INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Banking Organization
Systemic Risk Report
FR Y-15

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Who Must Report
A. Reporting Criteria
The following banking organizations must file the
Banking Organization Systemic Risk Report (FR Y15) as of the last calendar day of March, June,
September, and December:
(1) Holding
Companies
with
Total
Consolidated Assets of $50 Billion or
More. Bank holding companies (BHCs)
andthat and covered savings and loan
holding companies (SLHCs) 1 that have
total consolidated assets of $50 billion or
more as of the June 30th prior to the
December 31st as-of date, including those
U.S. top-tier BHCsholding companies that
are subsidiaries of foreign banking
organizations, must file the FR Y-15 for
that year., subject to applicable phase-in
arrangements. Only the top tier BHC of a
multi-tiered holding company that meets
these criteria must file.
1. Covered SLHCs are those which are not substantially engaged in
insurance or commercial activities. For more information, see the

FR Y-15
General Instructions

December 20132015

(2) U.S.-Based Organizations Designated as
Global Systemically Important Banks by
the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision.. Any BHC organized under
the laws of the U.S. or any of the states
therein that iswas identified as a global
systemically important bank (G-SIB) based
on their most recent method 1 score
calculation 2 must file the FR Y-15 even if
they do not meet the consolidated assets
threshold.

B. Shifts in Reporting Status
A top-tier holding company that reaches $50 billion
or more in total consolidated assets as of June 30
must begin reporting the FR Y-15 in December of the
same year. If a top-tier holding company reaches $50
billion or more in total consolidated assets due to a
business combination, a reorganization, or a branch
acquisition that is not a business combination, then
the holding company must begin reporting the FR Y15 with the first quarterly report date following the
effective date of the business combination,
reorganization, or branch acquisition. If a holding
company’s total consolidated assets should
subsequently fall to less than $50 billion for four
consecutive quarters, then the holding company is no
definition of “covered savings and loan holding company” provided in
12 CFR 217.2.
2
See 12 CFR 217.402.

GEN-1

longer required to file the FR Y-15 starting with the
fifth quarter.

C. Rules of Consolidation
For purposes of this report, all offices (i.e., branches,
subsidiaries, variable interest entities and
international banking facilities (IBFs)) that are
within the scope of the consolidated holding
company are to be reported on a consolidated basis.
Unless the instructions specifically state otherwise,
this consolidation shall be on a line-by-line basis,
according to the caption shown. As part of the
consolidation process, the results of all transactions
and all intercompany balances (e.g., outstanding
asset/debt
relationships)
between
offices,
subsidiaries, and other entities included in the scope
of the consolidated holding company are to be
eliminated in the consolidation and must be excluded
from the FR Y-15.
Subsidiaries of Subsidiaries. For a subsidiary of a
holding company that is in turn the parent of one or
more subsidiaries: (1) Each subsidiary shall
consolidate its majority-owned subsidiaries in
accordance with the consolidation requirements set
forth above. (2) Each subsidiary shall account for any
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries,
corporate joint ventures over which the holding
company exercises significant influence, and
associated companies according to the equity method
of accounting.

D. Exclusions from coverage of the
consolidated report
Subsidiaries where control does not rest with the
parent. If control of a majority-owned subsidiary by
the holding company does not rest with the holding
company because of legal or other reasons (e.g., the
subsidiary is in bankruptcy), the subsidiary is not
required to be consolidated for purposes of the report.
Additional guidance on this topic is provided in
accounting
standards,
including
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 810-10,
Consolidation – Overall.
Custody accounts. Custody and safekeeping
activities (i.e., the holding of securities, jewelry, coin
collections, and other valuables in custody or in
safekeeping for customers) must not be reflected on
FR Y-15
General Instructions

December 20132015

any basis in the balance sheet items on the FR Y-15
unless cash funds held in safekeeping for customers
are commingled with the general assets of the
reporting holding company. In such cases, the
commingled funds would be reported on the FR Y15.. The exclusion of custody accounts does not
apply to line items specifically capturing assets under
custody.

Where to Submit the Report
Electronic Submission
All banking organizations must submit their
completed
report
electronically.
Banking
organizations should contact their district Reserve
Bank
or
go
to www.frbservices.org/centralbank/reportingcentral
/ for procedures for electronic submission.

When to Submit the Report
The FR Y-15 is required to be submitted as of March
31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The
submission date for banking organizations is 50
calendar days after the March 31, June 30, and
September 30 as-of dates and 65 calendar days after
the December 31 as-of date. Note that the end-2015
submission date has been extended to 90 calendar
days after the December 31, 2015 as-of date.
The term “submission date” is defined as the date by
which the Federal Reserve must receive the banking
organization’s FR Y-15.
If the submission deadline falls on a weekend or
holiday, the report must be received on the first
business day after the Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.
Earlier submission aids the Federal Reserve in
reviewing and processing the reports and is
encouraged. No extensions of time for submitting
reports are granted.
The reports are due by the end of the reporting day
on the submission date (5:00 P.M. at each district
Federal Reserve Bank).

How to Prepare the Report
A. Applicability of GAAP

GEN-2

Banking organizations are required to prepare and
file the FR Y-15 in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and these
instructions. The report shall be prepared in a
consistent manner. The banking organization’s
financial records shall be maintained in such a
manner and scope so as to ensure that the FR Y-15
can be prepared and filed in accordance with these
instructions and reflect a fair presentation of the
banking organization’s financial condition and
results of operations.
Banking organizations should retain workpapers and
other records used in the preparation of this report.

B. Report Form Captions and
Instructional Detail
No caption on the report forms shall be changed in
any way. Enter an amount or a zero for all items
except in the cases where the data are calculated
automatically or retrieved from another report. The
items retrieved from other reports are listed in the
General Instructions under Section H (Data Items
Automatically Retrieved from Other Reports).
There may be areas in which a banking organization
wishes to obtain more technical detail on the
application of accounting standards and procedures
to the requirements of these instructions. Such
information may be found in more detail in the
GAAP standards. Selected sections of the GAAP
standards are referenced in the instructions where
appropriate.
Questions and requests for interpretations of matters
appearing in any part of these instructions should be
addressed to the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank
(that is, the Federal Reserve Bank in the district
where the banking organization submits this report).

C. Rounding
Report all dollar amounts in thousands. Each banking
organization, at its option, may round the figures
reported to the nearest million, with zeros reported in
the thousands column. For banking organizations
exercising this option, amounts less than $500,000
will be reported as zero. Rounding could result in
details not adding to their stated totals. However, to
ensure consistent reporting, the rounded detail items

FR Y-15
General Instructions

December 20132015

must be adjusted so that the totals and the sums of
their components are identical.

D. Negative Entries
Except for the item listed below, negative entries are
generally not appropriate on the FR Y-15 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. The only items for which a negative
entry may be made are: Schedule A, item 3,(b),
“Regulatory adjustments;” Schedule F, item 34,
“Total net revenue;” and, Schedule F, item 45,
“Foreign net revenue.” When a negative entry does
occur for these items, it shall be recorded with a
minus (-) sign rather than in parentheses.

E. Confidentiality
Except as otherwise noted, the collected information
will be made available to the public for report dates
beginning December 31, 2013. The following line
items will be kept confidential for the December 31,
2013, report date and made publically available
beginning with the December 31, 2014, report date:
Schedule A, items 1(b)(2) through 2(a)(2) and items
2(b)(2) through 3; and, Schedule C, items 1(a)
through 1(l).. The following line items will be kept
confidential until the first reporting date after the
U.S. rule implementing thefinal liquidity coverage
ratio is finalizeddisclosure standard has been
implemented: Schedule DG, items 7 and 81 through
4.
A reporting banking organization may request
confidential treatment for items on the FR Y-15 if the
banking organization is of the opinion that, due to the
institution’s particular circumstances or activities,
disclosure of specific commercial or financial
information in the report would likely result in
substantial harm to its competitive position, or that
disclosure of the submitted information would result
in unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
A request for line-item confidentiality must be
submitted in writing prior to, or concurrently with,
the electronic submission of the report. The request
must discuss in writing the justification for which
confidentiality is requested and must demonstrate the
specific nature of the harm that would result from

GEN-3

public release of the information. Merely stating that
competitive harm would result or that information is
personal is not sufficient.
Information for which confidential treatment is
requested may subsequently be released by the
Federal Reserve System if the Board of Governors
determines that the disclosure of such information is
in the public interest.
When line-item confidentiality is granted in the
context of the For data items automatically retrieved
from the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank
Holding Companies (FR Y-9C), theline-item
confidentiality must be requested in the context of
the FR Y-9C. Should confidentiality for any such
item be granted, confidential status will
automatically applyextend to the corresponding
itemsdata item on the FR Y-15 (see General
Instructions,
Section
H).
This
confidentialityConfidential status will also extend to
any automatically-calculated items on the FR Y-15
that have been derived from the confidential data
item and that, if released, would reveal the
underlying confidential data.

F. Verification and Signatures
Estimates. For institutions filing this report for the
first time, reasonable estimates are permitted.
Reasonable estimates are also permitted for Schedule
B, item M.1, and Schedule C, items M.1, M.2, and
M.3 for the December 31, 2015 as-of date. Also,
known overestimates are permitted for Schedule C,
items 4 and 5 for the December 31, 2015 as-of date.
Verification. All addition and subtraction should be
double-checked before the report is submitted. Totals
and subtotals should be cross-checked to
corresponding items elsewhere in the report. Before
a report is submitted, all amounts should be
compared with the corresponding amounts in the
previous report. If there are any unusual changes
from the previous report, (i.e., differences that are not
attributable to general organic growth and/or
standard fluctuations in the business cycle), a brief
explanation of the changes should be provided to the
appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. Banking
organizations should contact their district Reserve
Bank for information regarding the submission
procedure.

FR Y-15
General Instructions

December 20132015

Signatures. The FR Y-15 must be signed by the
Chief Financial Officer of the banking organization
(or by the individual performing this equivalent
function). By signing the cover page of this report,
the authorized officer acknowledges that any
knowing and willful misrepresentation or omission
of a material fact on this report constitutes fraud in
the inducement and may subject the officer to legal
sanctions provided by 18 USC 1001 and 1007.
Banking organizations must maintain in their files
a manually signed and attested printout of the data
submitted. The cover page of the submitted report
should be used to fulfill the signature and attestation
requirement. This page should be attached to the
printout placed in the banking organization’s files.

G. Amended Reports
When the Federal Reserve’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
banking organization’s interpretation, the Federal
Reserve may require the banking organization to
reflect the event(s) or transaction(s) in its FR Y-15 in
accordance with the Federal Reserve’s interpretation
and to amend previously submitted reports. The
Federal Reserve will consider the materiality of such
event(s) or transaction(s) in making a determination
about requiring the banking organization to apply the
Federal Reserve’s interpretation and to amend
previously submitted reports. Materiality is a
qualitative characteristic of accounting information
which is defined in Financial Accounting Standards
Board (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.”
The Federal Reserve may require the filing of an
amended FR Y-15 if the report as previously
submitted contains significant errors. In addition, a
banking organization must file an amended report
when internal or external auditors make audit
adjustments that result in a restatement of financial
statements previously submitted to the Federal
Reserve.

GEN-4

The Federal Reserve also requests that banking
organizations that have restated their prior period
financial statements as a result of an acquisition
submit revised reports for the prior year-ends. In the
event that certain of the required data are not
available, banking organizations should contact the
appropriate Federal Reserve Bank for information on
submitting revised reports.

H. Data Items Automatically Retrieved
from Other Reports
Certain data collected on the FR Y-15 may also be
collected in other reports submitted to the Federal
Reserve. If the banking organization files the other
reports at the same level of consolidation as is
required for the FR Y-15, the duplicate data items
will be populated automatically.
If the banking organization files the FR Y-9C for the
same reporting period, using the same calculation
method (i.e., point-in-time or period average), then
the following data items will be populated
automatically:
(1) Schedule A, item 1(a), “Total assets” (FR Y-9C,
Schedule HC, item 12)

(2) Schedule B, item 1416, “Commercial paper”
(FR Y-9C, Schedule HC-M, item 14(a))
(3) Schedule D, item 5, “AFS securities” (FR Y9C, Schedule HC, item 2(b))
(4) Schedule D, item 10, “Assets valued using
Level 3 measurement inputs” (FR Y-9C,
Schedule HC-Q, item 7, Column E)
(5) Schedule D, item M.1, “Held-to-maturity
securities” (FR Y-9C, Schedule HC, item 2(a))
(5)(6) Schedule F, item 1, “Total liabilities” (FR Y9C, Schedule HC, item 21)
(7) Schedule F, item 3, “Total gross revenue” (FR
Y-9C, Schedule HI, item 1(h) plus item 5(m))
(6)(8) Schedule F, item 4, “Total net revenue” (FR
Y-9C, Schedule HI, item 1(h) plus item 5(m)
minus item 2(f))
(10) Schedule F, item 5, “Total gross revenue” (FR
Y-9C, Schedule HI, item 1(h) plus item 5(m))
(11) Schedule F, item 12, “Held-to-maturity
securities” (FR Y-9C, Schedule HC, item 2(a))

(2) Schedule A, item 1(b)(1), “Net value of SFTs”
(FR Y-9C, Schedule HC, item 3(b))

If the banking organization files the Country
Exposure Report (FFIEC 009) for the same reporting
period, then the following data item will be populated
automatically:

(1) Schedule A, item 2(b)(1), “Notional amount of
credit derivatives sold” (FR Y-9C, Schedule
HC-L, items 7(a)(1) through 7(a)(4), Column
A)

(1) Schedule E, item 1, “Foreign claims on an
ultimate-risk basis” (FFIEC 009, Schedule C,
Part II, Columns 1 through 10, Total Foreign
Countries)

LINE ITEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR

Size Indicator
Schedule A
Unless otherwise indicated, all advanced approaches banking organizations must report the data in this
schedule using averages. For on-balance sheet items, report averages over the reporting period using
daily data. For off-balance sheet items, report averages over the reporting period using monthly data (i.e.,
provide the average of the three month-end balances within the quarter). Off-balance sheet items include
the potential future exposure of derivative contracts (item 1(b)), the effective notional amount of offsets
and PFE adjustments for sold credit protection (item 1(g)), counterparty credit risk exposure for SFTs
(item 2(b)), SFT indemnification and other agent-related exposures (item 2(c)), and other off-balance
sheet exposures (item 4). Except where otherwise indicated, respondents that are not advanced
approaches banking organizations must either report all of the data in this schedule using averages or
report all of the data using point-in-time values.
Include all positions, regardless of whether they are included in the trading or banking book. The amounts
provided must be net of specific provisions and valuation adjustments. Several items involve securities
financing transactions (SFTs) (i.e., repo-style transactions), which are transactions such as repurchase
agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and securitysecurities lending and borrowing, where the
value of the transactions depends on the market valuations and the transactions are often subject to margin
agreements.

Total Exposures
Line Item 1

Derivative exposures:

Line Item 1(a) Current exposure of derivative
contracts.
Report the current exposure (i.e., replacement cost)
of all derivative contracts, cleared and non-cleared,
net of qualifying cash variation margin. For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average current exposure of all derivative
contracts, cleared and non-cleared, net of qualifying
cash variation margin, using daily data.
FR Y-15
Schedule A December 20132015

When acting as a financial intermediary in clearing
client derivative contracts (i.e., the principal model,
where the banking organization facilitates the
clearing of derivatives by becoming a direct
counterparty to both the client and the central
counterparty (CCP)), only include the exposures to
the CCP. Where a clearing member banking
organization guarantees the performance of a client
to a CCP (and would thus have a payment obligation
to the CCP in the event of a client default) (i.e., the
agency model), the clearing member banking
organization must treat the exposure associated with
the guarantee as a derivative contract and report the
associated current exposure. However, do not
include the exposure if the client and the clearing
member are affiliates and consolidated on the
A-1

banking organization’s balance sheet. For more
information, see the Glossary entry for “qualifying
cash variation margin.” For a definition of derivative
contract, see 12 CFR 217.2.
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 4 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 1(b)(3) Securities received as )
Potential future exposure (PFE) of derivative
contracts.
Report the potential future exposure for transactions
included in item 1(a), calculated in accordance with
12 CFR 217.34(a). For advanced approaches banking
organizations, report the average potential future
exposure for transactions included in item 1(a),
calculated in accordance with 12 CFR 217.34(a),
using monthly data. Include derivative contracts to
which the banking organization is a counterparty (or
each single-product netting set of such transactions)
along with cleared transactions. Note that a banking
organization may not use cash variation margin to
reduce the net or gross current credit exposure in the
calculation of the net-to-gross ratio.
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 5 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 1(c) Gross-up for derivatives collateral
in securities lending.
Report the amount of securities posted cash and noncash collateral that the banking organization uses to
offset the negative mark-to-fair values of associated
derivative contracts. For advanced approaches
banking organizations, report the average amount of
posted cash and non-cash collateral that the banking
organization uses to offset the negative mark-to-fair
values of associated derivative contracts using daily
data. Do not include qualifying cash variation
margin. Include cash collateral that is reported onbalance sheet under the GAAP offset option that is
not qualifying cash variation margin. For more
information, see the Glossary entry for “qualifying
cash variation margin.”
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 6 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).

Line Item 1(d) Effective notional amount of
written credit derivatives.
Report the effective notional principal amount (that
is, the apparent or stated notional principal amount
multiplied by the effective multiplier in the
derivative contract) of credit derivatives, or other
similar instruments, through which the banking
organization provides credit protection (e.g., credit
default swaps or total return swaps that reference
instruments with credit risk, such as bonds). For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average effective notional principal amount of
credit derivatives, or other similar instruments,
through which the banking organization provides
credit protection, using monthly data. This value
represents the amount owed upon a default event.
The effective notional principal amount of sold credit
protection that the banking organization clears on
behalf of a clearing member client through a CCP
may be excluded.
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 9 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 1(e) Cash variation margin included in
item 1(a) that have beenas an on-balance sheet
receivable.
Report the amount of qualifying cash variation
margin, which is posted to a counterparty to a
derivative contract and included in item 3(a) as an
on-balance sheet receivable. For advanced
approaches banking organizations, report the average
amount of qualifying cash variation margin, which is
posted to a counterparty to a derivative contract and
included in item 3(a) as an on-balance sheet
receivable, using daily data. For more information,
see the Glossary entry for “qualifying cash variation
margin.”
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 7 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 1(f) Exempted central counterparty
legs of client-cleared transactions included in
item 3(a).
Report the current exposure and the PFE for the
exempted CCP legs of client-cleared transactions
under the principal model (i.e., where the clearing

performance of the CCP to the client) that are
included in items 1(a) and 1(b), respectively. For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average current exposure using daily data and the
average PFE using monthly data for the exempted
CCP legs of client-cleared transactions that are
included in items 1(a) and 1(b), respectively.
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 8 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 1(g) Effective notional amount offsets
and PFE adjustments for sold credit protection.

fair value reflected in common equity tier 1 capital
provided that the effective notional amount of the
offsetting purchased credit protection is also reduced
by any resulting positive change in fair value
reflected in common equity tier 1 capital. If a
banking organization purchases credit protection
through a total return swap and records the net
payments received as collateral in net income but
does not record offsetting deterioration in the markto-fair value of the sold credit protection on the
reference exposure (either through reductions in fair
value or by additions to reserves) in common equity
tier 1 capital, the banking organization may not
reduce the effective notional principal amount of the
sold credit protection.

Report the value of effective notional principal
amount offsets and PFE adjustments for sold credit
protection. For advanced approaches banking
organizations, report the average value of effective
notional principal amount offsets and PFE
adjustments for sold credit protection using monthly
data. Offsets include any reduction in the mark-tofair value of the sold credit protection that is
recognized in common equity tier 1 capital, along
with the effective notional principal amount of
purchased credit derivatives or similar instruments
that meet the following criteria (see 12 CFR
217.10(c)(4)(ii)(D)(2)):

This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 10 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).

(1) The remaining maturity of the credit
protection purchased must be equal to or
greater than the remaining maturity of the
credit protection sold; and,

Report the gross value of on-balance sheet assets
related to securities financing transactions. For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average gross value of on-balance sheet assets
related to securities financing transactions using
daily data. Do not include securities that are already
included in item 3(a) (e.g., securities received as
collateral in a principal securities lending
transactions buttransaction that have not been
rehypothecated or sold.). Include the gross value of
cash receivables for reverse repurchase agreements.
Include securities sold under a repurchase
agreements or a securities lending transaction that
qualify for sales treatment under GAAP.

(2) The reference obligation of the purchased
credit protection must be pari passu with or
junior to the underlying reference obligation
of the credit protection sold. If the sold credit
protection references a tranched product, the
purchased credit protection must be on a
reference obligation with the same level of
seniority.
If the effective notional amount of this sold credit
protection is included in item 1(d), the associated
PFE may be reported as an adjustment to avoid
double-counting (see 12 CFR 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(B)(1)
and (2)). However, the associated PFE may not be
reported as an adjustment if it is already being offset
through purchased credit protection.
Note that the effective notional amount of sold credit
protection may be reduced by any negative change in

CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 12(b)() Counterparty credit risk
exposure for SFTs.

A-3

Report the counterparty credit risk exposure for
SFTs. For advanced approaches banking
organizations, report the average counterparty credit
risk exposure for SFTs using monthly data.
Counterparty exposure is determined as the gross fair
value of the securities and cash provided to a
counterparty for all transactions included within a
qualifying master netting agreement less the gross
fair value of the securities and cash received from the
counterparty for those transactions, or zero,
whichever is greater (see the definition of “qualifying
master netting agreement” in 12 CFR 217.2). For
transactions that are not subject to a qualifying
master netting agreement, report the exposure on a
transaction-by-transaction basis, with each SFT
treated as its own netting set. Do not include
transactions where the banking organization acts as
an agent, as these exposures are captured separately
in item 2(c).
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 14 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 2(c) SFT indemnification and other
agent-related exposures.
For transactions where the banking organization acts
as an agent and provides an indemnity to a customer,
report the gross fair value of the securities and cash
lent for all transactions within a qualifying master
netting agreement less the gross fair value of the
securities and cash received from the counterparty
for those transactions, or zero, whichever is greater.
For advanced approaches banking organizations,
report the average gross fair value, using monthly
data, of the securities and cash lent for all
transactions within a qualifying master netting
agreement less the gross fair value of the securities
and cash received from the counterparty for those
transactions, or zero, whichever is greater. For
transactions that are not subject to a qualifying
master netting agreement, report the exposure on a
transaction-by-transaction
basis,
with
each
individual transaction treated as its own netting set.
In cases where the indemnification exceeds the
calculated difference described above, report the full
value of the guarantee. If the banking organization’s
exposure to the underlying security or cash in a
transaction extends beyond the indemnification (e.g.,
when the banking organization manages received
collateral using their own account rather than the
FR Y-15
Schedule A December 20132015

customer’s account), the full value of the underlying
security or cash must be reported.
This item is equivalent to Part 2, line 15 of the
supplemental leverage ratio disclosure table (see 12
CFR 217.173, Table 13).
Line Item 2(d) Gross value of offsetting cash
payables.
Report the gross value of cash payables associated
with repurchase agreements that are permitted to
offset the cash receivables included in item 2(a). For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average gross value of cash payables associated
with repurchase agreements that are permitted to
offset the cash receivables included in item 2(a),
using daily data. Such offset is permitted when the
related SFTs are with the same counterparty, subject
to the same explicit settlement date, and within a
qualifying master netting agreement (see the
definition of “qualifying master netting agreement”
in 12 CFR 217.2) and are limited to the gross value
of the related cash receivable.

excluding the on-balance sheet assets for derivative
transactions and repo‐style transactions. For
advanced approaches banking organizations, report
the average balance sheet carrying value of all on‐
balance sheet assets, including collateral but
excluding the on-balance sheet assets for derivative
transactions and repo‐style transactions, using daily
data. Include the amount of on-balance sheet cash

available for onward lending. Instead, the bank will
only obtain the securities at such time as they can
directly fulfil an outstanding order from the ultimate
borrower. Report the collateral regardless of whether

be reported, regardless of how the agent bank
actually settles the transaction. Payments may be
recorded using either the trade date or the settlement
date as long as the reporting remains consistent
between periods. If both are readily available, the
settlement date should be used.

in the financial markets and often require urgent and timely settlement.
In contrast, retail payments are payments, generally involving low

the definition of derivatives.
Contracts that do not in their entirety meet the
definition of a derivative instrument, such as bonds,
insurance policies, and leases, may contain
‘‘embedded’’ derivative instruments. Embedded
derivatives are implicit or explicit terms within a
contract that affect some or all of the cash flows or
the value of other exchanges required by the contract
in a manner similar to a derivative instrument.
The effect of embedding a derivative instrument in
another
type
of

Report the gross fair value of all assets that are priced
on a recurring basis using Level 3 measurement
inputs. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement,
established a three-level fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value based on
observability. Level 3 fair value measurement inputs,
while not readily observable in the market, are used
to develop an exit price for the asset (or liability)
from the perspective of a market participant.
Therefore, Level 3 fair value measurement inputs
reflect the banking organization’s own assumptions
about the assumptions that a market participant
would use in pricing an asset (or liability) and should
be based on the best information available under the
given circumstances.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the
fair value measurement is categorized is determined

on the basis of the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its

such assets to each other at a future date. Categories
of assets, in descending order of liquidity, are level 1
liquid assets, level 2A liquid assets, level 2B liquid
assets, and assets that are not high-quality liquid
assets (HQLA). Covered asset exchanges do not

currency for settlement specified in the
qualifying master netting agreement, the
credit support annex to the qualifying master
netting agreement, or in the governing rules
for a cleared transaction; and
(5) The derivative contract and the variation
margin are governed by a qualifying master
netting agreement between the legal entities
that are the counterparties to the derivative
contract or by the governing rules for a
cleared transaction. The qualifying master
netting agreement or the governing rules for
a cleared transaction must explicitly
stipulate that the counterparties agree to
settle any payment obligations on a net basis,
