INSTRUCTIONS

Selected Balance Sheet Items For
Discount Window Borrowers
FR 2046

Purpose of Report
The Federal Reserve System uses data from this report
to ensure that discount window borrowing is
appropriate.

Scope
The office coverage of this report and, as applicable,
the consolidation basis, correspond to the reporting
institution’s condition report filed with a federal supervisory agency, as follows. (As noted later in these
instructions, the definitions of items on the FR 2046
also correspond in general to definitions on the institution’s condition report).
(1) For U.S. commercial banks (and Savings Associations), the FR 2046 corresponds to the quarterly
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income
(“Call Report”) (FFIEC 031 and 041).
The FR 2046 covers only the domestic offices of
the reporting bank, that is, the bank’s head
office; all branches located in the 50 states of the
U.S., in the District of Columbia, or at a U.S.
military facility, wherever located; and subsidiaries (except Edge and Agreement corporations) located in the 50 states of the U.S. or the
District of Columbia that are consolidated in
the domestic-office Call Report. (Please note
that International Banking Facilities (IBFs) are
foreign, not domestic, offices of the reporting
bank.) For banks with domestic offices only, the
coverage of the FR 2046 is the same as the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a
Bank with Domestic Offices Only (FFIEC 041).
For banks with foreign offices—that is, branches
or subsidiaries located in Puerto Rico, U.S. territories or possessions, or in foreign countries;
FR 2046
Instructions

Edge or Agreement subsidiaries (including both
their U.S. and their foreign offices); or an IBF—
the coverage of the FR 2046 is the same as the
domestic-office part of the Consolidated Reports
of Condition and Income for a Bank With
Domestic and Foreign Offices (FFIEC 031).
Please refer to the Call Report instructions for
detailed information on consolidation. However, for purposes of the FR 2046, accounts of
domestic subsidiaries that are not available on a
timely basis may be consolidated with a lag, or
amounts reported for such subsidiaries may be
estimated for use in the process of consolidation. Also, where line-by-line exclusion of transactions with foreign offices is not possible within
the given time schedule, amounts to be excluded
may be estimated.
Note: The FR 2046 is also comparable to the
Weekly Report of Selected Assets and Liabilities
of Domestically Chartered Commercial Banks
and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign
Banks (FR 2644).
(2) For U.S. branches and agencies of foreign (nonU.S.) banks, the FR 2046 corresponds to the
Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches
and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002),
with one major difference: the FR 2046 collects
data on the branch or agency excluding its own
IBF. With the IBF exclusion, the FR 2046 is
comparable to the Weekly Report of Selected
Assets and Liabilities of Domestically Chartered
Commercial Banks and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FR 2644).
(3) For credit unions, the FR 2046 corresponds to
the Financial and Statistical Report (NCUA
5300).

Instructions

Any FR 2046 respondent that does not file one of the
above condition reports should contact its Federal
Reserve Bank for instructions.

Frequency
For primary and secondary credit borrowers, this
report is filed as requested by the Federal Reserve
Bank. Each weekly report covers five business days of
data for the week ending on Wednesday.
For seasonal credit borrowers, this report is filed
weekly for any two-week reporting period in which
borrowing was outstanding on one or more days. The
Federal Reserve Bank will indicate the dates for which
the report is required. Each weekly report covers
Wednesdays-only data.

Preparation of Reports
This report collects amounts outstanding, reported to
the nearest thousand U.S. dollars, as of the close of
business each day. For any day on which the reporting
institution was closed, report the closing balance as of
the preceding day.

Exceptions to Reporting
Institutions that file the Federal Reserve’s Report of
Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash
(FR 2900) weekly need not report Item 5, Total deposits, on the FR 2046.
Seasonal credit borrowers that file the Weekly Report
of Selected Assets and Liabilities of Domestically Chartered Commercial Banks and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FR 2644) with the Federal
Reserve should not report Item 1, Total securities,
Item 2, Federal funds sold and resale agreements,
Item 3, Total loans, Item 4, Total assets, or Item 5,
Total deposits on the FR 2046.

Item Definitions
In general, definitions of items on the FR 2046 correspond to item definitions on the institution’s condition
report cited above. A table that indicates the item-bytem relationships between the FR 2046 and the appropriate condition report accompanies these instructions.

provided below under “Supplementary Instructions.”
(These instructions also may be used as an overview by
U.S. commercial banks and U.S. branches and agencies
of foreign banks, with full details provided in the
instructions for their respective condition reports.)

This includes sales of “federal funds,” securities
purchased under agreements to resell, and other

other instruments).
This includes purchases of so-called “federal

agreements (also called “dollar rolls”).
(6) Discount window borrowings and similar
advances from a Federal Reserve Bank,
advances from a Federal Home Loan Bank, and
advances from the NCUA Central Liquidity
Facility. (Please note, however, that repurchase
agreements with these institutions are included

the inclusion list above.)

Definitions of Terms
Federal funds transactions involve lending (federal
funds sold) or borrowing (federal funds purchased) in
domestic offices of immediately available funds under
agreements that have an original maturity of one business day or rollover under a continuing contract.
Repurchase/resale agreements. A repurchase agreement
is a transaction involving the ‘‘sale” of financial assets
by one party to another, subject to an agreement by the
seller to repurchase the assets at a specified date or in
specified circumstances. A resale agreement (also
known as a reverse repurchase agreement) is a transaction involving the purchase of financial assets by one
party from another, subject to an agreement by the
purchaser to resell the assets at a specified date or in
specified circumstances. Repurchase/resale agreements
can involve U.S. government and federal agency securities, other securities, loans, and other assets.
Immediately-available funds are funds that the purchaser can either use or dispose of on the same business day that the transaction giving rise to the receipt
or disposal of the funds is executed.
The borrowing or lending of immediately-available
funds is for one business day if the funds borrowed on
one business day are to be repaid or the transaction
reversed on the next business day—that is, if
immediately-available funds borrowed today are to be
repaid tomorrow (in tomorrow’s immediately-available
funds). Such transactions include those made on a Friday to mature or be reversed the following Monday

and those made on the last business day prior to a holiday (for either or both parties to the transaction) to
mature or be reversed on the first business day following the holiday.

has no specified maturity and does not require advance
notice of either party to terminate. Such contracts may
also be known as rollovers or as open-ended
agreements.

A continuing contract is a contract or agreement that
remains in effect for more than one business day but
