SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
29, 2019, the agencies requested public
comment on a proposal to extend for
three years, without revision, the FFIEC
009 and FFIEC 009a. The agencies
received one comment letter.
The commenter, a banking trade
association, raised issues related to
consistency in certain defined terms and
reporting treatments between the FFIEC
009 and FFIEC 009a, and other
information collections undertaken by
the FFIEC, its member entities, and
Treasury.
First, the commenter stated that,
while the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a
instructions define domicile of
counterparties on the basis of ‘‘country
of incorporation or charter,’’ the
definition is not uniform across all
FFIEC and Board reports. This
definition, while consistent with that
used in some non-FFIEC reports (i.e.,
Treasury International Capital or ‘‘TIC’’
reports and the Board’s FR Y–15), is
inconsistent with the terms ‘‘principal
business address’’ and ‘‘country in
which the obligor is headquartered’’
used in the Call Report 1 as well as the
Board’s FR Y–9C and FR Y–14Q. The
agencies believe the definition of
domicile using ‘‘country of
incorporation or charter’’ provides a
clearer basis for determination of
domicile and a more consistent basis
over time for the purposes of the FFIEC
009 and FFIEC 009a, which is designed
to provide a more detailed and accurate
view of cross-border country exposures
than the other reports. Accordingly, the
agencies propose to retain the ‘‘country
of incorporation or charter’’ definition
for reporting the domicile of
counterparties in the FFIEC 009 and
FFIEC 009a instructions.
Second, the commenter stated the
FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a instructions,
in defining financial institutions for
sector reporting, include some different
categories of institutions in the nonbank financial institutions sector when
compared to three Board reports (FR Y–
15, FR 2510, and FR Y–9C). The FFIEC
009 instructions specifically include
private equity companies, finance
companies, and mortgage companies
along with other types of institutions in
the definition of non-bank financial

Jkt 247001

institutions, while the instructions for
the Board’s FR Y–15 specifically
exclude finance companies and do not
mention private equity companies or
mortgage companies in the definition of
‘‘financial institutions’’ used in
specifying interconnectedness
indicators (Schedule B). The agencies
note that the definition of non-bank
financial institutions in the Board’s FR
2510 corresponds to the definition used
in the FFIEC 009, and the definition of
‘‘non-depository financial institutions’’
used in the Board’s FR Y–9C (Schedule
HC–C) includes finance companies,
mortgage companies, and mortgage
finance companies among other types of
institutions. The agencies believe that
private equity companies, finance
companies, and mortgage companies are
meaningful components of the non-bank
financial sector for purposes of the
FFIEC 009 and that collected data on
exposures to these types of companies
would be less useful if included
together with the corporate sector. The
agencies also note that it is important
for data collected in the FFIEC 009 to be
comparable to data gathered for the
same purpose by other jurisdictions, so
that these data can be combined by the
Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
into meaningful global aggregate
statistical data that are issued as the BIS
Consolidated Banking Statistics (CBS);
these aggregate data are relied upon by
FFIEC member entities (including the
agencies) and many others to monitor
and analyze global banking and
financial conditions. The definition in
the FFIEC 009 instructions of these
types of companies as non-bank
financial companies conforms with the
definition under the CBS. Therefore, the
agencies propose to retain the definition
of non-bank financial sector that
includes these types of companies.
Third, the commenter stated that, as
a result of a recent change in U.S.
generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), the FFIEC 009 and
FFIEC 009a would collect operating
lease liabilities without capturing
corresponding operating lease assets.
The commenter considered this
treatment to be inappropriately
asymmetric and recommended that
operating lease liabilities be excluded
from reporting on Schedule L of the
FFIEC 009. The agencies agree that
operating lease right-of-use assets
should properly be excluded from
reporting on the FFIEC 009, like other
fixed assets, but believes that operating
lease liabilities are now reportable as
liabilities under GAAP, and thus should
be included in foreign liabilities for
purposes of the FFIEC 009. Unlike

PO 00000

Frm 00110

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

financial-statement collections such as
the Call Report or the Board’s FR Y–9C,
the FFIEC 009 is designed to collect
additional detail for specific types of
claims and liabilities and not to reflect
a comprehensive and symmetric balance
sheet. Therefore, the agencies propose to
not exclude operating lease liabilities
from Schedule L of the FFIEC 009.
Fourth, the commenter noted that
Schedule L of the FFIEC 009 requires
reporting of short sales by country of the
counterparty to which the foreign office
owes delivery until the settlement date.
The commenter believed this treatment
to be inconsistent with the
corresponding treatment in the Board’s
FR 2510, which provides that the
immediate counterparty country and
sector for short sale contracts are those
of the issuer of the financial instrument
that has been sold short. The commenter
recommended that the reporting of short
sales in Schedule L of the FFIEC 009
should be revised to conform with the
treatment provided in the Board’s FR
2510. The agencies also note that the
reporting of short sales in the Board’s
FR 2510 is consistent with the BIS
guidelines for reporting CBS data (‘‘CBS
Guidelines’’).2 Therefore, the agencies
agree with the commenter and propose
to revise the instructions for Schedule L
so that reporting of short sales is based
on the immediate counterparty and
sector of the issuer rather than that of
the counterparty to the short-sale
transaction.
Fifth, the commenter noted a
difference in treatment between the
FFIEC 009 and U.S. GAAP for netting
trading assets against trading liabilities
in the same security (i.e., Committee on
Uniform Security Identification
Procedures (CUSIP) netting) and stated
that changing the FFIEC 009
instructions to align with netting under
U.S. GAAP would reduce the burden on
banking organizations required to report
the FFIEC 009. To address this concern,
the commenter recommended that
CUSIP netting for purposes of the FFIEC
009 be aligned with netting permitted
under U.S. GAAP to simplify the
currently required operational and
reconciliation processes. The agencies
believe that aligning CUSIP netting with
U.S. GAAP for country exposure
reporting would potentially distort such
reporting in cases in which the office
holding the position, the issuer of the
underlying security, and the
counterparty to the short position are
not the same. The agencies also note

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 174 / Monday, September 9, 2019 / Notices
that it is important for data collected in
the FFIEC 009 to be comparable to data
gathered for the same purpose by other
jurisdictions, so that these data can be
combined by the BIS into meaningful
global aggregate statistical data as the
CBS. Aligning CUSIP netting with U.S.
GAAP for country exposure reporting by
U.S. banking organizations in the FFIEC
009 would create a key inconsistency
between U.S. data and data provided by
other jurisdictions which adhere to
International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) because IFRS does not
allow for CUSIP netting. Therefore, the
agencies propose to retain the current,
more limited use of CUSIP netting
described in the FFIEC 009 instructions.
Finally, the commenter suggested that
items to be excluded under Schedule C
and Schedule L of the FFIEC 009 should
be more specifically identified and the
list of exclusions should be expanded.
The commenter recommended that
certain cross-border claims (i.e., bankowned or company-owned life
insurance, deferred tax assets, physical
commodities held in inventory, initial
margin, pension assets, and cash in
vault) should be excluded from
Schedule C of the FFIEC 009 and that
deferred tax liabilities should be
excluded from Schedule L.
As a general matter, the agencies
believe that the decision to include or
exclude items as in Schedule C of the
FFIEC 009 should be based on whether
the items represent financial claims (or,
for Schedule L, foreign office financial
liabilities) in order to provide a proper
and meaningful basis for the agencies to
analyze country exposure, and should
be consistent with the CBS Guidelines
in order that data collected in the FFIEC
009 and FFIEC 009a would be
comparable with data being provided to
CBS by other jurisdictions.
In this context, the agencies agree
with the commenter that bank-owned
and company-owned life insurance,
physical commodities held in inventory,
and pension assets should not be
considered financial claims for purposes
of the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a.
Therefore, the agencies propose to
revise the instructions to exclude these
items from reporting in the FFIEC 009
and FFIEC 009a by adding them to the
list of ‘‘Exclude’’ items in section II.A of
the instructions to the FFIEC 009.
The agencies do not agree with the
commenter with regard to initial margin
because the agencies believe that initial
margin represents a financial claim like
others related to derivatives. The
agencies therefore propose that initial
margin should continue to be reported
as part of derivative claims in Schedule
D.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:43 Sep 06, 2019

Jkt 247001

The agencies believe that cash in
vault represents a financial claim and,
moreover, that this claim is subject to
transfer risk, an important element of
the risks that may be associated with
cross-border financial claims. As a
result, the agencies do not agree with
the commenter and propose that cash in
vault should continue to be reported in
the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a.
Finally, the agencies do not agree
with the commenter that deferred tax
assets and liabilities are not financial
claims. In addition, the agencies note
that deferred tax assets and liabilities
are specifically identified in the CBS
Guidelines as reportable claims
(liabilities). Therefore, the agencies
propose to retain the current inclusion
of deferred tax assets and liabilities
among reportable items in the FFIEC
009 and FFIEC 009a.
To provide sufficient time for
respondents to make any changes to
their reporting systems that may be
needed to reflect the agencies’ proposed
instructional revisions discussed above,
the agencies will permit respondents to
file the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a for
the periods ending September 30, 2019,
and December 31, 2019, using either the
existing definitions or the revised
definitions for the items discussed
above.

General Description of Reports
The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC
009) is filed quarterly with the agencies
and provides information on
international claims of U.S. banks,
savings associations, bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding
companies, and intermediate holding
companies (U.S. banking organizations)
that is used for supervisory and
analytical purposes. The information is
used to monitor the foreign country
exposures of reporting institutions to
determine the degree of risk in their
portfolios and assess the potential risk
of loss. Information reported in the
FFIEC 009 also serves as the source for
country risk exposure data for U.S.
banking organizations that the BIS
combines with comparable data from
other jurisdictions into global aggregate
statistical data on country risk exposure
as the BIS CBS. The Country Exposure
Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a
supplement to the FFIEC 009 and
provides publicly available information
on material foreign country exposures
(all exposures to a country in excess of
1 percent of total assets or 20 percent of
capital, whichever is less) of U.S.
banking organizations that file the
FFIEC 009 report. As part of the Country
Exposure Information Report, reporting
institutions also must furnish a list of
countries in which they have lending
exposures above 0.75 percent of total
assets or 15 percent of total capital,
whichever is less.

(intermediate holding companies); and

confidential treatment.
