Insured financial institutions must
provide quarterly reports of condition and income (Call Reports) to
the appropriate regulatory agency for supervisory, surveillance,
regulatory, research, insurance assessment and informational
purposes. Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires
all insured depository institutions to submit four "reports of
condition" each year to their primary federal bank supervisory
authority, i.e., the FDIC, the OCC, or the FRB, as appropriate.
FDIC-supervised institutions, i.e., insured state nonmember banks
and state savings associations, submit these reports to the FDIC.
The FDIC uses the quarterly Call Reports to monitor the condition
and performance of individual institutions and the industry as a
whole. In addition, Call Reports provide the FDIC with the most
current statistical data available for evaluating depository
institution corporate applications such as mergers; identifying
areas of focus for both on-site and off-site examinations;
calculating all insured institutions' deposit insurance and
Financing Corporation assessments; and other public purposes.
Within the Call Report information collection system as it is
proposed to be revised, separate report forms apply to institutions
that have domestic and foreign offices (FFIEC 031) and to
institutions with domestic offices only (FFIEC 041 and, for those
with total assets less than $1 billion, FFIEC 051). The proposed
revisions to the Call Report that are the subject of this request,
which would involve quarterly reporting unless otherwise indicated,
and their effective dates are summarized as follows The FDIC, the
FRB, and the OCC (collectively, the agencies) are revising the Call
Report information collection in an ongoing effort to reduce the
burden associated with their preparation and filing. The revisions
consolidate, delete, or raise the reporting threshold for a number
of line items, overall continuing the process of reforming the Call
Report to focus on truly valuable information and removing items of
little or no value.
The agencies propose
under the emergency clearance provisions of OMB’s regulations to
revise the Call Reports effective beginning with the June 30, 2018,
report date. The agencies have determined that (1) the collection
of information within the scope of this request is needed prior to
the expiration of time periods established under 5 CFR 1320.10, (2)
this collection of information is essential to the mission of the
agencies, and (3) the agencies cannot reasonably comply with the
normal clearance procedures because an unanticipated event has
occurred and the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably
likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information. These
revisions arise from Congressional enactment of the Economic
Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA).
Section 202 of EGRRCPA requires the FDIC to adjust the definition
of reciprocal deposits and brokered deposits reported on the Call
Report. Section 214 of EGRRCPA requires the agencies to revise the
definition of high volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE) that
banks use to calculate risk-based capital. These provisions became
effective automatically when the law was signed on May 24, 2018.
The agencies must receive data from the quarterly Call Reports as
part of their missions to supervise the safety and soundness of
financial institutions. The next reports are due at the end of July
2018, based on information as of June 30, 2018. In order for the
agencies to implement sections 202 and 214 as required by law, the
agencies cannot comply with the normal clearance process and still
receive the June 30, 2018, financial data in a timely manner.
