INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE

Country Exposure Information Report
FFIEC 009a

(Effective September 2014)

General Instructions
This report is a supplement to the Country Exposure Report (Form FFIEC 009) filed with the banking
regulatory agencies for bank examination purposes. The purpose of the Country Exposure Information
Report is to provide public disclosure of significant country exposures of U.S. banking institutions.
Copies of the report are available to the public by accessing the following website
http:/www.ffiec.gov/E16.htm.
Who Must Report
This report must be filed by every institution that submits Form FFIEC 009 and that has exposure meeting
the reporting requirements for Form FFIEC 009a as defined in these instructions.
This supplemental disclosure report (Form FFIEC 009a) has two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will be
completed when exposure, as defined for Column 4, Part A, to a single country, excluding the United
States, exceeds one percent of the banking institution’s total assets or exceeds 20 percent of the banking
institution’s total capital, whichever is less. All columns included in Part A should only be completed for
the countries that exceed these thresholds. Part B will be used to report the names of the countries where
the amount of exposure exceeds 0.75 percent but does not exceed 1 percent of the banking institution’s
total assets or is between 15 percent and 20 percent of the banking institution’s total capital, whichever is
less. The banking institution must only list the names of the countries and the aggregate amount of
exposure for all countries listed under Part B. For the purposes of meeting these criteria, exposure is
defined as the amount of total claims computed in accordance with the instructions to Column 4, Part A.
Total assets of reporting banks are those submitted on the Report of Condition to the federal bank
supervisors as of the same date. For bank holding companies total assets are those submitted on the most
recent Form FR Y-9.
Total capital is as defined in the agencies’ guidelines on capital adequacy and consists of Tier 1 plus
Tier 2 capital.
Public Release of Country Exposure Information Reports
The individual FFIEC 009a reports are made publicly available.
A reporting institution may request confidential treatment for some or all of the portions of the FFIEC
009a if the institution is of the opinion that disclosure of specific commercial or financial information in
the report would likely cause substantial harm to its competitive position. In certain limited
circumstances, the reporting institution’s primary federal supervisor may approve confidential treatment
of some or all of the items for which such treatment has been requested if the institution has clearly
provided a compelling justification for the request. A request for confidential treatment must be

submitted in writing prior to the electronic submission of the report. The written request must identify the
specific items for which confidential treatment is requested, provide justification for the confidential
treatment requested for the identified items, and demonstrate the specific nature of the harm that would
result from public release of the information. Merely stating that competitive harm would result is not
sufficient. Information for which confidential treatment is requested may subsequently be released by the
reporting institution’s primary federal supervisor in accordance with the terms of 12 CFR 4.16 (OCC), 12
CFR 261.16 (Board), 12 CFR 309.6 (FDIC), or as otherwise provided by law.
Filing of Reports
The report is to be prepared quarterly, as of the last calendar day of March, June, September, and
December. All respondents should submit their completed report, each quarter they meet the reporting
requirements, to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), via the Federal Reserve System’s
Reporting Central system, within 45 calendar days after the March 31, June 30, and September 30 as-of
date. The submission deadline is 50 calendar days after the December 31 as-of date.
