Country Exposure Information Report

General Instructions

This report is a supplement to the Country Exposure
Report (Form FFIEC 009) filed with the banking regulatory agencies for bank examination purposes. The
purpose of the Country Exposure Information Report
is to provide public disclosure of significant country
exposures of U.S. banking institutions. Copies of the
report are available to the public by accessing the following website http:/www.ffiec.gov/E16.htm.

Who Must Report

This supplemental disclosure report (Form
FFIEC 009a) has two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A
will be completed when exposure, as defined for Column 4, Part A, to a single country, excluding the
United States, exceeds one percent of the banking 15
institution’s total assets or exceeds 20 percent of the
banking institution’s total capital, whichever is less. All
columns included in Part A should only be completed
for the countries that exceed these thresholds. Part B
will be used to report the names of the countries where
the amount of exposure exceeds 0.75 percent but does
not exceed 1 percent of the banking institution’s total
assets or is between 15 percent and 20 percent of the
banking institution’s total capital, whichever is less.
The banking institution must only list the names of the
countries and the aggregate amount of exposure for all
countries listed under Part B. For the purposes of
meeting these criteria, exposure is defined as the
amount of total claims computed in accordance with
the instructions to Column 4, Part A.

D

6

R

This report must be filed by every institution that submits Form FFIEC 009 and that has exposure meeting
the reporting requirements for Form FFIEC 009a as
defined in these instructions.

.75

Total assets of reporting banks are those submitted on
the Report of Condition to the federal bank supervisors as of the same date. For bank holding companies
total assets are those submitted on the most recent
Form FR Y-9C.
Total capital is as defined in the agencies’ guidelines on
capital adequacy and consists of Tier 1 plus Tier 2
capital.

Public Release of Country Exposure
Information Reports
The individual FFIEC 009a reports are made publicly
available.
A reporting institution may request confidential treatment for some or all of the portions of the
FFIEC 009a if the institution is of the opinion that
disclosure of specific commercial or financial information in the report would likely cause substantial harm
to its competitive position. In certain limited circumstances, the reporting institution’s primary federal
supervisor may approve confidential treatment of
some or all of the items for which such treatment has
been requested if the institution has clearly provided a
compelling justification for the request. A request for
confidential treatment must be submitted in writing
prior to the electronic submission of the report. The
written request must identify the specific items for
which confidential treatment is requested, provide justification for the confidential treatment requested for
the identified items, and demonstrate the specific
nature of the harm that would result from public
release of the information. Merely stating that competitive harm would result is not sufficient. Information for which confidential treatment is requested may
subsequently be released by the reporting institution’s
primary federal supervisor in accordance with the
terms of 12 CFR 4.16 (OCC), 12 CFR 261.16 (Board),
