Insured domestically chartered
commercial banks and savings associations (U.S. banks) that have
one or more branch offices in a foreign country are required to
report balance sheet information for each of their foreign branches
on either the FFIEC 030 or the FFIEC 030S. The FFIEC 030 is
collected annually as of December 31 or quarterly for significant
branches as of the last day of each calendar quarter; the FFIEC
030S is an abbreviated reporting form filed annually by smaller
institutions. The Federal Reserve receives reports for all foreign
branches of U.S. banks, regardless of charter type, on behalf of
the U.S. banks’ primary federal bank regulatory agency (Board,
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively the agencies)). The
agencies use the FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S reports to fulfill their
statutory obligation to supervise foreign operations of domestic
banks.
