Part I. (cont.)
Item No.

Caption and Instructions

1.b
(cont.)

Exclude loans for farm property construction and land development purposes (report in
Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.a).
Secured by 1-4 family residential properties. Report in the appropriate subitem (on the
FFIEC 041, in column B; on the FFIEC 031, in columns A and B for large institutions and
highly complex institutions – as defined for assessment purposes – with foreign offices, and
in column B for all other institutions with foreign offices) open-end and closed-end loans
secured by real estate as evidenced by mortgages (FHA, FmHA, VA, or conventional) or
other liens on:

T

1.c

(1) Nonfarm property containing 1-to-4 dwelling units (including vacation homes) or more
than four dwelling units if each is separated from other units by dividing walls that extend
from ground to roof (e.g., row houses, townhouses, or the like).

AF

(2) Mobile homes where (a) state laws define the purchase or holding of a mobile home as
the purchase or holding of real property and where (b) the loan to purchase the mobile
home is secured by that mobile home as evidenced by a mortgage or other instrument on
real property.
(3) Individual condominium dwelling units and loans secured by an interest in individual
cooperative housing units, even if in a building with five or more dwelling units.
(4) Housekeeping dwellings with commercial units combined where use is primarily
residential and where only 1-to-4 family dwelling units are involved.

R

Reverse 1-4 family residential mortgages should be reported in the appropriate subitem
based on whether they are closed-end or open-end mortgages. A reverse mortgage is an
arrangement in which a homeowner borrows against the equity in his/her home and receives
cash either in a lump sum or through periodic payments. However, unlike a traditional
mortgage loan, no payment is required until the borrower no longer uses the home as his or
her principal residence. Cash payments to the borrower after closing, if any, and accrued
interest are added to the principal balance. These loans may have caps on their maximum
principal balance or they may have clauses that permit the cap on the maximum principal
balance to be increased under certain circumstances. Homeowners generally have one of
the following options for receiving tax free loan proceeds from a reverse mortgage: (1) one
lump sum payment; (2) a line of credit; (3) fixed monthly payments to homeowner either for a
specified term or for as long as the homeowner lives in the home; or (4) a combination of the
above.

D

Reverse mortgages that provide for a lump sum payment to the borrower at closing, with no
ability for the borrower to receive additional funds under the mortgage at a later date, should
be reported as closed-end loans in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.c.(2). Normally, closed-end
reverse mortgages are first liens and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part I,
item 1.c.(2)(a). Reverse mortgages that are structured like home equity lines of credit in
that they provide the borrower with additional funds after closing (either as fixed monthly
payments, under a line of credit, or both) should be reported as open-end loans in
Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.c.(1). Open-end reverse mortgages also are normally first
liens. Where there is a combination of both a lump sum payment to the borrower at closing
and payments after the closing of the loan, the reverse mortgage should be reported as an
open-end loan in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.c.(1).

RC-C - LOANS AND LEASES

Part I. (cont.)
Item No.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a revolving open-end line of credit secured by a lien
on a 1-to-4 family residential property that generally provides a draw period followed by a
repayment period. During the draw period, a borrower has revolving access to unused
amounts under a specified line of credit. During the repayment period, the borrower can no
longer draw on the line of credit and the outstanding principal is either due immediately in a
balloon payment or repaid over the remaining term through monthly payments. HELOCs in
the draw period or in the repayment period should be reported in Schedule RC-C, Part I,
item 1.c.(1).1 Revolving open-end lines of credit that are no longer in the draw period and
have converted to non-revolving closed-end status also should be reported in Schedule RCC, part I, Memorandum item 16.

Caption and Instructions

1.c.(1)

AF

Exclude loans for 1-to-4 family residential property construction and land development
purposes (report in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.a.(1)). Also exclude loans secured by
vacant lots in established single-family residential sections or in areas set aside primarily for
1-to-4 family homes (report in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.a.(2)).

Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended
under lines of credit. Report (on the FFIEC 041, in column B; on the FFIEC 031, in
columns A and B for large institutions and highly complex institutions – as defined for
assessment purposes – with foreign offices, and in column B for all other institutions with
foreign offices) the amount outstanding under revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by
1-to-4 family residential properties, i.e., HELOCs.. These lines of credit, commonly known as
home equity lines, are typically secured by a junior lien and are usually accessible by check
or credit card
Include revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties for
which the draw periods have ended and the loans have converted to non-revolving closedend status.1 After their conversion, such loans should also be reported in Schedule RC-C,
Part I, Memorandum item 16 beginning March 31, 2021.

R

Also include amounts drawn on a HELOC during its draw period that the borrower has
converted to a closed-end loan before the end of this period (sometimes referred to as a
HELOC flex product).

Closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties. Report in the appropriate
subitem (on the FFIEC 041, in column B; on the FFIEC 031, in columns A and B for large
institutions and highly complex institutions – as defined for assessment purposes – with
foreign offices, and in column B for all other institutions with foreign offices) the amount of all
closed-end loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties (i.e., closed-end first
mortgages and junior liens).

D

1.c.(2)

Exclude loans that were extended under revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by
1-to-4 family residential properties for which the draw periods have ended and the loans
have converted to non-revolving closed-end status (report in Schedule RC-C, Part I, item
1.c.(1) above).1

1

All HELOCs that convert to non-revolving, closed-end status on or after January 1, 2021, must be
reported as open-end loans in item 1.c.(1). An institution that, as of March 31, 2020, reports HELOCs
that convert to non-revolving, closed-end status as closed-end loans in Schedule RC-C, Part I, item
1.c.(2)(a) or 1.c.(2)(b), as appropriate, may continue to report HELOCs that convert on or before
December 31, 2020, as closed-end loans in Call Reports for report dates after that date. Alternatively,
the institution may choose to begin reporting some or all of these closed-end HELOCs as open-end
loans in item 1.c.(1) as of the March 31, 2020, or any subsequent report date, provided this reporting
treatment is consistently applied.

RC-L – DERIVATIVES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET

Caption and Instructions
Commercial and similar letters of credit. Report the amount outstanding and unused as of
the report date of issued or confirmed commercial letters of credit, travelers' letters of credit
not issued for money or its equivalent, and all similar letters of credit, but excluding standby
letters of credit (which are to be reported in Schedule RC-L, items 2 and 3, above). (See the
Glossary entry for "letter of credit.") Legally binding commitments to issue commercial letters
of credit are to be reported in this item.

T

Travelers' letters of credit and other letters of credit issued for money or its equivalent by the
reporting bank or its agents should be reported as demand deposit liabilities in Schedule RC-E.
Not applicable.

6

Securities lent and borrowed:

6.a

Securities lent. Report the appropriate amount of all securities lent against collateral or on
an uncollateralized basis. Report the fair value as of the report date of bank-owned trading
and available-for-sale securities and the amortized cost as of the report date of bank-owned
held-to-maturity securities that have been lent. In addition, for customers who have been
indemnified against any losses by the reporting bank or its consolidated subsidiaries, report
the fair value as of the report date of such customers' securities, including customers'
securities held in the reporting bank's trust department, that have been lent. If the reporting
bank or its consolidated subsidiaries have indemnified their customers against any losses on
their securities that have been lent by the bank or its subsidiaries, the commitment to
indemnify – either through a standby letter of credit or other means – should not be reported
in any other item on Schedule RC-L.

6.b

Securities borrowed. Report the appropriate amount of all securities borrowed by the bank
against collateral or on an uncollateralized basis. For borrowed securities that are fully
collateralized by similar securities of equivalent value, report the fair value of the borrowed
securities at the time they were borrowed. For other borrowed securities, report their fair
value as of the report date.

Credit derivatives. In general, credit derivatives are arrangements that allow one party
(the “protection purchaser” or "beneficiary") to transfer the credit risk of a "reference asset"
or “reference entity” to another party (the “protection seller” or "guarantor"). Banks should
report the notional amounts of credit derivatives by type of instrument in Schedule RC-L,
items 7.a.(1) through 7.a.(4). Banks should report the gross positive and negative fair values
of all credit derivatives in Schedule RC-L, items 7.b.(1) and 7.b.(2). For both the notional
amounts and gross fair values, report credit derivatives for which the bank is the protection
seller in column A, “Sold Protection,” and those on which the bank is the protection purchaser
in column B, “Purchased Protection.” Banks should report the notional amounts of credit
derivatives by regulatory capital treatment in Schedule RC-L, items 7.c.(1)(a) through
7.c.(2)(c). Banks should report the notional amounts of credit derivatives by remaining
maturity in Schedule RC-L, items 7.d.(1)(a) through 7.d.(2)(b). All notional amounts to be
reported in items 7.a.(1) through 7.a.(4), 7.c.(1)(a) through 7.c.(2)(c), and 7.d.(1)(a) through
7.d.(2)(b) should be based on the notional amount definition in U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

An agent bank with risk is a bank that, by agreement, participates in another bank’s merchant
credit card acceptance program. An agent bank with risk assumes liability for chargebacks for
all or a portion of the loss for the merchants' sales activity.
For purposes of items 11.a and 11.b, banks should include credit card sales transactions
involving bank credit cards, e.g., MasterCard and Visa.

11.b

Sales for which the reporting bank is the agent bank with risk. Report the year-to-date
volume of sales (in U.S. dollars) generated through the bank's merchant processing activities
where the reporting bank is acting as an agent bank with risk. Include all sales transactions
for which the acquiring bank with whom the reporting bank contracted may hold the bank
responsible.

Gross amounts (e.g., notional amounts) of derivatives. Report in the appropriate column
and subitem the gross par value (stated in U.S. dollars) (e.g., for futures, forwards, and option
contracts) or the notional amount (stated in U.S. dollars) (e.g., for forward rate agreements
and swaps), as appropriate, of all contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and must
be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly
FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as
amended). Include both freestanding derivative contracts and embedded derivatives that
must be accounted for separately from their host contract under ASC Topic 815. Report each
contract according to its underlying risk exposure: (a) interest rate, (b) foreign exchange,
(c) equity, or (d) commodity and other. Contracts with multiple risk characteristics should be
classified based upon the predominant risk characteristics at the origination of the derivative.
However, exclude from Schedule RC-L, items 12 through 15, all credit derivatives, which
should be reported in Schedule RC-L, item 7, above.

R

12

Sales for which the reporting bank is the acquiring bank. Report the year-to-date volume
of sales (in U.S. dollars) generated through the bank's merchant processing activities where
the reporting bank is the acquiring bank. This will include amounts processed for merchants
contracted directly by the acquiring bank, amounts processed for agent banks with risk, and
amounts processed for third parties (e.g., independent sales organizations and member
service providers). Banks that are required to report sales data to the credit card
associations of which they are members (e.g., MasterCard and Visa) should measure sales
volume in the same manner for purposes of this item.

AF

11.a

T

For banks with total assets of $10 billion or more, the year-to-date sales volume may be
reported to the nearest million dollars, with zeros reported for the thousands, rather than to
the nearest thousand dollars.

D

Also exclude notional amounts or par values for the derivatives that have matured, but have
associated unsettled receivables or payables that are reported as assets or liabilities,
respectively, on the balance sheet as of the quarter-end report date.
All notional amounts or par values to be reported in Schedule RC-L, items 12 through 15,
should be based on the notional amount definition in U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
The notional amount or par value to be reported for a derivative contract with a multiplier
component is the contract's effective notional amount or par value. For example, a swap
contract with a stated notional amount of $1,000,000 whose terms called for quarterly
settlement of the difference between 5% and LIBOR multiplied by 10 has an effective notional
amount of $10,000,000.

To meet the business conduct test, which is set forth in Section 327.5(b)(3) of the FDIC’s
regulations, a bank must conduct 50 percent or more of its business with entities other than
its parent holding company or entities other than those controlled either directly or indirectly
by its parent holding company. Control has the same meaning as in Section 3(w)(5) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813(w)(5)).

10.a

Banker’s bank deduction. A qualifying banker’s bank is eligible to have the FDIC deduct
certain assets from its assessment base, subject to a limit. Report in this item on an
unconsolidated single FDIC certificate number basis the banker’s bank deduction, which
equals the sum of a qualifying banker’s bank’s average balances due from Federal Reserve
Banks plus its average federal funds sold. These averages should be calculated on a daily
or weekly basis consistent with the qualifying banker’s bank’s calculation of its average
consolidated total assets in Schedule RC-O, item 4 (and as reported in Schedule RC-O,
item 4.a).

T

Item No.

AF

Balances due from Federal Reserve Banks include the total balances due from Federal
Reserve Banks, including the qualifying banker’s bank’s own reserves and other balances as
well as reserve balances actually passed through to a Federal Reserve Bank by the banker’s
bank on behalf of its respondent depository institutions (as described in the instructions for
Schedule RC-A, item 4, “Balances due from Federal Reserve Banks”). For a qualifying
banker’s bank that is a respondent in a pass-through reserve relationship with a
correspondent bank, balances due from Federal Reserve Banks include the reserve balances
the correspondent bank has passed through to a Federal Reserve Bank for the respondent
banker’s bank. Balances due from Federal Reserve Banks also include the qualifying
banker’s bank’s excess balance accounts, which are limited-purpose accounts at Federal
Reserve Banks for maintaining an institution’s excess balances that are eligible to earn
interest on their Federal Reserve balances. See the Glossary entry for “pass-through reserve
balances.”
Federal funds sold are defined in the instructions for Schedule RC, item 3.a, “Federal funds
sold.” See also the Glossary entry for “federal funds transactions.”
Banker’s bank deduction limit. A qualifying banker’s bank is eligible to have the FDIC
deduct certain assets from its assessment base, subject to a limit. Report in this item on an
unconsolidated single FDIC certificate number basis the banker’s bank deduction limit, which
equals the sum of a qualifying banker’s bank’s average deposits of commercial banks and
other depository institutions in the U.S. plus its average federal funds purchased. These
averages should be calculated on a daily or weekly basis consistent with the qualifying
banker’s bank’s calculation of its average consolidated total assets in Schedule RC-O, item 4
(and as reported in Schedule RC-O, item 4.a).

Custodial bank certification: Does the reporting institution meet the definition of a
custodial bank set forth in FDIC regulations? If the reporting institution meets the
custodial bank definition on an unconsolidated single FDIC certificate number basis, it should
answer “Yes” to item 11 and complete Schedule RC-O, items 11.a and 11.b. However, if a
custodial bank’s deduction limit as reported in item 11.b is zero, the custodial bank may leave
item 11.a blank.

If the reporting institution does not meet the custodial bank definition, it should answer “No” to
item 11 and it should not complete Schedule RC-O, items 11.a and 11.b.
A custodial bank, as defined in Section 327.5(c)(1) of the FDIC’s regulations, is an insured
depository institution that had:
(1) “Fiduciary and custody and safekeeping assets” (the sum of item 10, columns A and B,
plus item 11, column B, in Schedule RC-T – Fiduciary and Related Services) of
$50 billion or more as of the end of the previous calendar year, or

Custodial bank deduction. An institution that meets the definition of a custodial bank is
eligible to have the FDIC deduct certain assets from its assessment base, subject to the limit
reported in Schedule RC-O, item 11.b. If a custodial bank’s deduction limit as reported in
Schedule RC O, item 11.b, is zero, the custodial bank may leave this item 11.a blank.

(2) Income from fiduciary activities (Schedule RI, item 5.a) that was more than 50 percent of
its total revenue (interest income plus noninterest income, which is the sum of items 1.h
and 5.m of Schedule RI) during the previous calendar year.

Report in this item on an unconsolidated single FDIC certificate number basis the custodial
bank deduction, which equals average qualifying low-risk liquid assets.1 Qualifying low-risk
liquid assets are determined without regard to the maturity of the assets. Average qualifying
low-risk liquid assets equals the sum of the following amounts, all on an unconsolidated
single FDIC certificate number basis:

D

R

(1) The average amount of cash and balances due from depository institutions with a
standardized approach risk weight for risk-based capital purposes of zero percent
(as defined for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 1, column C) plus 50 percent of the average
amount of cash and balances due from depository institutions with a standardized
approach risk weight of 20 percent (as defined for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 1,
column G);
(2) The average amount of held-to-maturity securities with a standardized approach risk
weight for risk-based capital purposes of zero percent (as defined for Schedule RC-R,
Part II, item 2.a, column C) plus 50 percent of the average amount of held-to-maturity
securities with a standardized approach risk weight of 20 percent (as defined for
Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.a, column G);
(3) The average amount of available-for-sale securities with a standardized approach risk
weight for risk-based capital purposes of zero percent (as defined for Schedule RC-R,
Part II, item 2.b, column C) plus 50 percent of the average amount of available-for-sale
securities with a standardized approach risk weight of 20 percent (as defined for
Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column G);
(4) The average amount of federal funds sold with a standardized approach risk weight for
risk-based capital purposes of zero percent (as defined for Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 3.a, column C) plus 50 percent of the average amount of federal funds sold with a
standardized approach risk weight of 20 percent (as defined for Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 3.a, column G);
(5) The average amount of securities purchased under agreements to resell (as defined for
Schedule RC, item 3.b) that would qualify for a standardized approach risk weight for
risk-based capital purposes of zero percent plus 50 percent of the average amount of
securities purchased under agreements to resell (as defined for Schedule RC, item 3.b)
that would qualify for a standardized approach risk weight of 2 percent, 4 percent, or
20 percent; and

An institution that has a community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework election in effect as of the quarter-end
report date, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a (and further described in the General Instructions for
Schedule RC-R, Part I) that meets the definition of a custodial bank is not required to separately report its riskweighted assets in Schedule RC-R, Part II, in order to use the deduction.

(6) Fifty percent of the average amount of balances due from depository institutions, held-tomaturity securities, available-for-sale securities, federal funds sold, and securities
purchased under agreements to resell (as defined for Schedule RC, items 1, 2.a, 2.b, 3.a,
and 3.b, respectively) that qualify as on-balance sheet securitization exposures (as
defined for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9, column A) and have a standardized approach
risk weight for risk-based capital purposes of exactly 20 percent.

Custodial bank deduction limit. An institution that meets the definition of a custodial bank
is eligible to have the FDIC deduct certain assets from its assessment base, subject to a limit.
Report in this item on an unconsolidated single FDIC certificate number basis the custodial
bank deduction limit, which equals the average amount of the institution’s transaction account
deposit liabilities identified by the institution as being directly linked to a fiduciary, custodial, or
safekeeping account reported in Schedule RC-T – Fiduciary and Related Services. The
titling of a transaction account or specific references in the deposit account documents
should clearly demonstrate the link between the transaction account and a fiduciary,
custodial, or safekeeping account.

T

These averages should be calculated on a daily or weekly basis consistent with the custodial
bank’s calculation of its average consolidated total assets in Schedule RC-O, item 4 (and as
reported in Schedule RC-O, item 4.a).

R

For deposits in domestic offices, the term “transaction account” is defined in Federal Reserve
Regulation D and in the Glossary entry for “deposits” and such deposits are reported in
Schedule RC-E, (part I,) item 7, column A. In general, a transaction account is a deposit or
account from which the depositor or account holder is permitted to make transfers or
withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments, payment orders of withdrawal,
telephone transfers, or other similar devices for the purpose of making payments or transfers
to third persons or others or from which the depositor may make third party payments at an
automated teller machine, a remote service unit, or another electronic device, including by
debit card. For purposes of reporting the custodial bank deduction limit in this item, a
custodial bank with deposits in foreign offices should include foreign office deposit liabilities
(reported in Schedule RC-E, part II) with the characteristics of a transaction account that are
linked to a fiduciary, custody, or safekeeping account reported in Schedule RC-T – Fiduciary
and Related Services.
Exclude from this item escrow accounts, Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts, and other trust
and custody-related deposit accounts related to commercial bank services, or otherwise
offered outside a custodial bank’s fiduciary business unit or another distinct business unit
devoted to institutional custodial services. Also exclude all nontransaction account deposit
liabilities (i.e., savings and time deposits).

D

This average should be calculated on a daily or weekly basis consistent with the custodial
bank’s calculation of its average consolidated total assets in Schedule RC-O, item 4 (and as
reported in Schedule RC-O, item 4.a).

General Instructions for Schedule RC-O, Memorandum items 6 through 18
Memorandum items 6 through 18 are applicable only to large institutions and/or highly complex
institutions as defined below. Amounts reported in Memorandum items 6 through 9, 14, 15, and 18 will
not be made available to the public on an individual institution basis. Large institutions and highly
complex institutions should complete Memorandum items 6 through 18, as appropriate, on a fully
consolidated basis. Thus, when a large institution or highly complex institution owns another FDICinsured institution as a subsidiary, it should complete Memorandum items 6 through 18, as appropriate,
on a fully consolidated basis.

T

According to Section 327.8(f) of the FDIC’s regulations, a large institution is an FDIC-insured bank or
savings association that reported total assets of $10 billion or more as of December 31, 2006, that does
not meet the definition of a highly complex institution. After December 31, 2006, if a bank or savings
association classified as a small institution in accordance with Section 327.8(e) of the FDIC’s regulations
reports total assets of $10 billion or more for four consecutive quarters, the bank or savings association
will be classified as a large institution beginning the following quarter. In the Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income, an FDIC-insured depository institution’s total assets are reported in Schedule RC,
item 12.

An institution that has a community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework election in effect as of the
quarter-end report date, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a (and further described in the
General Instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I), shall be classified as a small institution for deposit
insurance assessments, even if that institution otherwise would be classified as a large institution.1

An institution that has a CBLR framework election in effect as of the quarter-end report date that meets the
definition of an established depository institution under 12 CFR 327.8(k), generally one that has been federally
insured for at least five years, will be assessed as an established small institution. An institution that has a CBLR
framework election in effect as of the quarter-end report date that has been federally insured for less than five years
will be assessed as a new small institution under 12 CFR 327.8(w). An institution that has a CBLR framework
election in effect as of the quarter-end report date with assets between $5 and $10 billion cannot request to be
treated as a large institution for deposit insurance assessments under 12 CFR 327.16(f).

Memoranda
General Instructions for Schedule RC-O, Memorandum items 6 through 18 (cont.)
According to Section 327.8(g) of the FDIC’s regulations, a highly complex institution is an FDIC-insured
bank or savings association (excluding a credit card bank1) that:

T

(1) Has had $50 billion or more in total assets for at least four consecutive quarters that either is
controlled by a U.S. parent holding company that has had $500 billion or more in total assets for four
consecutive quarters, or is controlled by one or more intermediate U.S. parent holding companies that
are controlled by a U.S. holding company that has had $500 billion or more in total assets for four
consecutive quarters; or

AF

(2) Is a processing bank or trust company that has had $10 billion or more in total assets for at least four
consecutive quarters. According to Section 327.8(s) of the FDIC’s regulations, a processing bank or
trust company is “an institution whose last three years’ non-lending interest income, fiduciary
revenues, and investment banking fees, combined, exceed 50 percent of total revenues (and its last
three years fiduciary revenues are non-zero), and whose total fiduciary assets total $500 billion or
more.”

If, after December 31, 2010, a bank or savings association classified as a highly complex institution falls
below $50 billion in total assets for four consecutive quarters, or its parent company or companies fall
below $500 billion in total assets for four consecutive quarters, or a processing bank or trust company
falls below $10 billion in total assets for four consecutive quarters, the FDIC will reclassify the bank or
savings association as a large institution or a small institution, as appropriate,2 beginning the quarter after
the fourth consecutive quarter.

R

Amounts Guaranteed or Insured by the U.S. Government, its Agencies, or its Government-Sponsored
Agencies – The instructions for Schedule RC-O, Memorandum items 6, 11, and 16 refer to amounts
recoverable from, or guaranteed or insured by, the U.S. government, its agencies, or its governmentsponsored agencies under guarantee or insurance provisions. Examples include guarantees or
insurance (or reinsurance) provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Housing
Administration, the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Agriculture Rural
Development Loan Program, and the Department of Education for individual loans as well as coverage
provided by the FDIC under loss-sharing agreements. For loan securitizations and securities, examples
include those guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National
Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) as
well as SBA Guaranteed Loan Pool Certificates and securities covered by FDIC loss-sharing agreements.
However, if an institution holds securities backed by mortgages it has transferred to Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac with recourse or other transferor-provided credit enhancements, these securities should not
be considered guaranteed to the extent of the institution’s maximum contractual credit exposure arising
from the credit enhancements.

D

Amounts Guaranteed or Insured by the U.S. Government – The instructions for Schedule RC-O,
Memorandum items 7 through 10, 13, and 18 refer to the maximum amounts recoverable from the U.S.
Government. Amounts recoverable from the U.S. government do not include amounts recoverable from
government-sponsored agencies (also known as government-sponsored enterprises) including the
Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac), the Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Farm Credit System.

As defined in Section 327.8(t) of the FDIC’s regulations, a credit card bank is “a bank for which credit card
receivables plus securitized receivables exceed 50 percent of assets plus securitized receivables.”
2 An institution that has a community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework election in effect as of the quarter-end
report date, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a (and further described in the General Instructions for
Schedule RC-R, Part I), shall be classified as a small institution, even if that institution otherwise would be classified
as a large institution.

T

Transition Provisions: Transition provisions apply to the minimum regulatory capital ratios, the capital
conservation buffer, the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions, and non-qualifying capital
instruments. For example, transition provisions for the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions
specify that certain items that were deducted from tier 1 capital previously will be deducted from common
equity tier 1 capital under the regulatory capital rules, with the amount of the deduction changing each
calendar year until the transition period ends. For some regulatory capital deductions and adjustments,
the non-deducted portion of the item is either risk-weighted for the remainder of the transition period or
deducted from additional tier 1 capital, as described in the instructions for the applicable items below.
NOTE: For institutions that are not advanced approaches institutions (as described in footnote 1), the
transition provisions applicable during 2017 under the banking agencies’ regulatory capital rules have
been extended indefinitely for certain regulatory capital deductions and risk weights as well as certain
minority interest requirements. The Schedule RC-R instructions reflect the extension of the regulatory
capital treatment of these capital deductions, risk weights, and minority interest requirements applicable
to non-advanced approaches institutions during 2017.
In the FFIEC 031, Schedule RC-R, Part I, has two columns for items 11 through 19. Except as noted in
the following sentence, column A is to be completed by non-advanced approaches institutions and
column B is to be completed by advanced approaches institutions. 1 On the FFIEC 031 for the March 31,
2020, report date only, non-advanced approaches institutions that elect to wait to adopt the capital
simplifications rule on April 1, 2020, should complete column B for items 11 through 19 and should not
complete column A for these items.
In the FFIEC 041, Schedule RC-R, Part I, has only one column for items 11 through 19 because
advanced approaches institutions are required to complete the FFIEC 031.
Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework:

R

Opting into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework:

A qualifying institution may opt into the CBLR framework. A qualifying institution opts into and out of the
framework through its reporting in Call Report Schedule RC-R. A qualifying institution that opts into the
CBLR framework (CBLR electing institution) must complete Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 1 through 38
and can make that election on Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a. A qualifying institution can opt out of the
CBLR framework by completing Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II, excluding Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32
through 38.

D

In general, an institution may qualify for the CBLR framework if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9
percent (as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31); has less than $10 billion in total consolidated
assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 32); is not an advanced approaches institution; has total trading
assets and trading liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I,
item 33); and has total off-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives other than sold credit
derivatives and unconditionally cancelable commitments) of 25 percent or less of total consolidated

1

An advanced approaches institution as defined in the federal supervisor’s regulatory capital rules is (i) a subsidiary
of a global systemically important bank holding company, as identified pursuant to 12 CFR 217.402; (ii) a Category II
institution; (iii) a subsidiary of a depository institution that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12
CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part 217 (Board), or 12 CFR part 324 (FDIC) to calculate its risk-based capital
requirements; (iv) a subsidiary of a bank holding company or savings and loan holding company that uses the
advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its risk-based capital requirements; or
(v) an institution that elects to use the advanced approaches to calculate its risk-based capital requirements.

assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 34). However, the primary federal supervisory authority may disallow
an otherwise qualifying institution’s use of the CBLR framework based on the supervisory authority’s
evaluation of the risk profile of the institution.

D

R

AF

T

A qualifying institution with a leverage ratio that exceeds 9 percent and opts into the CBLR framework
shall be considered to have met: (i) the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements
in the agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements to be considered well capitalized under the
agencies’ prompt corrective action (PCA) framework (in the case of insured depository institutions); and
(iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements. 2

Ceasing to have a CBLR greater than 9 percent or failing to meet any of the qualifying criteria:
A qualifying institution that temporarily fails to meet any of the qualifying criteria, including the greater
than 9 percent leverage ratio requirement, generally would still be deemed well-capitalized so long as the
institution maintains a leverage ratio greater than 8 percent. At the end of the grace period (see below),
the institution must meet all qualifying criteria to remain in the community bank leverage ratio framework
or otherwise must apply and report under the generally applicable rule. Similarly, an institution with a
leverage ratio of 8 percent or less is not eligible for the grace period and must comply with the generally
applicable rule, i.e., for the calendar quarter in which the institution reports a leverage ratio of 8 percent or
less, by completing all of Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II, excluding Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32
through 38.

AF

T

Under the CBLR framework, the grace period will begin as of the end of the calendar quarter in which the
CBLR electing institution ceases to satisfy any of the qualifying criteria and will end after two consecutive
calendar quarters. For example, if the CBLR electing institution no longer meets one of the qualifying
criteria as of February 15, and still does not meet the criteria as of the end of that quarter, the grace
period for such an institution will begin as of the end of the quarter ending March 31. The institution may
continue to use the community bank leverage ratio framework as of June 30, but will need to comply fully
with the generally applicable rule (including the associated reporting requirements) as of September 30,
unless the institution once again meets all qualifying criteria of the CBLR framework, including a leverage
ratio of greater than 9 percent, before that time.

Advanced approaches institutions: 3 Advanced approaches institutions may use the amounts reported
in Schedule RC-R, Part I, to complete the FFIEC 101, Schedule A, as applicable. As described in the
General Instructions for the FFIEC 101, an institution must begin reporting on the FFIEC 101,
Schedule A, except for a few specific line items, at the end of the quarter after the quarter in which the
institution triggers one of the threshold criteria for applying the advanced approaches rule or elects to use
the advanced approaches rule (an opt-in institution), 4 and it must begin reporting data on the remaining
schedules of the FFIEC 101 at the end of the first quarter in which it has begun its parallel run period.
Advanced approaches institutions must continue to file Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital, as well as the
FFIEC 101.

R

An institution that is subject to the advanced approaches rule remains subject to the rule unless its
primary federal supervisor determines in writing that application of the rule is not appropriate in light of the
institution’s asset size, level of complexity, risk profile, or scope of operations.

3

D

An advanced approaches institution as defined in the federal supervisor’s regulatory capital rules (i) has
consolidated total assets (excluding assets held by an insurance underwriting subsidiary) on its most recent year-end
regulatory report equal to $250 billion or more; (ii) has consolidated total on-balance sheet foreign exposure on its
most recent year-end regulatory report equal to $10 billion or more (excluding exposures held by an insurance
underwriting subsidiary), as calculated in accordance with FFIEC 009; (iii) is a subsidiary of a depository institution
that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part 217 (Board), or
12 CFR part 324 (FDIC) to calculate its total risk-weighted assets; (iv) is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or
savings and loan holding company that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its
total risk-weighted assets; or (v) elects to use the advanced approaches to calculate its total risk-weighted assets.
As described in section 121 of the regulatory capital rules, an institution must adopt a written implementation plan no
later than 6 months after the institution meets the criteria above and work with its primary federal supervisor on
implementing the parallel run process.

4 An institution is deemed to have elected to use the advanced approaches rule on the date that its primary federal
supervisor receives from the institution a board-approved implementation plan pursuant to section 121(b)(2) of the
regulatory capital rules. After that date, in addition to being required to report on the FFIEC 101, Schedule A, the
institution may no longer apply the AOCI opt-out election in section 22(b)(2) of the regulatory capital rules and it
becomes subject to the supplementary leverage ratio in section 10(c)(4) of the rules and its associated transition
provisions.

after adopting CECL (i.e., January 1, 2020), the CECL electing institution has $1.2 million
in
allowances for credit losses (ACL), which also equals $1.2 million of adjusted allowances
for credit losses (AACL), as defined in the regulatory capital rules.
The CECL electing institution recognizes the effect of the adoption of CECL as of
January 1, 2020, by recording an increase in its ACL of $200,000 (credit), with an
offsetting increase in temporary difference deferred tax assets (DTAs) of $42,000 (debit)
and a reduction in beginning retained earnings of $158,000 (debit).
For each of the quarterly reporting periods in year 1 of the transition period (i.e., 2020),
the CECL electing institution increases both retained earnings and average total
consolidated assets by $118,500 ($158,000 x 75 percent), decreases temporary
difference DTAs by $31,500 ($42,000 x 75 percent), and decreases AACL by $150,000

institution have a CECL transition election in effect as of the quarter-end report date?
An institution may make a one-time election to use the CECL transition provision, as
described in section 301 of the regulatory capital rules. Such an institution is required to
begin applying the CECL transition provision as of the institution’s CECL adoption date. An
institution must indicate its election to use the CECL transition provision beginning in the
quarter that it first reports its credit loss allowances in the Call Report as measured under
CECL. An institution that does not elect to use the CECL transition provision in the quarter
that it first reports its credit loss allowances in the Call Report as measured under CECL
would not be permitted to make an election in subsequent reporting periods. For example,
an institution that adopts CECL as of January 1, 2020, and does not elect to use the CECL
transition provision in its Call Report for the March 31, 2020, report date would not be
permitted to use the CECL transition provision in any subsequent reporting period.

(i) All institutions, except advanced approaches institutions
In order to complete this item 4, institutions need to complete items 6 to 10 of Schedule
RC-R, Part I. Non-advanced approaches institutions are able to include common equity tier 1
minority interest up to 10 percent of the parent banking organization’s common equity tier 1
capital. The 10 percent limitation is measured before the inclusion of any minority interest
and after the deductions from and adjustments to the regulatory capital of the parent banking
organization described in sections 22(a) and (b) of the regulatory capital rules.

Transition provisions for surplus minority interest or non-qualifying minority interest:
a. Surplus minority interest:

T

An institution may include in common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital, or total capital the percentage of
the common equity tier 1 minority interest, tier 1 minority interest and total capital minority interest
outstanding as of January 1, 2014, that exceeds any common equity tier 1 minority interest, tier 1
minority interest or total capital minority interest includable under section 21 of the regulatory capital
rules (surplus minority interest)
as follows:

AF

(i) Determine the amounts of outstanding surplus minority interest (for the case of common
equity tier 1, tier 1, and total capital).
(ii) For advanced approaches institutions, multiply the amounts in (i) by the appropriate
percentage in Table 2 below. For non-advanced approaches institutions, multiply the
amounts in (i) by 20 percent.
(iii) Include the amounts in (ii) in the corresponding line items (that is, Schedule RC-R,
item 4, item 22, or item 29).

In the worksheet calculation above, the transition provisions for surplus minority interest
would apply at step (7). Specifically, if the institution has $3 of surplus common equity tier 1
minority interest of the subsidiary as of January 1, 2014, it may include $1.80 (that is, $3
multiplied by 60%) in Schedule RC-R, item 4, during calendar year 2015; $1.20 during
calendar year 2016; $0.60 during calendar year 2017; $0 starting on January 1, 2018, for an
advanced approaches institution; and $0.60 starting on January 1, 2018, for a non-advanced
approaches institution.
b. Non-qualifying minority interest:

R

An institution may include in tier 1 capital or total capital the percentage of the tier 1 minority
interest and total capital minority interest outstanding as of January 1, 2014, that does not
meet the criteria for additional tier 1 or tier 2 capital instruments in section 20 of the regulatory
capital rules (non-qualifying minority interest). The institution must phase-out non-qualifying
minority interest in accordance with Table 2, using the following steps for each subsidiary:

D

(i) Determine the amounts of the outstanding non-qualifying minority interest (in the form of
additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital).
(ii) Multiply the amounts in (i) by the appropriate percentage in Table 2 below.
(iii) Include the amounts in (ii) in the corresponding item (that is, Schedule RC-R, item 22 or
item 29).
For example, if an institution has $10 of non-qualifying minority interest that previously
qualified as tier 1 capital, it may include $6 (that is, $10 multiplied by 60%) during calendar
year 2015, $4 during calendar year 2016, $2 during calendar year 2017, and $0 starting on
January 1, 2018.

Note 1: As described in section 22(b) of the regulatory capital rules, regulatory adjustments to common
equity tier 1 capital must be made net of associated deferred tax effects.

R

Note 2: As described in section 22(e) of the regulatory capital rules, netting of deferred tax liabilities
(DTLs) against assets that are subject to deduction is permitted if the following conditions are met:
(i) The DTL is associated with the asset;
(ii) The DTL would be extinguished if the associated asset becomes impaired or is derecognized under
GAAP; and
(iii) A DTL can only be netted against a single asset.

D

The amount of deferred tax assets (DTAs) that arise from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards,
net of any related valuation allowances, and of DTAs arising from temporary differences that the
institution could not realize through net operating loss carrybacks, net of any related valuation
allowances, may be offset by DTLs (that have not been netted against assets subject to deduction)
subject to the following conditions:

(i) Only the DTAs and DTLs that relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority and that are
eligible for offsetting by that authority may be offset for purposes of this deduction.
(ii) The amount of DTLs that the institution nets against DTAs that arise from net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances, and against DTAs arising from
temporary differences that the institution could not realize through net operating loss carrybacks, net
of any related valuation allowances, must be allocated in proportion to the amount of DTAs that arise
from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards (net of any related valuation allowances, but
before any offsetting of DTLs) and of DTAs arising from temporary differences that the institution
could not realize through net operating loss carrybacks (net of any related valuation allowances, but
before any offsetting of DTLs), respectively.

LESS: Goodwill net of associated deferred tax liabilities (DTLs). Report the amount of
goodwill included in Schedule RC-M, item 2.b.
However, if the institution has a DTL that is specifically related to goodwill that it chooses to
net against the goodwill, the amount of disallowed goodwill to be reported in this item should
be reduced by the amount of the associated DTL.

R

If an advanced approaches institution has significant investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock, the institution should report
in this item goodwill embedded in the valuation of a significant investment in the capital of an
unconsolidated financial institution in the form of common stock (embedded goodwill). Such
deduction of embedded goodwill would apply to investments accounted for under the equity
method. Under GAAP, if there is a difference between the initial cost basis of the investment
and the amount of underlying equity in the net assets of the investee, the resulting difference
should be accounted for as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary (which may include
imputed goodwill).
There are no transition provisions for this item.

LESS: Intangible assets (other than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)),
net of associated DTLs. Report all intangible assets (other than goodwill and MSAs)
included in Schedule RC-M, item 2.c, that do not qualify for inclusion in common equity tier 1
capital based on the regulatory capital rules of the institution’s primary federal supervisor.
Generally, all purchased credit card relationships (PCCRs), nonmortgage servicing assets,
and all other intangibles reported in Schedule RC-M, item 2.c, do not qualify for inclusion in
common equity tier 1 capital and should be included in this item.

However, if the institution has a DTL that is specifically related to an intangible asset (other
than goodwill and MSAs) that it chooses to net against the intangible asset for regulatory
capital purposes, the amount of disallowed intangibles to be reported in this item should be
reduced by the amount of the associated DTL. Furthermore, a DTL that the institution
chooses to net against the related intangible reported in this item may not also be netted
against DTAs that arise from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any
related valuation allowances, and DTAs that arise from temporary differences, net of any
related valuation allowances, for regulatory capital purposes.

Example and a worksheet calculation:

Assumptions:
• Assume that an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments in the
capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, of which $100 is in common shares.
For this example, all of the $100 in common shares is in the common stock of a
publicly traded financial institution.
• Assume the amount reported on Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 5 (common, “Common
equity tier 1 capital before adjustments and deductions (sum of items 1 through 4)),,”
is $1,000.
• Assume the amounts reported on Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 6 through 9.f, are all
$0.
Determine the aggregate amount of non-significant
investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions (including in the form of common stock, additional
tier 1, and tier 2 capital).
Determine the amount of non-significant investments in the
capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of
common stock.
Subtract from Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 5, the amounts in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Multiply the amount in step (3) by 10%. percent. This is “the
ten percent threshold for non-significant investments.”
If (1) is greater than (4), subtract (4) from (1) and multiply the
result by the ratio of (2) divided by (1). Report this amount in

the investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions qualify.
As mentioned above, the institution can elect which investments it must
deduct and which it must risk weight. The institution’s election and the
component of capital for which the underlying instrument would qualify will
determine if the instrument will be deducted and reported in item 13 on the
FFIEC 041 or item 13.a on the FFIEC 031, as applicable, or be deducted and

If the institution included embedded goodwill in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 6, to
avoid double counting, the institution may net such embedded goodwill already
deducted against the exposure amount of the investment. For example, if an

Since the community bank leverage ratio framework does not have a total capital

that would qualify as tier 2 capital of the CBLR electing institution under the
generally applicable rule (tier 2 qualifying investments), and the institution’s total

• Significant investments in the common shares of unconsolidated financial institutions,
net of associated DTLs = $15
• MSAs, net of associated DTLs = $7

• Subsidiary’s tier 1 capital: $110, which is composed of subsidiary’s common equity tier 1
capital $80 and additional tier 1 capital of $30.
• Subsidiary’s common equity tier 1 owned by minority shareholders: $24.

Note: As indicated, this example built onto the example under the instructions for item 4,
where the subsidiary was a depository institution, and where its common equity tier 1 minority
interest was includable in common equity tier 1 capital. However, if this were a subsidiary
other than a depository institution, none of its minority interest arising from common equity
tier 1 would have been includable in common equity tier 1 capital. If the subsidiary in the
example were not a depository institution, the full calculated amount of minority interest
($30.14) would be includable in additional tier 1 capital of the reporting institution since none
of it would have been includable in common equity tier 1 capital.

Transition provisions: If an institution has non-qualifying minority interest and/or surplus
minority interest, it will report the amount includable in additional tier 1 capital in this item 22.

instructions for Schedule RC-R, item 4, after taking into consideration (that is, excluding) any
amount of surplus common equity tier 1 minority interest (from step 7 of the worksheet in

unconsolidated financial institutions qualifies. The institution can elect which
investments it must deduct and which it must risk weight. The institution’s election
and the component of capital for which the underlying instrument would qualify will
determine if the instrument will be deducted and reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I,
item 13 on the FFIEC 041, item 13.a on the FFIEC 031.a, as applicable; or be
deducted and reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 24 or 43.

See the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 13 on the FFIEC 041; item 13.a on
the FFIEC 031, for an example of how to deduct amounts of investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions that exceed the 25 percent threshold.

R

Since the community bank leverage ratio framework does not have a total capital
requirement, a CBLR electing institution is neither required to calculate tier 2 capital nor
make any deductions that would have been taken from tier 2 capital under the generally
applicable rule. Therefore, if a CBLR electing institution has investments in the capital
instruments of an unconsolidated financial institution that would qualify as tier 2 capital of
the CBLR electing institution under the generally applicable rule (tier 2 qualifying
investments), and the institution’s total investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions exceed the threshold for deduction, the institution is not required to
deduct the tier 2 qualifying investments.

D

(4) Other adjustments and deductions. Include adjustments and deductions applied to
additional tier 1 capital due to insufficient tier 2 capital to cover deductions (related to

(3) Non-significant investments in additional tier 1 capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions that exceed the 10 percent threshold for non-significant investments.
As noted in the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 11 above, an institution has a
non-significant investment in the capital of an unconsolidated financial institution if it owns
10 percent or less of the issued and outstanding common shares of that institution.
Calculate this amount as follows:

(1) Determine the aggregate amount of non-significant investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock, additional tier 1
capital, and tier 2 capital.
(2) Determine the amount of non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions in the form of additional tier 1 capital.
(3) If the amount in (1) is greater than the ten percent threshold for non-significant
investments (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 11, step (4)), then multiply the difference by
the ratio of (2) over (1). Report this product in this item 24.
(4) If the amount in (1) is less than the 10 percent threshold for non-significant
investments, report zero.

R

For example, assume an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments
(step 1), including $60 in the form of additional tier 1 capital (step 2), and its ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments is $100 (as calculated in step 4 of item 11).
Since the aggregate amount of non-significant investments exceeds the ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments by $100 ($200-$100), the institution would
multiply $100 by the ratio of 60/200 (step 3). Thus, the institution would need to deduct
$30 from its additional tier 1 capital.

D

Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in the instructions for
Schedule RC-R, item 11 (that is, for advanced approaches institutions, use Table 5 in the
instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 11; for non-advanced approaches

portion of the investments not deducted).

the form of common stock to be deducted from additional tier 1 capital. Report the
total amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of additional tier 1 capital.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in the instructions for
Schedule RC-R, item 11 (that is, for advanced approaches institutions, use Table 5 in the

If the reporting institution sponsors a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan,
such as a pension plan or health care plan, accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715,
Compensation-Retirement Benefits (formerly FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’

adjustment also should take into account subsequent amortization of these amounts from
AOCI into earnings. The intent of the adjustment reported in this item (together with the
amount reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 9.d) is to reverse the effects on AOCI of
applying ASC Topic 715 for regulatory capital purposes. Specifically, assets recognized or

Does your institution have a community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework
election in effect as of the quarter-end report date?
Enter “1” for Yes or enter “0” for No. Refer to the qualifying criteria for using the CBLR
framework, which are explained in Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32 through 34, below.

Qualifying Criteria and Other Information for CBLR Institutions

Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32 through 38, are to be completed only by qualifying institutions that have
elected to adopt the community bank leverage ratio framework or are within the grace period as of the
quarter-end report date. (For further information on the grace period, see the General Instructions for
Part I.) If your institution entered “1” in item 31.a, then items 32 through 38 must be completed.
Institutions that do not qualify or have not adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework as of the
quarter-end report date should leave items 32 through 38 blank and go to item 39. A qualifying institution
can opt out of the community bank leverage ratio framework by completing Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II,
excluding Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32 through 38.

Credit-enhancing representations and warranties: Include the off-balance sheet
amount of exposures transferred with credit-enhancing representations and warranties as
defined in §.2 of the regulatory capital rule. Credit-enhancing representations and
warranties obligate an institution “to protect another party from losses arising from the
credit risk of the underlying exposures” and “include provisions to protect a party from
losses resulting from the default or nonperformance of the counterparties of the
underlying exposures or from an insufficiency in the value of the collateral backing the
underlying exposures.” Thus, when loans or other assets are sold “with recourse” and
the recourse arrangement provides protection from losses as described in the preceding
definition, the recourse arrangement constitutes a credit-enhancing representation and
warranty.

the FDIC's Rules and Regulations, and 12 CFR Part 28, Subpart C (OCC)), and in any
guidelines, letters, or instructions issued by the agencies. The entire amount of the ATRR
equals the ATRR related to loans and leases held for investment (which is reported in
Schedule RI-B, Part II, Memorandum item 1) plus the ATRR for assets other than loans and
leases held for investment.

NOTE: Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 38.a through 38.c, should be completed only by institutions that
have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13), which governs the
accounting for credit losses. Institutions that have not adopted ASU 2016-13 should leave items 38.a
through 38.c blank.
Amount of allowances for credit losses on purchased credit-deteriorated assets.
ASU 2016-13 introduces the concept of purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets as a
replacement for purchased credit-impaired (PCI) assets. The PCD asset definition covers a
broader range of assets than the PCI asset definition. As defined in ASU 2016-13,
“purchased credit-deteriorated assets” are acquired individual financial assets (or acquired
groups of financial assets with similar risk characteristics) accounted for in accordance with
ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments‒Credit Losses, that, as of the date of acquisition, have
experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as
determined by the acquiring institution’s assessment.

D

38

ASU 2016-13 requires institutions to estimate and record a credit loss allowance for a PCD
asset at the time of purchase. The credit loss allowance is then added to the purchase price
to determine the amortized cost basis of the asset for financial reporting purposes.
Post-acquisition increases in credit loss allowances on PCD assets will be established
through a charge to earnings. This accounting treatment for PCD assets is different from the
current treatment of PCI assets, for which institutions are not permitted to estimate and
recognize credit loss allowances at the time of purchase. Rather, in general, credit loss
allowances for PCI assets are estimated subsequent to the purchase only if there is
deterioration in the expected cash flows from the assets.

Report the aggregate amount of total capital minority interest, calculated as described below
and in section 21 of the regulatory capital rules. Non-advanced approaches institutions are
able to include total capital minority interest up to 10 percent of the parent banking
organization’s total capital. The 10 percent limitation is measured before the inclusion of any
minority interest and after the deductions from and adjustments to the regulatory capital of
the parent banking organization described in sections 22(a) and (b) of the capital rule. Total
capital minority interest is the portion of total capital in a reporting institution’s subsidiary not
attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent institution. Note that a reporting institution may
only include total capital minority interest if the capital instruments issued by the subsidiary
meet all of the criteria for capital (qualifying capital instruments).

the instructions for Schedule RC-R, item 4, after taking into consideration (that is, excluding)
any amount of surplus tier 1 minority interest (from step 7 of the worksheet in item 22). In the

In addition, advanced approaches institutions with insufficient tier 2 capital for deductions
will make the following adjustments: an advanced approaches institution will make
deductions on this schedule under the generally applicable rules that apply to all institutions.
It will use FFIEC 101, Schedule A, to calculate its capital requirements under the advanced
approaches. Therefore, in the case of an advanced approaches institution with insufficient
tier 2 capital to make tier 2 deductions, it will use the corresponding deduction approach and
the generally applicable rules to take excess tier 2 deductions from additional tier 1 capital
in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 24, and if necessary from common equity tier 1 capital in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 17. It will use the advanced approaches rules to take deductions
on the FFIEC 101 form.

For example, assume tier 2 capital is $100 under the advanced approaches and $98 under
the generally applicable rules (due to the difference between the amount of eligible credit
reserves includable in tier 2 capital under the advanced approaches, and the amount of the
allowance for loan and lease losses or adjusted allowances for credit losses, as applicable,
includable in tier 2 capital under the standardized approach). If the required deduction from
tier 2 capital is $110, then the advanced approaches institution would add $10 to the required
additional tier 1 capital deductions (on FFIEC 101, Schedule A, item 42, and FFIEC 101,
Schedule A, item 27, if necessary), and would add $12 to its required additional tier 1 capital
deductions for the calculation of the standardized approach regulatory capital ratios in this
schedule (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 24, and Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 17, if necessary).

over (1). Report this product in this item.
(4) If (1) is less than the ten percent threshold for non-significant investments, enter zero.

D

For example, assume an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments
(step 1), including $40 in the form of tier 2 capital (step 2), and its ten percent threshold
for non-significant investments is $100 (as calculated in Schedule RC-R, item 11, step 4).
Since the aggregate amount of non-significant investments exceed the ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments by $100 ($200-$100), the institution would
multiply $100 by the ratio of 40/200 (step 3). Thus, the institution would need to deduct
$20 from its tier 2 capital.

An institution that has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, which
governs the accounting for credit losses and introduces the current expected credit losses
methodology (CECL), and has elected to apply the CECL transition provision (electing
institution) should increase its average total consolidated assets by its applicable CECL
transitional amount, in accordance with section 301(c)(1)(iv) of the regulatory capital rules.
For example, an electing institution should increase its average total consolidated assets as
reported on the Call Report for purposes of the leverage ratio by 75 percent of its CECL
transitional amount during the first year of the transition period, 50 percent of its CECL
transitional amount during the second year of the transition period, and 25 percent of its
CECL transitional amount during the third year of the transition period (see Table X in the
instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 2).

Defined benefit postretirement plans:

D

If the reporting institution sponsors a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan,
such as a pension plan or health care plan, accounted for in accordance with
ASC Subtopic 715-20, Compensation-Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans-General
(formerly FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans”), the institution should adjust total assets for leverage ratio
purposes for any amounts included in Schedule RC, item 26.b, “Accumulated other
comprehensive income” (AOCI), affecting assets as a result of the initial and subsequent
application of the funded status and measurement date provisions of ASC Subtopic 715-20.
The adjustment also should take into account subsequent amortization of these amounts
from AOCI into earnings. The intent of the adjustment reported in this item (together with the
amount reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 9.d) is to reverse the effects on AOCI of
applying ASC Subtopic 715-20 for regulatory capital purposes. Specifically, assets
recognized or derecognized as an adjustment to AOCI as part of the incremental effect of
applying ASC Subtopic 715-20 should be reported as an adjustment to total assets for
leverage ratio purposes. For example, the derecognition of an asset recorded as an offset to

Available-for-sale debt securities and available-for-sale equity securities are reflected at
amortized cost and at the lower of cost or fair value, respectively, when calculating average
total consolidated assets for Schedule RC-K, item 9. Therefore, include in this item as
deductions from (additions to) assets for leverage ratio purposes the amounts needed to
adjust (i) the quarterly average for available-for-sale debt securities included in
Schedule RC-K, item 9, from an average based on amortized cost to an average based on
fair value, and (ii) the quarterly average for available-for-sale equity securities included in
Schedule RC-K, item 9, from an average based on the lower of cost or fair value to an
average based on fair value. If the deferred tax effects of any net unrealized gains (losses)
on available-for-sale debt securities were excluded from the determination of average total
consolidated assets for Schedule RC-K, item 9, also include in this item as a deduction from
(addition to) assets for leverage ratio purposes the quarterly average amount necessary to
reverse the effect of this exclusion on the quarterly average amount of net deferred tax
assets included in Schedule RC-K, item 9.

in the financial subsidiary accounted for under the equity method of accounting that is
included in the bank’s average total assets reported in Schedule RC-K, item 9.
If a financial subsidiary is consolidated into the bank for purposes of the bank’s balance
sheet, include in this item 38 as a deduction from the bank’s average total assets (as
reported in Schedule RC-R, item 36) the quarterly average of the assets of the subsidiary
that have been included in the bank’s consolidated average total assets reported in
Schedule RC-K, item 9; minus any deductions from common equity tier 1 capital and
additional tier 1 capital attributable to the financial subsidiary that have been included in
Schedule RC-R, item 37; and plus the quarterly average of bank assets representing claims
on the financial subsidiary, other than the bank’s ownership interest in the subsidiary, that
were eliminated in consolidation. Because the bank’s claims on the subsidiary were

For example, the amount of eligible retained income to be reported in this item 4753 for the
December 31, 2019, report date would be based on the net income attributable to the
institution for the four calendar quarters ending on December 31, 2019. This net income
amount would equal the net income attributable to the institution most recently reported in
Schedule RI, item 14, for December 31, 2019 (i.e., after adjustments for amended
Consolidated Reports of Income).

R

This net income amount would next be reduced by any distributions and associated tax
effects not already reflected in net income; the resulting amount would be the eligible retained
income to be reported in this item 4753. Thus, if the institution had declared dividends on its
common stock during each calendar quarter in 2019 and had no other distributions during
2019, the institution would reduce its net income amount by the total amount of the dividends
declared in 2019 and report the resulting amount as its eligible net income in this item 4753.

D

As an additional example, the amount of eligible retained income to be reported in this
item 4753 for the March 3131, 2020, report date would be based on the net income
attributable to the institution for the four calendar quarters ending on March 31, 2020. This
net income amount would be calculated by:

(1) Subtracting the net income attributable to the institution most recently reported in
Schedule RI, item 14, for March 31, 2019 (i.e., after adjustments for amended
Consolidated Reports of Income), from the net income attributable to the institution most
recently reported in Schedule RI, item 14, for December 31, 2019 (i.e., after adjustments
for amended Consolidated Reports of Income), and
(2) Adding the result from (1) above to the net income attributable to the institution most
recently reported in Schedule RI, item 14, for March 31, 2020 (i.e., after adjustments for
amended Consolidated Reports of Income).
This net income amount would next be reduced by any distributions and associated tax
effects not already reflected in net income (e.g., dividends declared on the institution’s
common stock between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020); the resulting amount would be

General Instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II.

AF

The instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 1 through 22, provide general directions for the
allocation of bank balance sheet assets, credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet
items, and unsettled transactions to the risk-weight categories in columns C through Q (and, for items 1
through 10 only, to the adjustments to the totals in Schedule RC-R, Part II, column A, to be reported in
column B). In general, the aggregate amount allocated to each risk-weight category is then multiplied by
the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting risk-weighted values from each of the risk
categories are added together, and generally this sum is the bank's total risk-weighted assets, which
comprises the denominator of the risk-based capital ratios.

These instructions should provide sufficient guidance for most banks for risk-weighting their balance sheet
assets and credit equivalent amounts. However, these instructions do not address every type of exposure.
Banks should review the regulatory capital rules of their primary federal supervisory authority for the complete
description of capital requirements.
Exposure Amount Subject to Risk Weighting

In general, banks need to risk weight the exposure amount. The exposure amount is defined in §.2 of the
regulatory capital rules as follows:
(1) For the on-balance sheet component of an exposure,1 the bank’s carrying value of the exposure.

R

(2) For a security2 classified as AFS or HTM where the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a, the carrying value of the exposure (including net accrued but
uncollected interest and fees)3 less any net unrealized gains on the exposure plus any net unrealized
losses on the exposure included in AOCI.

D

(3) For AFS preferred stock classified as an equity security under GAAP where the bank has made the
AOCI opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a, the carrying value less any net unrealized
gains that are reflected in such carrying value, but are excluded from the bank’s regulatory capital
components.

Not including: (1) an available-for-sale (AFS) or held-to-maturity (HTM) security where the bank has made the
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a, (2) an overthe-counter (OTC) derivative contract, (3) a repo-style transaction or an eligible margin loan for which the bank
determines the exposure amount under §.37 of the regulatory capital rules, (4) a cleared transaction, (5) a default
fund contribution, or (6) a securitization exposure.
1

Not including: (1) a securitization exposure, (2) an equity exposure, or (3) preferred stock classified as an equity
security under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

3
Where the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election, accrued but uncollected interest and fees reported in
Schedule RC, item 11, “Other assets,” associated with AFS or (HTM) debt securities that are not securitization
exposures should be reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 8, “All other assets.”

component multiplied by the appropriate credit conversion factor in §.33 of the regulatory capital
rules.
(5) For an exposure that is an OTC derivative contract, the exposure amount determined under §.34 or
§.132 of the regulatory capital rules.
(6) For an exposure that is a derivative contract that is a cleared transaction, the exposure amount
determined under §.35 or §.133 of the regulatory capital rules.

the purpose of Schedule RC-R, Part II, Risk-Weighted Assets.

Not including: (1) an OTC derivative contract, (2) a repo-style transaction or an eligible margin loan for which the
bank calculates the exposure amount under §.37 of the regulatory capital rules, (3) a cleared transaction, (4) a default
fund contribution, or (5) a securitization exposure.

AF

For items 1 through 8 and 11 of Schedule RC-R, Part II, column B should include the amount of the
reporting bank's on-balance sheet assets that are deducted or excluded (not risk weighted) in the
determination of risk-weighted assets. Column B should include assets that are deducted from capital
(subject to the transition provisions of the regulatory capital rules, as applicable) such as goodwill;
intangibles; gain:
 Goodwill;
 Other intangible assets;
 Gain on sale of securitization exposures;
 For non-advanced approaches institutions, threshold deductions above the 1025 percent individual or
15 percent combined limits for (1) deferred tax assets (DTAs) arising from temporary differences that
could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks, (2) mortgage servicing assets (MSAs),
net of associated deferred tax liabilities (DTLs), and (3) investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions;
 For advanced approaches institutions, threshold deductions above the 10 percent individual or 15
percent combined limits for (1) DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized
through net operating loss carrybacks, (2) MSAs, net of associated DTLs, and (3) significant and nonsignificant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common
stock; and any
 For advanced approaches institutions, investments in covered debt instruments and excluded
covered debt instruments, as applicable; and
 Any other assets that must be deducted in accordance with the requirements of a bank's primary
federal supervisory authority.

D

Column B should also include items that are excluded from the calculation of risk-weighted assets, such
as the allowance for loan and lease losses, or allowances for credit losses, as applicable; allocated
transfer risk reserves,; and certain on-balance sheet asset amounts associated with derivative contracts
that are included in the calculation of the credit equivalent amounts of the derivative contracts. In
addition, for items 1 through 8 and 11 of Schedule RC-R, Part II, column B should include any difference
between the balance sheet amount of an on-balance sheet asset and its exposure amount as described
above under “Exposure Amount Subject to Risk Weighting.” Note: For items 1 through 8 and 11 of
Schedule RC-R, Part II, the sum of columns B through R must equal the balance sheet asset amount
reported in column A.
For items 9.a through 9.d of Schedule RC-R, Part II, the amount a reporting bank should report in
column B will depend upon the risk-weighting approach it uses to risk weight its securitization exposures
and whether the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a. For each
of items 9.a through 9.d, a mathematical relationship similar to the one described above will hold true,
such that the sum of columns B through Q must equal the balance sheet asset amount reported in
column A.

For item 10 of Schedule RC-R, Part II, the amount a reporting bank should report in column B also will

the bank will report in column B any difference between the notional amount of the off-balance sheet
securitization exposure that is reported in column A and its exposure amount. If the bank uses the SSFA
or the Gross-Up Approach to risk weight an off-balance sheet securitization exposure, the bank will report
in column B the same amount that it reported in column A. An example is presented in the instructions
for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 10. For item 10 of Schedule RC-R, Part II, the sum of columns B through
Q must equal the amount of the off-balance sheet securitization exposures reported in column A.
For items 12 through 21 of Schedule RC-R, Part II, column B should include the credit equivalent
amounts of the reporting bank's derivative contracts and off-balance sheet items that are covered by the
regulatory capital rules. For the off-balance sheet items in items 12 through 19, the credit equivalent
amount to be reported in column B is calculated by multiplying the face, notional, or other amount
reported in column A by the appropriate credit conversion factor. The credit equivalent amounts in
column B are to be allocated to the appropriate risk-weight categories in columns C through J (or to the
securitization exposure collateral category in column R, if applicable). For items 12 through 21 of
Schedule RC-R, Part II, the sum of columns C through J (plus column R, if applicable) must equal the
credit equivalent amount reported in column B.
Treatment of Collateral and Guarantees
a. Collateralized Transactions

R

The rules for recognition of collateral are in §.37 and pertinent definitions in §.2 of the regulatory capital
rules. The regulatory capital rules define qualifying financial collateral as cash on deposit, gold bullion,
investment grade long- and short-term debt exposures (that are not resecuritization exposures), publicly
traded equity securities and convertible bonds, and money market fund or other mutual fund shares with
prices that are publicly quoted on a daily basis.

D

Banks may apply one of two approaches, as outlined in §.37, to recognize the risk-mitigating effects of
qualifying financial collateral:
(1) Simple Approach: can be used for any type of exposure. Under this approach, banks may apply a risk
weight to the portion of an exposure that is secured by the fair value of the financial collateral based
on the risk weight assigned to the collateral under §.32. However, under this approach, the risk
weight assigned to the collateralized portion of the exposure may not be less than 20 percent, unless
one of the following exceptions applies:


Zero percent risk weight: May be assigned to an exposure to an over-the-counter (OTC)
derivative contract that is marked-to-market on a daily basis and subject to a daily margin
requirement, to the extent that the contract is collateralized to cash on deposit; to the portion of
an exposure collateralized by cash on deposit; to the portion of an exposure collateralized by an
exposure to a sovereign that qualifies for the zero percent risk weight under §.32 and the bank
has discounted the fair value of the collateral by 20 percent.

weight under §.32.

approach, banks would apply either standard supervisory haircuts or own internal estimates for
haircuts to the value of the collateral. See §.37(c) of the regulatory capital rules for a description of
the calculation of the exposure amount, standard supervisory market price volatility haircuts, and
requirements for using own internal estimates for haircuts.
Banks may use any approach described in §.37 that is valid for a particular type of exposure or
transaction; however, they must use the same approach for similar transactions or exposures.

AF

T

If an exposure is partially secured, that is, the market value (or in cases of using the Collateral Haircut
Approach, the adjusted market value) of the financial collateral is less than the face amount of an asset or
off-balance sheet exposure, only the portion that is covered by the market value of the collateral is to be
reported in the risk-weight category item appropriate to the type of collateral. The uncovered portion of
the exposure continues to be assigned to the initial risk-weight category item appropriate to the exposure.
The face amount of an exposure secured by multiple types of qualifying collateral is to be reported in the
risk-weight category items appropriate to the collateral types, apportioned according to the market value
of the types of collateral.
Exposures collateralized by deposits at the reporting institution
The portion of any exposure collateralized by deposits at the reporting institution would be eligible for a
zero percent risk weight. The remaining portion of the exposure that is not collateralized by deposits
should be risk-weighted according to the regulatory capital rules.
b. Guarantees and Credit Derivatives

The rules for recognition of guarantees and credit derivatives are in §.36 and pertinent definitions are in
§.2 of the regulatory capital rules. A bank may recognize the credit risk mitigation benefits of an eligible
guarantee or eligible credit derivative by substituting the risk weight associated with the protection
provider for the risk weight assigned to the exposure. Please refer to the definitions of eligible guarantee,
eligible guarantor, and eligible credit derivative in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules. Note that in the
definition of eligible guarantee, where the definition discusses contingent guarantees, only contingent
guarantees of the U.S. government or its agencies are recognized.

R

The coverage amount provided by an eligible guarantee or eligible credit derivative will need to be
adjusted downward if:
The residual maturity of the credit risk mitigant is less than that of the hedged exposure (maturity
mismatch adjustment), see §.36(c);



The credit risk mitigant does not include as a credit event a restructuring of the hedged exposure
involving forgiveness or postponement of principal, interest, or fees that results in a credit loss
event (that is, a charge-off, specific provision, or other similar debit to the profit and loss account),
see §.36(d); or

D





The credit risk mitigant is denominated in a currency different from that in which the hedged
exposure is denominated (currency mismatch adjustment, see §.36(e).

Exposures covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) loss-sharing agreements
The portion of any exposure covered by an FDIC loss-sharing agreement would be eligible for a
20 percent risk weight. The remaining uncovered portion of the exposure should be risk weighted
according to the regulatory capital rules.

Treatment of Equity Exposures
The treatment of equity exposures are outlined in §.51 through §.53 of the regulatory capital rules. Banks
must use different methodologies to determine risk weighted assets for their equity exposures:


T



The Simple Risk Weight Approach, which must be used for all types of equity exposures that are
not equity exposures to a mutual fund or other investment fund, and
Full look-through, simple modified look-through, and alternative modified look-through
approaches for equity exposures to mutual funds and other investment funds.

Treatment of stable value protection
The regulatory capital rules define stable value protection (SVP) in §.51(a)(3).

AF

A bank that purchases SVP on an investment in a separate account must treat the portion of the carrying
value of the investment attributable to the SVP as an exposure to the provider of the protection. The
remaining portion of the carrying value of the investment must be treated as an equity exposure to an
investment fund.

A bank that provides SVP must treat the exposure as an equity derivative with an adjusted carrying value
equal to the sum of the on-balance and off-balance sheet adjusted carrying value.
Adjusted carrying value
The adjusted carrying value of an equity exposure is equal to:



R



On-balance sheet equity exposure: The carrying value of the exposure.
On-balance sheet equity exposure that is classified as AFS where the bank has made the
AOCI opt-out election: The carrying value of the exposure less any net unrealized gains on the
exposure that are reflected in the carrying value but excluded from regulatory capital.
Off-balance sheet portion of an equity exposure (that is not an equity commitment): The
effective notional principal amount5 of the exposure minus the adjusted carrying value of the onbalance sheet component of the exposure.

For an equity commitment (a commitment to purchase an equity exposure), the effective notional principal
amount must be multiplied by the following credit conversion factors: 20 percent for conditional equity
commitments with an original maturity of one year or less, 50 percent for conditional equity commitments
with an original maturity of more than one year, and 100 percent for unconditional equity commitments.

D

Equity exposure risk weighting methodologies
(1) Simple Risk Weight Approach: Must be used for all types of equity exposures that are not equity
exposures to a mutual fund or other investment fund. Under this approach, banks must determine
the risk weighted asset amount of an individual equity exposure by multiplying (1) the adjusted
carrying value of the exposure or (2) the effective portion and ineffective portion of a hedge pair by
the lowest possible risk weight below:


Zero percent risk weight: An equity exposure to a sovereign, Bank for International
Settlements, the European Central Bank, the European Commission, the International
Monetary Fund, a multilateral development bank (MDB), and any other entity whose credit
exposures receive a zero percent risk weight under §.32 of the regulatory capital rules.

The regulatory capital rules define the “effective notional principal amount” as an exposure of equivalent size to a
hypothetical on-balance sheet position in the underlying equity instrument that would evidence the same change in
fair value (measured in dollars) given a small change in the price of the underlying equity instrument.

exposures: unconsolidated small business investment companies or held through
consolidated small business investment companies; publicly traded (including those held
indirectly through mutual funds or other investment funds); and non-publicly traded
(including those held indirectly through mutual funds or other investment funds).



600 percent risk weight: An equity exposure to an investment firm, provided that the
investment firm would (1) meet the definition of traditional securitization in §.2 of the
regulatory capital rules were it not for the application of paragraph (8) of the definition and
(2) has greater than immaterial leverage.

D

(2) Full look-through approach: Used only for equity exposures to a mutual fund or other investment
fund. Requires a minimum risk weight of 20 percent. Under this approach, banks calculate the
aggregate risk-weighted asset amounts of the carrying value of the exposures held by the fund as if
they were held directly by the bank multiplied by the bank’s proportional ownership share of the fund.
(3) Simple modified look-through approach: Used only for equity exposures to a mutual fund or other
investment fund. Requires a minimum risk weight of 20 percent. Under this approach, risk-weighted
assets for an equity exposure is equal to the exposure’s adjusted carrying value multiplied by the
highest risk weight that applies to any exposure the fund is permitted to hold under the prospectus,
partnership agreement, or similar agreement that defines the funds permissible investments.
(4) Alternative modified look-through approach: Used only for equity exposures to a mutual fund or other
investment fund. Requires a minimum risk weight of 20 percent. Under this approach, banks may
assign the adjusted carrying value on a pro rata basis to different risk-weight categories based on the
limits in the fund’s prospectus, partnership agreement, or similar contract that defines the fund’s
permissible investments.

Treatment of Sales of 1-4 Family Residential First Mortgage Loans with Credit-Enhancing
Representations and Warranties

D

R

AF

T

When a bank transfers mortgage loans with credit-enhancing representations and warranties in a
transaction that qualifies for sale accounting under GAAP, the bank will need to report and risk weight
those exposures. The definition of credit-enhancing representations and warranties (CERWs) is found in
§.2 of the regulatory capital rules. Many CERWs should be treated as securitization exposures for

FFIEC 031 and 041

RC-R – REGULATORY CAPITAL

106

purposes of risk weighting. However, those CERWs that do not qualify as securitization exposures
receive a 100 percent credit conversion factor as indicated in §.33 of the regulatory capital rules. For
example, if the bank has agreed to repurchase the loans that it has sold, it will generally need to risk
weight those loans in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 17, until the warranties expire. Note that CERWs do
not include certain early default clauses and similar warranties that permit the return of, or premium
refund clauses covering, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans that qualify for a 50 percent risk weight
provided the warranty period does not exceed 120 days from the date of transfer.

T

Example: A bank sells $100 in qualifying 1-4 family residential first mortgage loans and agrees to
repurchase them in case of early default for up to 180 days. This warranty exceeds the 120-day
limit, and therefore the full $100 should be reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 17, until the
warranty expires.

AF

If the bank has made a CERW that is limited or capped (e.g., a warranty to cover first losses on loans up
to a set amount that is less than the full loan amount), such warranties are regarded as securitization
exposures under the regulatory capital rules as they represent a transaction that has been separated into
at least two tranches reflecting different levels of seniority for credit risk. (Refer to the definitions of
securitization exposure, synthetic securitization, traditional securitization, and tranche in §.2 of the
regulatory capital rules). The bank will need to report and risk weight these warranties in Schedule RC-R,
Part II, item 10, as off-balance sheet securitization exposures.
Example: A bank sells $100 in qualifying 1-4 family residential first mortgage loans and agrees to
compensate the buyer for losses up to $2 if the loans default during the first 12 months. Twelve
months exceeds the 120-day limit and therefore the agreement is a CERW. The CERW is also a
securitization exposure because the $2 is effectively a first loss tranche on a $100 transaction.

R

For purposes of reporting this transaction in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 10, the bank should
report $100 in column A, an adjustment of $98 in column B, and then $2 in column Q as an
exposure amount that is risk weighted by applying a 1,250 percent risk weight (if the bank does
not use the Simplified Supervisory Formula Approach (SSFA) or the Gross-Up Approach for
purposes of risk weighting its securitization exposures). The bank will not need to report any
amount in columns T or U of Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 10, unless it uses the SSFA or GrossUp approach for calculating the risk-weighted asset amount for this transaction.
If the bank uses either the SSFA or Gross-Up Approach to risk weight the $2 exposure, the bank
should report $100 in both column A and column B. In column T or U, it would report the riskweighted asset amount calculated by using the SSFA or Gross-Up Approach, respectively.

Treatment of Exposures to Sovereign Entities and Foreign Banks

D

These instructions contain several references to Country Risk Classifications (CRC) used by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The CRC methodology classifies
countries into one of eight risk categories (0-7), with countries assigned to the zero category having the
lowest possible risk assessment and countries assigned to the 7 category having the highest possible risk
assessment. The OECD regularly updates CRCs for more than 150 countries and makes the
assessments publicly available on its website.6 The OECD does not assign a CRC to every country; for
example, it does not assign a CRC to a number of major economies; it also does not assign a CRC to
many smaller countries. As such, the table below also provides risk weights for countries with no CRC
based on whether or not those particular countries are members of the OECD. In addition, there is a
higher risk weight of 150 percent for any country that has defaulted on its sovereign debt within the past
5 years, regardless of the CRC rating.

Summary of Risk Weights for Exposures to Government and Public Sector Entities
The following are some of the most common exposures to government and public sector entities and the
risk weights that apply to them:

AF

Column C – 0% risk weight:
 All exposures (defined broadly to include securities, loans, and leases) that are direct exposures
to, or the portion of exposures that are directly and unconditionally guaranteed by, the U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agencies. This includes the portions of deposits insured by the
FDIC or the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
 Exposures that are collateralized by cash on deposit in the reporting bank.
 Exposures that are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or
other sovereign governments that qualify for the zero percent risk weight. Collateral value must be
adjusted under §.37 of the regulatory capital rules.
 Exposures to, and the portions of exposures guaranteed by, the Bank for International
Settlements, the European Central Bank, the European Commission, the International Monetary
Fund, the European Stability Mechanism, the European Financial Stability Facility, or a
multilateral development bank (as specifically defined in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules).

R

Column G – 20% risk weight:
 The portion of exposures that are conditionally guaranteed by the U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agencies. This includes exposures, or the portions of exposures, conditionally
guaranteed by the FDIC or the NCUA.
 The portion of exposures that are collateralized by cash on deposit in the bank or by securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or U.S. Government agencies that are not included
in zero percent column.
 General obligation exposures to states, municipalities, and other political subdivisions of the
United States.
 Exposures to U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs) other than equity exposures or
preferred stock, and risk sharing securities.

D

Column H – 50% risk weight:
 Revenue obligation exposures to states, municipalities, and other political subdivisions of the
United States.

Column I – 100% risk weight:
 Preferred stock of U.S. GSEs.

Risk-Weighted Assets for Securitization Exposures

Under the agencies’ regulatory capital rules, three separate approaches are available for setting the
regulatory capital requirements for securitization exposures, as defined in §.2 of the regulatory capital
rules. Securitization exposures include asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, other positions in
securitization transactions, re-securitizations, and structured finance programs7 (except credit-enhancing

Structured finance programs include, but are not limited to, collateralized debt obligations.

interest-only (CEIO) strips). Include as a securitization exposure for risk-weighted asset purposes any
amount reported in Schedule RC, item 11, “Other assets,” for accrued interest receivable on an onbalance sheet securitization exposure. In general, under each of the three approaches, the risk-based
capital requirement for a position in a securitization or structured finance program (hereafter referred to
collectively as a securitization) is computed by multiplying the calculated amount of the position (including
any accrued interest receivable on the position) by the appropriate risk weight. The three approaches to
determining the proper risk weight for a securitization exposure are the Simplified Supervisory Formula
Approach (SSFA), the Gross-Up Approach, or the 1,250 Percent Risk Weight Approach.

AF

If a securitization exposure is not an after-tax gain-on-sale resulting from a securitization that requires
deduction, or the portion of a CEIO strip that does not constitute an after-tax gain-on-sale,8 a bank may
assign a risk weight to the securitization exposure using the SSFA if certain requirements are met. If a
bank is not subject to Subpart F (the market risk capital rule) of the regulatory capital rules, it may instead
choose to assign a risk weight to the securitization exposure using the Gross-Up Approach if certain
requirements are met. However, the bank must apply either the SSFA or the Gross-Up Approach
consistently across all of its securitization exposures. However, if the bank cannot, or chooses not to,
apply the SSFA or the Gross-Up Approach to an individual securitization exposure, the bank must assign
a 1,250 percent risk weight to that exposure.
Both traditional and synthetic securitizations must meet certain operational requirements before applying
either the SSFA or the Gross-Up Approach. Furthermore, banks must complete certain due diligence
requirements and satisfactorily demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the features of the
securitization exposure that would materially affect the performance of the exposure. If these due
diligence requirements are not met, the bank must assign the securitization exposure a risk weight of
1,250 percent. The bank’s analysis must be commensurate with the complexity of the securitization
exposure and the materiality of the exposure in relation to its capital. Banks should refer to §.41 of the
regulatory capital rules to review the details of these operational and due diligence requirements.

R

For example, a bank not subject to the market risk capital rule has 12 securitization exposures. The
operational and due diligence requirements have been met for 10 of the exposures, to which the bank
applies the Gross-Up Approach. The bank then assigns a 1,250 percent risk weight to the other two
exposures. Alternatively, the bank could assign a 1,250 percent risk weight to all 12 securitization
exposures.
a. Exposure Amount Calculation

D

The exposure amount of an on-balance sheet securitization exposure that is not an available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity security where the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I,
item 3.a, a repo-style transaction, an eligible margin loan, an over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contract,
or a cleared transaction is equal to the carrying value of the exposure (including any accrued interest
receivable on the exposure reported in Schedule RC, item 11, “Other assets”).

The exposure amount of an on-balance sheet securitization exposure that is an available-for-sale or heldto-maturity security where the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I,
item 3.a, is equal to the carrying value of the exposure (including any accrued interest receivable on the
exposure reported in Schedule RC, item 11), less any net unrealized gains on the exposure and plus any
net unrealized losses on the exposure.
The exposure amount of an off-balance sheet securitization exposure that is not a repo-style transaction,
an eligible margin loan, a cleared transaction (other than a credit derivative), an OTC derivative contract

Consistent with the regulatory capital rules, a bank must deduct from common equity tier 1 capital any after-tax
gain-on-sale resulting from a securitization and must apply a 1,250 percent risk weight to the portion of a CEIO strip
that does not constitute an after-tax gain-on-sale.

(other than a credit derivative), or an exposure to an asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) program is
the notional amount of the exposure.

T

For an off-balance sheet securitization exposure to an ABCP program, such as an eligible ABCP liquidity
facility, the notional amount may be reduced to the maximum potential amount that the bank could be
required to fund given the ABCP program’s current underlying assets (calculated without regard to the
current credit quality of those assets). An exposure amount of an eligible ABCP liquidity facility for which
the SSFA does not apply is calculated by multiplying the notional amount of the exposure by a credit
conversion factor (CCF) of 50 percent. An exposure amount of an eligible ABCP liquidity facility for which
the SSFA does apply is calculated by multiplying the notional amount of the exposure by a CCF of 100
percent.

AF

The exposure amount of a securitization exposure that is a repo-style transaction, eligible margin loan, or
derivative contract (other than a credit derivative) is the exposure amount of the transaction as calculated
using the instructions for calculating the exposure amount of OTC derivatives or collateralized
transactions outlined in §.34, §.132, or §.37 of the regulatory capital rules.
If a bank has multiple securitization exposures that provide duplicative coverage to the underlying
exposures of a securitization, the bank is not required to hold duplicative risk-based capital against the
overlapping position. Instead, the bank may apply to the overlapping position the applicable risk-based
capital treatment that results in the highest risk-based capital requirement.

If a bank provides support to a securitization in excess of the bank’s contractual obligation to provide
credit support to the securitization (implicit support) it must include in risk-weighted assets all of the
underlying exposures associated with the securitization as if the exposures had not been securitized and
must deduct from common equity tier 1 capital any after-tax gain-on-sale resulting from the securitization.
b. Simplified Supervisory Formula Approach

R

To use the SSFA to determine the risk weight for a securitization exposure, a bank must have data that
enables it to accurately assign the parameters. The data used to assign the parameters must be the
most currently available data and no more than 91 calendar days old. A bank that does not have the
appropriate data to assign the parameters must assign a risk weight of 1,250 percent to the exposure.
See the operational requirements outlined in §.43 of the regulatory capital rules for further instructions.
To calculate the risk weight for a securitization exposure using the SSFA, a bank must have accurate
information on the following five inputs to the SSFA calculation:
Parameter KG is the weighted-average total capital requirement for all underlying exposures
calculated using the standardized approach (with unpaid principal used as the weight for each
exposure). Parameter KG is expressed as a decimal value between zero and one (e.g., an
average risk weight of 100 percent represents a value of KG equal to .08). “Underlying
exposures” is defined in the regulatory capital rules to mean one or more exposures that have
been securitized in a securitization transaction. In this regard, underlying exposures means all
exposures, including performing and nonperforming exposures. Thus, for example, for a pool of
underlying corporate exposures that have been securitized, where 95 percent of the pool is
performing (and qualify for a risk weight of 100 percent) and 5 percent of the pool is past due
exposures that are not guaranteed and are unsecured (and thus are assigned a risk weight of
150 percent), the weighted risk weight for the pool would be 102.5 percent [102.5% = (95% *
100%) + (5% * 150%)] and the total capital requirement KG would be equal to 0.082 (102.5%
divided by 1,250%). This treatment is consistent with the regulatory capital rules.

Parameter W is the ratio of the sum of the dollar amounts of any underlying exposures within the
securitized pool to the ending balance, measured in dollars, of underlying exposures, that meet
any of the following criteria: (1) 90 days or more past due; (2) subject to a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding; (3) in the process of foreclosure; (4) held as real estate owned; (5) has
contractually deferred interest payments for 90 days or more (other than in the case of
deferments on federally guaranteed student loans and certain consumer loans deferred according
to provisions in the contract); or (6) is in default. Parameter W is expressed as a decimal value
between zero and one.

T



As a result, past due exposures that also meet one or more of the criteria in parameter W are to
be factored into the measure of both parameters KG and W for purposes of calculating the
regulatory capital requirement for securitization exposures using the SSFA.

Parameter A is the attachment point for the exposure, which represents the threshold at which
credit losses will first be allocated to the exposure. Parameter A equals the ratio of the current
dollar amount of underlying exposures that are subordinated to the exposure of the bank to the
current dollar amount of underlying exposures. Any reserve account funded by the accumulated
cash flows from the underlying exposures that is subordinated to the bank’s securitization
exposure may be included in the calculation of parameter A to the extent that cash is present in
the account. Parameter A is expressed as a decimal value between zero and one.



Parameter D is the detachment point for the exposure, which represents the threshold at which
credit losses of principal allocated to the exposure would result in a total loss of principal.
Parameter D equals parameter A plus the ratio of the current dollar amount of the securitization
exposures that are pari passu with the exposure (that is, have equal seniority with respect to
credit risk) to the current dollar amount of the underlying exposures. Parameter D is expressed
as a decimal value between zero and one.



A supervisory calibration parameter, p, is equal to 0.5 for securitization exposures that are not
resecuritization exposures and equal to 1.5 for resecuritization exposures.

For purposes of reporting in Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 9 and 10, a bank would report in column T the
risk-weighted asset amount calculated under the SSFA for its securitization exposures.
c. Gross-Up Approach

T

A bank that is not subject to the market risk capital rule (Subpart F) in the regulatory capital rules may
apply the Gross-Up Approach instead of the SSFA to determine the risk weight of its securitization
exposures, provided that it applies the Gross-Up Approach consistently to all of its securitization
exposures.
To calculate the risk weight for a securitization exposure using the Gross-Up Approach, a bank must
calculate the following four inputs:

(1) Pro rata share, which is the par value of the bank’s securitization exposure as a percent of the par
value of the tranche in which the securitization exposure resides.

AF

(2) Enhanced amount, which is the par value of the tranches that are more senior to the tranche in which
the bank’s securitization resides.
(3) Exposure amount of the bank’s securitization exposure (including any accrued interest receivable on
the exposure).
(4) Risk weight, which is the weighted-average risk weight of underlying exposures in the securitization
pool.
The bank would calculate the credit equivalent amount which is equal to the sum of the exposure
amount of the bank’s securitization exposure (3) and the pro rata share (1) multiplied by the enhanced
amount (2).

A bank must assign the higher of the weighted-average risk weight (4) or a 20 percent risk weight to the

For purposes of reporting its non-senior securitization exposures in Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 9
and 10, a bank would report in column U the risk-weighted asset amount calculated in line (g) on the
Gross-Up Approach worksheet. For a senior securitization exposure, a bank would report in column U
the exposure amount of its exposure multiplied by the weighted-average risk weight of the securitization’s
underlying exposures, subject to a 20 percent risk-weight floor.
Reporting in Schedule RC-R, Part II, When Using the Gross-Up Approach:

D

If the bank’s non-senior security is an HTM securitization exposure, the amortized cost of this security is
included on the Report of Condition balance sheet in Schedule RC, item 2.a, “Held-to-maturity securities,”
and on the regulatory capital schedule in columns A and B of Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9.a,
“On-balance sheet securitization exposures – Held-to-maturity securities.” The risk-weighted asset
amount from line (g) in the Gross-Up Approach Worksheet above is reported in column U of
Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9.a.

If the bank’s security is an AFS securitization exposure, the fair value of this security is included on the

A senior securitization exposure means a securitization exposure that has a first priority claim on the cash flows
from the underlying exposures, without considering amounts due under interest rate or currency contracts, fees or
other similar payments due. Time tranching (that is, maturity differences) also is not considered when determining
whether a securitization exposure is a senior securitization exposure.

d. 1,250 Percent Risk Weight Approach

AF

If the bank cannot, or chooses not to, apply the SSFA or the Gross-Up Approach to the securitization
exposure, the bank must assign a 1,250 percent risk weight to the exposure (including any accrued
interest receivable on the exposure).
Securitization exposure reporting in Schedule RC-R, Part II

Securitization exposure reporting depends on the methodology the bank will use to risk weight the
exposure.
For example, if a bank plans to apply the 1,250 percent risk weight to its securitization exposures, the
amount reported in column Q should match the amount reported in column A (plus or minus any
adjustments reported in column B, such as that for an allocated transfer risk reserve (ATRR)). For any
securitization exposure risk weighted using the 1,250 percent risk weight, the sum of columns B and Q
should equal column A.

In addition, when a bank applies the 1,250 percent risk weight to an on-balance sheet securitization

in Schedule RC, item 11, “Other assets,” for accrued interest receivable on the securitization exposures,
regardless of where the securitization exposure is reported on the balance sheet in Schedule RC. The
amount reported in column Q should match the amount reported in column A
If a bank – regardless of whether it makes the AOCI opt-out election – is applying the SSFA or Gross-Up
Approach, the reporting is significantly different due to the fact that the bank reports the risk-weighted
asset amount in columns T or U.

$100 in both columns A and B. If the bank applies the SSFA and calculates a risk-weighted asset exposure of
$20 for that securitization, the bank would report $20 in column T. Since it is using the SSFA for all its
securitization exposures, the bank must report $0 in column U.

A bank, at its discretion, could also use both the 1,250 percent risk weight for some securitization exposures
and either the SSFA or Gross-Up Approach for other securitization exposures. For example, Bank Z has three
securitization exposures, each valued at $100 on the balance sheet. Bank Z chooses to apply the 1,250
percent risk weight to one exposure and use the Gross-Up Approach to calculate risk-weighted assets for the
other two exposures. Assume that the risk-weighted asset amount under the Gross-Up Approach is $20 for
each exposure.

the two securitization exposures that were risk weighted using the Gross-Up Approach. This $40 is included in
risk-weighted assets before deductions in item 28 of Schedule RC-R, Part II.
Banks That Are Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule

D

The banking agencies' regulatory capital rules require all banks with significant market risk to measure
their market risk exposure and hold sufficient capital to mitigate this exposure. In general, a bank is
subject to the market risk capital rule if its consolidated trading activity, defined as the sum of trading
assets and liabilities as reported in its Call Report for the previous quarter, equals: (1) 10 percent or more
of the bank's total assets as reported in its Call Report for the previous quarter, or (2) $1 billion or more.
However, a bank’s primary federal supervisory authority may exempt or include the bank if necessary or
appropriate for safe and sound banking practices.
A bank that is subject to the market risk capital rule must hold capital to support its exposure to general
market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates, and
commodity prices and its exposure to specific risk associated with certain debt and equity positions.

A covered position is a trading asset or trading liability (whether on- or off-balance sheet), as reported on
Schedule RC-D, that is held for any of the following reasons:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

For the purpose of short-term resale;
With the intent of benefiting from actual or expected short-term price movements;
To lock in arbitrage profits; or
To hedge another covered position.

T

Covered positions include all positions in a bank's trading account and foreign exchange and commodity
positions, whether or not in the trading account. Covered positions generally should not be risk weighted
as part of the bank's credit risk-weighted assets. However, foreign exchange positions that are outside of
the trading account and all over-the-counter derivatives as well as cleared transactions and unsettled
transactions continue to have a counterparty credit risk capital charge. Those positions are included in
both risk-weighted assets for credit risk and the bank's covered positions for market risk.

AF

Additionally, the trading asset or trading liability must be free of any restrictive covenants on its tradability
or the bank must be able to hedge the material risk elements of the trading asset or trading liability in a
two-way market. A covered position also includes a foreign exchange or commodity position, regardless
of whether the position is a trading asset or trading liability (excluding structural foreign currency positions
if supervisory approval has been granted to exclude such positions).
A covered position does not include:

R

(1) An intangible asset (including any servicing asset);
(2) A hedge of a trading position that is outside the scope of the bank’s hedging strategy (required by the
market risk capital rule);
(3) Any position that, in form or substance, acts as a liquidity facility that provides support to ABCP;
(4) A credit derivative recognized as a guarantee for risk-weighted asset calculation purposes under the
regulatory capital rules for credit risk;
(5) An equity position that is not publicly traded (other than a derivative that references a publicly traded
equity);
(6) A position held with the intent to securitize; or
(7) A direct real estate holding.
A bank subject to the market risk capital rule must maintain an overall minimum 8.0 percent ratio of total
qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, net of all deductions) to the sum of riskweighted assets and market risk-weighted assets. Banks should refer to the regulatory capital rules of
their primary federal supervisory authority for specific instructions on the calculation of the measure for
market risk.

Adjustments for Financial Subsidiaries

Section 121 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act allows national banks and insured state banks to establish
entities known as financial subsidiaries. (Savings associations are not authorized under the GrammLeach-Bliley Act to have financial subsidiaries.) One of the statutory requirements for establishing a
financial subsidiary is that a national bank or insured state bank must deduct any investment in a financial
subsidiary from the bank’s assets and tangible equity. Therefore, under the revised regulatory capital
rules, a bank must deduct the aggregate amount of its outstanding equity investment in a financial
subsidiary, including the retained earnings of the subsidiary, from its common equity tier 1 capital
elements in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 10.b. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary may
not be consolidated with those of the parent bank for regulatory capital purposes.

If a financial subsidiary has not been consolidated into the bank for purposes of the bank’s balance sheet,
as reported in Schedule RC, the bank must adjust its assets, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, for its
equity investment in the financial subsidiary (accounted for under the equity method of accounting).
Accordingly, the amount at which the bank’s equity investment in the financial subsidiary is included in the
bank’s “All other assets” as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 8, column A, should be reported as
an adjustment in item 8, column B.

T

If a financial subsidiary has been consolidated into the bank for purposes of the bank’s balance sheet, as
reported in Schedule RC, the bank must adjust its consolidated assets, as reported in Schedule RC-R,
Part II, items 1 through 9, column A, for the assets of the financial subsidiary that are included in
column A. Accordingly, the amount at which the financial subsidiary’s assets are included in the bank’s
consolidated assets in column A should be reported, by balance sheet asset category, as adjustments in
column B. For example, if a bank’s $100 million in HTM securities, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 2.a, column A, includes its financial subsidiary’s $10 million in HTM securities, the bank should report
$10 million as an adjustment in item 2.a, column B.

AF

In addition, if a financial subsidiary has been consolidated into the bank for purposes of the bank’s offbalance sheet securitization exposures, derivatives, off-balance sheet items, and other items subject to
risk weighting as reported in Schedules RC-L, RC-S, and RC, the bank must adjust its consolidated
exposures for the exposures of its financial subsidiary when the bank completes the items for derivatives,
off-balance sheet exposures, and other items subject to risk weighting in Schedule RC-R, Part II.
Thus, the bank should exclude the off-balance sheet securitization exposures and off-balance sheet
items (including repo-style transactions) of its financial subsidiary from the amounts it reports in
Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 10 and 12 through 19, column A. The bank also should exclude the
derivatives of its financial subsidiary from the calculation of the credit equivalent amount of derivatives the
bank reports in Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 20 and 21, column B, and from the current credit exposure
amount and notional principal amounts reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, Memorandum items 1
through 3.

D

R

If a financial subsidiary has been consolidated into the bank for purposes of the bank’s balance sheet, as
reported in Schedule RC, and the bank’s consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses or
consolidated allowances for credit losses, as applicable, or its consolidated allowance for credit losses on
off-balance sheet credit exposures includes such an allowance attributable to the financial subsidiary, the
bank must adjust its consolidated allowances for those attributable to the financial subsidiary.
Accordingly, the bank must exclude the portion of its consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses or
consolidated allowances for credit losses, as applicable, and its consolidated allowance for credit losses
on off-balance sheet credit exposures attributable to its financial subsidiary when the bank determines the
amount of its allowance for loan and lease losses or adjusted allowances for credit losses, as applicable,
includable in tier 2 capital (reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3042 on the FFIEC 041; item 42.a on
the FFIEC 031) and its excess allowance for loan and lease losses or excess adjusted allowances for
credit losses, as applicable (reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 29).
Treatment of Embedded Derivatives

If a bank has a hybrid contract containing an embedded derivative that must be separated from the host
contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging
(formerly FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as
amended), then the host contract and embedded derivative should be treated separately for risk-based
capital purposes. When the fair value of the embedded derivative has been reported as part of the bank's
assets on Schedule RC – Balance Sheet, that fair value (whether positive or negative) should be reported
(as a positive or negative number) in column B of the corresponding asset category item in Schedule RC-R,
Part II (items 1 to 8). The host contract, if an asset, should be risk weighted according to the obligor or, if
relevant, the guarantor or the nature of the collateral. All derivative exposures should be risk weighted in the
derivative items of Schedule RC-R, Part II, as appropriate (items 20 or 21).

Reporting Exposures Hedged with Cleared Eligible Credit Derivatives

AF

T

Institutions are able to obtain full or partial protection for (i.e., “hedge”) on-balance sheet assets or offbalance sheet items using credit derivatives that are cleared through a qualified central counterparty
(QCCP) or a central counterparty (CCP) that is not a QCCP. In some cases, a cleared credit derivative
used for this purpose meets the definition of an eligible credit derivative in §.2 of the regulatory capital
rules. In these cases, under §.36 of the regulatory capital rules, an institution that is a clearing member or
a clearing member client may recognize the credit risk mitigation benefits of the eligible credit derivative.
More specifically, the risk weight of the underlying exposure (e.g., 20 percent, 50 percent, or 100 percent)
may be replaced with the risk weight of the CCP or QCCP as the protection provider if the credit
derivative is an eligible credit derivative, is cleared through a CCP or a QCCP, and meets the applicable
requirements under §.35 and §.36 of the regulatory capital rules. The risk weight for an eligible credit
derivative cleared through a QCCP is 2 percent or 4 percent, based on conditions set forth in the rules.
The risk weight for an eligible credit derivative cleared through a CCP is determined according to §.32 of
the regulatory capital rules. In addition, the coverage amount provided by an eligible credit derivative
must be adjusted downward under certain conditions as described in §.36 of the regulatory capital rules.
If a clearing member bank or clearing member client bank has obtained full or partial protection for an
on-balance sheet asset or off-balance sheet item using a cleared eligible credit derivative cleared through
a QCCP, the institution may, but is not required to, recognize the benefits of this eligible credit derivative
in determining the risk-weighted asset amount for the hedged exposure in Schedule RC-R, Part II, by
reporting the protected exposure amounts and credit equivalent amounts in the 2 percent or 4 percent
risk-weight category, as appropriate under the regulatory capital rules. Any amount of the exposure that
is not covered by the eligible credit derivative should be reported in the risk-weight category
corresponding to the risk weight of the underlying exposure. For example, for an asset with a $200
exposure amount fully covered by an eligible credit derivative cleared through a QCCP that qualifies for a
2 percent risk weight, the institution would report the $200 exposure amount in Column D–2% risk weight
for the appropriate asset category.
Treatment of Certain Centrally Cleared Derivative Contracts

D

R

In August 2017, the banking agencies issued supervisory guidance on the regulatory capital treatment of
certain centrally cleared derivative contracts, which are reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 21, in
light of revisions to the rulebooks of certain central counterparties. Under the previous requirements of
these central counterparties’ rulebooks, variation margin transferred to cover the exposure that arises
from marking cleared derivative contracts, and netting sets of such contracts, to fair value was considered
collateral pledged by one party to the other, with title to the collateral remaining with the posting party.
These derivative contracts are referred to as collateralized-to-market contracts. Under the revised
rulebooks of certain central counterparties, variation margin for certain centrally cleared derivative
contracts, and certain netting sets of such contracts, is considered a settlement payment for the exposure
that arises from marking these derivative contracts and netting sets to fair value, with title to the payment
transferring to the receiving party. In these circumstances, the derivative contracts and netting sets are
referred to as settled-to-market contracts.
Irrespective of the classification discussed above, under the standardized approach for counterparty
credit risk (SA-CCR), a banking organization may elect to treat settled-to-market derivative contracts as
collateralized-to-market derivative contracts subject to a variation margin agreement and apply the
maturity factor for derivative contracts subject to a variation margin agreement. A banking organization
that elects to apply this treatment must apply the maturity factor applicable to margined derivative
contracts.
Under the agencies’ regulatory capital rules, in general, an institution must calculate the trade exposure
amount for a cleared derivative contract, or a netting set of such contracts, by using the methodology
described in §.34 of the rules to determine (i) the current credit exposure and (ii) the potential future

T

Under SA-CCR, the determination of the replacement cost depends on whether the counterparty to a
banking organization is required to post variation margin. The replacement cost for a netting set that is
not subject to a variation margin agreement is equal to the greater of (1) the sum of the fair values (after
excluding any valuation adjustments) of the derivative contracts within the netting set, less the net
independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative contracts, or (2) zero. For a netting set that is
subject to a variation margin agreement where the counterparty is required to post variation margin,
replacement cost is equal to the greater of (1) the sum of the fair values (after excluding any valuation
adjustments) of the derivative contracts within the netting set, less the sum of the net independent
collateral amount and the variation margin amount applicable to such derivative contracts; (2) the sum of
the variation margin threshold and the minimum transfer amount applicable to the derivative contracts
within the netting set, less the net independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative contracts;
or (3) zero. The SA-CCR PFE is equal to the product of the PFE multiplier and the aggregated amount.
To determine the aggregated amount, a banking organization is required to determine the hedging set
amounts for the derivative contracts within a netting set, where a hedging set is comprised of derivative
contracts that share similar risk factors based on asset class (e.g., interest rate, exchange rate, credit,
equity, and commodity).
The regulatory capital rules provide that, for a derivative contract that is structured such that on specified
dates any outstanding exposure is settled and the terms are reset so that the fair value of the contract is
zero, the remaining maturity equals the time until the next reset date.

R

For the purpose of the regulatory capital rules, the August 2017 supervisory guidance states that if, after
accounting and legal analysis, an institution determines that (i) the variation margin payment on a
centrally cleared settled-to-market contract settles any outstanding exposure on the contract, and (ii) the
terms are reset so that the fair value of the contract is zero, the remaining maturity on such a contract
would equal the time until the next exchange of variation margin on the contract. In conducting its legal
analysis to determine whether variation margin may be considered settlement of outstanding exposure
under the regulatory capital rules, an institution should evaluate whether the transferor of the variation
margin has relinquished all legal claims to the variation margin and whether the payment of variation
margin constitutes settlement under the central counterparty’s rulebook, any other applicable agreements
governing the derivative contract, and applicable law. Among other requirements, a central
counterparty’s rulebook may require an institution to satisfy additional obligations, such as payment of
other expenses and fees, in order to recognize payment of variation margin as satisfying settlement under
the rulebook. The legal and accounting analysis performed by the institution should take all such
requirements into account.

D

When using the SA-CCR method, a banking organization may elect to treat settled-to-market derivatives
contracts as subject to a variation margin agreement and receive the benefits of netting with
collateralized-to-market derivative contracts. If a banking organization elects to treat settled-to-market
derivative contracts as subject to a variation margin agreement, it must apply the maturity factor to such
contracts under §.132(c)(9)(iv)(A) of the rules. The maturity factor of a derivative contract that is subject
to a variation margin agreement, excluding derivative contracts that are subject to a variation margin
agreement under which the counterparty is not required to post variation margin, is determined by the
following formula:

where MPOR refers to the period from the most recent exchange of collateral under a variation margin
agreement with a defaulting counterparty until the derivative contracts are closed out and the resulting
market risk is re-hedged.

Institutions should refer to the supervisory guidance in its entirety for purposes of determining the
appropriate regulatory capital treatment of settled-to-market contracts under the regulatory capital rules.
Treatment of FDIC Loss-Sharing Agreements

Allocated Transfer Risk Reserve (ATRR)

T

Loss-sharing agreements entered into by the FDIC with acquirers of assets from failed institutions are
considered conditional guarantees for risk-based capital purposes due to contractual conditions that
acquirers must meet. The guaranteed portion of assets subject to a loss-sharing agreement may be
assigned a 20 percent risk weight. Because the structural arrangements for these agreements vary
depending on the specific terms of each agreement, institutions should consult with their primary federal
regulator to determine the appropriate risk-based capital treatment for specific loss-sharing agreements.

If the reporting bank is required to establish and maintain an ATRR as specified in Section 905(a) of the
International Lending Supervision Act of 1983, the ATRR should be reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 30. The ATRR is not eligible for inclusion in either tier 1 or tier 2 capital.

AF

Any ATRR related to loans and leases held for investment is included on the balance sheet in
Schedule RC, item 4.c, "Allowance for loan and lease losses," and separately disclosed in Schedule RI-B,
part II, Memorandum item 1. However, if the bank must maintain an ATRR for any asset other than a
loan or lease held for investment, the balance sheet category for that asset should be reported net of the
ATRR on Schedule RC. In this situation, the ATRR should be reported as a negative number (i.e., with a
minus (-) sign) in column B, "Adjustments to totals reported in Column A," of the corresponding asset
category in Schedule RC-R, Part II, items 1 through 4 and 7 through 9. The amount to be risk weighted
for this asset in columns C through Q, as appropriate, would be its net carrying value plus the ATRR.
For example, a bank has an HTM security issued by a foreign commercial company against which it has
established an ATRR of $20. The security, net of the ATRR, is included in Schedule RC, item 2.a,
"Held-to-maturity securities," at $80. The security should be included in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.a,
column A, at $80. The bank should include $-20 in Schedule RC-R, item 2.a, column B, and $100 in
item 2.a, column I.
See the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 21, “Centrally cleared derivatives,” for a chart of the
conversion factors.

Exposure amount to be used for purposes of risk weighting – bank cannot or has not made
the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) opt-out election in Schedule RC-R,
Part I, item 3.a:
For a security classified as HTM where the bank cannot or has not made the AOCI opt-out
election (i.e., most AOCI is included in regulatory capital), the exposure amount to be risk
weighted by the bank is the carrying value of the security, which is the value of the asset
reported (a) on the balance sheet of the bank determined in accordance with GAAP and
(b) in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.a, column A.

D

Exposure amount to be used for purposes of risk weighting – bank has made the AOCI
opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a:
For a security classified as HTM where the bank has made the AOCI opt-out election (i.e.,
most AOCI is not included in regulatory capital), the exposure amount to be risk weighted by
the bank is the carrying value of the security reported (a) on the balance sheet of the bank
and (b) in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.a, column A, less any unrealized gain on the
exposure or plus any unrealized loss on the exposure included in AOCI. For purposes of
determining the exposure amount of an HTM security, an unrealized gain (loss), if any, on
such a security that is included in AOCI is (i) the unamortized balance of the unrealized gain
(loss) that existed at the date of transfer of a debt security transferred into the
held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category, or (ii) the unaccreted portion of
other-than-temporary impairment losses on an HTM debt security that was not recognized in

have not made the AOCI opt-out election, the on-balance sheet component is equal to the carrying value. Refer to
§.51 for the precise definition.

Adjusted carrying value applies only to equity exposures and is defined in §.51 of the regulatory capital rules. In
general, it includes an on-balance sheet amount as well as application of conversion factors to determine on-balance
sheet equivalents of any off-balance sheet commitments to acquire equity exposures. For institutions that have made
the AOCI opt-out election, the adjusted carrying value of an on-balance sheet equity exposure, such as an equity
security with a readily determinable fair value not held for trading, is equal to the carrying value of the equity
exposure, i.e., the value of the asset on the balance sheet determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to §.51
for the precise definition.

In column B, a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election should include the
difference between the fair value and amortized cost of those AFS debt securities that do
not qualify as securitization exposures. This difference equals the amounts reported in
Schedule RC-B, items 1 through 6, column D, minus items 1 through 6, column C, for
those AFS debt securities included in these items that are not securitization exposures.
o When fair value exceeds cost, report the difference as a positive number in
Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column B.
o When cost exceeds fair value, report the difference as a negative number (i.e., with a
minus (-) sign) in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column B.

In column B, for a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election and has not adopted
ASU 2016-01:
o If AFS equity securities with readily determinable fair values have a net unrealized
gain (i.e., Schedule RC-B, item 7, column D, exceeds item 7, column C), the portion
of the net unrealized gain (55 percent) not included in Tier 2 capital should be
included in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column B. The portion that is not

Example: A bank reports an AFS debt security that is not a securitization exposure on its
balance sheet in Schedule RC, item 2.b, at a carrying value (i.e., fair value) of $105. The
amortized cost of the debt security is $100. The bank has made the AOCI opt-out
election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a. The AFS debt security has a $5 unrealized
gain that is included in AOCI. In Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, the bank would report
in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b:
a. $105 in column A. This is the carrying value of the AFS debt security on the bank’s
balance sheet.
b. $5 in column B. This is the difference between the carrying value (i.e., fair value) of
the debt security and its exposure amount that is subject to risk weighting. For a
bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election, column B will typically represent the
amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss on the security. Gains are reported
as positive numbers; losses as negative numbers. (Note: If the bank has not made
or cannot make the opt-out election, there will be no adjustment to be reported in
column B.)
c. $100 is the exposure amount subject to risk weighting. This amount will be reported
under the appropriate risk weight associated with the exposure (columns C through
J). For a bank that has made the opt-out election, the exposure amount typically will
be the carrying value (i.e., fair value) of the debt security excluding any unrealized
gain or loss.
In column B, for a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election and has adopted
ASU 2016-01, no amount should be included for equity securities and preferred stock
classified as an equity under GAAP with readily determinable fair values that are reported
in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 2.b, column A.

Schedule RC, item 26.b, “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” affecting assets as a
result of the initial and subsequent application of the funded status and measurement date
provisions of ASC Topic 715. The adjustment also should take into account subsequent
amortization of these amounts from AOCI into earnings. The intent of the adjustment
reported in this item (together with the amount reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 9.d) is

In columns R and S of item 8.b—Default Fund Contributions to Central Counterparties

R

Note: Item 8.b only applies to banks that are clearing members, and therefore will not be
applicable to the vast majority of banks. Banks must report the aggregate on-balance
sheet amount of default fund contributions to central counterparties (CCPs) in column A.
Banks must report the aggregate off-balance sheet amount, if any, of default fund
contributions to CCPs as a negative amount in column B of item 8. Banks must report
the aggregate on- and off-balance sheet amount of such contributions in column R. See
§.35(d) of the regulatory capital rules for more details.

D

Clearing Member Banks must report in column S the total amount of risk-weighted assets
for a clearing member bank’s default fund contributions to CCPs. This will be the sum of:
o Component A: the sum of risk-weighted assets for a clearing member bank’s default
fund contributions to all non-qualifying CCPs; and,
o Component B: the sum of risk-weighted assets for a clearing member bank’s default
fund contributions to all qualifying central counterparties (QCCPs).
Report the sum of Components A and B in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 8.b, column S.

Component A: risk-weighted asset amount for default fund contributions to non-qualifying
CCPs
As required by §.35(d)(2) of the regulatory capital rules, a clearing member bank’s
risk-weighted asset amount for default fund contributions to CCPs that are not QCCPs
equals the sum of such default fund contributions multiplied by 1,250 percent, or an
amount determined by the bank’s federal supervisor based on factors such as size,
structure and membership characteristics of the CCP and riskiness of its transactions,

unlimited. Therefore, unless otherwise advised by its supervisor or through agencyissued guidance, a bank will sum each of its non-QCCP default fund contributions,
and multiply the total by 1,250 percent, and add any additional risk-weighted asset
amount determined by the agency, if any. This will be Component A above.

(cont.)

T

Component B: risk-weighted asset amount for default fund contributions to QCCPs
A clearing member bank’s risk-weighted asset amount for default fund contributions
to QCCPs equals the sum of its capital requirement, KCM for each QCCP, as
calculated under the methodology set forth in §.35(d)(3) or §.133(d) of the regulatory
capital rules provides.

AF

When a bank uses CEM to determine default fund contributions, the regulatory
capital rules provide two methods to determine the capital requirement for a clearing
member bank’s default fund contributions to a QCCP. A clearing member bank may
use either method. A clearing member bank’s risk-weighted asset amount for default
fund contributions to a QCCP equals the sum of its capital requirement, KCM, for each
QCCP as calculated under Method 1 multiplied by 1,250 percent, or under Method 2.

R

Method 1: The bank calculates the capital charge for a clearing member in a 3-step
process, depending on the funded status of the QCCP. The process is summarized
briefly below:
 Step 1: The bank must calculate the hypothetical capital requirement of all the
trades conducted through the QCCP as if the QCCP were a bank. This depends
on the type of trade and netting sets with each counterparty. Alternately, the
QCCP may provide this number to the clearing member.
 Step 2: The bank compares the hypothetical capital requirement (calculated in
Step 1) to the funded default fund of the QCCP to include the internally funded
resources of the QCCP. This step determines the aggregate capital requirement
for all clearing members assuming a default of two average clearing members.
 Step 3: The aggregate capital requirement of all clearing members (assuming the
default of two members) is then allocated back to the individual clearing member
firm and converted to a risk-weighted asset amount.

D

Using the 3-step process and formulas provided in the regulatory capital rules, the
bank will determine a dollar capital requirement for its default fund contribution for
each QCCP (KCMi). The bank must then multiply each KCMi by 1,250 percent to
calculate the risk-weighted asset amount. The bank must sum the risk-weighted
assets calculated for each QCCP default fund contribution to produce a total riskweighted asset amount for all QCCP default fund contributions for which the bank
uses this method. For example, the total risk-weight asset amount for a bank with
default fund contributions to two QCCPs will be the sum of KCMi for QCCP A and KCMi
for QCCP B. This sum will be included in Component B above for all QCCPs for
which the bank uses Method 1.

Method 2: Under Method 2, the risk-weighted assets for a clearing member’s default
fund contribution is the minimum of:
 1,250 percent times the bank's funded contributions to the QCCP default fund,
or,
 18 percent times the total trade exposures of the member to the QCCP.

`

FFIEC 031 and 041

A bank will make this calculation for each QCCP for which it uses Method 2. The
sum of risk-weighted assets for all QCCP contributions for which the bank uses
Method 2 will be included in Component B above.

FFIEC 031 and 041

RC-R – REGULATORY CAPITAL

When a bank uses SA-CCR to determine default fund contributions, the regulatory
capital rules provide that a clearing member bank first calculates the hypothetical
capital requirement of the QCCP (KCCP), unless the QCCP has already disclosed it, in
which case the bank must rely on that disclosed figure. In either case, a bank may
choose to use a higher amount of KCCP than the minimum calculated under the
formula or disclosed by the QCCP if the bank has concerns about the nature,
structure, or characteristics of the QCCP.

T

For purposes of calculating KCCP, the PFE multiplier includes collateral held by a
QCCP in which the QCCP has a legal claim in the event of the default of the member
or client, including default fund contributions of that member. In addition, the QCCP
must use a margin period of risk of 10 days in the maturity factor adjustment.
Notwithstanding §.133(d)(5) and (6)(ii) of the regulatory capital rules, with the prior
approval of the regulator, a bank may rely on a hypothetical capital requirement of a
QCCP based on a methodology other than SA-CCR for calculating the exposure
amount of a clearing member of a QCCP to the QCCP.

A banking organization that elects to use SA-CCR is allowed to continue to use
method 1 or method 2 in under CEM to calculate the risk-weighted asset amount for
default fund contributions until January 1, 2022.

Example 2: A bank reports an AFS securitization exposure on its balance sheet in
Schedule RC, item 2.b, at a carrying value (i.e., fair value) of $105. The AFS securitization
exposure has a $5 unrealized gain that is included in AOCI. The AFS securitization exposure
also has $1 of accrued interest receivable that is reported in Schedule RC, item 11, and
included in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9.d, column A. The bank’s AFS securitization
exposure provides credit enhancement for an additional $800 in more senior securities.
Therefore, the bank will need to risk weight a $900 exposure composed of the carrying value
of its AFS securitization exposure, less the unrealized gain, plus the amount of the more
senior exposures that it supports. The bank has made the AOCI opt-out election in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a. The AFS securitization exposure will be risk weighted using
the Gross-Up Approach and the weighted-average risk weight of the underlying exposures is
100 percent. The bank would report in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9.b:
 $105 in column A. This is the carrying value of the AFS securitization exposure on the
bank’s balance sheet.
 $105 in column B. When the Gross-Up Approach is being used, the carrying value of the
AFS securitization exposure on the bank’s balance sheet, as reported in column A, of
item 9.b, is to be reported in column B. Because the bank has made the AOCI opt-out
election, the exposure amount to be risk weighted at the 100 percent weighted-average
risk weight is the $105 carrying value of the AFS securitization exposure, less the $5
unrealized gain on the exposure included in AOCI, plus the $1 accrued interest
receivable on the exposure (included in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 9.d, column A), plus
the additional $800 in more senior exposures that the AFS securitization exposure
supports, which equals $901.
 $901 in column U. This is the risk-weighted asset amount of the AFS securitization
exposure. This amount ($901) will be reported in item 9.b, column U—Gross-Up.

For other on-balance sheet securitization exposures where the bank cannot or has not made
the AOCI opt-out election (i.e., most AOCI is included in regulatory capital), the exposure
amount to be risk weighted by the bank is the exposure’s carrying value, which is the value of
the exposure reported on the balance sheet of the bank determined in accordance with
GAAP and in column A.

D

Exposure amount to be used for purposes of risk weighting – bank has made the AOCI
opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 3.a:
For other on-balance sheet securitization exposures where the bank has made the AOCI optout election (i.e., most AOCI is not included in regulatory capital), the exposure amount to be
risk weighted by the bank is the exposure’s carrying value, less any unrealized gain on the
exposure or plus any unrealized loss on the exposure included in AOCI. In column B, report
any difference between the carrying value and the exposure amount of those other onbalance sheet securitization exposures reported in column A of this item that will be risk

Exposure amount to be used for purposes of risk weighting
For an off-balance sheet securitization exposure that is not a repo-style transaction or eligible
margin loan for which the bank calculates an exposure amount under §.37 of the regulatory
capital rules, cleared transaction (other than a credit derivative), or over-the-counter (OTC)
derivative contract (other than a credit derivative), the exposure amount is the notional

For an off-balance sheet securitization exposure to an asset-backed commercial paper
(ABCP) program, such as an eligible ABCP liquidity facility, the notional amount may be
reduced to the maximum potential amount that the bank could be required to fund given the
ABCP program’s current underlying assets (calculated without regard to the current credit
quality of those assets).

The exposure amount of an eligible ABCP liquidity facility for which the Simplified
Supervisory Formula Approach (SSFA) does not apply is equal to the notional amount of the
exposure multiplied by a credit conversion factor (CCF) of 50 percent.
The exposure amount of an eligible ABCP liquidity facility for which the SSFA applies is equal
to the notional amount of the exposure multiplied by a CCF of 100 percent.

Repo-style Transactions – The regulatory capital rules permit some repo-style transactions to be risk
weighted on a netting set basis. Where netting is permitted, a bank will combine both on-balance and
off-balance sheet repo-style transactions in order to determine a capital requirement for a netting set to
a single counterparty. In such cases, a bank should combine securities purchased under agreements to
resell (i.e., reverse repos) and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (i.e., repos) with
off-balance sheet repo-style transactions (i.e., securities borrowing and securities lending transactions)
in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 16, and report the netting set exposure to each counterparty under the
appropriate risk weight column.

For retained recourse on small business obligations sold with recourse that qualify as
securitization exposures, please see §.42(h) of the regulatory capital rule for purposes of risk
weighting and report these exposures in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 10.

Under Section 208 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act
of 1994, a "qualifying institution" that transfers small business loans and leases on personal
property (small business obligations) with recourse in a transaction that qualifies as a sale
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) must maintain risk-based capital only
against the amount of recourse retained, provided the institution establishes a recourse
liability account that is sufficient under GAAP. Only loans and leases to businesses that meet
the criteria for a small business concern established by the Small Business Administration
under Section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632 et seq.) are eligible for this
favorable risk-based capital treatment.

R

In general, a "qualifying institution" is one that is well capitalized without regard to the
Section 208 provisions. If a bank ceases to be a qualifying institution or exceeds the retained
recourse limit set forth in banking agency regulations implementing Section 208, all new
transfers of small business obligations with recourse would not be treated as sales.
However, the reporting and risk-based capital treatment described above will continue to
apply to any transfers of small business obligations with recourse that were consummated
during the time the bank was a "qualifying institution" and did not exceed the limit.
In column B, report 100 percent of the amount reported in column A.

R

For repo-style transactions to which the bank applies the Simple Approach to recognize the
risk-mitigating effects of qualifying financial collateral, as outlined in §.37 of the regulatory
capital rules, the exposure amount to be reported in column A is the sum of the fair value as
of the report date of securities the bank has lent,17 the amount of cash or the fair value as of
the report date of other collateral the bank has posted for securities borrowed, the amount of
cash provided to the counterparty for securities purchased under agreements to resell (as
reported in Schedule RC, item 3.b), and the fair value as of the report date of securities sold
under agreements to repurchase.
For repo-style transactions to which the bank applies the Collateral Haircut Approach to
recognize the risk-mitigating effects of qualifying financial collateral, as outlined in §.37 of the
regulatory capital rules, the exposure amount to be reported in column A for a repo-style
transaction or a single-product netting set of such transactions is determined by using the
exposure amount equation in §.37(c) of the regulatory capital rules.

D

A bank may apply either the Simple Approach or the Collateral Haircut Approach to repostyle transactions; however, the bank must use the same approach for similar exposures or
transactions. For further information, see the discussion of “Treatment of Collateral and
Guarantees” in the General Instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II.

Although securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
are reported on the balance sheet (Schedule RC) as assets and liabilities, respectively, they are included with
securities lent and securities borrowed and designated as repo-style transactions that are treated collectively as
off-balance sheet items under the regulatory capital rules.

For held-to-maturity securities that have been lent, the amortized cost of these securities is reported in
Schedule RC-L, item 6.a, but the fair value of these securities should be reported as the exposure amount in

Examples: Reporting Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repos) under the
Simple Approach for Recognizing the Effects of Collateral

§.37 of the regulatory capital rules provides for the recognition of the risk-mitigating effects of
collateral when risk weighting assets collateralized by financial collateral (which is defined in
§.2 of the regulatory capital rules). The following examples illustrate the calculation of riskweighted assets and the reporting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repos)
in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 16, using the Simple Approach.

R

Example 1: Security sold under an agreement to repurchase fully collateralized by cash
A bank has transferred an available-for-sale (AFS) debt security to a counterparty in a repo
transaction that is accounted for as a secured borrowing on the bank’s balance sheet. The
bank received $100 in cash from the repo counterparty in this transaction. The amortized
cost and the fair value of the AFS debt security are both $100 as of the report date.18 The
debt security is an exposure to a U.S. government-sponsored entity (GSE) that qualifies for a
20 percent risk weight. The repo counterparty is a company that would receive a 100 percent
risk weight.
Calculation of risk-weighted assets for the transaction:

D

1. The bank continues to report the AFS GSE debt security as an asset on its balance sheet
and to risk weight the security as an on-balance sheet asset at 20 percent:19
$100 x 20% = $20
2. The bank has a $100 exposure to the repo counterparty (the report date fair value of the
security transferred to the counterparty) that is collateralized by the $100 of cash
received from the counterparty. The bank risk weights its exposure to the repo
counterparty at zero percent in recognition of the cash received in the transaction from
the counterparty: $100 x 0% = $0
Part II. (cont.)

18 In both Example 1 and Example 2, because the fair value carrying value of the AFS GSE debt security equals the
amortized cost of the debt security, a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election in Schedule RC-R, Part I,
item 3.a, does not need to adjust the carrying value (i.e., the fair value) of the debt security to determine the exposure
amount of the security. Thus, for a bank that has made the AOCI opt-out election, the carrying value of the AFS debt
security equals its exposure amount in Examples 1 and 2.

3. There is no additional exposure to the repo counterparty to risk weight because the
exposure to the counterparty is fully collateralized by the cash received.
The total risk-weighted assets arising from the transaction: $20
The bank would report the transaction in Schedule RC-R, Part II, as follows:

T

1. The bank reports the AFS debt security in item 2.b:
a. The $100 carrying value (i.e., the fair value) of the AFS debt security on the balance
sheet will be reported in column A.20
b. The $100 exposure amount of the AFS debt security will be reported in column G–
20% risk weight (which is the applicable risk weight for a U.S. GSE debt security).

AF

2. The bank reports the repurchase agreement in item 16:
a. The bank’s $100 exposure to the repo counterparty, which is the fair value of the
debt security transferred in the repo transaction, is the exposure amount to be
reported in column A.
b. The $100 credit equivalent amount of the bank’s exposure to the repo counterparty
will be reported in column B.
c. Because the bank’s exposure to the repo counterparty is fully collateralized by the
$100 of cash received from the counterparty, the $100 credit equivalent amount of
the repurchase agreement will be reported in column C–0% risk weight (which is the
applicable risk weight for cash collateral).

Example 2: Security sold under an agreement to repurchase (repo) not fully collateralized by
cash
A bank has transferred an AFS debt security to a counterparty in a repo transaction that is
accounted for as a secured borrowing on the bank’s balance sheet. The bank received $98
in cash from the repo counterparty in this transaction. The amortized cost and the fair value
of the AFS debt security are both $100 as of the report date.21 The debt security is an
exposure to a U.S. GSE that qualifies for a 20 percent risk weight. The repo counterparty is a
company that would receive a 100 percent risk weight.

Calculation of risk-weighted assets for the transaction:

T

1. The bank continues to report the AFS GSE debt security as an asset on its balance sheet
and to risk weight the security as an on-balance sheet asset at 20 percent:22
$100 x 20% = $20
2. The bank has a $100 exposure to the repo counterparty (the report date fair value of the
security transferred to the counterparty) of which $98 is collateralized by the cash
received from the counterparty. The bank risk weights the portion of its exposure to the
repo counterparty that is collateralized by the cash received from the counterparty at zero
percent: $98 x 0% = $0
3. The bank risk weights its $2 uncollateralized exposure to the repo counterparty using the
risk weight applicable to the counterparty: $2 x 100% = $2
The total risk-weighted assets arising from the transaction: $22

AF

The bank would report the transaction in Schedule RC-R, Part II, as follows:

1. The bank reports the AFS debt security in item 2.b:
a. The $100 carrying value (i.e., the fair value) of the AFS debt security on the balance
sheet will be reported in column A.23
b. The $100 exposure amount of the AFS debt security will be reported in column G–
20% risk weight (which is the applicable risk weight for a U.S. GSE debt security).

R

2. The bank reports the repurchase agreement in item 16:
a. The bank’s $100 exposure to the repo counterparty, which is the fair value of the
debt security transferred in the repo transaction, is the exposure amount to be
reported in column A.
b. The $100 credit equivalent amount of the bank’s exposure to the repo counterparty
will be reported in column B.
c. Because the bank’s exposure to the repo counterparty is collateralized by the $98 of
cash received from the counterparty, $98 of the $100 credit equivalent amount of the
repurchase agreement will be reported in column C–0% risk weight (which is the
applicable risk weight for cash collateral).
d. The $2 uncollateralized exposure to the repo counterparty will be reported in
column I–100% risk weight (which is the applicable risk weight for the repo
counterparty).

Schedule RC-R, Part II, in the appropriate balance sheet or off-balance sheet category –
e.g., item 5, “Loans and leases held for investment” – and in the risk-weight category
applicable to the derivative counterparty – e.g., column G–20% risk weight – rather than

24 The definition of credit-enhancing representations and warranties in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules states that
such representations and warranties obligate an institution “to protect another party from losses arising from the
credit risk of the underlying exposures” and “include provisions to protect a party from losses resulting from the
default or nonperformance of the counterparties of the underlying exposures or from an insufficiency in the value of
the collateral backing the underlying exposures.” Thus, when loans or other assets are sold “with recourse” and the
recourse arrangement provides protection from losses as described in the preceding definition, the recourse
arrangement constitutes a credit-enhancing representation and warranty.

1-4 family residential properties, a bank is deemed able to unconditionally cancel the
commitment if, at its option, it can prohibit additional extensions of credit, reduce the credit
line, and terminate the commitment to the full extent permitted by relevant federal law. Retail
credit cards and related plans, including overdraft checking plans and overdraft protection
programs, are defined to be short-term commitments that should be converted at zero
percent and included in this item if the bank has the unconditional right to cancel the line of
credit at any time in accordance with applicable law.

The The credit equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract to be reported in column B is
determined under one of two methods, the current exposure method (CEM), as described in
§.34(b) of the regulatory capital rules, or the standardized approach for counterparty credit
risk (SA-CCR), as described in §.132(c) of the regulatory capital rules. Under the regulatory
capital rules, a non-advanced approaches institution may elect to use CEM or SA-CCR to
determine the credit equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract, as of April 1, 2020. A
non-advanced approaches institution must notify its appropriate federal banking supervisor
before using SA-CCR. A non-advanced approaches institution must use the same
methodology – CEM or SA-CCR – to calculate the exposure amount for all its derivative
contracts, including centrally cleared derivative transactions, and may change its election
only with the prior approval of its appropriate federal banking supervisor. An advanced
approaches institution must use, as of January 1, 2022, SA-CCR to determine the credit
equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract. However, such an institution may elect to
use SA-CCR to determine the credit equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract, as of
April 1, 2020, by notifying its appropriate federal banking supervisor.

When using CEM, the credit equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract to be reported
in column B is the sum of its current credit exposure (as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II,
Memorandum item 1) plus the potential future exposure (PFE) over the remaining life of the
derivative contract (regardless of its current credit exposure, if any), as described in §.34 of
the regulatory capital rules. The current credit exposure of a derivative contract is (1) the fair
value of the contract when that fair value is positive and (2) zero when the fair value of the
contract is negative or zero. The PFEpotential future credit exposure of a derivative contract,
which is based on the type of contract and the contract's remaining maturity, is determined by
multiplying the notional principal amount of the contract by the appropriate conversion factor
from the following chart.

Under the banking agencies' regulatory capital rules and for purposes of Schedule RC-R,
Part II, the existence of a legally enforceable bilateral netting agreement between the
reporting bank and a counterparty may be taken into consideration when determining both
the current credit exposure and the potential future exposure of derivative contracts.
For further information on the treatment of bilateral netting agreements covering derivative
contracts, refer to the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part II, Memorandum item 1, and §.34
of the regulatory capital rules.

When assigning OTC derivative exposures to risk-weight categories, banks can recognize
the risk-mitigating effects of financial collateral by using either the Simple Approach or the
Collateral Haircut Approach, as described in §.37 of the regulatory capital rules.

D

When using SA-CCR, the credit equivalent amount of an OTC derivative contract to be
reported in column B is the sum of its current credit exposure (as reported in Schedule RC-R,
Part II, Memorandum item 1) plus the potential future exposure over the remaining life of the
derivative contract (regardless of its current credit exposure, if any), as described in §.133 of
the regulatory capital rules. When using SA-CCR, a bank should use the value of the
replacement cost amount for its current credit exposure.

An OTC derivative includes a transaction:
(1) Between an institution that is a clearing member and a counterparty where the institution is acting as a financial
intermediary and enters into a cleared transaction with a central counterparty (CCP) that offsets the transaction
with the counterparty; or
(2) In which an institution that is a clearing member provides a CCP a guarantee on the performance of the
counterparty to the transaction.

Under SA-CCR, the determination of the replacement cost depends on whether the
counterparty to a bank is required to post variation margin. The replacement cost for a
netting set that is not subject to a variation margin agreement is equal to the greater of (1) the
sum of the fair values (after excluding any valuation adjustments) of the derivative contracts
within the netting set, less the net independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative
contracts, or (2) zero. For a netting set that is subject to a variation margin agreement where
the counterparty is required to post variation margin, replacement cost is equal to the greater
of (1) the sum of the fair values (after excluding any valuation adjustments) of the derivative
contracts within the netting set, less the sum of the net independent collateral amount and the
variation margin amount applicable to such derivative contracts; (2) the sum of the variation
margin threshold and the minimum transfer amount applicable to the derivative contracts
within the netting set, less the net independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative
contracts; or (3) zero. The SA-CCR PFE is equal to the product of the PFE multiplier and the
aggregated amount. To determine the aggregated amount, a bank is required to determine
the hedging set amounts for the derivative contracts within a netting set, where a hedging set
is comprised of derivative contracts that share similar risk factors based on asset class (e.g.,
interest rate, exchange rate, credit, equity, and commodity).

The credit equivalent amount of a centrally cleared derivative contract to be reported in
column B is determined under either §.35 or §.133 of the regulatory capital rules. Under the
regulatory capital rules, a non-advanced approaches institution that elects to calculate the
exposure amount for its OTC derivative contracts using the standardized approach for
counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR), as described in §.132(c), must apply the treatment of
cleared transactions under §.133 to its derivative contracts that are cleared transactions and
to all default fund contributions associated with such derivative contracts, rather than applying
§.35. A non-advanced approaches institution must use the same methodology ‒ the current
exposure method (CEM) or SA-CCR ‒ to calculate the exposure amount for all its derivative
contracts and may change its election only with the prior approval of its appropriate federal
banking supervisor. An advanced approaches institution must apply the treatment of cleared
transactions under §.133 of the regulatory capital rules to its derivative contracts that are
cleared transactions and to all default fund contributions associated with such derivative
contracts.
When using CEM, the credit equivalent amount of a centrally cleared derivative contract is
the sum of its current credit exposure (as reported in Schedule RC-R, Memorandum item 1),
plus the potential future exposure (PFE) over the remaining life of the derivative contract,
plus the fair value of collateral posted by the clearing member client bank and held by the
CCP or a clearing member in a manner that is not bankruptcy remote. The current credit
exposure of a derivative contract is (1) the fair value of the contract when that fair value is
positive and (2) zero when the fair value of the contract is negative or zero. The potential
future credit exposurePFE of a derivative contract, which is based on the type of contract and
the contract's remaining maturity, is determined by multiplying the notional principal amount
of the contract by the appropriate conversion factor from the following chart.

When using SA-CCR, the credit equivalent amount of a centrally cleared derivative contract
is the sum of its current credit exposure (as reported in Schedule RC-R, Memorandum
item 1), plus the PFE over the remaining life of the derivative contract, plus the fair value of
collateral posted by the clearing member client bank and held by the CCP or a clearing
member in a manner that is not bankruptcy remote. When using SA-CCR, a bank should use
the value of the replacement cost amount for its current credit exposure.

R

Under SA-CCR, the determination of the replacement cost depends on whether the
counterparty to a bank is required to post variation margin. The replacement cost for a netting
set that is not subject to a variation margin agreement is equal to the greater of (1) the sum of
the fair values (after excluding any valuation adjustments) of the derivative contracts within
the netting set, less the net independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative
contracts, or (2) zero. For a netting set that is subject to a variation margin agreement where
the counterparty is required to post variation margin, replacement cost is equal to the greater
of (1) the sum of the fair values (after excluding any valuation adjustments) of the derivative
contracts within the netting set, less the sum of the net independent collateral amount and the
variation margin amount applicable to such derivative contracts; (2) the sum of the variation
margin threshold and the minimum transfer amount applicable to the derivative contracts
within the netting set, less the net independent collateral amount applicable to such derivative
contracts; or (3) zero. The SA-CCR PFE is equal to the product of the PFE multiplier and the
aggregated amount. To determine the aggregated amount, a bank is required to determine
the hedging set amounts for the derivative contracts within a netting set, where a hedging set
is comprised of derivative contracts that share similar risk factors based on asset class (e.g.,
interest rate, exchange rate, credit, equity, and commodity).

D

When using the SA-CCR method, a bank may elect to treat settled-to-market derivative
contracts as subject to a variation margin agreement and receive the benefits of netting with
collateralized-to-market derivative contracts. If a bank elects to treat settled-to-market
derivative contracts as subject to a variation margin agreement, it must apply the maturity
factor to such contracts under §.132(c)(9)(iv)(A) of the regulatory capital rules. The maturity
factor of a derivative contract that is subject to a variation margin agreement, excluding
derivative contracts that are subject to a variation margin agreement under which the
counterparty is not required to post variation margin, is determined by the following formula:

where MPOR refers to the period from the most recent exchange of collateral under a
variation margin agreement with a defaulting counterparty until the derivative contracts are
closed out and the resulting market risk is re-hedged.

For institutions that have adopted the current expected credit losses methodology (CECL),
the risk-weighted assets base reported in this item 26 is for purposes of calculating the
adjusted allowances for credit losses (AACL) 1.25 percent threshold.

NOTE: Item 27 is applicable only to banks that are subject to the market risk capital rule.
Standardized market risk-weighted assets. Report the amount of the bank's standardized

A bank’s measure for market risk for its covered positions is the sum of its value-at-risk
(VaR)-based, stressed VaR-based, incremental risk, and comprehensive risk capital
requirements plus its specific risk add-ons and any capital requirement for de minimis
exposures. A bank's market risk-weighted assets equal its measure for market risk multiplied
by 12.5 (the reciprocal of the minimum 8.0 percent capital ratio).
A covered position is a trading asset or trading liability (whether on- or off-balance sheet), as
reported on Schedule RC-D, that is held for any of the following reasons:

rule, except for foreign exchange derivatives that are outside of the trading account. Foreign

Caption and Instructions

Include the current credit exposure arising from credit derivative contracts where the bank is
the protection purchaser (beneficiary) and the credit derivative contract is either (a) defined
as a covered position under the market risk capital rule or (b) not defined as a covered
position under the market risk capital rule and not recognized as a guarantee for regulatory
capital purposes.
As discussed further below, current credit exposure (sometimes referred to as the
replacement cost) is the fair value of a derivative contract when that fair value is positive.
The current credit exposure is zero when the fair value is negative or zero.

R

Exclude the positive fair value of derivative contracts that are neither over-the-counter
derivative contracts nor derivative contracts that are cleared transactions under §.2 of the
regulatory capital rules. Such derivative contracts include written option contracts, including
so-called “derivative loan commitments,” i.e., a lender’s commitment to originate a mortgage
loan that will be held for resale. Written option contracts that are, in substance, financial
guarantees, are discussed below. For “derivative loan commitments,” which are reported as
over-the-counter written option contracts in Schedule RC-L, if the fair value of such a
commitment is positive and reported as an asset in Schedule RC, item 11, this positive fair
value should be reported in the appropriate risk-weight category in Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 8, and not as a component of the current credit exposure to be reported in this item.

D

Purchased options held by the reporting bank that are traded on an exchange are covered by
the regulatory capital rules unless such options are subject to a daily variation margin.
Variation margin is defined as the gain or loss on open positions, calculated by marking to
market at the end of each trading day. Such gain or loss is credited or debited by the
clearing house to each clearing member's account, and by members to their customers'
accounts.

If a written option contract acts as a financial guarantee that does not meet the definition of a
securitization exposure as described in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules, then for risk-based
capital purposes the notional amount of the option should be included in Schedule RC-R,
Part II, item 17, column A, as part of "All other off-balance sheet liabilities." An example of
such a contract occurs when the reporting bank writes a put option to a second bank that has
a loan to a third party. The strike price would be the equivalent of the par value of the loan. If
the credit quality of the loan deteriorates, thereby reducing the value of the loan to the second
bank, the reporting bank would be required by the second bank to take the loan onto its
books.

T

Current credit exposure, when using CEM, or replacement cost, when using SA-CCR, should
be derived as follows: Determine whether a qualifying master netting agreement, as defined
in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules, is in place between the reporting bank and a
counterparty. If such an agreement is in place, the fair values of all applicable derivative
contracts with that counterparty that are included in the netting agreement are netted to a
single amount.

Notional principal amounts of over-the-counter derivative contracts. Report in the
appropriate subitem and column the notional amount or par value of all over-the-counter
(OTC) derivative contracts, including credit derivatives, that are subject to §.34 or §.132 of
the regulatory capital rules.28 Such contracts include swaps, forwards, and purchased
options. Do not include OTC derivative contracts that meet the definition of a securitization
exposure as described in §.2 of the regulatory capital rules; such derivative contracts must be
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 10. Report notional amounts and par values in the
column corresponding to the OTC derivative contract's remaining term to maturity from the
report date. Remaining maturities are to be reported as (1) one year or less in column A,
(2) over one year through five years in column B, or (3) over five years in column C.

Next, for all other derivative contracts covered by the regulatory capital rules that have
positive fair values, the total of the positive fair values is determined. Then, report in this item
the sum of (i) the net positive fair values of applicable derivative contracts subject to
qualifying master netting agreements and (ii) the total positive fair values of all other contracts
covered by the regulatory capital rules for both OTC and centrally cleared contracts. The
current credit exposure reported in this item is a component of the credit equivalent amount
of derivative contracts that is to be reported in Schedule RC-R, items 20 or 21, column B,
depending on whether the contracts are centrally cleared.

Regardless of whether an institution uses the standardized approach for counterparty credit
risk (SA-CCR) or the current exposure methodology (CEM) to calculate exposure amounts
for its derivative contracts, report in Memorandum items 2.a through 2.g the notional amounts
of the contracts, as this term is defined in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
unless a derivative contract has a multiplier component as discussed in the following
paragraph.

The notional amount or par value to be reported under SA-CCR and CEM for an OTC
derivative contract with a multiplier component is the contract's effective notional amount or
par value. (For example, a swap contract with a stated notional amount of $1,000,000 whose
terms call for quarterly settlement of the difference between 5 percent and LIBOR multiplied
by 10 has an effective notional amount of $10,000,000.)

NOTE: Memorandum items 4.a through 4.c should be completed only by institutions that have adopted
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13), which governs the accounting for
credit losses. Institutions that have not adopted ASU 2016-13 should leave Memorandum items 4.a
through 4.c blank.

Amount of allowances for credit losses on purchased credit-deteriorated assets.
ASU 2016-13 introduces the concept of purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets as a
replacement for purchased credit-impaired (PCI) assets. The PCD asset definition covers a
broader range of assets than the PCI asset definition. As defined in ASU 2016-13,
“purchased credit-deteriorated assets” are acquired individual financial assets (or acquired
groups of financial assets with similar risk characteristics) accounted for in accordance with
ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments‒Credit Losses, that, as of the date of acquisition, have
experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as
determined by the acquiring institution’s assessment.

R

ASU 2016-13 requires institutions to estimate and record a credit loss allowance for a PCD
asset at the time of purchase. The credit loss allowance is then added to the purchase price
to determine the amortized cost basis of the asset for financial reporting purposes.
Post-acquisition increases in credit loss allowances on PCD assets will be established
through a charge to earnings. This accounting treatment for PCD assets is different from the
current treatment of PCI assets, for which institutions are not permitted to estimate and
recognize credit loss allowances at the time of purchase. Rather, in general, credit loss
allowances for PCI assets are estimated subsequent to the purchase only if there is
deterioration in the expected cash flows from the assets.

Loans and leases held for investment. Report all allowances for credit losses on PCD
loans and leases held for investment.

Held-to-maturity debt securities. Report all allowances for credit losses on PCD held-tomaturity debt securities.

Amount of the institution’s largest counterparty exposure. Report on a fully consolidated
basis the amount of total exposure to the counterparty to which the institution has the largest
total counterparty exposure.

T

Counterparty exposure is equal to the sum of (1) the institution’s exposure amounts to one
counterparty (or borrower) for derivatives, securities financing transactions (SFTs), and
cleared transactions, and (2) its gross lending exposure (including all unfunded
commitments) to that counterparty (or borrower).

AF

A counterparty includes an entity’s own affiliates, including its parent company. Exposures to
entities that are affiliates of each other (including a bank’s own affiliates) should be
aggregated and treated as an exposure to a single counterparty (or borrower). Counterparty
exposure excludes all counterparty exposure to the U.S. Government and departments or
agencies of the U.S. Government that is unconditionally guaranteed by the full faith and credit
of the United States.

The exposure amount for derivatives, including over-the-counter derivatives, cleared
transactions that are derivative contracts, and netting sets of derivative contracts, must be
calculated using the methodology set forth in 12 CFR 324.34(ab), but without any reduction
for collateral other than cash collateral that is all or part of variation margin and that satisfies
the requirements of 12 CFR 324.10(c)(4)(ii)(C)(1)(ii) and (iii) and 324.10(c)(4)(ii)(C)(3) – (7).
The exposure amount associated with SFTs, including cleared transactions that are SFTs,
must be calculated using the standardized approach set forth in 12 CFR 324.37(b) or (c). For
both derivatives and SFT exposures, the exposure amount to central counterparties must
also include the default fund contribution.1
Total amount of the institution’s 20 largest counterparty exposures. Report on a fully
consolidated basis the sum of the total exposure amounts to the 20 counterparties to which
the institution has the 20 largest total counterparty exposures.

D

Counterparty exposure should be measured as described in the instructions for
Schedule RC-O, Memorandum item 14, above.

SFTs include repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, security lending and borrowing, and
margin lending transactions, where the value of the transactions depends on market valuations and the transactions
are often subject to margin agreements. The default fund contribution is the funds contributed or commitments made
by a clearing member to a central counterparty’s mutualized loss sharing arrangement. The other terms used in this
description are as defined in 12 CFR Part 324, Subparts A and D, unless defined otherwise in 12 CFR Part 327.
