General Instructions for Preparation of the Annual
Capital Assessments and Stress Testing Report
FR Y‐14A
The FR Y‐14A report collects detailed data on bank holding companies’ quantitative
projections of balance sheet assets and liabilities, income, losses, and capital across a range of
macroeconomic scenarios and qualitative information on methodologies used to develop
internal projections of capital across scenarios. One or more of the macroeconomic scenarios
includes a market risk shock that the bank holding companies (BHCs) will assume when making
trading and counterparty loss projections. The Federal Reserve will provide details about the
macroeconomic scenarios to the BHCs. The FR Y‐14A report includes data schedules for
Summary, Macro Scenario, Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR), Basel III and Dodd‐Frank (Basel III),
and Regulatory Capital Instruments. 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. Separate annual schedules must be reported for each scenario. With the exception
of the CCR schedule and the Trading, CCR, and Operational Risk related worksheets
of the Summary schedule, all annual schedules are required to be reported by all
BHCs.
1) CCR schedule and Trading and CCR worksheets: The six BHCs subject to the
market shock provided by the Federal Reserve in CCAR 2011 must submit this
schedule and worksheets.
2) Operational Risk worksheets: BHCs subject to the Board’s advanced approaches
risk‐based capital rules (12 CFR part 225, Appendix, G) must submit these
worksheets.
c. Certain data elements within the annual schedules are subject to materiality
thresholds. The instructions to these data schedules provide details on whether or
not a BHC must submit a specific data element.

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

(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 FR Y‐14A report according to the appropriate time schedules
described below:
a. With the exception of the CCR schedule and the Trading and CCR worksheets of the
Summary schedule, the data collected will be reported as of September 30. The as‐
of‐date for the CCR schedule and the Trading and CCR worksheets of the Summary
schedule will be communicated to BHCs subject to this requirement during the
fourth quarter.2 All schedules will be due on or before January 9 (unless that day
falls on a weekend (subject to timely filing provisions)).
b. General Timing: If the submission date falls on a weekend, the data must be
received on the first business day after the weekend. 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. Early submission aids the Federal Reserve in reviewing
and processing 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‐14A 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 to
ensure the FR Y‐14A is prepared in accordance with these instructions and reflects 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.
2
BHCs are permitted to submit the CCR schedule and the Trading and CCR worksheets of the Summary 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.

when determining the precise definition to be used in completing the schedules:

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:

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.

requests for interpretations by email to info@CCAR.frb.org.
