Dear «Name»:
The Treasury Department has committed to determining the effectiveness of all of the programs of the Office
of Financial Stability (OFS). One aspect of this evaluation is analyzing the usage of Capital Purchase
Program (CPP) and Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI) lending program capital for a more
effective understanding of what actions institutions took, or were able to avoid taking, because of CPP and
CDCI funding. To this end, the Treasury Department intends to collect and analyze information from a
number of sources to gauge the effectiveness of the CPP and CDCI, including this annual Use of Capital
Survey for past and present participants of the CPP and CDCI. The primary contact at your institution will
also receive a formal letter with further details to complement this email.
The purpose of the annual Use of Capital Survey is to obtain insight into the lending, financial
intermediation, and capital building activities of all recipients of government investment through CPP and
CDCI funds. This survey is designed to capture representative information of CPP and CDCI fund usage
without imposing excessive burdens on institutions, and will cover how each financial institution has
employed the capital infusion of CPP and CDCI funds from the date they initially received the funds until
the end of 2011. Treasury will also publish summary balance sheet and income statement information from
each institution’s regulatory filings. If you converted from CPP to CDCI you should complete only a survey
for CDCI, which includes CPP funds.
Treasury is circulating an electronic survey form for your institution to fill out and return by March 1, 2012.
