Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report) for Bank with Domestic Offices Only and Total Assets Less than $5 Billion - FFIEC 051

Draft Revisions to the Call Report Instructions for Proposed Revisions to the FFIEC 051
Call Reports with Effective Dates Beginning with the March 31, 2020, Report Date
These draft instructions, which are subject to change, present the pages from the FFIEC 051 instruction book as they
are proposed to be revised, subject to final approval by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. These proposed
revisions are described in the federal banking agencies’ initial Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Federal Register
notice published on July 22, 2020. As discussed in the agencies’ final PRA Federal Register notice published in the
Federal Register on November 23, 2020, the agencies are proceeding with the revisions to the FFIEC 051 Call Report
instruction book, with certain modifications. The initial and final notices are available on the FFIEC’s web page for the
FFIEC 051 Call Report.

AF
T

The revisions to the report form with the effective date of June 30, 2020, pertain to interim final rules (IFRs) and a final
rule published by one or all of the banking agencies from March through June 2020 as well as Section 4013 of the
2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which provides optional temporary relief from
accounting for eligible loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings. The IFRs and final rule revise certain
aspects of the agencies’ regulatory capital rule, amend the Federal Reserve Board’s (Board) Regulation D on reserve
requirements, except certain insider loans from the Board’s Regulation O, and modify the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation’s (FDIC) deposit insurance assessment rules. In the second quarter, the agencies received emergency
approvals from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to implement changes to the Call Report arising from these
interim final rules, the final rule, and Section 4013 of the CARES Act.

through 38.c, and makes that election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a. A qualifying institution can opt
out of the CBLR framework by completing Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II, excluding Schedule RC-R,
Part I, items 32 through 38.c. However, an otherwise qualifying institution’s primary federal supervisory
authority may disallow the institution’s use of the CBLR framework based on the supervisory authority’s
evaluation of the risk profile of the institution.

On April 23, 2020, the federal banking agencies published two interim final rules to provide temporary
relief to community banking organizations with respect to the CBLR framework. The statutory interim final
rule implements Section 4012 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act),
which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community bank leverage ratio qualifying criterion
from 9 percent to 8 percent. The temporary changes to the CBLR framework implemented by the
statutory interim final rule will cease to be effective as of the earlier of the termination date of the national
emergency concerning the coronavirus disease declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under the
National Emergencies Act (National Emergency), or December 31, 2020. After this date, the transition
interim final rule becomes effective and provides community banking organizations with a clear and
gradual transition, by January 1, 2022, back to the greater than 9 percent leverage ratio qualifying
criterion previously established by the agencies. The other qualifying criteria in the CBLR framework
have not been modified by the interim final rules.
A qualifying institution with a leverage ratio that exceeds the applicable leverage ratio requirement and
opts into the CBLR framework shall be considered to have met: (i) the generally applicable risk-based
and leverage capital requirements in the agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements to be
considered well capitalized under the agencies’ prompt corrective action (PCA) framework (in the case of
insured depository institutions); and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements.1

R

Temporary Change to the Leverage Ratio Requirement under the CBLR Framework (i.e., the statutory
interim final rule) – Under this temporary change in the CBLR framework, an institution may qualify for the
CBLR framework if its leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 8 percent (as reported in Schedule RC-R,
Part I, item 31) and it meets the qualifying criteria: it has less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets
(Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 32); is not part of an advanced approaches banking organization; has total
trading assets and trading liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets (Schedule RC-R,
Part I, item 33); and has total off-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives other than sold credit
derivatives and unconditionally cancelable commitments) of 25 percent or less of total consolidated
assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 34).

D

This temporary change in the CBLR framework will cease to be effective as of the earlier of the
termination date of the National Emergency or December 31, 2020. The statutory interim final rule also
includes a grace period. When this rule is in effect, the minimum leverage ratio under the grace period is
equal to or greater than 7 percent.
Transition Provisions (i.e., the transition interim final rule) – Upon the expiration of the statutory interim
final rule, the transition interim final rule will become effective. Under the provisions of the transition
interim final rule, an institution may qualify for the CBLR framework if its leverage ratio is greater than
8 percent in the second through fourth quarters of calendar year 2020 (if applicable), greater than
8.5 percent in calendar year 2021, and greater than 9 percent in calendar year 2022 and thereafter
and it meets the qualifying criteria listed in the preceding section on the statutory interim final rule. Also,
the two-quarter grace period for a qualifying institution will take into account the graduated increase in the
community bank leverage ratio requirement qualifying criterion. In order to maintain eligibility for the
CBLR framework during the transition period, an institution’s leverage ratio cannot fall more than one
percentage point below the community bank leverage ratio requirement qualifying criterion.

Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) Framework in Calendar Year 2022 and Thereafter ‒ In general,
an institution may qualify for the CBLR framework if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9 percent (as
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31); has less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets
(Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 32); is not an advanced approaches institution;1 has total trading assets and
trading liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 33); and
has total off-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives other than sold credit derivatives and
unconditionally cancelable commitments) of 25 percent or less of total consolidated assets (Schedule RCR, Part I, item 34). However, an otherwise qualifying institution’s primary federal supervisory authority
may disallow the institution’s use of the CBLR framework based on the supervisory authority’s evaluation
of the risk profile of the institution.
A qualifying institution with a leverage ratio that exceeds 9 percent and opts into the CBLR framework
shall be considered to have met: (i) the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital
requirements in the agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements to be considered well
capitalized under the agencies’ prompt corrective action (PCA) framework (in the case of insured
depository institutions); and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements.2

Ceasing to Meet the Leverage Ratio Requirement under Have a the CBLR FrameworkGreater Than 9
Percent or Failing to Meet Any of the Other CBLR Qualifying Criteria ‒ A qualifying institution that
temporarily fails to meet any of the qualifying criteria, including the applicable greater than 9 percent
leverage ratio requirement, generally would still be deemed well-capitalized so long as the institution
maintains a leverage ratio that does not fall more than one percentage point below the leverage ratio
requirement during the two-quarter grace period. greater than 8 percent. At the end of the grace period
(see below for an example), the institution must meet all qualifying criteria to remain in the CBLR
community bank leverage ratio framework or otherwise must apply and report under the generally
applicable capital rule. Similarly, an institution with a leverage ratio that is not within one percentage point
of the leverage ratio requirement qualifying criterion under the CBLR framework of 8 percent or less is not
eligible for the grace period and must comply with the generally applicable capital rule, i.e., for the
calendar quarter in which the institution reports a leverage ratio of 8 percent or less, by completing all of
Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II, as applicable, excluding Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32 through 38.c.
Under the CBLR framework, the grace period will begin as of the end of the calendar quarter in which the
CBLR electing institution ceases to satisfy any of the qualifying criteria and has a maximum period of and
will end after two consecutive calendar quarters. For example, if the CBLR electing institution had met all
of the qualifying criteria as of March 31, 2020, but no longer meets one of the qualifying criteria as of
February May 15, 2020, and still does not meet the criteria as of the end of that quarter, the grace period
for such an institution will begin as of the end of the quarter ending March 31June 30, 2020. The
institution may continue to use the community bank leverage ratioCBLR framework as of June September
30, 2020, but will need to comply fully with the generally applicable capital rule (including the associated
Schedule RC-R reporting requirements) as of September 30December 31, 2020, unless the institution
once again meets all qualifying criteria of the CBLR framework, including a the leverage ratio requirement
qualifying criterionof greater than 9 percent, before that time.

If a CBLR electing institution is in the grace period when the required community bank leverage ratio
increases, the institution would be subject, as of the date of that change, to both the higher community
bank leverage ratio requirement and higher grace period leverage ratio requirement. For example, if a
CBLR electing institution that had met all of the qualifying criteria as of September 30, 2020, has a 7.2
percent community bank leverage ratio (but meets all of the other qualifying criteria) as of December 31,
2020, the grace period for such an institution will begin as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. The
institution may continue to use the CBLR framework as of March 31, 2021, if the institution has a leverage
ratio of greater than 7.5 percent, and will need to comply fully with the generally applicable capital rule
(including the associated Schedule RC-R reporting requirements) as of June 30, 2021, unless the
institution has a leverage ratio of greater than 8.5 percent (and meets all of the other qualifying criteria) by
that date. In this example, if the institution has a leverage ratio equal to or less than 7.5 percent as of
March 31, 2021, it would not be eligible to use the CBLR framework and would be subject immediately to
the requirements of the generally applicable capital rule.

An institution that is subject to the advanced approaches capital rule (i.e., an advanced approaches institution as
defined in the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital rules) is (i) a subsidiary of a global systemically important
bank holding company, as identified pursuant to 12 CFR 217.402; (ii) a Category II institution; (iii) a subsidiary of a
depository institution that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR
part 217 (Board), or 12 CFR part 324 (FDIC) to calculate its risk-based capital requirements; (iv) a subsidiary of a
bank holding company or savings and loan holding company that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to
subpart E of 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its risk-based capital requirements; or (v) an institution that elects to use
the advanced approaches to calculate its risk-based capital requirements.
Category II institutions include institutions with (1) at least $700 billion in total consolidated assets or (2) at least
$75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity and at least $100 billion in total consolidated assets. In addition, depository
institution subsidiaries of Category II institutions are considered Category II institutions.

3-Year and 5-Year 2020 CECL Transition Provisions
In 2019, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule that, among other provisions, revised the
agencies’ regulatory capital rule and included a transition option that allows institutions to phase in over a
3-year transition period the day-one effects of adopting the current expected credit losses methodology
(CECL) on their regulatory capital ratios (2019 CECL rule).
In 2020, the agencies issued a final rule that provides institutions that implement CECL during the 2020
calendar year the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative
to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a 3-year transition period,
thereby resulting in a 5-year transition period (2020 CECL rule).

AF
T

Eligibility for, and Transition Period under, the 3-Year CECL Transition – An institution is eligible to use
the 3-Year CECL transition provision if it experiences a reduction in retained earnings due to CECL
adoption as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL. The transition period
under the 3-year CECL transition provision means the three-year period beginning the first day of the
fiscal year in which an institution adopts CECL and reflects CECL in its first Call Report filed after that
date.
An institution that is eligible to use the 3-year CECL transition provision may elect to phase in the
regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL over a 3-year transition period (a 3-year CECL electing
institution). A 3-year CECL electing institution is required to begin applying the 3-year CECL transition
provision as of the electing banking organization’s CECL adoption date. A 3-year CECL electing
institution must indicate in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 2.a, its election to use the 3-year CECL transition
provision and must report the transitional amounts, as defined below and as applicable, in the affected
items of Schedule RC-R, adjusted for the transition provisions, beginning in the Call Report for the quarter
in which the institution first reports its credit loss allowances as measured under CECL.
An institution that does not elect to use the 3-year CECL transition provision in the Call Report for the
quarter in which it first reports its credit loss allowances as measured under CECL is not permitted to
make an election in subsequent reporting periods and is required to reflect the full effect of CECL in its
regulatory capital ratios beginning as of the institution’s CECL adoption date.

R

An institution that initially elects to use the 3-year CECL transition provision, but opts out of this
transition provision in a subsequent reporting period, is not permitted to resume using the 3-year CECL
transition provision at a later date within the 3-year transition period. An institution may opt out of
applying the transition provision by reflecting the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital in Call Report
Schedule RC-R.

D

Eligibility for the 5-Year 2020 CECL Transition – An institution is eligible to use the 5-Year 2020 CECL
transition provision if it adopts CECL under U.S. GAAP as of the first day of a fiscal year that begins
during the 2020 calendar year and:
(1) Reports a decrease in retained earnings immediately upon adoption of CECL; or
(2) Would report a positive modified CECL transitional amount (as defined below) in any quarter ending
in 2020 after adopting CECL.
An institution must indicate in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 2.a, its election to use the 5-year 2020 CECL
transition provision in calendar year 2020 in the first Call Report filed after the institution adopts CECL or
the same Call Report in which the institution first reports a positive modified CECL transitional amount for
any calendar quarter ending in 2020 (5-year CECL electing institution).
Even if an institution elects to use the 5-Year 2020 CECL transition provision, the institution may only
reflect the regulatory capital adjustments set forth in the 2020 CECL rule in the quarter or quarters in
which the institution implements CECL for regulatory reporting purposes. An institution that has elected
the 5-year 2020 CECL transition provision, but would not report a positive modified CECL transitional
amount in a particular quarter, is not required to make the adjustments in Call Report Schedule RC-R in
that quarter.

Transition Period under the 5-Year 2020 CECL Transition – Beginning with the earlier of:
(1) The first quarter of the fiscal year in which an institution was required to adopt CECL under
U.S. GAAP (as in effect on January 1, 2020), or
(2) The first day of a fiscal year that begins in the 2020 calendar year in which the institution files
Call Reports reflecting CECL,
and for the subsequent 19 quarters (for a total of 20 quarters or the five-year transition period), an
institution is permitted to make the adjustments described below to amounts used in calculating
regulatory capital. If an institution temporarily ceases using CECL during this period (i.e., due to election
of Section 4014 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) 1), the institution
may not reflect regulatory capital adjustments for any quarter (during the first 8 quarters) in which it did
not implement CECL, but it would be allowed to apply the transition in subsequent quarters when the
institution uses CECL. However, an institution that has elected the transition, but does not apply it in any
quarter, does not receive any extension of the transition period.

AF
T

Example 1: An institution was required to adopt CECL on January 1, 2020. This institution, however,
delays adoption of CECL under Section 4014 of the CARES Act until July 1, 2020, and elects to use
the 5-Year 2020 CECL transition provision. This institution’s transition period begins on January 1,
2020, despite not adopting CECL until July 1, 2020. As such, on July 1, 2020, this institution would
have 18 quarters, 2 including the quarter of adoption, remaining in its transition period.
Example 2: An institution was required to adopt CECL on October 1, 2020, and elects to use the
5-Year 2020 CECL transition provision. This institution does not delay adoption of CECL under
Section 4014 of the CARES Act. This institution’s transition period begins on October 1, 2020. As
such, on October 1, 2020, this institution would have 20 quarters, including the quarter of adoption,
remaining in its transition period.
For the first 8 quarters after the start of its transition period, an institution is permitted to make an
adjustment of 100 percent of the transitional items calculated below for each quarter in which the
institution applies CECL. Beginning with the ninth quarter of the transition period, the institution phases
out the cumulative adjustment as calculated at the end of the eighth quarter (i.e., the first two years of the
5-Year 2020 CECL transition provision) over the following 12 quarters as follows: 75 percent adjustment
in quarters 9-12 (i.e., Year three); 50 percent adjustment in quarters 13-16 (i.e., Year four); and
25 percent adjustment in quarters 17-20 (i.e., Year five).

R

Definitions – Institutions that elect either the 3-year CECL transition provision or the 5-year 2020 CECL
transition provision must calculate the following amounts, as applicable. AACL refers to Adjusted
Allowances for Credit Losses and ALLL refers to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, both as
defined in the regulatory capital rule (12 CFR 3.2 (OCC); 12 CFR 217.2 (Board); and 12 CFR 324.2
(FDIC)).
CECL transitional amount means the difference, net of any deferred tax assets (DTAs), in the amount
of an institution’s retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution
adopts CECL from the amount of the institution’s retained earnings as of the closing of the fiscal yearend immediately prior to the institution’s adoption of CECL.

•

DTA transitional amount means the difference in the amount of an institution’s DTAs arising from
temporary differences as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL from
the amount of the institution’s DTAs arising from temporary differences as of the closing of the fiscal
year-end immediately prior to the institution’s adoption of CECL.

•

Section 4014 allows an institution to delay the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13),
i.e., CECL, until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2020, or (2) the termination of the national emergency concerning the
coronavirus disease declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act.

In addition, institutions that elect the 5-year 2020 CECL transition provision must calculate the following
amounts:
Modified CECL transitional amount means:
o During the first two years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported in
the most recent Call Report, and the AACL as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the
institution adopts CECL, multiplied by 0.25, plus the CECL transitional amount, and
o During the last three years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported

Example and a Worksheet Calculation for the 3-year CECL Transition Provision –
Assumptions:
•
•

•

•

For example, consider an institution that elects to apply the 3-year CECL transition and has a CECL
effective date of January 1, 2020, and a 21 percent tax rate.
On the closing balance sheet date immediately prior to adopting CECL (i.e., December 31, 2019), the
3-year CECL electing institution has $10 million in retained earnings and $1 million in the allowance
for loan and lease losses. On the opening balance sheet date immediately after adopting CECL
(i.e., January 1, 2020), the 3-year CECL electing institution has $1.2 million in allowances for credit
losses (ACL), which also equals $1.2 million of AACL, as defined in the regulatory capital rules.
The 3-year CECL electing institution recognizes the effect of the adoption of CECL as of January 1,
2020, by recording an increase in its ACL of $200,000 (credit), with an offsetting increase in
temporary difference DTAs of $42,000 (debit) and a reduction in beginning retained earnings of
$158,000 (debit).
For each of the quarterly reporting periods in year 1 of the transition period (i.e., 2020), the 3-year
CECL electing institution increases both retained earnings and average total consolidated assets by
$118,500 ($158,000 x 75 percent), decreases temporary difference DTAs by $31,500 ($42,000 x
75 percent), and decreases AACL by $150,000 ($200,000 x 75 percent) for purposes of calculating its

Example of Application of the 5-Year CECL Transition Provision for Third Quarter 2020 –

As an example, assume an institution is required under U.S. GAAP to adopt CECL on January 1, 2020.
This institution chose not to delay adoption of CECL for Call Report purposes under the provisions of
Section 4014 of the CARES Act, and elected to use the 5-year 2020 CECL transition provision in the
March 31, 2020, Call Report. This institution’s 5-year 2020 CECL transition period begins on January 1,
2020.

The institution’s December 31, 2019, Call Report reflected the following amounts:
• ALLL: $120
• Temporary Difference DTAs: $20
• Retained earnings: $200
• Eligible credit reserves (advanced approaches institutions only): $110

D

On January 1, 2020, the institution adopted CECL and reflected the following amounts:
• AACL: $150
• AACL transitional amount = $150 - $120 = $30
(AACL on 1/1/20 – ALLL on 12/31/19)
• Temporary difference DTAs: $30
• DTA transitional amount = $30 - $20 = $10
(DTAs on 1/1/20 – DTAs on 12/31/19)
• Retained earnings: $180
• CECL transitional amount = $200 - $180 = $20
(Retained earnings on 12/31/19 – retained earnings on 1/1/20)
• Eligible credit reserves (advanced approaches institutions only): $140
• Eligible credit reserves transitional amount (advanced approaches institutions only) = $140 - $110 = $30
(Eligible credit reserves on 1/1/20 – eligible credit reserves on 12/31/19)
On September 30, 2020, the institution reflected the following amounts:
• AACL: $170
• Modified AACL transitional amount = ($170-$150)*0.25 + $30 = $35
(AACL on 9/30/20 – AACL on 1/1/20)*0.25 + AACL transitional amount)
• Modified CECL transitional amount = ($170-$150)*0.25 + $20 = $25

for this purpose, an institution would not include items that are deducted from capital under
section 22(a). However, an institution would include risk-weighted asset amounts of items
deducted from capital under sections 22(c) through (f) of the regulatory capital rule. While
amounts deducted from capital under sections 22(c) through (f) are included in the
risk-weighted assets base for the ALLL or AACL calculation, as applicable, such amounts
are excluded from standardized total risk-weighted assets used in the denominator of the

Capital Buffer
Item No.
52

Caption and Instructions
Institution-specific capital conservation buffer necessary to avoid limitations on
distributions and discretionary bonus payments. In order to avoid limitations on
distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to
executive officers, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum
risk-based capital requirements.
Report the institution’s capital conservation buffer as a percentage, rounded to four decimal
places. Except as described below, the capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest of
ratios (1), (2), and (3) below.

AF
T

For example, the capital conservation buffer to be reported in this item 52 for the June 30,
2020, report date would be based on the capital ratios reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, of
the Call Report for June 30, 2020.
(1) Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 49, less 4.5000 percent, which is the minimum common
equity tier 1 capital ratio requirement under section 10 of the regulatory capital rules;
(2) Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 50, less 6.0000 percent, which is the minimum tier 1 capital
ratio requirement under section 10 of the regulatory capital rules; and
(3) Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 51, less 8.0000 percent, which is the minimum total capital
ratio requirement under section 10 of the regulatory capital rules.
However, if any of the three ratios calculated above is less than zero (i.e., is negative), the
institution’s capital conservation buffer is zero.
NOTE: Institutions must complete Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 53, only if the amount reported in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 52, above, is less than or equal to 2.5000 percent.

Eligible retained income. Report the amount of eligible retained income as the greater of
(1) the reporting institution’s net income attributable to the institution for the four preceding
calendar quarters preceding the current calendar quarter, net of any distributions and
associated tax effects not already reflected in net income and (2) the average of the reporting
institution’s net income over the four preceding calendar quarters. (See the instructions for

For purposes of this item 53, the four preceding calendar quarters refers to the calendar
quarter ending on the last day of the current reporting period and the three preceding
calendar quarters as illustrated in the example below. The average of an institution’s net
income over the four preceding calendar quarters refers to the average of three-month net
income for the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the current reporting period and the
three-month net income for the three preceding calendar quarters as illustrated in the
example below.
For example, the amount of eligible retained income to be reported in this item 53 for the
December 31, 2019, report date would be based on the net income attributable to the
institution for the four calendar quarters ending on December 31, 2019. This net income
amount would equal the net income attributable to the institution most recently reported in

(2) Adding the result from (1) above to the net income attributable to the institution most
recently reported in Schedule RI, item 14, for March 31, 2020 (i.e., after adjustments for

NOTE: Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 1 through 25, columns A through U, as applicable, are to be completed
semiannually in the June and December reports only. Items 26 through 31 are to be completed quarterly.
The instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 1 through 22, provide general directions for the
allocation of bank balance sheet assets, credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet
items, and unsettled transactions to the risk-weight categories in columns C through Q (and, for items 1
through 10 only, to the adjustments to the totals in Schedule RC-R, Part II, column A, to be reported in
column B). In general, the aggregate amount allocated to each risk-weight category is then multiplied by
the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting risk-weighted values from each of the risk
categories are added together, and generally this sum is the bank's total risk-weighted assets, which
comprises the denominator of the risk-based capital ratios.

These instructions should provide sufficient guidance for most banks for risk-weighting their balance sheet
assets and credit equivalent amounts. However, these instructions do not address every type of exposure.

gain that is included in AOCI. In Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, the bank would report
in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b:
a. $105 in column A. This is the carrying value of the AFS debt security on the bank’s
balance sheet.
b. $5 in column B. This is the difference between the carrying value (i.e., fair value) of
the debt security and its exposure amount that is subject to risk weighting. For a
bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election, column B will typically represent the
amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss on the security. Gains are reported
as positive numbers; losses as negative numbers. (Note: If the bank has not made
or cannot make the opt-out election, there will be no adjustment to be reported in
column B.)
c. $100 is the exposure amount subject to risk weighting. This amount will be reported
under the appropriate risk weight associated with the exposure (columns C through
J). For a bank that has made the opt-out election, the exposure amount typically will
be the carrying value (i.e., fair value) of the debt security excluding any unrealized
gain or loss.
•

In column B, for a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election and is required to have
adopted ASU 2016-01, no amount should be included for equity securities and preferred
stock classified as an equity under GAAP with readily determinable fair values that are
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column A.

•

In column B, include the amount of:
o Investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions that are reported in

item 2.c (for a bank that is required to have adopted ASU 2016-01), and have been
deducted from capital in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 13, item 24, and item 45.
In column C–0% risk weight, the zero percent risk weight applies to exposures to the U.S.
government, a U.S. government agency, or a Federal Reserve Bank, and those
exposures otherwise unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government. Include
exposures to or unconditionally guaranteed by the FDIC or the NCUA. Certain foreign
government exposures and certain entities listed in §.32 of the regulatory capital rules
may also qualify for zero percent risk weight. Also include the exposure amount of AFS
debt securities purchased through the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility.

Eligible loan modifications under Section 4013, Temporary Relief from Troubled
Debt Restructurings, of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
Act. As provided for under the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,
a financial institution may elect to account for an eligible loan modification under Section
4013 of that Act (Section 4013 loan). If a loan modification is not eligible under Section
4013, or if the institution elects not to account for an eligible loan modification under
Section 4013, the institution should not report the loan in Memorandum items 17.a and
17.b and should instead evaluate whether the modified loan is a troubled debt
restructuring (TDR) under ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables–Troubled Debt
Restructurings by Creditors.

To be an eligible loan modification under Section 4013, a loan modification must be (1)
related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19); (2) executed on a loan that was
not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between
March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the national
emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President on March 13,
2020, under the National Emergencies Act or (B) December 31, 2020.
Institutions accounting for eligible loan modifications under Section 4013 are not required
to apply ASC Subtopic 310-40 to the Section 4013 loans for the term of the loan
modification. Financial institutions do not have to report Section 4013 loans as TDRs in
regulatory reports.
However, consistent with the statute, the agencies are collecting information on a fully
consolidated basis about the volume of Section 4013 loans, including the number of
Section 4013 loans outstanding (Memorandum item 17.a) and the outstanding balance of
Section 4013 loans (Memorandum item 17.b). These two items are collected on a
confidential basis at the institution level.

The Monetary Control Act of 1980 and the resulting revision to Federal Reserve Regulation D, "Reserve
Requirements of Depository Institutions," established, for purposes of federal reserve requirements on
deposit liabilities, a category of deposits designated as "transaction accounts." The distinction between
transaction and nontransaction accounts is discussed in detail in the Glossary entry for "deposits.”

4. Accounts (other than savings deposits) from which payments may be made to third parties by
means of an automated teller machine (ATM), a remote service unit (RSU), or another electronic
device, including by debit card.
5. Accounts (other than savings deposits) that permit third party payments through use of checks,
drafts, negotiable instruments, or other similar instruments.

B. Deposits or accounts that are regarded as transaction accounts if the following specified conditions
exist:
1. Accounts that otherwise meet the definition of savings deposits but that authorize or permit the
depositor to exceed the transfer and withdrawal rules for a savings deposit.

D

2. Any deposit or account that otherwise meets the definition of a time deposit but that allows
withdrawals within the first six days after the date of deposit and that does not require an early
withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within those first
six days, unless the deposit or account meets the definition of a savings deposit. Any such
deposit or account that meets the definition of a savings deposit shall be reported as a savings
deposit, otherwise it shall be reported as a demand deposit, which is a transaction account.
3. The remaining balance of a time deposit from which a partial early withdrawal is made, unless the
remaining balance either (a) is subject to additional early withdrawal penalties of at least seven
days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within six days after each partial withdrawal (in which
case the deposit or account continues to be reported as a time deposit) or (b) is placed in an
account that meets the definition of a savings deposit (in which case the deposit or account shall
be reported as a savings deposit). Otherwise, the deposit or account shall be reported as a
demand deposit, which is a transaction account.

(II) Transaction-nontransaction deposit distinction – The Monetary Control Act of 1980 and the current
Federal Reserve Regulation D, "Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions," establish, for
purposes of federal reserve requirements on deposit liabilities, a category of deposits designated
as "transaction accounts." All deposits that are not transaction accounts are "nontransaction
accounts."

D

(1) Transaction accounts – With the exceptions noted below, a "transaction account," as defined
in Regulation D and in these instructions, is a deposit or account from which the depositor or
account holder is permitted to make transfers or withdrawals by negotiable or transferable
instruments, payment orders of withdrawal, telephone transfers, or other similar devices for
the purpose of making payments or transfers to third persons or others or from which the
depositor may make third party payments at an automated teller machine (ATM), a remote
service unit (RSU), or another electronic device, including by debit card.
Excluded from transaction accounts are savings deposits (both money market deposit
accounts (MMDAs) and other savings deposits) as defined below in the nontransaction
account category, even though such deposits permit some third-party transfers. However, an
account that otherwise meets the definition of a savings deposit but that authorizes or permits
the depositor to exceed the transfer limitations specified for that account shall be reported as
a transaction account. (Please refer to the definition of savings deposits for further detail.)

Deposits (cont.):
NOTE: Under the Federal Reserve's current Regulation D, no transaction account,
regardless of its other characteristics, is classified either as a savings deposit or as a time
deposit. Thus, those transaction accounts that are not demand deposits – NOW accounts,
ATS (Automatic Transfer Service) accounts, and telephone and preauthorized transfer
accounts – are excluded from Regulation D time and savings deposits. For all items in the
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income involving time or savings deposits, a strict
distinction, based on Regulation D definitions, is to be maintained between transaction
accounts and time and savings accounts.
Transaction accounts consist of the following types of deposits: (a) demand deposits;
(b) NOW accounts; (c) ATS accounts; and (d) telephone and preauthorized transfer
accounts, all as defined below. Interest that is paid by the crediting of transaction accounts is
also included in transaction accounts.

AF

(a) Demand deposits are deposits that are payable immediately on demand, or that are
issued with an original maturity or required notice period of less than seven days, or that
represent funds for which the depository institution does not reserve the right to require
at least seven days' written notice of an intended withdrawal. Demand deposits include
any matured time deposits without automatic renewal provisions, unless the deposit
agreement provides for the funds to be transferred at maturity to another type of
account. Effective July 21, 2011, demand deposits may be interest-bearing or
noninterest-bearing. Demand deposits do not include: (i) money market deposit
accounts (MMDAs) or (ii) NOW accounts, as defined below in this entry.
(b) NOW accounts are interest-bearing deposits (i) on which the depository institution has
reserved the right to require at least seven days' written notice prior to withdrawal or
transfer of any funds in the account and (ii) that can be withdrawn or transferred to third
parties by issuance of a negotiable or transferable instrument.
NOW accounts, as authorized by federal law, are limited to accounts held by:
Individuals or sole proprietorships;

(i)

Organizations that are operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable,
educational, or other similar purposes and that are not operated for profit. These
include organizations, partnerships, corporations, or associations that are not
organized for profit and are described in section 501(c)(3) through (13) and (19)

maintained in a NOW account or to the amount of interest that may be paid on a NOW
account.
(c) ATS accounts are deposits or accounts of individuals or sole proprietorships on which
the depository institution has reserved the right to require at least seven days' written
notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of any funds in the account and from which,
pursuant to written agreement arranged in advance between the reporting institution and
the depositor, withdrawals may be made automatically through payment to the
depository institution itself or through transfer of credit to a demand deposit or other
account in order to cover checks or drafts drawn upon the institution or to maintain a
specified balance in, or to make periodic transfers to, such other accounts.

Some institutions may have entered into agreements with their customers providing that
in the event the customer should overdraw a demand deposit (checking) or
NOW account, the institution will transfer from that customer's savings account an
amount sufficient to cover the overdraft. The availability of the overdraft protection plan
would not in and of itself require that such a savings account be regarded as a
transaction account provided that the overall transfer and withdrawal restrictions of a
savings deposit are not exceeded. Please refer to the definition of savings deposit for
further detail.

R

(d) Telephone or preauthorized transfer accounts consist of deposits or accounts, other
than savings deposits, (1) in which the entire beneficial interest is held by a party eligible
and
to hold a NOW account, (2) on which the reporting institution has reserved the right to
require at least seven days' written notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of any funds in
the account, and (3) under the terms of which, or by practice of the reporting institution,
the depositor is permitted or authorized to make more than six withdrawals per month or
statement cycle (or similar period) of at least four weeks for purposes of transferring
funds to another account of the depositor at the same institution (including a transaction
account) or for making payment to a third party by means of preauthorized transfer, or
telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order or instruction. An account
that permits or authorizes more than six such withdrawals in a "month" (a calendar
month or any period approximating a month that is at least four weeks long, such as a
statement cycle) is a transaction account whether or not more than six such withdrawals
actually are made in the "month."

A "preauthorized transfer" includes any arrangement by the reporting institution to pay a
third party from the account of a depositor (1) upon written or oral instruction (including
an order received through an automated clearing house (ACH)), or (2) at a
predetermined time or on a fixed schedule.
Telephone and preauthorized transfer accounts also include:

NOTE: Under the Federal Reserve's current Regulation D, no transaction accounts,
regardless of other characteristics, are defined as savings or time deposits. Thus, savings
deposits as defined here, under the heading nontransaction accounts, constitute the entire
savings deposit category. Likewise, time deposits, also defined here under nontransaction
accounts, constitute the entire time deposits category.

(a) Savings deposits are deposits with respect to which the depositor is not required by the
deposit contract but may at any time be required by the depository institution to give
written notice of an intended withdrawal not less than seven days before withdrawal is
made, and that is not payable on a specified date or at the expiration of a specified time
after the date of deposit.
The term savings deposit also means a deposit or account, such as an account
commonly known as a passbook savings account, a statement savings account, or a
money market deposit account (MMDA), that otherwise meets the requirements of the
preceding paragraph. and from which, under the terms of the deposit contract or by

more than six transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and

(b) Time deposits are deposits that the depositor does not have a right, and is not
permitted, to make withdrawals from within six days after the date of deposit unless the
deposit is subject to an early withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest
on amounts withdrawn within the first six days after deposit. A time deposit from which
partial early withdrawals are permitted must impose additional early withdrawal penalties
of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within six days after each
partial withdrawal. If such additional early withdrawal penalties are not imposed, the
account ceases to be a time deposit. The account may become a savings deposit if it

excess of the regulatory minimums.
Time deposits take two forms:

Time certificates of deposit (including rollover certificates of deposit) are deposits
evidenced by a negotiable or nonnegotiable instrument, or a deposit in book entry
form evidenced by a receipt or similar acknowledgement issued by the bank, that
provides, on its face, that the amount of such deposit is payable to the bearer, to
any specified person, or to the order of a specified person, as follows:

R

(i)

(1) on a certain date not less than seven days after the date of deposit,

D

(2) at the expiration of a specified period not less than seven days after the date
of the deposit, or
(3) upon written notice to the bank which is to be given not less than seven days
before the date of withdrawal.

(ii)

Time deposits, open account are deposits (other than time certificates of deposit)
for which there is in force a written contract with the depositor that neither the whole
nor any part of such deposit may be withdrawn prior to:
(1) the date of maturity which shall be not less than seven days after the date of
the deposit, or
(2) the expiration of a specified period of written notice of not less than seven

Deposits (cont.):
(b) Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts consist of deposit accounts on which the issuing
depository institution makes no payment to or for the account of any depositor as
compensation for the use of funds constituting a deposit. An institution’s absorption of
expenses incident to providing a normal banking function or its forbearance from charging a
fee in connection with such a service is not considered a payment of interest.
Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts include (i) matured time deposits that are not
automatically renewable (unless the deposit agreement provides for the funds to be
transferred at maturity to another type of account) and (ii) deposits with a zero percent stated
interest rate that are issued at face value.
See also "brokered deposits" and "hypothecated deposits."

Derivative Contracts: Banks commonly use derivative instruments for managing (positioning or
hedging) their exposure to market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), cash flow
risk, and other risks in their operations and for trading. The accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities are set forth in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly FASB Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended), which banks
must follow for purposes of these reports. ASC Topic 815 requires all derivatives to be recognized on
the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at their fair value. A summary of the principal provisions
of ASC Topic 815 follows. For further information, see ASC Topic 815, which includes the
implementation guidance issued by the FASB's Derivatives Implementation Group.

An "extension of credit" is a making or renewal of any loan, a granting of a line of credit, or an
extending of credit in any manner whatsoever. Extensions of credit include, among others,
loans, overdrafts, cash items, standby letters of credit, and securities purchased under
agreements to resell. For lines of credit, the amount to be reported as an extension of credit
is normally the total amount of the line of credit extended to the insider, not just the current
balance of the funds that have been advanced to the insider under the line of credit. An
extension of credit also includes having a credit exposure arising from a derivative
transaction, repurchase agreement, reverse repurchase agreement, securities lending
transaction, or securities borrowing transaction. See Section 215.3 of Regulation O and
12 U.S.C. 375b(9)(D)(i) for further details.
Loans that are guaranteed under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) are excepted from the requirements of section 22(h) of the
Federal Reserve Act and the corresponding provisions of Regulation O if they are not
prohibited by SBA lending restrictions. Accordingly, such PPP loans should not be reported
in Schedule RC-M, items 1.a and 1.b, below. See Section 215.3(b)(8) of Regulation O for
further details.

R

An "executive officer" of the reporting bank generally means a person who participates or has
authority to participate (other than in the capacity of a director) in major policymaking
functions of the reporting bank, an executive officer of a bank holding company of which the
bank is a subsidiary, and (unless properly excluded by the bank's board of directors or
bylaws) an executive officer of any other subsidiary of that bank holding company. See
Section 215.2(e) of Regulation O for further details.

D

A "director" of the reporting bank generally means a person who is a director of a bank,
whether or not receiving compensation, a director of a bank holding company of which the
bank is a subsidiary, and (unless properly excluded by the bank's board of directors or
bylaws) a director of any other subsidiary of that bank holding company. See
Section 215.2(d) of Regulation O for further details.
A "principal shareholder" of the reporting bank generally means an individual or a company
(other than an insured bank or foreign bank) that directly or indirectly owns, controls, or has
the power to vote more than ten percent of any class of voting securities of the reporting
bank. See Section 215.2(m) of Regulation O for further details.
A "related interest" means (1) a company (other than an insured bank or a foreign bank) that
is controlled by an executive officer, director, or principal shareholder or (2) a political or
campaign committee that is controlled by or the funds or services of which will benefit an
executive officer, director, or principal shareholder. See Section 215.2(n) of Regulation O.

GLOSSARY

Acquisition, Development, or Construction (ADC) Arrangements: An ADC arrangement is an
arrangement in which a bank provides financing for real estate acquisition, development, or
construction purposes and participates in the expected residual profit resulting from the ultimate sale or
other use of the property. ADC arrangements should be reported as loans, real estate joint ventures,
or direct investments in real estate in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-10, Receivables - Overall.
12 USC 29 limits the authority of national banks to hold real estate. National banks should review real
estate ADC arrangements carefully for compliance. State member banks are not authorized to invest
in real estate except with the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under Federal Reserve
Regulation H (12 CFR Part 208). In certain states, nonmember banks may invest in real estate.

AF
T

Under the agencies' regulatory capital rules, the term high volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE)
exposure is defined, in part, to mean a credit facility that, prior to conversion to permanent financing,
finances or has financed the acquisition, development, or construction of real property. (See §.2 of
the regulatory capital rules and the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 4.b.) Institutions
should note that the meaning of the term ADC as used in the definition of HVCRE exposure in the
regulatory capital rules differs from the meaning of ADC arrangement for accounting purposes in
ASC Subtopic 310-10 as described above in this Glossary entry. For example, an institution's
participation in the expected residual profit from a property is part of the accounting definition of an
ADC arrangement, but whether the institution participates in the expected residual profit is not a
consideration for purposes of determining whether a credit facility is an HVCRE exposure for regulatory
capital purposes. Thus, a loan can be treated as an HVCRE exposure for regulatory capital purposes
even though it does not provide for the institution to participate in the property's expected residual
profit.

Allowance for Credit Losses: This entry applies to institutions that have adopted ASC Topic 326
(introduced by Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13)). Institutions that
have not adopted ASC Topic 326 should continue to refer to the Glossary entry for "allowance for loan
and lease losses." For more information on the allowance for credit losses (ACL), institutions should
also refer to the lnteragency Policy Statement on Allowances for Credit Losses issued in May 2020.

D

Standards for accounting for an ACL for financial assets measured at amortized cost and net
investments in leases (hereafter referred to collectively as financial assets measured at amortized
cost), as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, are set forth in ASC Subtopic 326-20,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost. For financial assets measured at
amortized cost, the ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from, or added to, the amortized cost
basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected over the contractual term
of the financial assets.
For institutions that have adopted ASC Topic 326, standards for measuring credit losses on available­
for-sale (AFS) debt securities are set forth in ASC Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit
Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. See the Glossary entry for "securities activities" for
guidance on allowances for credit losses on AFS debt securities.

The following sections of this Glossary entry apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost and
also to off-balance sheet credit exposures within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20.
Measurement-An ACL shall be established upon the origination or acquisition of a financial asset(s)
measured at amortized cost. A separate ACL shall be reported for each type of financial asset
measured at amortized cost (e.g., loans and leases held for investment, held-to-maturity (HTM) debt
securities, and receivables that relate to repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements) as
of the end of each reporting period.

Allowance for Credit Losses (cont.):
As of the end of each quarter, or more frequently if warranted, each institution must evaluate the
collectability of its financial assets measured at amortized cost, including, if applicable, any recorded
accrued interest receivable (i.e., not already reversed or charged off, as applicable), and make
adjusting entries to maintain the balance of each of the separate ACLs reported on the balance sheet
at an appropriate level.
An institution shall measure expected credit losses on a collective or pool basis when financial assets
share similar risk characteristics. If a financial asset does not share similar risk characteristics with
other assets, expected credit losses for that asset should be evaluated individually. Individually
evaluated assets should not be included in a collective assessment of expected credit losses. If a
financial asset ceases to share similar risk characteristics with other assets in its pool, it should be
moved to a different pool with assets sharing similar risk characteristics, if such a pool exists.

AF
T

ASC Subtopic 326-20 does not require the use of a specific loss estimation method for purposes of
determining ACLs. Various methods may be used to estimate the expected collectibility of financial
assets measured at amortized cost, with those methods generally applied consistently over time. The
same loss estimation method does not need to be applied to all financial assets. An institution is not
precluded from selecting a different method when it determines the method will result in a better
estimate of ACLs.
ASC Subtopic 326-20 requires an institution to measure estimated expected credit losses over the
contractual term of its financial assets, considering expected prepayments. Renewals, extensions, and
modifications are excluded from the contractual term of a financial asset for purposes of estimating the
ACL unless there is a reasonable expectation of executing a troubled debt restructuring or the renewal
and extension options are part of the original or modified contract and are not unconditionally
cancellable by the institution. If such renewal or extension options are present, an institution must
evaluate the likelihood of a borrower exercising those options when determining the contractual term.

R

In estimating the net amount expected to be collected on financial assets measured at amortized cost,
an institution should consider the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and
supportable forecasts on the collectibility of the institution's financial assets. Under ASC Subtopic
326-20, an institution is required to use relevant forward-looking information and expectations drawn
from reasonable and supportable forecasts when estimating expected credit losses.

D

Expected recoveries, prior to collection, are a component of management's estimate of the net amount
expected to be collected for a financial asset. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off
or expected to be charged off that are included in ACLs may not exceed the aggregate amounts
previously charged off or expected to be charged off. All assumptions related to expected recoveries
should be appropriately documented and supported. When estimating expected recoveries, management
may conclude that amounts previously charged off are not collectible.

Changes in the ACL - Additions to, or reductions of, the ACL to adjust its level to management's current
estimate of expected credit losses are to be made through charges or credits to the "provision for credit
losses on financial assets" (provision) in item 4 of Schedule RI, Income Statement, except for changes
to adjust the level of the ACL for off-balance-sheet credit exposures. When available information
confirms that specific financial assets measured at amortized cost, or portions thereof, are uncollectible,
these amounts should be promptly charged off against the related ACL in the period in which the
financial assets are deemed uncollectible. Under no circumstances can expected credit losses on
financial assets measured at amortized cost be charged directly to "Retained earnings" after the initial
adoption of ASC Topic 326, for which the change from the incurred loss to the current expected credit
losses methodology is required to be recorded through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings. This cumulative-effect adjustment is reported in Schedule RI-A, item 2,
"Cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and corrections of material accounting errors,"
and disclosed in Schedule RI-E, item 4.a, "Effect of adoption of current expected credit losses
methodology - ASU 2016-13."

International remittance transfers offered to consumers. Report in Schedule RC-M,
item 16.a and, if appropriate, items 16.b.(1) through 16.b.(3), information about
international electronic transfers of funds offered to consumers in the United States that:
(1) Are “remittance transfers” as defined by Subpart B of Regulation E (12 CFR
§ 1005.30(e)), or
(2) Would qualify as “remittance transfers” under Subpart B of Regulation E (12 CFR
§ 1005.30(e)), but are excluded from that definition only because the provider is not

1005.30(f).

AF
T

For purposes of items 16.a and 16.b.(1) through 16.b.(3), such transfers are referred to as
international remittance transfers.
Under Subpart B of Regulation E, which took effect on October 28, 2013, and was most
recently amended effective July 21, 2020, a ‘‘remittance transfer’’ is an electronic transfer of
funds requested by a sender to a designated recipient that is sent by a remittance transfer
provider. The term applies regardless of whether the sender holds an account with the
remittance transfer provider, and regardless of whether the transaction is also an “electronic
fund transfer,” as defined in Regulation E. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(e).
A “sender” is a consumer in a State who primarily for personal, family, or household purposes
requests a remittance transfer provider to send a remittance transfer to a designated
recipient. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(g).
A “designated recipient” is any person specified by the sender as the authorized recipient of a
remittance transfer to be received at a location in a foreign country. See 12 CFR §
1005.30(c).

R

A “remittance transfer provider” is any person that provides remittance transfers for a
consumer in the normal course of its business, regardless of whether the consumer holds an
account with such person. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(f).

D

Examples of “remittance transfers” include the following (see Regulation E, Subpart B,
comment 30(e)-3.i):
(1) Transfers where the sender provides cash or another method of payment to a money
transmitter or financial institution and requests that funds be sent to a specified location
or account in a foreign country.
(2) Consumer wire transfers, where a financial institution executes a payment order upon a
sender’s request to wire money from the sender’s account to a designated recipient.
(3) An addition of funds to a prepaid card by a participant in a prepaid card program, such as
a prepaid card issuer or its agent, that is directly engaged with the sender to add these
funds, where the prepaid card is sent or was previously sent by a participant in the
prepaid card program to a person in a foreign country, even if a person located in a State
(including a sender) retains the ability to withdraw such funds.
(4) International automated clearing house (ACH) transactions sent by the sender’s financial
institution at the sender’s request.
(5) Online bill payments and other electronic transfers that a sender schedules in advance,
including preauthorized remittance transfers, made by the sender’s financial institution at
the sender’s request to a designated recipient.

RC-N - PAST DUE

Definitions
Past Due – The past due status of a loan or other asset should be determined in accordance with its
contractual repayment terms. For purposes of this schedule, grace periods allowed by the bank after a
loan or other asset technically has become past due but before the imposition of late charges are not to
be taken into account in determining past due status. Furthermore, loans, leases, debt securities, and
other assets are to be reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following
circumstances:

AF
T

(1) Closed-end installment loans, amortizing loans secured by real estate, and any other loans and lease
financing receivables with payments scheduled monthly are to be reported as past due when the
borrower is in arrears two or more monthly payments. (At a bank's option, loans and leases with
payments scheduled monthly may be reported as past due when one scheduled payment is due and
unpaid for 30 days or more.) Other multipayment obligations with payments scheduled other than
monthly are to be reported as past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days
or more.
(2) Open-end credit such as credit cards, check credit, and other revolving credit plans are to be reported
as past due when the customer has not made the minimum payment for two or more billing cycles.
(3) Single payment and demand notes, debt securities, and other assets providing for the payment of
interest at stated intervals are to be reported as past due after one interest payment is due and
unpaid for 30 days or more.
(4) Single payment notes, debt securities, and other assets providing for the payment of interest at
maturity are to be reported as past due after maturity if interest or principal remains unpaid for
30 days or more.
(5) Unplanned overdrafts are to be reported as past due if the account remains continuously overdrawn
for 30 days or more.

D

R

For purposes of this schedule, banks should use one of two methods to recognize partial payments on
“retail credit,” i.e., open-end and closed-end credit extended to individuals for household, family, and
other personal expenditures, including consumer loans and credit cards, and loans to individuals secured
by their personal residence, including home equity and home improvement loans. A payment equivalent
to 90 percent or more of the contractual payment may be considered a full payment in computing
delinquency. Alternatively, a bank may aggregate payments and give credit for any partial payment
received. For example, if a regular monthly installment is $300 and the borrower makes payments of only
$150 per month for a six-month period, the loan would be $900 ($150 shortage times six payments), or
three monthly payments past due. A bank may use either or both methods for its retail credit, but may not
use both methods simultaneously with a single loan.
For institutions that have not adopted ASU 2016-13, when accrual of income on a purchased creditimpaired (PCI) loan accounted for individually or a purchased credit-impairedPCI debt security is
appropriate, the delinquency status of the individual asset should be determined in accordance with its
contractual repayment terms for purposes of reporting the amount of the loan or debt security as past due
in the appropriate items of Schedule RC-N, column A or B. When accrual of income on a pool of
purchased credit-impairedPCI loans with common risk characteristics is appropriate, delinquency status
should be determined individually for each loan in the pool in accordance with the individual loan’s
contractual repayment terms for purposes of reporting the amount of individual loans within the pool as
past due in the appropriate items of Schedule RC-N, column A or B. For further information, see the
Glossary entry for “purchased credit-impaired loans and debt securities.”
For institutions that have adopted ASU 2016-13, any purchased credit-impairedPCI loans and debt
securities held as of the adoption date of the standard should prospectively be accounted for as
purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets. As of the adoption date of the standard, the remaining
noncredit discount or premium on a purchased credit-deterioratedPCD asset, after the adjustment for the

losses, should be accreted to interest income at the new effective interest rate on the asset, if the
asset is not required to be placed on nonaccrual. For purchased credit-deteriorated loans, debt
securities, and other financial assets that fall within the scope of ASU 2016-13, nonaccrual status
should be determined and subsequent nonaccrual treatment, if appropriate, should be applied in the
same manner as for other financial assets held by an institution. For a PCD loan, debt security, or
other financial asset within the scope of ASU 2016-13 that is not reported in nonaccrual status, the
delinquency status of the PCD asset should be determined in accordance with its contractual
repayment terms for purposes of reporting the amortized cost basis of the asset (fair value for a PCD
available-for-sale debt security) as past due in Schedule RC-N, column A or B, as appropriate. If the
PCD asset that is not reported in nonaccrual status consists of a pool of loans that was previously PCI,
but is being maintained as a unit of account after the adoption of ASU 2016-13, delinquency status
should be determined individually for each loan in the pool in accordance with the individual loan’s
contractual repayment terms. For further information, see the Glossary entry for “purchased creditdeteriorated assets.”
Nonaccrual – For purposes of this schedule, an asset is to be reported as being in nonaccrual status if:
(1) It is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower,
(2) Payment in full of principal or interest is not expected, or

(3) Principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the asset is both well
secured and in the process of collection.

R

An asset is "well secured" if it is secured (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or
personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt
(including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. An asset is
"in the process of collection" if collection of the asset is proceeding in due course either (1) through legal
action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, (2) in appropriate circumstances, through
collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the
debt or in its restoration to a current status in the near future.

D

For purposes of applying the third test for nonaccrual status listed above, the date on which an asset
reaches nonaccrual status is determined by its contractual terms. If the principal or interest on an asset
becomes due and unpaid for 90 days or more on a date that falls between report dates, the asset should
be placed in nonaccrual status as of the date it becomes 90 days past due and it should remain in
nonaccrual status until it meets the criteria for restoration to accrual status described below.
In the following situations, an asset need not be placed in nonaccrual status:
(1) The criteria for accrual of income under the interest method specified in ASC Subtopic 310-30,
Receivables – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (formerly AICPA
Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer"),
are met for a purchased credit-impaired loan, pool of loans, or debt security accounted for in
accordance with that Subtopic, regardless of whether the loan, the loans in the pool, or debt security
had been maintained in nonaccrual status by its seller. (For purchased credit-impaired loans with
common risk characteristics that are aggregated and accounted for as a pool, the determination of
nonaccrual or accrual status should be made at the pool level, not at the individual loan level.) For
further information, see the Glossary entry for "purchased credit-impaired loans and debt securities."
(21)The asset upon which principal or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days or more is a consumer loan
(as defined for Schedule RC-C, Part I, item 6, "Loans to individuals for household, family, and other
personal expenditures") or a loan secured by a 1-to-4 family residential property (as defined for
Schedule RC-C, Part I, item 1.c, Loans "Secured by 1-4 family residential properties"). Nevertheless,

such loans should be subject to other alternative methods of evaluation to assure that the bank's net
income is not materially overstated. To the extent that the bank has elected to carry such a loan in
nonaccrual status on its books, the loan must be reported as nonaccrual in this schedule.
(2) For an institution that has not adopted ASU 2016-13, the criteria for accrual of income under the interest
method specified in ASC Subtopic 310-30, Receivables – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with
Deteriorated Credit Quality, are met for a PCI loan, pool of loans, or debt security accounted for in
accordance with that Subtopic, regardless of whether the loan, the loans in the pool, or debt security
had been maintained in nonaccrual status by its seller. (For PCI loans with common risk
characteristics that are aggregated and accounted for as a pool, the determination of nonaccrual or
accrual status should be made at the pool level, not at the individual loan level.) For further
information, see the Glossary entry for "purchased credit-impaired loans and debt securities."

AF
T

(3) For an institution that has adopted ASU 2016-13, the following criteria are met for a PCD asset, including a
PCD asset that was previously a PCI asset or part of a pool of PCI assets, that would otherwise be
required to be placed in nonaccrual status (see the Glossary entry for “nonaccrual status”):
(a) The institution reasonably estimates the timing and amounts of cash flows expected to be collected, and
(b) The institution did not acquire the asset primarily for the rewards of ownership of the underlying
collateral, such as use of collateral in operations of the institution or improving the collateral for resale.

R

When a PCD asset that meets the criteria above is not placed in nonaccrual status, the asset should be
subject to other alternative methods of evaluation to ensure that the institution’s net income is not
materially overstated. Further, regardless of whether a PCD asset is in nonaccrual or accrual
status, an institution is not permitted to accrete the credit-related discount embedded in the
purchase price of such an asset that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of expected credit
losses as of the date of acquisition (i.e., the contractual cash flows the acquirer did not expect to
collect at acquisition). Interest income should no longer be recognized on a PCD asset to the
extent that the net investment in the asset would increase to an amount greater than the payoff
amount. If an institution is required or has elected to carry a PCD asset in nonaccrual status, the
asset must be reported as a nonaccrual asset at its amortized cost basis (fair value for a PCD
available-for-sale debt security) in Schedule RC-N, column C. (For PCD assets for which the
institution has made a policy election to maintain previously existing pools of PCI loans upon
adoption of ASU 2016-13, the determination of nonaccrual or accrual status should be made at the
pool level, not the individual asset level.) For further information, see the Glossary entry for
“purchased credit-deteriorated assets.”
As a general rule, a nonaccrual asset may be restored to accrual status when:
(1) None of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the bank expects repayment of the remaining
contractual principal and interest; or

D

(2) When it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection.
Definitions (cont.)

For purposes of meeting the first test for restoration to accrual status, the bank must have received
repayment of the past due principal and interest unless, as discussed in the Glossary entry for
"nonaccrual status":
(1) The asset has been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring and qualifies for accrual status;
(2) The asset is a purchased credit-impaired loan, pool of loans, or debt security accounted for in
accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30 and it meets the criteria for accrual of income under the
interest method specified in that Subtopic; or
(3) The borrower has resumed paying the full amount of the scheduled contractual interest and principal
payments on a loan that is past due and in nonaccrual status, even though the loan has not been
brought fully current, and certain repayment criteria are met.

Restructured in Troubled Debt Restructurings – A troubled debt restructuring is a restructuring of a loan in
which a bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a
concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. For purposes of this schedule, the
concession consists of a modification of terms, such as a reduction of the loan’s stated interest rate,
principal, or accrued interest or an extension of the loan’s maturity date at a stated interest rate lower
than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, regardless of whether the loan is secured or
unsecured and regardless of whether the loan is guaranteed by the government or by others.

AF
T

Once an obligation has been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring, it continues to be considered a
troubled debt restructuring until paid in full or otherwise settled, sold, or charged off (or meets the
conditions discussed under “Accounting for a Subsequent Restructuring of a Troubled Debt
Restructuring” in the Glossary entry for “troubled debt restructurings). However, if a restructured
obligation is in compliance with its modified terms and the restructuring agreement specifies an interest
rate that at the time of the restructuring is greater than or equal to the rate that the bank was willing to
accept for a new extension of credit with comparable risk, the loan need not continue to be reported as a
troubled debt restructuring in calendar years after the year in which the restructuring took place. A loan
extended or renewed at a stated interest rate equal to the current interest rate for new debt with similar
risk is not considered a troubled debt restructuring. Also, a loan to a third party purchaser of "other real
estate owned" by the reporting bank for the purpose of facilitating the disposal of such real estate is not
considered a troubled debt restructuring.

previously accrued but uncollected interest, the treatment of cash payments received on nonaccrual
assets and the criteria for cash basis income recognition, the restoration of a nonaccrual asset to

General rule – Banks shall not accrue interest, amortize deferred net loan fees or costs, or accrete
discount on any asset (1) which is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial

Any state statute, regulation, or rule that imposes more stringent standards for nonaccrual of interest
takes precedence over this instruction.
Exceptions to the general rule – In the following situations, an asset need not be placed in nonaccrual
status:

(1) The criteria for accrual of income under the interest method specified in ASC Subtopic 310-30,
Receivables – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (formerly
AICPA Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a
Transfer”), are met for a purchased credit-impaired loan, pool of loans, or debt security accounted
for in accordance with that Subtopic, regardless of whether the loan, the loans in the pool, or debt
security had been maintained in nonaccrual status by its seller. (For purchased credit-impaired
loans with common risk characteristics that are aggregated and accounted for as a pool, the
determination of nonaccrual or accrual status should be made at the pool level, not at the individual
loan level.) For further information, see the Glossary entry for "purchased credit-impaired loans
and debt securities." For institutions that have adopted ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments–
Credit Losses, as discussed in the “Definitions” section of the instructions for Schedule RC-N, this
exception is no longer available.
(21)The asset upon which principal or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days or more is a consumer
loan (as defined for Schedule RC-C, part I, item 6, "Loans to individuals for household, family, and
other personal expenditures") or a loan secured by a 1-to-4 family residential property (as defined
for Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.c, Loans "Secured by 1-4 family residential properties").
Nevertheless, such loans should be subject to other alternative methods of evaluation to assure
that the bank's net income is not materially overstated. However, to the extent that the bank has
elected to carry such a loan in nonaccrual status on its books, the loan must be reported as
nonaccrual in Schedule RC-N, column C.

Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, are met for a purchased credit-impaired (PCI)
loan, pool of loans, or debt security accounted for in accordance with that Subtopic, regardless of
whether the loan, the loans in the pool, or debt security had been maintained in nonaccrual status
by its seller. (For PCI loans with common risk characteristics that are aggregated and accounted

not at the individual loan level.) For further information, see the Glossary entry for "purchased

(3) For an institution that has adopted ASU 2016-13, the following criteria are met for a purchased
credit-deteriorated (PCD) asset, including a PCD asset that was previously a PCI asset or part of a
pool of PCI loans, that would otherwise be required to be placed in nonaccrual status under the
general rule:
(a) The institution reasonably estimates the timing and amounts of cash flows expected to be
collected, and
(b) The institution did not acquire the asset primarily for the rewards of ownership of the underlying
collateral, such as use of collateral in operations of the institution or improving the collateral for
resale.
When a PCD asset that meets the criteria above is not placed in nonaccrual status, the asset
should be subject to other alternative methods of evaluation to ensure that the institution’s net
income is not materially overstated. If an institution is required or has elected to carry a PCD asset
in nonaccrual status, the asset must be reported as a nonaccrual asset at its amortized cost basis
in Schedule RC-N, column C. (For PCD loans for which the institution has made a policy election
to maintain previously existing pools of PCI loans upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the
determination of nonaccrual or accrual status should be made at the pool level, not the individual
asset level.) For further information, see the Glossary entry for “purchased credit-deteriorated
assets.”

Treatment of previously accrued interest – The reversal of previously accrued but uncollected interest
applicable to any asset placed in nonaccrual status should be handled in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Acceptable accounting treatment includes a reversal of all previously
accrued but uncollected interest applicable to assets placed in a nonaccrual status against appropriate
income and balance sheet accounts.

D

For example, for institutions that have not adopted ASC Topic 326, one acceptable method of
accounting for such uncollected interest on a loan placed in nonaccrual status is (1) to reverse all of the
unpaid interest by crediting the "accrued interest receivable" account on the balance sheet, (2) to
reverse the uncollected interest that has been accrued during the calendar year-to-date by debiting the
appropriate "interest and fee income on loans" account on the income statement, and (3) to reverse
any uncollected interest that had been accrued during previous calendar years by debiting the
"allowance for loan and lease losses" account on the balance sheet. The use of this method presumes
that bank management's additions to the allowance through charges to the "provision for loan and
lease losses" on the income statement have been based on an evaluation of the collectability of the
loan and lease portfolios and the "accrued interest receivable" account.
Institutions that have adopted ASC Topic 326 should refer to the Glossary entry for “accrued interest
receivable” for information on the treatment of previously accrued interest.
Treatment of cash payments and criteria for the cash basis recognition of income – When doubt exists
as to the collectibility of the remaining recorded investment in a nonaccrual asset (or the amortized cost
basis of a nonaccrual asset, if the institution has adopted ASC Topic 326), any payments received
must be applied to reduce the recorded investment in, or the amortized cost basis of, the asset, as
applicable, to the extent necessary to eliminate such doubt. Placing an asset in nonaccrual status
does not, in and of itself, require a charge-off, in whole or in part, of the asset's recorded investment or
amortized cost basis, as applicable. However, any identified losses must be charged off.
While an asset is in nonaccrual status, some or all of the cash interest payments received may be
treated as interest income on a cash basis as long as the remaining recorded investment in, or the

Nonaccrual Status (cont.):
amortized cost basis of, the asset, as applicable, (i.e., after charge-off of identified losses, if any) is
deemed to be fully collectible.3 A bank's determination as to the ultimate collectibility of the asset's
remaining recorded investment, or amortized cost basis, as applicable, must be supported by a current,
well documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment,
including consideration of the borrower's historical repayment performance and other relevant factors.

AF
T

When recognition of interest income on a cash basis is appropriate, it should be handled in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. One acceptable accounting practice involves allocating
contractual interest payments among interest income, reduction of the recorded investment in, or the
amortized cost basis of, the asset, as applicable, and recovery of prior charge-offs. If this method is
used, the amount of income that is recognized would be equal to that which would have been accrued
on the asset's remaining recorded investment at the contractual rate. A bank may also choose to
account for the contractual interest in its entirety either as income, reduction of the recorded investment
in, or the amortized cost basis of, the asset, as applicable, or recovery of prior charge-offs, depending
on the condition of the asset, consistent with its accounting policies for other financial reporting
purposes.
Restoration to accrual status – As a general rule, a nonaccrual asset may be restored to accrual status
when (1) none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the bank expects repayment of the
remaining contractual principal and interest, or (2) when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the
process of collection. If any interest payments received while the asset was in nonaccrual status were
applied to reduce the recorded investment in, or the amortized cost basis of, the asset, as applicable,
as discussed in the preceding section of this entry, the application of these payments to the asset's
recorded investment or amortized cost basis, as applicable, should not be reversed (and interest
income should not be credited) when the asset is returned to accrual status.
For purposes of meeting the first test, the bank must have received repayment of the past due principal
and interest unless:, as discussed below,

of repayment within a reasonable period and, second, that there is a sustained period of
repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower in accordance with
the contractual terms involving payments of cash or cash equivalents. A loan that meets these two
criteria may be restored to accrual status, but must continue to be disclosed as past due in
Schedule RC-N until it has been brought fully current or until it later must be placed in nonaccrual

Nonaccrual Status (cont.):
restructured asset must remain in nonaccrual status. The evaluation must include consideration of the
borrower's sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period prior to the date on
which the loan or other debt instrument is returned to accrual status. A sustained period of repayment
performance generally would be a minimum of six months and would involve payments of cash or cash
equivalents. (In returning the asset to accrual status, sustained historical repayment performance for a
reasonable time prior to the restructuring may be taken into account.) Such a restructuring must
improve the collectability of the loan or other debt instrument in accordance with a reasonable
repayment schedule and does not relieve the bank from the responsibility to promptly charge off all
identified losses.

AF
T

A troubled debt restructuring may involve a multiple note structure in which, for example, a troubled
loan is restructured into two notes. The first or "A" note represents the portion of the original loan
principal amount that is expected to be fully collected along with contractual interest. The second or
"B" note represents the portion of the original loan that has been charged off and, because it is not
reflected as an asset and is unlikely to be collected, could be viewed as a contingent receivable. For a
troubled debt restructuring of a collateral-dependent loan involving a multiple note structure, the
amount of the “A” note should be determined using the fair value of the collateral. The "A" note may
be returned to accrual status provided the conditions in the preceding paragraph are met and:
(1) there is economic substance to the restructuring and it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring
under generally accepted accounting principles, (2) the portion of the original loan represented by the
"B" note has been charged off before or at the time of the restructuring, and (3) the "A" note is
reasonably assured of repayment and of performance in accordance with the modified terms.
Until the restructured asset is restored to accrual status, if ever, cash payments received must be
treated in accordance with the criteria stated above in the preceding section of this entry. In addition,
after a formal restructuring, if a restructured asset that has been returned to accrual status later meets
the criteria for placement in nonaccrual status as a result of past due status based on its modified
terms or for any other reasons, the asset must be placed in nonaccrual status.
For further information on formally restructured assets, see the Glossary entry for "troubled debt
restructurings."

D

R

Treatment of multiple extensions of credit to one borrower – As a general principle, nonaccrual status
for an asset should be determined based on an assessment of the individual asset's collectability and
payment ability and performance. Thus, when one loan to a borrower is placed in nonaccrual status, a
bank does not automatically have to place all other extensions of credit to that borrower in nonaccrual
status. When a bank has multiple loans or other extensions of credit outstanding to a single borrower,
and one loan meets the criteria for nonaccrual status, the bank should evaluate its other extensions of
credit to that borrower to determine whether one or more of these other assets should also be placed in
nonaccrual status.

Purchased Credit-Deteriorated Assets: This Glossary entry applies to institutions that have adopted
ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses. Institutions that have not adopted ASC
Topic 326 should continue to refer to the Glossary entry for “purchased credit-impaired loans and
debt securities.”
Purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets are acquired financial assets that, at acquisition, have
experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by
an acquirer’s assessment.
In accordance with ASC Topic 326, institutions are required to estimate and record an allowance for
credit losses (ACL) for PCD assets at the time of purchase. This acquisition date ACL is added to the
purchase price of the financial assets rather than recording these losses through provisions for credit
losses. This establishes the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD assets. An institution may use
either a discounted or an undiscounted cash flow method at acquisition to determine this ACL.
Subsequent ACL measurements for acquired financial assets with more-than-insignificant credit
deterioration since origination are to be measured under ASC Topic 326 as with (1) originated financial
assets and (2) purchased financial assets that do not have a more-than-insignificant deterioration in
credit quality at acquisition.

D

R

Institutions that measure expected credit losses for PCD assets on a pool basis shall continue to
evaluate whether financial assets in the pool continue to share similar risk characteristics with the other
financial assets in the pool. If there have been changes in credit risk, borrower circumstances,
recognition of a charge-off, or cash collections of interest applied to principal while the asset is in
nonaccrual status, an institution may determine that either the financial asset has similar risk
characteristics with another pool or the credit loss measurement should be performed on an individual
financial asset basis because the financial asset does not share risk characteristics with other financial
assets. Institutions that measure the ACL on a collective basis shall allocate the ACL and any
noncredit discount or premium to the individual PCD assets unless the institution elected the transition
option to account for existing purchased credit-impaired (PCI) financial assetloan pools as PCD pools
upon adoption of ASC Topic 326.
Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of the PCD asset and the amortized cost basis of
the asset as of the acquisition date is the noncredit discount or premium. Provided the asset remains
oin accrual status, the noncredit discount or premium recorded at acquisition is accreted into interest
income over the remaining life of the PCD asset on a level-yield basis. In contrast, regardless of
whether a PCD asset is in nonaccrual or accrual status, an institution is not permitted to accrete the
credit-related discount embedded in the purchase price of the asset that is attributable to the acquirer’s
assessment of expected credit losses as of the date of acquisition (i.e., the contractual cash flows the
acquirer did not expect to collect at acquisition). In addition, interest income should no longer be
recognized on a PCD asset to the extent that the net investment in the asset would increase to an
amount greater than the payoff amount.
ASC Subtopic 310-10, Receivables – Overall, does not prohibit an institution from placing a PCD asset
in nonaccrual status. Because a PCD asset is an acquired financial asset that, at acquisition, has

GLOSSARY

experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by
an acquiring institution’s assessment, the acquiring institution must determine upon acquisition whether
it is appropriate to place the PCD asset in accrual status, including accreting the noncredit discount or
premium.
For purposes of these reports, if an institution has a PCD asset, including a PCD asset that was
previously a PCI asset or part of a pool of PCI loans, that would otherwise be required to be placed in
nonaccrual status (see the Glossary entry for “nonaccrual status”), the institution may elect to accrue
interest income on the PCD asset and not report the PCD asset as being in nonaccrual status if the
following criteria are met:
(a) The institution reasonably estimates the timing and amounts of cash flows expected to be
collected, and
(b) The institution did not acquire the asset primarily for the rewards of ownership of the underlying
collateral, such as use of collateral in operations of the institution or improving the collateral for
resale.

AF
T

When a PCD asset that meets the criteria above is not placed in nonaccrual status, the asset should
be subject to other alternative methods of evaluation to ensure that the institution’s net income is not
materially overstated. If an institution is required or has elected to carry a PCD asset in nonaccrual
status, the asset must be reported as a nonaccrual asset at its amortized cost basis (fair value for a
PCD available-for-sale debt security) in Schedule RC-N, column C.
For PCD assets for which the institution has made a policy election to maintain previously existing
pools of PCI loans upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the determination of nonaccrual or accrual status
should be made at the pool level, not the individual asset level.

R

For a PCD asset that is not reported in nonaccrual status, the delinquency status of the PCD asset
should be determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms for purposes of reporting the
amortized cost basis of the asset (fair value for a PCD available-for-sale debt security) as past due in
Schedule RC-N, column A or B, as appropriate. If the PCD asset that is not reported in nonaccrual
status consists of a pool of loans that was previously PCI, but is being maintained as a unit of account
after the adoption of ASU 2016-13, delinquency status should be determined individually for each loan
in the pool in accordance with the individual loan’s contractual repayment terms.
For further information on the reporting of interest income on PCD assets, institutions should refer
toence the Glossary entry for “nonaccrual status” and ASC Subtopic 310-10, Receivables – Overall.

Reporting of Retail Sweep Arrangements Affecting Transaction and Nontransaction Accounts –
In an effort to reduce their reserve requirements, some banks have established “retail sweep
arrangements” or “retail sweep programs.” In a retail sweep arrangement, a depository
institution transfers funds between a customer’s transaction account(s) and that customer’s
nontransaction account(s) (usually savings deposit account(s)) by means of preauthorized or
automatic transfers, typically in order to reduce transaction account reserve requirements
while providing the customer with unlimited access to the funds.

R

There are three key criteria for retail sweep programs to comply with the Federal Reserve
Regulation D definitions of “transaction account” and “savings deposit:”
(1) A depository institution must establish by agreement with its transaction account
customer two legally separate accounts: a transaction account (a NOW account or
demand deposit account) and a savings deposit account, including those sometimes
called a “money market deposit account” or “MMDA”;

D

(2) The swept funds must actually be moved from the customer’s transaction account to the
customer’s savings deposit account on the official books and records of the depository
institution as of the close of the business on the day(s) on which the depository
institution intends to report the funds in question as savings deposits and not transaction
accounts, and vice versa. In addition to actually moving the customer’s funds between
accounts and reflecting this movement at the account level:
(a) If the depository institution’s general ledger is sufficiently disaggregated to
distinguish between transaction and savings deposit accounts, the aforementioned
movement of funds between the customer’s transaction account and savings
deposit account must be reflected on the general ledger.

Reporting of Retail Sweep Arrangements – When a depository institution establishes a retail sweep
program, the depository institution must ensure that its customer account agreements provide for
the existence of two distinct accounts rather than a single account and the funds are actually
transferred between these two accounts as described in the customer contract.
There are two key criteria for retail sweep programs:
(1) A depository institution must establish by agreement with its customer two legally separate
accounts;

AF
T

(2) The swept funds must actually be moved between the customer’s two accounts on the official books
and records of the depository institution as of the close of the business on the day(s) on which the
depository institution intends to report the funds
A retail sweep program may not exist solely in records or on systems that do not constitute official books
and records of the depository institution and that are not used for any purpose other than generating its
Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash (FR 2900) for submission to the Federal
Reserve.

D

R

Further, for purposes of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, if all of the criteria above are
met, a bank must determine the appropriate reporting of the accounts that are components of a retail
sweep program separately when it reports its quarter-end deposit information in Schedules RC, RC-E,
and RC-O; its quarterly averages in Schedule RC-K; and its interest expense (if any) in Schedule RI.
Thus, when reporting quarterly averages in Schedule RC-K, a bank should include the accounts
(excluding noninterest-bearing demand deposits) involved in the retail sweep arrangements each day or
each week in the appropriate separate items for average deposits. In addition, if the bank pays interest
on accounts involved in retail sweep arrangements, the interest expense reported in Schedule RI should
be allocated between both accounts based on the balances in these accounts during the reporting period.

distinction may be reflected in supplemental records or systems, but only if such

institution and are subject to the same prudent managerial oversight and controls as

A retail sweep program may not exist solely in records or on systems that do not
constitute official books and records of the depository institution and that are not used
for any purpose other than generating its Report of Transaction Accounts, Other
Deposits and Vault Cash (FR 2900) for submission to the Federal Reserve; and

(3) The maximum number of preauthorized or automatic funds transfers (“sweeps”) out of a
savings deposit account and into a transaction account in a retail sweep program is
limited to not more than six per month. Transfers out of the transaction account and into

If any of the three criteria is not met, all swept funds must continue to be reported as
transaction accounts, both for purposes of these reports and of FR 2900 deposit reports.
All three criteria must be met in order to report the nontransaction account component of a
retail sweep program as a nonreservable savings deposit account.

R

Further, for purposes of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, if all three of
the criteria above are met, a bank must report the transaction account and nontransaction
account components of a retail sweep program separately when it reports its quarter-end
deposit information in Schedules RC, RC-E, and RC-O; its quarterly averages in
Schedule RC-K; and its interest expense (if any) in Schedule RI. Thus, when reporting
quarterly averages in Schedule RC-K, a bank should include the amounts held in the
transaction account (if interest-bearing) and the nontransaction savings account components
of retail sweep arrangements each day or each week in the appropriate separate items for
average deposits. In addition, if the bank pays interest on accounts involved in retail sweep
arrangements, the interest expense reported in Schedule RI should be allocated between
the transaction account and the nontransaction (savings) account based on the balances in
these accounts during the reporting period.
For additional information, refer to the Federal Reserve Board staff guidance relating to the
requirements for a retail sweep program under Regulation D at
http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/legalint/FederalReserveAct/2007/20070501/200705
01.pdf.

(III) Interest-bearing-noninterest-bearing deposit distinction –
(a) Interest-bearing deposit accounts consist of deposit accounts on which the issuing depository
institution makes any payment to or for the account of any depositor as compensation for the
use of funds constituting a deposit. Such compensation may be in the form of cash,
merchandise, or property or as a credit to an account. An institution’s absorption of
expenses incident to providing a normal banking function or its forbearance from charging a
fee in connection with such a service is not considered a payment of interest.
Deposits with a zero percent interest rate that are issued on a discount basis are to be
treated as interest-bearing. Deposit accounts on which the interest rate is periodically
adjusted in response to changes in market interest rates and other factors should be reported
as interest-bearing even if the rate has been reduced to zero, provided the interest rate on
these accounts can be increased as market conditions change.

NOTE: Item 7 is to be completed only by institutions that have not adopted FASB Accounting Standards
Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01), which includes provisions governing the accounting for investments
in equity securities, including investment in mutual funds, and eliminates the concept of available-for-sale
equity securities. ASU 2016-01 requires holdings of equity securities with readily determinable fair values
(except those accounted for under the equity method or that result in consolidation) to be measured at fair
value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income.
Institutions that have adopted ASU 2016-01 should leave item 7 blank and report their holdings of equity

For institutions that are public business entities, as defined in U.S. GAAP, ASU 2016-01 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For
example, an institution with a calendar year fiscal year that is a public business entity must begin to apply
ASU 2016-01 in its Call Report for March 31, 2018. For all other institutions, ASU 2016-01 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019. For example, an institution with a calendar year fiscal year that is not a public
business entity must begin to apply ASU 2016-01 in its Call Report for December 31, 2019. Early
application of ASU 2016-01 is permitted for all institutions that are not public business entities as of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Unallocated last-of-layer fair value hedge basis adjustments. Report the total amount of last-of-layer fair

As defined in Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), “Targeted
Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (ASU 2017-12), the last-of-layer method was added to
allow entities to apply hedge accounting to a portfolio of prepayable fixed-rate financial assets or one or more
beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments. Under ASU 2017-12, different
types of qualifying assets can be grouped together in a last-of-layer hedge.

R

Due to the aggregation of assets in a last-of-layer closed portfolio, institutions may find it challenging to
allocate the last-of-layer FVHBAs to the individual AFS debt security level. As such, an institution that applies
the last-of-layer method to a closed portfolio of AFS debt securities is not required to allocate the portfoliolevel, last-of-layer FVHBAs to a more granular level and should report these unallocated amounts in this item

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”)) with readily determinable fair values. Such
securities include, but are not limited to, money market mutual funds, mutual funds that invest
solely in U.S. Government securities, common stock, and perpetual preferred stock.
Perpetual preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and cannot be redeemed at
the option of the investor, although it may be redeemable at the option of the issuer.
According to ASC Topic 320, the fair value of an equity security is readily determinable if
sales prices or bid-and-asked quotations are currently available on a securities exchange
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in the over-thecounter market, provided that those prices or quotations for the over-the-counter market are
publicly reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations

that changes during the term of the debt security on a predetermined basis, with the exact
rate of interest over the life of the debt security known with certainty to both the borrower and
the lender when the debt security is acquired.
A floating rate is a rate that varies, or can vary, in relation to an index, to some other interest
rate such as the rate on certain U.S. Government securities or the "prime rate," or to some other
variable criterion the exact value of which cannot be known in advance. Therefore, the exact rate
the debt security carries at any subsequent time cannot be known at the time of origination.

Accrued Interest Receivable: Accrued interest receivable is the recorded amount of interest that has
been earned in current or prior periods on interest-bearing assets that has not yet been collected.
For institutions that have not adopted ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses, refer to
the Glossary entry on “nonaccrual status” for the treatment of previously accrued interest. Accrued
interest receivable that is not reported elsewhere on Schedule RC, Balance Sheet, as a component of
the balance sheet amount of the associated financial asset should be reported in Schedule RC-F,
item 1, “Accrued interest receivable.”
For institutions that have adopted ASC Topic 326, ASC Topic 326 permits a series of accounting policy
elections related to accrued interest receivable. These elections are made upon adoption of ASC
Topic 326 and may differ by class of financing receivable or major security- type level. The available
accounting policy elections are:

(1) Institutions may elect to separately present accrued interest receivable separately from the
associated related financial asset. The accrued interest receivable is presented net of an
allowance for credit losses (ACL), if any. An institution that elects to present accrued interest
receivable separately from the amount reported for the related financial asset (e.g., loans, leases,
debt securities, and other interest-bearing assets) on Schedule RC, Balance Sheet (rather than
as a component of the balance sheet amount reported for the related financial asset), should
report the accrued interest receivable in Schedule RC-F, item 1, “Accrued interest receivable.”
(2) Institutions that charge off uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner, i.e., in
accordance with the Glossary entry for “nonaccrual status,” may elect, at the class of financing
receivable or the major security-type level, not to not measure an ACL for accrued interest
receivable. For purposes of these reports, if an institution makes this policy election, the
institution should debit (i.e., reduce) the appropriate category of interest income on Schedule RI,
Income Statement, for the amount of uncollectible accrued interest receivable being charged off.
If an institution does not make this policy election for a particular class of financing receivable or
major security type, the institution should measure an allowance for credit lossesACL on accrued
interest receivable for that class of financing receivable or major security type and should charge
off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable against the allowance for credit losses.

R

An institution may make a separate policy election, at the class of financing receivable or major security
type level, to charge off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income,
recognizing credit loss expense (i.e., provision expense), or a combination of both. If an institution
reverses interest income, the institution should debit (i.e., reduce) the appropriate category of interest
income on Schedule RI, Income Statement, for the amount of uncollectible accrued interest receivable
being charged off. Furthermore, for purposes of these reports, an institution may charge off
uncollectible accrued interest receivable against an ACL by debiting (i.e., reducing) the ACL.

Accrued Interest Receivable Related to Credit Card Securitizations: In a typical credit card
securitization, an institution transfers a pool of receivables and the right to receive the future collections
of principal (credit card purchases and cash advances), finance charges, and fees on the receivables
to a trust. If a securitization transaction qualifies as a sale under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and
Servicing, the selling institution removes the receivables that were sold from its reported assets and
continues to carry any retained interests in the transferred receivables on its balance sheet. The
“accrued interest receivable” (AIR) asset typically consists of the seller’s retained interest in the
investor’s portion of (1) the accrued fees and finance charges that have been billed to customer
accounts, but have not yet been collected (“billed but uncollected”), and (2) the right to finance charges
that have been accrued on cardholder accounts, but have not yet been billed (“accrued but unbilled”).
