    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.
    
        Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, February 28, 
    1995.
