INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Government Securities Dealers Reports

I. General Instructions

C. Administrative Issues

A. Organization of the Instruction Book

Authority

This instruction book covers the FR 2004 Primary
Government Securities Dealers Reports. It is divided
into the following sections:

The FR 2004 reports are authorized by law (12 U.S.C.
§§ 248(a)(2), 353-359, and 461(c)). These reports are
required to obtain the benefit of primary dealer status.

Section I (General Instructions) - The general instructions describe the overall reporting requirements.

Confidentiality

Section II (What to Report) - This section describes the
types of reportable securities.
Section III (Report Specific Instructions) - This section
describes the specific reporting requirements for each
FR 2004 report and line. These instructions and definitions supplement the information in the general
instructions.
The forms and instructions are available on the
Board’s website at: http://www.federalreserve.gov/
reportforms/.
Additional information, including the SI and WI
Guide Sheets, is also available on the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York’s (FRBNY) website: http://
www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html.

B. Purpose of the FR 2004 Reports
The FR 2004 reports collect weekly and daily position,
transaction, financing, and fails data of the primary
government securities dealers (primary dealers) in U.S.
government securities and other selected fixed-income
securities. These data provide critical support to the
Federal Reserve in fulfilling important responsibilities,
including monitoring technical developments in U.S.
government securities markets, conducting open market operations, and acting as fiscal agent for the U.S.
Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury).
FR 2004

Individual primary dealer data are regarded as confidential under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and are treated as such by the
Federal Reserve System. Individual reporting entity
data reported on the FR 2004 reports will not be published or otherwise publicly disclosed. Aggregate data
derived from these reports that are published or otherwise publicly disclosed will not reveal the identity of
any individual reporting entity. If it should be determined subsequently that any information collected on
these reports must be released, primary dealers will be
notified.
Data from the FR2004 series may be made available to
the Inter-agency Working Group for Treasury market
surveillance, which includes the Department of the
Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Paperwork Reduction Act
The FR 2004 reports have been reviewed and approved
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
and assigned OMB control number 7100-0003. The
estimated average burden associated with this collection of information, per response, is 3 hours for the
FR 2004A, 3.70 hours for the FR 2004B, 3.1 hours for
GEN-1

January 2022

General Instructions

the FR 2004C, 2.2 hours for the FR 2004SI, 2.2 hours
for the FR 2004SD, 1 hour for the FR 2004WI, 1 hour
for the FR 2004FA, 1 hour for the FR 2004FB, 1 hour
for the FR 2004FC, and 1.5 hours for the FR 2004FM.
These averages include the time to gather and maintain
data in the required form, to review instructions, and to
complete the information collection. The amount of
time required to complete these reports will vary
depending on the amount of data to report. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and
suggestions for reducing burden should be directed to:
Secretary, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System
20th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20551
No person is required to respond to any collection of
information from the Federal Reserve System unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Requests for Revised Data
FRBNY staff review data submitted on the
FR 2004 reports. As a result of their review and analytical procedures, FRBNY staff may ask reporters to
explain data conditions or submit revisions. Since these
data are extremely time-sensitive, reporters should
respond as quickly as possible to these requests. Revisions must be submitted via the Reporting Central
system.
When cancels and corrections to prior period
FR 2004B data occur, they may be corrected by reducing or increasing the next period’s transactions by the
amount of the error. The revisions cannot be applied
to the next period’s transactions if the cancellation or
correction from the prior period results in a negative
amount in the next period’s transactions. In that case,
revised prior period data should be submitted.

Data Retention
In accordance with Federal Reserve Banks Operating
Circular No. 5, the reporting Institution must maintain
a hard copy duplicate of all required statistical or other
bank regulatory data (such as FR 2004) that it submits
electronically, unless, consistent with generally applicable revisions to the requirements for submitting the
particular report, the Institution is no longer required
to retain the hard copy. The hard copy must contain an
GEN-2

January 2022

official signature certifying that the data contained
therein is correct, must be retained by the Institution
for at least five years, and is subject to inspection by the
Reserve Bank.

Officer Declaration and Signature
Each FR 2004 report (A, B, C, SI, SD, WI, FA, FB,
FC, and FM) must be signed by a senior officer of the
primary dealer that has managerial responsibilities for
the internal controls for financial statements or the
trading operations. This includes the CEO, CFO, or
equivalent officer with these responsibilities. The signing officer is expected to notify the FRBNY if the officer becomes aware of any material inaccuracies in
reported data.
Either the signature page of the FRBNY-supplied
sample set of report forms, a photocopy of this signature page, or a copy of the signature page from the primary dealer’s report preparation software should be
used to fulfill the signature and declaration requirement. This page should be attached to the printout
placed in the primary dealer’s official files for a period
of time that is consistent with the retention of the
FR 2004 reports. In addition, a copy of the attestations
must be submitted annually for the last as-of date of
each year to the FRBNY.

D. Who Must Report
Reporting Dealers
Respondents to the reports are primary dealers. The
FR 2004 reports are required to obtain the benefit of
primary dealer status. The Federal Reserve Bank of
New York trades U.S. government and select other
securities with designated primary dealers, which
include banks and securities broker-dealers. A list of
primary dealers can be found at https://
www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html.

Consolidation Rules
For purposes of these reports, data should be reported
for the entire legal entity that functions as the primary
dealer, including any subsidiaries that it consolidates in
its regulatory reports (e.g., FOCUS or FOG). A primary dealer that is a branch or agency of a foreign
banking organization should reflect the activity of the
FR 2004

General Instructions

foreign bank, not just the branch or agency that is specifically designated a primary dealer, unless otherwise
agreed to by FRBNY.

tion. Activities and balances with counterparties not
included in the consolidation described above are
external and should be reported.

Unless specified in these instructions, all activity and
balances between consolidated entities included in the
consolidation described above should be eliminated.
Positions, transactions, financing, and settlement fails
that occur between the branch or agency that is specifically designated as a primary dealer and the head office
of the foreign bank or other banking branches or agencies of the foreign banking organization ( both domestic and foreign) should be eliminated in the consolida-

Positions, transactions, financing, and fails that occur
with unconsolidated affiliates and subsidiaries are
reported as third-party transactions. Do not report
internal trades, including trades between desks or
departments.
Affiliates are companies under the control of the direct
parent of the primary dealer. The following illustrates
the FR 2004 consolidation rules.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Weekly Report of Dealer Transactions
FR 2004B

Accounting Rules
Report outright transactions of fixed principal securities at principal value, excluding accrued interest. Principal value is the face value purchased or sold times the
price. For outright TIPS securities, principal value is
the original issuance par amount (unadjusted for inflation) times the price times the index ratio.
Transactions on the FR 2004B are reported using trade
date accounting.
Report on a cumulative basis for the entire report
week. Do not net purchases and sales.

Reportable Transactions
• Outright transactions and forward transactions of
fixed principal securities.
• Outright transactions and forward transactions in
Treasury Floating Rate Notes (FRNs).
• Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS).
• Purchases of securities by a reporting entity from a
customer to complete the buyback process. However, exclude buyback offers accepted by the U.S.
Treasury, whether for the dealer’s own behalf or on
behalf of their customers.
• When-issued securities.
• Dollar rolls involving To Be Announced (TBA)
securities, for which the underlying security does not
yet exist (e.g., forward MBS).
• Transactions executed through electronic trading
platforms for the reporting dealer’s own accounts.
However, do not report transactions executed to
settle trades for electronic trading platforms, where
the reporter does not take a position.
FR 2004

Counterparty Categories
Column 1 With Inter-Dealer Brokers
A listing of inter-dealer brokers are listed in the Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation’s (FICC) government
securities division and mortgage-backed securities division member directories. The directory can be obtained
from:
http://www.dtcc.com/customer/directories/ficc/
ficc_gov.php
http://www.dtcc.com/customer/directories/ficc/
ficc_mbs.php
• Brokers with an asterisk next to their name are interdealer brokers. These listings are included for use as a
guide and should not be considered an exhaustive list
of all inter-dealer brokers. Dealers should look
through the organizational structure of counterparties when dealing with inter-dealer brokers not specified on the FICC membership directories to identify
affiliate firms designated as inter-dealer brokers that
provide clearing services for the counterparty as well
as inter-dealer brokers that are not FICC members.
Include trades with these institutions in column 1 on
the FR 2004B.
• Trades made through inter-dealer brokers where the
counterparty is revealed after the conclusion of the
trade (give-up trades) should continue to be reported
as transactions with inter-dealer brokers and not as
transactions with others.
Column 2 With Other Counterparties
Include transactions with primary dealers, the
FRBNY (including all open market operations), and
all counterparties other than those included in column 1.

FR 2004B data occur, they may be corrected by reducing or increasing the next period’s transactions by the
amount of the correction. The revisions cannot be
applied to the next period’s transactions if the cancellation or correction from the prior period results in a
negative amount in the next period’s transactions. In
that case, a revised report for the prior period should
be submitted. Instances where the subsequent adjustment distorts the next period’s data significantly may
require a restatement to be submitted.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Weekly Report of Dealer Financing
and Fails
FR 2004C

Accounting Rules
Securities Financings—Report repurchase and reverse
repurchase agreement financing (including General
Collateral Financing (GCF) settled using FICC) as
well as other collateralized financing that is outstanding as-of the FR 2004C report date using settlement
date accounting. A repurchase agreement is a contract
involving the “sale” of financial assets by one party to
another, subject to an agreement by the “seller” to
repurchase the assets at a specified date or in specified
circumstances. A reverse repurchase agreement (also
known as a resale agreement) is a contract involving
the “purchase” of financial assets by one party from
another, subject to an agreement by the “purchaser” to
resell the assets at a specified date or in specified circumstances. Include all financing arrangements where
the underlying collateral are:
• U.S. Treasury Securities including TIPS, STRIPS,
and Floating Rate Notes (FRNs).
• Federal Agency and GSE Securities (excluding MBS)
• Federal Agency and GSE Residential and Commercial MBS
• Corporate Debt including commercial paper
• Asset-backed Securities
• Equities
• All Other dollar denominated, debt instruments used
as collateral including non-Agency or GSE-issued
MBS, CMOs, REMICS, and State and Municipal
securities. Do not include financing arrangements
where the underlying collateral consists of international securities, whole loans, or money market
instruments such as negotiable CDs and bankers
acceptances.
FR 2004

Report the actual funds paid or received. If only securities are exchanged, report the fair (market) value of the
securities pledged.
Report on a gross basis; do not net borrowings against
loans. (FIN 41 does not apply to this report.)
Settlement Fails—Report settlement fails from cash
and financing transactions, including aged fails, at
principal value, excluding accrued interest. Report
financing transactions that fail at the amount that was
to be paid or received on the day the failed trade was to
be settled.
Report on a cumulative basis (including weekends and
holidays) for the reporting period only. Failed transactions that are outstanding two days or more should be
summed each day they are outstanding during the
reporting period. Also include in line 6d (Federal
Agency and GSE mortgage-backed securities fails)
TBA MBS when the settlement date is delayed beyond
the contractual settlement date.
Do not add fails that were outstanding in a prior
reporting period to the cumulative total calculated for
the current reporting period. For example, report a fail
of $1 million that began on Tuesday in reporting
period 1 and is delivered on Friday of reporting
period 2 as:
• $2 million for reporting period 1; and
• $1 million (Thursday only) for reporting period 2.

clearing/settlement arrangement for each transaction.
For bilateral repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, dealers are instructed to report specific and general transactions separately. Specific transactions are
transactions where collateral is identified before the
rate is agreed to by the counterparties, as in a bid for or

Weekly Report of Specific Issues
FR 2004SI

Accounting Rules
Report position and transaction data on the
FR 2004SI at the original issuance par amount. Positions on the FR 2004SI are reported using settlement
date accounting. Long and short positions in the same
issue should be reported net by CUSIP, therefore, a
negative value can be reported in column 4 (net settled
position).
However, transactions reported on the FR 2004SI are
reported using trade date accounting. Report on a
cumulative basis. Do not net purchases and sales.
Report financing data, including security vs. security
exchanges, at the original issuance par amount of the
collateral. Report financing that is outstanding as-of
the report date using trade date accounting. Report on
a gross basis FIN 41 does not apply to this report).

Sheet, which is available on the FRBNY website at:
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primary
dealers.html.

Row Definitions
Submit the securities on the FR 2004 SI in the same
order each week. Fixed principal securities should be
listed first in ascending maturity order followed by the
TIPS securities, also in ascending order. Based on the
U.S. Treasury’s current offering schedule, the reported
securities are:
• Line #1—2-year U.S. Treasury note
• Line #2—3-year U.S. Treasury note
• Line #3—5-year U.S. Treasury note
• Line #4—7-year U.S. Treasury note

Reportable Securities
Report position, transaction, financing, and fails data
for the most recently issued (i.e., on-the-run) U.S.
Treasury securities, including Floating Rate Notes
(FRNs) and TIPS, for each maturity classification on
the FR 2004SI. Once a when-issued security has been
issued, it replaces the security with the same maturity
classification on the FR 2004SI and the security stops
being reported on the FR 2004 WI. For example, a
2-year U.S. Treasury note that has been issued is no
longer reported on the FR 2004WI and begins to be
reported on the FR 2004SI as of close of business the
first Wednesday after its issuance. This 2-year U.S.
Treasury note will continue to be reported on the
FR 2004SI until a 2-year U.S. Treasury note is newly
issued or re-opened by the U.S. Treasury.
The current list of securities reported on the
FR 2004SI is maintained on the FR 2004SI Guide
FR 2004

• Line #6—20-year U.S. Treasury bond

• Line #10—30-year TIPS bond
• Line #11—Treasury Floating Rate Notes

each maturity classification of U.S. Treasury fixed
income, floating rate, and TIPS notes and bonds. Identify securities by coupon and maturity date in
yyyymmdd format.

FR 2004SI

Columns 2 through 3 Outright Cumulative
Transactions
Report data using trade date accounting at the original
issuance par amount. Report gross outright purchases
and sales on a cumulative basis for each reportable
security for the business days since the previous report
(Thursday through Wednesday). Do not net purchases
and sales. Exclude forward transactions.
When a new issue is added to the report, include the
cumulative transactions in that issue since the closing
date of the previous FR 2004SI, even though some of
these transactions may have been reported on the
FR 2004WI. Except for holiday weeks, you should
report five days of transactions for each issue on the
FR 2004SI.
For example, if a new 5-year U.S. Treasury note is
issued on Tuesday, report the transactions in that issue
for the full Thursday through Wednesday reporting
period, even though the transactions on Thursday
through Monday were already reported on the
FR 2004WI.
When a re-opened security is added to the report,
include the cumulative transactions in that security
since its issue date plus the cumulative transactions in
the originally issued security since the closing date of
the previous FR 2004SI. Therefore, transactions
reported on the FR 2004WI for the re-opened security
will not be reported on the FR 2004SI.
For example, if a re-opened 10-year U.S. Treasury note
is issued on Monday, report the transactions in that
issue on Monday through Wednesday and add to it the
transactions in the originally issued 10-year U.S. Treasury note on Thursday and Friday.

Column 4 Net Settled Positions
Report data using settlement date accounting valued at
the original issuance par amount. Long and short positions in the same issue should be reported net by
CUSIP; therefore, a negative value can be reported in
this column. Report a trade arranged for settlement on
or before the closing date of the report as settled, even
if a fail occurs. If such a trade fails to clear, report it as
a fail and report it as part of the net settled position.
Exclude positions in forward contracts.
SI-2

January 2022

Columns 5 through 12 Gross Financing
Report data, including when only securities are
exchanged, using trade date accounting at the original
issuance par amount of the collateral. Report on a
gross basis; do not net borrowings against loans even if
the counterparty, term, and security are identical
(FIN 41 does not apply to this report).

Types of Financing
Columns 5 through 8 Securities In
Report contractual arrangements or the pledge of
securities to be received from counterparties. Report
the following on the FR 2004SI:
• Reverse repurchase agreements including those with
the FRBNY. Include tri-party reverse repurchase
agreements, GCF, bilateral, and HIC agreements.
Include dollar reverse repurchase agreements,
matched sale-purchase agreements, or any form of
synthetic equivalents.
• Securities borrowed, which are contractual agreements in which securities are borrowed from counterparties, including a Federal Reserve Bank. Report
the funds that have been lent. If only securities are
exchanged, report the fair (market) value of the
securities.
• Securities received as pledge, which are securities that
were received by the reporting entity as a pledge
against a loan of securities. Report the fair (market)
value of the securities.
• Collateral received from counterparties as a result of
a margin payment, margin call or other type of similar collateral deposit, or collateral held for another
financial contract (e.g., derivatives).

Columns 9 through 12 Securities Out
Report contractual arrangements or the pledge of
securities to be delivered to counterparties. Report the
following on the FR 2004SI.
• Repurchase agreements including those with the
FRBNY. Include tri-party repurchase agreements,
GCF, bilateral, and HIC agreements.
FR 2004

FR 2004SI

Include dollar repurchase agreements, matched salepurchase agreements, or any form of synthetic
equivalents.
• Securities lent, which are contractual agreements in
which securities are lent to counterparties, including
a Federal Reserve Bank. Report the funds that have
been borrowed. If only securities are exchanged,
report the fair (market) value of the securities.
• Securities pledged, which are securities that were
pledged by the reporting entity to secure a borrowing
of securities. Report the fair (market) value of the
securities.
• Collateralized loans, which are the reporting entity’s
cash borrowings that have been secured by securities.
Report the cash received from a loan.
• Collateral delivered to counterparties (e.g., a clearing
corporation) as a result of a margin payment, margin
call or other type of similar collateral deposit, or collateral sent for another financial contract (e.g.,
derivatives).

Columns 5, 7, 9, 11 Overnight/Continuing
Report as “overnight and continuing,” financing
agreements. An overnight financing agreement is an
agreement that settles on one business day and matures
on the next business day. A continuing contract agreement is an agreement that remains in effect for more
than one business day, but has no specific maturity and
can be terminated by either the borrower or the lender.

Columns 6, 8, 10, 12 Term
Report as “term” financing agreements. A term agreement is an agreement with an original fixed maturity of
more than one business day that is not a continuing
contract.

Columns 13 and 14 Fails
Report data at the original issuance par amount of the
collateral. Do not report on a cumulative basis. Report
failed transactions and failed financing transactions
that occurred on the as-of date only.

Column 15 FRBNY Security ID
Columns 5, 6, 9, and 10 Specific
Transactions
Report as “specific transactions,” transactions where
collateral is identified before the rate is agreed to by the
counterparties, as in a bid for or offer of a particular
CUSIP.

The FRBNY security ID is the number of years of the
original term to maturity for fixed principal securities.
To distinguish reporting of TIPS securities, which have
the same original maturity number of years as the fixed
principal securities, 50 should be added to the number
of years of the original term to maturity. Re-opened
securities retain the same FRBNY security ID as the
new issue. Based on the U.S. Treasury’s current offering schedule, the reported FRBNY security ID will be:
• Line #1–2

Columns 7, 8, 11 and 12 General
Transactions
Report as “general transactions,” transactions where
the parties agree to borrow/lend any member of a class
of securities (such as “a Treasury issue” or “a Treasury
issue no longer than 10 years to maturity”), where the
specific collateral in the transaction to be delivered
pursuant to the agreement is identified after the class
and rate are negotiated. Tri-party and GCF repos are
“general transactions” as is a deliver versus payment
repo where the collateral is identified after the rate,
term, and class are agreed upon. In “general transactions” the lender of collateral has some latitude in its
choice of collateral delivered.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Daily Report of Specific Issues
FR 2004SD

Accounting Rules
Report position and transaction data on the
FR 2004SD at the original issuance par amount. Positions on the FR 2004SD are reported using settlement
date accounting. Long and short positions in the same
issue should be reported net by CUSIP, therefore, a
negative value can be reported in column 3 (net settled
position).
Transactions on the FR 2004SD are reported using
trade date accounting. Do not net purchases and sales.
Report financing data, including security vs. security
exchanges, at the original issuance par amount of the
collateral.

The FR 2004SD data and the FR 2004SI data should
be transmitted separately via the
Reporting Central system. The FR 2004SD data
should be reported based on the data definitions and
accounting rules that apply to the FR 2004SI.

Column 1 Security and Rate
Provide information for each requested security based
on the information in the announcement of a
FR 2004SD report and on the FR 2004SD Guide
Sheet. Identify securities by coupon and maturity date
in yyyymmdd format.

Report financing that is outstanding as-of the report
date using trade date accounting.

Supplemental Information

Report on a gross basis; do not net borrowings against
loans (FIN 41 does not apply to this report).

The FR 2004SD report form also contains fields for
the collection of additional information deemed to be
critical and needed in an expedited manner from primary dealers. The items of information included on the
supplement may change as needed. Once these data are
requested, specific details and reporting guidelines can
be obtained from: http://www.newyorkfed.org/
markets/primarydealers.html.

Reportable Securities
Report position, transaction, financing, and fails data
on a daily basis for requested securities specified by the
FRBNY on the FR 2004SD. These data are reported
daily on demand until notification is received from the
FRBNY to cease daily reporting. Once these data are
requested, the FR 2004SD Guide Sheet is available at:
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Daily Report of Dealer Activity in
Treasury Financing
FR 2004WI

Accounting Rules
Report position data at the original issuance par
amount. Positions are reported using trade date
accounting. Long and short positions should be
reported net; therefore, a negative value can be
reported in column 2 (net outright positions) of the
FR 2004WI.
For each new and re-opened U.S. Treasury security
offered for sale but not yet issued, report the net outright position, net forward financing commitments
and cumulative outright transactions. Report daily
during the when-issued trading period, which is the
time between the announcement and date of issue
(settlement date). The first FR 2004WI is due on the
business day following a financing announcement, for
positions as of the close of business the day of the
announcement. The last report is due on the settlement
date for information as of close of business the previous business day.
Announcement information can be obtained from:
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/annceresult/press/
press.htm. The current list of securities to be reported
on the FR 2004WI is maintained on the FR 2004WI
Guide Sheet, which can be obtained from: http://
www.newyorkfed.org/markets/primarydealers.html.

No Activity
If a reporting entity does not have any when-issued
activity, a report must be submitted reflecting zero
data.

Re-Opened Security
Report net outright positions, net forward financing
commitments, and cumulative outright transactions on
both the previously issued security and the whenFR 2004

issued security as of close of business the prior day. If
there is an existing position for the previously issued
security in inventory, this position should be included
in the net outright position column on day 1.

Column 1 Security
Report the description of each note and bond that the
U.S. Treasury has offered for sale but has not yet
issued. Include the coupon (when known) (use spread
instead of coupon for FRNs) and maturity date in
yyyymmdd format. For a new issue, the coupon is
available on the auction date of the security. For a
re-opened issue, the coupon is available at the time of
the offering.

Column 2 Net Outright Positions
Report net outright positions in the when-issued security and the outstanding security if the U.S. Treasury
has re-opened an issue. Include positions for whenissued delivery, delivery dates after issuance, or in the
case of the outstanding security, any delivery date.
Long and short positions should be reported net by
security; therefore, a negative value can be reported in
column 2 (net outright positions) of the FR 2004WI.
Include reporting entity allotments (securities received
through auction as a result of reporting entities bidding for their own accounts) from the U.S. Treasury as
a gross long position on the auction date only. Exclude
customer awards of securities from net outright
positions.

Column 3 Net Forward Financing
Commitments
A forward commitment is a financing transaction (as
defined for the FR 2004C) that is scheduled to begin
WI-1

January 2022

FR 2004WI

on a date after the report date. For example, an agreement to finance at issuance. Report any forward
financing commitments involving a re-opened or new
when-issued security even if no outright position is
held. When the U.S. Treasury re-opens an issue, report
the net forward financing commitments for both the
security being traded as a when-issue security and for
the security being traded on-the-run. Long and short
positions should be reported net by security, therefore,
a negative value can be reported in column 3 (net forward financing commitments) of the FR 2004WI.
A repurchase agreement or commitment to lend the
security should be considered a short position. A
reverse repurchase agreement or commitment to borrow securities should be considered a long position.
Exclude reporting entity allotments and customer
awards (securities received from bids placed on behalf
of a customer by a reporting entity).

Column 4 and 5 Cumulative Outright
Transactions
Report gross purchases and sales in the appropriate
column. Include transactions in the outstanding security if the U.S. Treasury has re-opened a security.
Report only the transactions executed on the reporting
date. Do not report cumulative transactions across
reporting dates. Do not net purchases and sales.

WI-2

January 2022

Report transactions for any delivery date. Include
immediate, forward and when-issued transactions.
Exclude reporting entity allotments and customer
awards (securities received from bids placed on behalf

Comparisons Between and Within
Report
Appendix A

There are general comparisons among the
FR 2004 reports. However, if your data does not correspond with the comparisons, there may be acceptable
explanations for the differences.

FR 2004A vs. FR 2004B

FR 2004SI (comparisons of column 4,
columns 5 through 12, and columns 13
and 14)
The net settled position reported in column 4 should be
equal to the net financing and fails data reported in
columns 5 through 14.

Changes in positions (between two weeks) reported on
the FR 2004A and should be less than the level of
transactions reported on the current week FR 2004B.

The difference between uses of financing (columns 5
through 8) and sources of financing (columns 9
through 12) should be equal to the difference between
the net settled position (column 4) and net fails data
(columns 13 and 14).

FR 2004A vs. FR 2004SI and
FR 2004WI

FR 2004SD (comparisons of column 4,
columns 5 through 12, and columns 13
and 14)

Positions reported on the FR 2004A should be greater
than or equal to the sum of net settled positions
reported on the FR 2004SI and FR 2004WI.

FR 2004B vs. FR 2004SI and
FR 2004WI
Transactions reported on the FR 2004B should be
greater than or equal to the sum of cumulative outright
transactions reported on the FR 2004SI and
FR 2004WI.

FR 2004C vs. FR 2004SI
U.S. Treasury financing and fails data reported on the
FR 2004C should be greater than or equal to U.S.
Treasury financing and fails data reported on the
FR 2004SI.
FR 2004

The net settled position reported in column 4 should be
equal to the net financing and fails data reported in
columns 5 through 14.
The difference between uses of financing (columns 5
through 8) and sources of financing (columns 9
through 12) should be equal to the difference between
the net settled position (column 4) and net fails data
(columns 13 and 14).

FR 2004SD vs. FR 2004SI
When the same security is reported on the
FR 2004SD and the FR 2004SI, the position, financing, and fails data submitted as-of Wednesday for the
FR 2004SD should match the position, financing, and
fails data submitted for that same Wednesday on the
FR 2004SI for that specific security.
When the same security is reported on the
FR 2004SD and the FR 2004SI, the transaction data
submitted as-of Wednesday for the FR 2004SD should

be less than or equal to the transaction data submitted
for that same Wednesday on the FR 2004SI for that
specific security.

allotment received from the U.S. Treasury auction.

FR 2004WI (comparison of column 2 and
columns 4 and 5)

FR 2004SI vs. FR 2004WI

Net outright positions should reconcile between daily
report dates. Current net outright positions should
equal the prior day’s net outright position plus the current day’s net outright transactions.
On the auction date, the current net outright position
should equal the prior day’s net outright position plus

January 2022

When the same security is reported on the
FR 2004SI as-of Wednesday and the FR 2004WI for
the full report week (Thursday to Wednesday), the sum
of the FR 2004WI transaction data for the full report
week should be greater than or equal to the
FR 2004SI transaction data for the as-of Wednesday.
