Request for OMB approval to revise the following report:
1. Report title: Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call
Report).
Agency form number: FFIEC 031-034.
OMB Docket number: 7100-0036.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Reporters: State member banks.
Annual reporting hours: 169,592.

Number of respondents: 986.
Small businesses are affected.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory to obtain or retain a benefit (12 U.S.C. 324) and is given
partial confidential treatment.
SUMMARY: The proposed revisions to the Call Report that have been
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval are
mandated by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC).
On a quarterly basis, state member banks are required to file
detailed schedules of assets, liabilities, and capital in the form of a
condition report and summary statement; detailed schedule of operating
income and expense, sources and disposition of income, and changes in
equity in the form of an income statement; and a variety of supporting
schedules. Data are used for supervisory and monetary policy purposes.
The proposed changes affect several existing Call Report schedules.
Unless otherwise indicated, the proposed changes would apply to all
four sets of reporting forms (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 032, FFIEC 033, and
FFIEC 034; the proposed changes are as follows:
Deletions and Reductions in detail
The level of detail with which restructured loans and leases that
are in compliance with modified terms are reported in the memoranda
section of Schedule RC-C, ``Loans and Lease Financing Receivables,''
would be reduced. For all banks, the current separate items for the
various non-real-estate loan categories will be combined into a single
item for ``All other loans and all lease financing receivables.'' In
addition, banks with foreign offices or with $300 million or more in
total assets that file the FFIEC 031 and 032 report forms also will
report a single total for their restructured commercial loans to and
their restructured leases of non-U.S. addressees.
Call Report items in the seven following areas would be deleted:
(1) Schedule RC-R, item 3, ``Total qualifying capital allowable
under the risk-based capital guidelines.''
(2) The quarterly average of ``Obligations (other than securities
and leases) of states and political subdivisions in the U.S.'' in
Schedule RC-K, item 6.a(6) on the FFIEC 031, item 6.f on the FFIEC 032,
and Memorandum item 1 on the FFIEC 033. This average has not been
collected from banks with less than $100 million in assets that file
the FFIEC 034 report form.
(3) The four components of mandatory convertible debt, net of
dedicated stock, in Schedule RC-M, items 7.a through 7.d on the FFIEC
031 and 032, items 6.a through 6.d on the FFIEC 033, and items 8.a
through 8.d on the FFIEC 034. The item for the total amount of
mandatory convertible debt, net of dedicated stock, would be retained.
(4) The year-to-date reconcilement of the allocated transfer risk
reserve in Schedule RI-B, Part II. This reconcilement has been
collected only from banks with foreign offices or with total assets of
$300 million or more that file the FFIEC 031 or 032 report forms.
(5) The quarterly reconcilement of the agricultural loan loss
deferral account in Schedule RC-M, items 10.a through 10.e. This
reconcilement has been [[Page 12217]] collected only from banks with
total assets of less than $100 million that file the FFIEC 034 report.
(6) Recoveries of ``Special-Category Loans'' in Schedule RI-B, Part
1, Memorandum item 1 on the FFIEC 031 and 032, Memorandum item 3 on the
FFIEC 033, and Memorandum item 2 on the FFIEC 034. This item has been
collected from national banks only.
(7) The yes-no question on ``Personnel changes among the three
senior officers of the bank during the quarter'' in Schedule RC-M, item
6 on the FFIEC 034. This item has been completed only by banks with
total assets of less than $100 million that file the FFIEC 034 report
form.
New Items
Call Report items in the eight following areas would be added:
(1) Notional Amounts/Par Values
At present, all banks report notional amount/par value data for
interest rate, foreign exchange rate, and other commodity and equity
contracts in items 11 through 13 of Schedule RC-L, ``Off-Balance Sheet
Items.'' The existing items will be expanded to separate exchange-
traded contracts from over-the-counter contracts and to separate equity
derivative contracts from commodity and other contracts. (Spot foreign
exchange contracts would also be reported separately.) In addition, for
each of the four types of underlying risk exposures (i.e., interest
rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity, and other), the total
notional amount/par value of contracts held for trading and held for
purposes other than trading will be reported separately, with the
latter further divided between contracts that are marked to market for
Call Report purposes and those that are not.
(2) Gross Fair Values
For banks with foreign offices or with $100 million or more in
total assets that file the FFIEC 031, 032, or 033 reporting forms,
Schedule RC-L will also be expanded to include gross fair value data
for derivatives. (This information will not be collected from small
banks that file the FFIEC 034 report forms.) For each of the four types
of underlying risk exposures, the gross positive and gross negative
fair values will be reported separately for
(i) Contracts held for trading purposes,
(ii) Contracts held for purposes other than trading that are marked
to market, and
(iii) Contracts held for purposes other than trading that are not
marked to market. When reporting gross fair values, no netting of
contracts would be permitted.
(3) Income-Related Information
Additional memorandum items to Schedule RI, ``Income Statement''
will be reported by banks with foreign offices or with $100 million or
more in total assets that file the FFIEC 031, 032, or 033 reporting
forms. First, banks will provide a breakdown of trading revenue that
has been included in the body of the Schedule RI income statement. For
each of the four types of underlying risk exposures, banks will report
the combined revenue from trading cash and derivative instruments.
Second, for derivatives held for purposes other than trading, banks
will report the effect that these contracts had on the bank's income as
reported in Schedule RI. There will be separate disclosure of
(i) The net increase (decrease) to interest income,
(ii) The net increase (decrease) to interest expense, and
(iii) The effect on noninterest income and expense of these off-
balance-sheet derivative contracts.
(4) Risk-Based Capital Reporting Changes
For those banks that complete Schedule RC-R in its entirety, the
schedule's memorandum section will be revised to provide for the
collection of remaining maturity data for long-dated contracts and for
four additional types of derivative contracts: gold contracts, other
precious metals contracts, other commodity contracts, and equity
contracts. The two replacement cost items currently collected for
interest rate and foreign exchange rate contracts will be deleted and
replaced with a single new item for a bank's current credit exposure
across all derivative contracts and counterparties, taking into account
legally enforceable, bilateral netting agreements that are recognized
for risk-based capital.
(5) Investments in ``High-Risk Mortgage Securities'' and Structured
Notes''
Four memorandum items would be added to Schedule RC-B,
``Securities,'' in which banks will separately report the amortized
cost and fair value of any ``high-risk mortgage securities'' and of any
``structured notes'' that are held in either the held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale portfolios.
(6) Sales of Proprietary Mutual Funds and Annuities
Currently banks are required to report separately the dollar amount
of sales during the quarter for money market funds, equity securities
funds, debt securities funds, other mutual funds, and annuities in
Schedule RC-M, ``Memoranda.'' The five existing mutual fund and annuity
items combine sales of proprietary, private label, and third party
products. The banking agencies would add one item to Schedule RC-M in
which banks will report separately the total sales during the quarter
of proprietary mutual funds and annuities.
(7) Reporting of Reciprocal Demand Balances for Insurance
Assessment Purposes
The banking agencies would add three items to Schedule RC-O,
``Other Data for Deposit Insurance Assessments,'' in order to identify
the amount of the these adjustments to a bank's reported demand
deposits that are needed for deposit insurance assessment purposes:
(i) Amount by which demand deposits would be reduced if reciprocal
demand balances between the reporting bank and savings associations
were reported on a net basis rather than a gross basis in Schedule RC-
E,
(ii) Amount by which demand deposits would be increased if
reciprocal demand balances between the reporting bank and U.S. branches
and agencies of foreign banks were reported on a gross basis rather
than a net basis in Schedule RC-E, and
(iii) Amount by which demand deposits would be reduced if cash
items in process of collection were included in the calculation of net
reciprocal demand balances between the reporting bank and U.S. banks
and savings associations in Schedule RC-E.
(8) Disclosure of the Acquisition Date When Push Down Accounting
Has Been Applied
Push down accounting is the establishment of a new accounting basis
for a bank in its separate financial statements (including its Call
Report) as a result of a substantive change in control. The banking
agencies would add an item to the Memoranda section of Schedule RI,
``Income Statement,'' to reveal the date when any such transactions
have taken place.
Instructional Changes
The Call Report instructions will be updated in certain places to
incorporate references to FASB Statement No. 114, ``Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.'' Statement No. 114 defines
impairment and sets forth measurement methods for estimating the
portion of the total allowance for loan and lease losses attributable
to impaired loans. The banking agencies also propose instructional
changes relating to the reporting of mortgage-backed securities in the
body of Schedule RC-B, ``Securities,'' so that item 4 of Schedule RC-B
will include all mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Call
Report instructions will be clarified in response to questions about
the reporting of lines of credit extended to bank insiders,
participations in pools [[Page 12218]] of residential mortgages,
refundable loan commitment fees, and stock subscription payments.
The effective date for these proposed changes, if approved, would
be the March 31, 1995, report date.
