LINE ITEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR

Regulatory Capital
Schedule HC-R

Opt-in to the CBLR framework

A qualifying holding company may opt in to use the
CBLR framework. Qualifying holding companies opt
into and out of the CBLR framework through their
FR Y-9C. A qualifying holding company that opts into
the CBLR framework (electing holding company) must
complete Schedule HC-R, Part I, items 1 through 36, and
can make that election on Schedule HC-R, Part I,
item 31.a. A qualifying holding company can opt out of
the CBLR framework by completing Schedule HC-R,
Part I and Part II, excluding Schedule HC-R, Part I,
items 32 through 36. However, the Board may disallow
an otherwise qualifying holding company use of the
CBLR framework based on the Board’s evaluation of the
risk profile of the holding company.

AF

The instructions for Schedule HC-R, Parts I and II,
should be read in conjunction with the revised regulatory
capital rules issued by the Board on July 2, 2013. 12 CFR
Part 217.

column B are to be completed by advanced approaches
holding companies.2

capital rules) is (i) global systemically important bank holding company, as
identified pursuant to 12 CFR 217.402; (ii) a Category II institution; (iii) is

March 2021

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, and the final rule became effective
November 9, 2020, with no changes to the interim final
rules. The final rule 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 final rule.
A qualifying holding company 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

Example and a worksheet calculation:
Assumptions:
• Eligible retained income is calculated for FR Y-9C
report date of March 31, 2021.
• The holding company reported the following on its
FR Y-9C in Schedule HI, Income Statement, item 14,
“Net income (loss) attributable to holding company

For all GSIB holding companies, report the leverage
buffer as a percentage, rounded to four decimal places, if
applicable, from FFIEC 101 Schedule A, Table 2,
Item 2.23.
The leverage buffer is equal to Schedule HC-R, item 53,
less 3.0000 percent, which is the minimum leverage
buffer requirement under section 10(a)(5) of the regulatory capital rules. However, if the holding company’s
leverage buffer calculated above is less than zero (i.e., is
negative), the holding company’s leverage buffer is zero.

Companies Subject to the Capital Plan Rule:
Line Item 66 Eligible retained income.
Report the amount of eligible retained income as the
greater of (1) a holding company’s net income for the
four preceding calendar quarters, net of any distributions
and associated tax effects not already reflected in net
income, and (2) the average of holding company’s net
income over the four preceding calendar quarters. (See
the instructions for Schedule HC-R, Part I, item 52, for
the definition of “distributions” from section 2 of the
regulatory capital rules.)
For Schedule HC-R, Part I, item 59, the four preceding
calendar quarters refers to the calendar quarter ending on
the last date of the reporting period and the three
preceding calendar quarters as illustrated in the example
below. The average of an holding company’s net income
over the four preceding calendar quarters refers to average of three- month net income for the calendar quarter
