Balance Sheet for the
Baseline, Adverse, and Severely Adverse
Scenarios. No action is required by institutions to
complete this schedule as this summary data
schedule will be populated automatically from the
Income Statement and Balance Sheet schedules.

Line item 2 Closed-end junior liens (net chargeoffs):
Report all closed-end loans secured by junior liens
on 1–4 family residential properties, as defined in
the Call Report, Schedule RI-B, item 1.c.(2)(b).

a first lien on the same 1–4 family residential
property and there are no intervening junior liens.

Income Statement Schedule
For the Income Statement schedule, MDRM codes
corresponding to the related Call Report line items
are provided for many of the line items.
Differences between the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC
041 are noted; otherwise, assume that they are the
same. Respondents should report income and loss
data on a quarterly basis and not on a cumulative
or year-to-date basis.
When applicable, the
definitions of the institution’s projections should
map to the definitions outlined by the
corresponding MDRM code within the Call
Report. The institution should include i n c o me
o r losses tied to the relevant balances reported
on the Balance Sheet Schedule.

For the Balance Sheet, MDRM codes
corresponding to the related Call Report line items
are provided for many of the line items. Unless
otherwise noted, the line items are identical for
FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041. When applicable, the
definitions of the institution's projections should
map to the definitions outlined by the
corresponding MDRM code within the Call
Report. The institution should report balances that
are tied to the relevant income or losses reported
on the Income Statement Schedule.

Report the amount outstanding under revolving,
open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family
residential properties held in domestic offices, as

Balance Sheet: Capital Section
This section collects projections of components of
equity capital and regulatory capital, components
of assets and liabilities, and deferred tax asset
items. When applicable, the definitions of the
institution's projections should map to the
definitions outlined by the corresponding
MDRM code within the Call Report.

Line item 34 Trading liabilities:
Report all trading liabilities, as defined in the Call
Report, Schedule RC, item 15.

The projections should clearly show any proposed
capital actions or other scenario-dependent actions
that would affect the institution's regulatory
capital.

Line item 35 All other liabilities:
Report all other liabilities, as item 36 less items
32, 33, and 34.

An institution is required to calculate for each
quarter end within the planning horizon the
potential impact on its regulatory capital levels
and ratios incorporating the effects of any
expected capital actions over the planning
horizon.

Institutions should take into account the projected
losses of unfunded loan commitments as they
develop projections for this line item.
An
allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures
should be recognized in this line item (and not part
of the ALLL).

MDRM codes in this section reference both
Advanced
Approach
and
Non-Advanced
Approach MDRMs. As noted, institutions should
provide projections consistent with its quarterly

Line item 36 Total liabilities:

Call Report filings. For example, if an institution
is not subject to an Advanced Approach capital
framework, reporting in this section will reflect
non-advanced approach MDRMs. It is expected
that this will be case for the majority of
organizations filing the $10-$50 form. Use of
Advanced Approach MDRMs may be utilized in
the atypical instance that an institution is part of a
larger company that is subject to the Advanced
Approach capital framework.

Effective March 31, 2015, the reporting of net
unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities will
differ for institutions that “opt-out” of and for
those that “opt-in” to the requirement to include
components of accumulated other comprehensive
income adjustments (i.e. unrealized holding gains

testing process, senior management and board
roles; internal governance and model risk
management practices; and any other items related
to the overall process. Each institution should
describe how senior management provided the
board of directors with sufficient information to
facilitate the board’s full understanding of the
stress testing used by the institution for capital
planning purposes and allow for the appropriate
level of challenge of assumptions and outcomes.

APPENDIX A: QUALITATIVE
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Each institution is required under DFA stress test
to submit a summary of the qualitative
information supporting its projections. Supporting
information should include sufficient information
to inform a third party of an institution’s general
approach and assumptions, but remain summary
in nature. Institutions should provide appropriate
references to internal documents that provide more
detail on all the items to be discussed in the
submission. All institutions must submit the
qualitative supporting information in Adobe
Acrobat PDF format.

In addition, the following subsections (1.A
through 1.D) should be included as part of the
summary and governance section:

A. Description of the Types of Risks
Included in the Stress Test

The qualitative supporting information summary
file
should
be
titled
as
“ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_MMDDYY”


The “ReportID” in the file name should be as
follows for the following respondents:
o “FRY16” for BHCs, SLHCs, and SMBs
o “OCCDFAST1050” for national banks
and savings banks
o “FDICDFAST1050” for nonmember
banks and state savings banks



The “RSSD” in the file name is the institution
specific identifier for a respondent.

For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, each institution
should submit supporting qualitative information
that clearly describes the types of risks and
exposures captured in the stress test scenarios for
all lines of business and activities. This includes
information about risks that may threaten or
adversely affect the institution’s capital position
through increased losses, reduced revenues, and
changes in the balance sheet or risk-weighted
assets. The information should discuss the extent
to which risks are wholly or only partially covered
by the stress tests (for example, if not all aspects
of interest-rate risk are captured by the tests with
the given scenarios provided).

The “MMDDYY” should be the as-of date of the
stress test cycle (for example, 123115 for the 2016
stress test cycle).

B. Summary Description of the
Methodologies used in the Stress Test

The purpose of the summary document is to
provide an overview of the stress testing process
as required in the agencies' final stress test rules
and is repeated herein.
Significant detailed
information should not be included in the
summary document. Detailed documents will be
requested and reviewed as part of the supervisory
process. Sections that should be addressed in the
summary document are listed below, as well as a
description of items that should be included.

For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, the institution
should submit supporting information that clearly
describes the methodology used to produce the
projections. Each institution should include a
summary description of how it translated the
macroeconomic and financial variables from the
supervisory scenarios into its projections and
technical details of any underlying statistical
methods used. Information should be provided for
all elements of the stress tests, including loss
estimation, revenue estimation, projections of the
balance sheet and risk-weighted assets, and capital

1. Summary and Governance
Executive summary, general risk overview,
including a description of the risks used in the
stress test; summary reports describing the stress

17

levels and ratios. Where judgment is an essential
part of the projection, each institution should
describe the rationale and magnitude, as well as
the process involved to ensure consistency of
projections
with
scenario
conditions.
Furthermore, the institution should include a
thorough discussion of any material deviations
from these instructions and how they decided
upon the materiality of such deviations.

not to project components of the balance sheet,
those components should be held constant at the
last current level and the institution should
explain why the held constant assumption is
appropriate in the given scenario.
Each institution should submit any other
summary information
and
documentation
necessary to support or explain its capital
calculations. For example, an institution could
show the calculations related to the projections of
the deferred tax assets that may be disallowed for
regulatory capital purposes.

Discussion of methodologies should be consistent
with expectations in existing supervisory guidance
on stress testing issued by the agencies.
In
particular, the institution should provide a
summary of the design, theory, and logic
underlying the methodologies used.

While judgment is an essential part of risk
measurement and risk management, including loss
forecasting, institutions should not be overreliant on judgment to prepare their loss
estimations without providing documentation or
evidence of transparency and discipline around
the process. Each institution should provide
support for any judgment applied or qualitative
adjustments made and explain how they are
appropriate and in line with scenario conditions.

If third-party models are used, an institution
should provide summary information about those
models, including model design, key assumptions,
known limitations, and implementation and
execution.
Each institution should provide credible support
for all key assumptions used to derive loss and
revenue estimates, including assumptions related
to the components of loss, severity of loss, drivers
of revenue, and any known weaknesses in the
translation of assumptions into loss and revenue
estimates. Each institution should demonstrate
that these assumptions are clearly conditioned on
the stated macroeconomic and financial scenarios
and are consistent with stated business strategies
including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions,
or divestitures of business lines or entities and
changes in strategic direction. If the institution's
models rely upon historical relationships, describe
the historical data used and clearly describe why
these relationships are expected to be maintained
in each scenario. The impact of assumptions
concerning new growth or changes to credit policy
on forecasted loss estimates relative to historical
performance should be clearly explained.

C. Explanation of the Most Significant
Causes for the Changes in Regulatory
Capital Ratios
For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, each institution
should provide a clear explanation of the changes
in regulatory capital ratios from the stress test
scenarios over the planning horizon. For instance,
an institution may indicate that a major
component of the reduction in regulatory capital
ratios resulted from deterioration in the quality of
its retail credit exposures over the planning
horizon. The explanation should take into account
the risks identified and describe the changes in
capital by material income statement and balance
sheet statement line items affected by the stress
test scenario.

Institutions should provide summary information
on the specific assumptions used to calculate
regulatory capital, including a discussion of any
proposed capital distributions. When appropriate,
clearly state assumptions related to the corporate
tax rate and the evolution of the deferred tax
assets. In situations where the institution chose

D. Use of Stress Test Results
Institutions should provide summary information
as to how they use these stress test results in the
normal course of business, including in the capital
planning, assessment of capital adequacy, and risk

18

management practices of the institution. This
summary should describe the manner in which the
stress test is used for key decisions about capital
adequacy, including capital actions and capital
contingency plans.
The institution should
indicate the extent to which this stress test is used
in conjunction with other capital assessment tools,
especially if the stress test may not necessarily
capture an institution’s full range of risks,
exposures, activities, and vulnerabilities that have
the potential to affect capital adequacy. In
addition, an institution should include summary
information as to how post-stress capital results
remain aligned with its internal capital goals. The
institution should mention any cases in which
post-stress capital results are not aligned with its
internal capital goals, and describe options that
senior management and the board would consider
to bring them into alignment.

4. Loans
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to each loan portfolio reported in
total loans and leases, including the associated
ALLL. This information should support Balance
Sheet Schedule line items 1 to 16 and Income
Statement Schedule line items 1 to 14.
5. Securities
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to projections of HTM and AFS
security balances, unrealized losses, and OTTI.
This information should support Balance Sheet
Schedule line items 17 to 26 and Income
Statement Schedule line items 20 to 22 and 25.
6. Pre-provision Net Revenue
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to estimates of net interest
income, margins, fees, funding costs and related
items. This information should support Income
Statement Schedule line items 15 to 18.

2. Scenarios
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to the process used to translate
macro variables, including the use of additional
scenario variables, if applicable. If additional
scenario variables are used beyond the supervisory
scenario variables provided by the agencies, each
respondent should complete the scenario variables
schedule as previously indicated in the reporting
instructions.

7. Balance Sheet
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to balance sheet estimation, such
as loan balances. This information should support
Balance Sheet Schedule line items 1 to 39.
The
summary
qualitative
supporting
documentation should not include embedded files
and should be submitted in Adobe Acrobat PDF
format. The file size limit is 50 MB. If the file
needs to be split up into smaller files, the
combined file size limit is 200 MB. When
submitting multiple files in order to meet the file
size limit, the file name should indicate the content
of files submitted using the seven qualitative
supporting information summary categories
discussed above.

In addition, each institution should include
summary information supporting any additional
scenario variables used to conduct the DFA stress
tests. The information should detail the rationale
behind including additional scenario variables and
the process for projecting additional variables,
including the linkage with the macroeconomic
and financial scenarios provided by the FDIC.

3. Capital
Summary of methodology, models, and validation
activities related to assumptions and calculations
used to calculate regulatory capital, explanations
of proposed capital actions, options to maintain
internally established capital goals on a post-stress
basis, and an explanation of causes for changes in
regulatory capital ratios. This information should
support the Balance Sheet Schedule line items 40
to 54.
