Joint notice and request for
comment.

ACTION:

Jkt 241001

In accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the OCC,
the Board, and the FDIC (the agencies)
may not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. The agencies, under the
auspices of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC), have approved the publication
of proposed revisions to the Regulatory
Capital Reporting for Institutions
Subject to the Advanced Capital
Adequacy Framework (FFIEC 101) for
public comment. The FFIEC 101 is
completed only by banking
organizations subject to the advanced
approaches risk-based capital rule.
Generally, this rule applies to banking
organizations with $250 billion or more
in total consolidated assets or $10
billion or more in on-balance sheet
foreign exposures (advanced approaches
banking organizations).
The proposed revisions would remove
two credit valuation adjustment (CVA)
items from the exposure at default
(EAD) column on FFIEC 101 Schedule
B, Summary Risk-Weighted Asset
Information for Banks Approved to Use
Advanced Internal Ratings-Based and
Advanced Measurement Approaches for
Regulatory Capital Purposes (items 31.a
and 31.b, column D). Advanced
approaches banking organizations
would discontinue reporting the EAD
CVA data items on FFIEC 101 Schedule
B effective with the June 30, 2017,
reporting date.
At the end of the comment period, the
comments will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the FFIEC and the
agencies should modify the proposed
revisions. The agencies will then submit
the proposed revisions to OMB for
review and final approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before May 1, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments to
any or all of the agencies. All comments,
which should refer to the OMB control
number(s), will be shared among the
agencies.
OCC: Because paper mail in the
Washington, DC, area and at the OCC is
subject to delay, commenters are
encouraged to submit comments by
email, if possible to prainfo@
occ.treas.gov. Comments may be sent to:

General Description of Reports
Each advanced approaches banking
organization is required to file quarterly
regulatory capital data on the FFIEC
101. The FFIEC 101 information
collection is mandatory for advanced
approaches banking organizations: 12
U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C.
324 (state member banks), 12 U.S.C.
1844(c) (bank holding companies), 12
U.S.C. 1467a(b) (savings and loan

holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1817
(insured state nonmember commercial
and savings banks), 12 U.S.C. 1464
(savings associations), and 12 U.S.C.
1844(c), 3106, and 3108 (intermediate
holding companies).
The agencies use these data to assess
and monitor the levels and components
of each reporting entity’s capital
requirements and the adequacy of the
entity’s capital under the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework; to
evaluate the impact of the Advanced
Capital Adequacy Framework on
individual reporting entities and on an
industry-wide basis and its competitive
implications; and to supplement on-site
examination processes. The reporting
schedules also assist advanced
approaches banking organizations in
understanding expectations relating to
the system development necessary for
implementation and validation of the
Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework. Submitted data that are
released publicly will also provide other
interested parties with information
about advanced approaches banking
organizations’ regulatory capital.
Current Actions
The agencies are inviting comment on
a proposal to remove two items from
FFIEC 101 Schedule B. No other
revisions to the FFIEC 101 report are
being proposed.
The two items proposed for removal
collect EAD information related to CVAs
that already is captured in a separate
item on FFIEC 101 Schedule B.
Specifically, the agencies are proposing
to remove column D (EAD) for items
31.a, ‘‘Credit valuation adjustments—
simple approach,’’ and 31.b, ‘‘Credit
value adjustments—advanced
approach.’’ These line items were added
to the FFIEC 101 report in March of
2014, and were intended to provide data
pertaining to the CVA requirements
under the agencies’ regulatory capital
rules 1 for over-the-counter (OTC)
derivative activities.
Under these rules, CVA is the fair
value adjustment to reflect counterparty
credit risk in the valuation of an OTC
derivative contract that has a positive
fair value. The advanced approaches
risk-based capital rules provide two
approaches for calculating the CVA
capital requirement: The simple and
advanced CVA approaches. The
conditions for each approach, as well as
the methods for calculation, are
described in section 132 of the
1 For national banks and federal savings
associations, 12 CFR part 3 (OCC); for state member
banks and holding companies, 12 CFR part 217
(Board); and for state nonmember banks and state
savings associations, 12 CFR part 324 (FDIC).

regulatory capital rules. Currently, EAD
information pertaining to CVAs that is
reported in FFIEC 101 Schedule B
remains confidential, even after an
institution completes its parallel run
period.
The agencies have determined that
the EAD information reported in
column D of items 31.a and 31.b on
FFIEC 101 Schedule B is already
captured in column D of item 10 (OTC
derivatives—no cross-product netting—
EAD adjustment method) on FFIEC 101
Schedule B. Continuing to collect the
same EAD information in both places is
not only redundant, but also may be
misinterpreted by the users of FFIEC
101 data as additional default risk held
by the reporting entity. For these
reasons, the agencies propose removing
column D for items 31.a and 31.b on
FFIEC 101 Schedule B.
The agencies would continue to
collect the amount of risk-weighted
assets for CVAs in column G of items
31.a and 31.b on FFIEC 101 Schedule B.
