General Instructions for Preparation of the Quarterly
Capital Assessments and Stress Testing Report
FR Y‐14Q
The FR Y‐14Q report collects detailed data on bank holding companies’ various asset
classes and categories of pre‐provision net revenue (PPNR) on a quarterly basis, which will be
used to support supervisory stress testing models and for continuous monitoring efforts. The
FR Y‐14Q report includes data schedules for Securities Risk, Retail Risk, PPNR, Wholesale Risk,
Trading, Private Equity, and Other Fair Value Assets (Trading), Basel III and Dodd‐Frank (Basel
III), and Regulatory Capital Instruments. All of the data schedules, other than the Basel III
schedule and Regulatory Capital Instruments schedules are to be submitted each quarter for
data starting as‐of the end of the third quarter of 2011. The Basel III and Regulatory Capital
Instruments data schedules are to be submitted in all quarters other than for data starting as‐of
the end of the third quarter. Initially, the reporting panel consists of the 19 large domestic
bank holding companies (BHCs) that participated in the 2009 Supervisory Capital Assessment
Program (SCAP) and the 2011 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) exercises1.
(1) Who Must Report
(i) Reporting Criteria
a. The large domestic BHCs that participated in the 2009 Supervisory Capital
Assessment Program (SCAP) and the 2011 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and
Review (CCAR 2011) exercises are required to submit the Capital Assessment and
Stress Testing report to the Federal Reserve.
b. The specific reporting requirements for each BHC depend upon the size of the
holding company and the level of activity in certain risk types. The number of
schedules each BHC is required to complete is subject to materiality thresholds.
1) PPNR schedule, Basel III schedule, and Regulatory Capital Instruments
schedule: All BHCs must submit these schedules.
2) Trading schedule: The six BHCs that were specifically subject to the market
shock provided by the Federal Reserve in CCAR 2011 must submit this schedule.
3) All other quarterly schedules: The remaining schedules are subject to
materiality thresholds. Material portfolios are defined as those with asset
balances greater than $5 billion or asset balances greater than 5 percent of Tier 1
capital on average for the four quarters preceding the reporting quarter. All data
used to determine materiality should be measured as of the close of business of
the last calendar day of the quarter; assets included in a given portfolio are

All but one BHC that participated in the SCAP exercise had total assets greater than $100 billion as of year‐end
2008.

defined in the instructions for each schedule. BHCs will have an option to
complete the data schedules for immaterial portfolios. If the BHCs do not
complete the schedules, the Federal Reserve will assign losses to immaterial
portfolios in a manner consistent with the given scenario to produce supervisory
estimates.
(ii) Exemptions
a. Only BHCs that did not meet the reporting criteria listed in paragraph one above are
exempt from reporting.
(2) Where to Submit the Reports
(i) All BHCs subject to these reporting requirements must submit completed reports
electronically. BHCs will be provided information on how to transmit data to the FR Y‐
14 IntraLinks Collaboration website.
(3) When to Submit the Reports
(i) BHCs must file the Capital Assessment and Stress Testing schedules (FR Y‐14Q)
according to the appropriate time schedules described below:
a. With the exception of the trading schedule, the data collected during this first
submission will be reported as of September 30, 2011. The as‐of‐date for the
trading schedule will be communicated to the BHCs subject to this requirement
during the 4th quarter.2 During the first submission, all schedules, other than the
Basel III and Regulatory Capital Instruments schedules, will be due on or before
December 15, 2011.
b. Quarterly thereafter, BHCs must submit data on the same time schedule as the FR Y‐
9C reported data (40 calendar days after the calendar quarter‐end for March, June,
and September and 45 calendar days after the calendar quarter‐end for December,
unless that day falls on a weekend or holiday (subject to timely filing provisions)).
c. Beginning in 2012, the quarterly Trading schedule as‐of‐date for the first, second,
and fourth quarters will be the same as the as‐of dates for the other reported
schedules. For the 3rd quarter, the BHCs will be required to report data as part of a
market shock exercise.2 Due to the nature of this exercise, the Federal Reserve will
communicate to the appropriate BHCs the specific as‐of‐date for trading data in the
4th quarter. The data for this as‐of‐date will be due 40 calendar days after the
notification date (notifying respondents of the as‐of‐date).
2
BHCs are permitted to submit the quarterly trading schedule as of the most recent date that corresponds to the
regular reporting cycle that falls prior to the specified as‐of date. That as‐of date will be communicated to the
BHCs after it has occurred but in the fourth quarter.

d. General Timing: If the submission date falls on a weekend or holiday, the data must
be received on the first business day after the weekend or holiday. No other
extensions of time for submitting reports will be granted. The data are due by the
end of the reporting day on the submission date. Earlier submission aids the Federal
Reserve in reviewing and processing the data and is encouraged.
(4) How to Prepare the Reports
(i) Applicability of GAAP, Consolidation Rules, and Other Instructional Guidance
a. BHCs are required to prepare and file the FR Y‐14Q schedules in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and these instructions. The
financial records of the BHCs should be maintained in such a manner and scope so as
to ensure the FR Y‐14Q can be prepared and filed in accordance with these
instructions and reflect a fair presentation of the BHCs' financial condition and
assessment of performance under stressed scenarios.
b. Rules of Consolidation: Reference the FR Y‐9C General Instructions for a discussion
of the rules of consolidation.
c. BHCs should review the following published documents (in the order listed below)
when determining the precise definition to be used in completing the schedules:
1) The FR Y‐14Q instructions;
2) The latest available FR Y‐9C instructions published on the Federal
Reserve’s public web site: http://www.federalreserve.gov/reportforms;
3) The Basel III Framework Document published on the Bank of
International Settlements (BIS) web site:
http://www.bis.org/bcbs/basel3.htm.
(ii) Confidentiality: As these data will be collected as part of the supervisory process, they
are subject to confidential treatment under exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information
Act. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8). In addition, commercial and financial information contained in
these information collections may be exempt from disclosure under Exemption 4. 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Disclosure determinations would be made on a case‐by‐case basis.
(iii) Amended Reports
a. The Federal Reserve will require the filing of amended reports if reports as
previously submitted contain significant errors. In addition, a reporting institution
must file an amended report when it or the Federal Reserve discovers significant
errors or omissions subsequent to submission of a report. Failure to file amended
reports on a timely basis may subject the institution to supervisory action.
(iv) Questions and Requests for Interpretations: BHCs should submit any questions or
requests for interpretations by email to info@CCAR.frb.org.
