This report was implemented in March
1986 as part of the procedures used to administer the Federal
Reserve's Payment System Risk (PSR) policy. A key component of the
PSR policy is a limit, or a net debit cap, on an institution’s
negative intraday balance in its Reserve Bank account. The Federal
Reserve calculates an institution’s net debit cap by applying the
multiple associated with the net debit cap category to the
institution’s capital. For foreign banking organizations (FBOs), a
percentage of the FBO’s capital measure, known as the U.S. capital
equivalency, is used to calculate the FBO’s net debit cap. FBOs
that wish to establish a positive net debit cap and have a strength
of support assessment (SOSA) 1 or SOSA 2 ranking or hold a
financial holding company (FHC) designation are required to submit
the FR 2225 to their Administrative Reserve Bank (ARB).
