(MA)-Reports of Condition and Income (Interagency Call Report)

September 2020 COVID-19 Related Supplemental Instructions (Call Report)
In light of the disruptions in economic conditions caused by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19),
one or all of the banking agencies have issued interim final rules (IFR) and final rules that revise certain
aspects of the agencies’ regulatory capital rule, amend the Federal Reserve Board’s (Board)
Regulation D on reserve requirements, and except certain insider loans from the Board’s Regulation O.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) also adopted a final rule modifying its deposit
insurance assessment rules. In addition, Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) provides optional temporary relief from accounting for eligible loan
modifications as troubled debt restructurings, which the agencies discussed in an Interagency Statement
on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the
Coronavirus (Revised) issued April 7, 2020.
As the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) previously advised, the agencies have
received approvals from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to implement changes to the three
versions of the Call Report (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051) arising from these interim final rules,
the FDIC’s final rule, and Section 4013 of the CARES Act (see FIL-38-2020 dated April 9, 2020, and
FIL-60-2020 dated June 12, 2020). The reporting changes either took effect as of March 31, 2020, or
June 30, 2020. The agencies have requested public comment on these changes in reporting through the
standard Paperwork Reduction Act process. 1
These Call Report revisions include:
1) Updates to the instructions for the calculation of certain amounts reported on Schedule RC-R,
Regulatory Capital, to implement the changes to the Regulatory Capital Rule listed below.
2) New items on Call Report Schedule RC-C, Part I, Loans and Leases, and Schedule RC-M,
Memoranda, to collect data on:
a. Eligible loan modifications under Section 4013, Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt
Restructurings, of the 2020 CARES Act, with these items collected on a confidential basis;
b. U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and
borrowings under the Federal Reserve PPP Liquidity Facility (PPPLF); and
c. Holdings of assets purchased under the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF).
The agencies expect the collection of these new items to be time-limited.
3) Revisions to the definitions of certain deposits reported on Call Report Schedule RC-E, Deposit
Liabilities, in response to an IFR amending the Board’s Regulation D (12 CFR 204).
4) Changes to the reporting on extensions of credit to insiders on Call Report Schedule RC-M,
Memoranda, in response to a Board IFR that excepts certain loans guaranteed under the SBA’s PPP
from the requirements of section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the corresponding provisions
of the Board's Regulation O (12 CFR 215).
These September 2020 COVID-19 Related Supplemental Instructions update, as appropriate, and
replace the “June 2020 COVID-19 Related Supplemental Instructions (Call Report)” issued by the
agencies on July 10, 2020, as an attachment to FIL-69-2020, “Consolidated Reports of Condition and
Income for Second Quarter 2020,” and posted on the FFIEC’s webpages for the three versions of the
Call Report. The FFIEC 031-FFIEC 041 Call Report instruction book and the FFIEC 051 Call Report
instruction book will be updated to incorporate relevant information from these September 2020
COVID-19 Related Supplemental Instructions after the agencies have completed the standard Paperwork
Reduction Act process for these Call Report revisions.

1. Change in the Definition of Eligible Retained Income
The instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 53, have been revised to incorporate revisions reflected
in the interim final rule published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2020. The interim final rule revises
the definition of eligible retained income to make any automatic limitations on capital distributions that
could apply under the agencies’ capital rules more gradual. Beginning with the March 31, 2020, report
date, institutions that are required to report amounts in item 53 should using the following instructions.
On October 8, 2020, the banking agencies published a final rule confirming the revisions made in the
interim final rule without any changes.
Item No.
53

Caption and Instructions
Eligible retained income. Report the amount of eligible retained income as the greater of
(1) the reporting institution’s net income for the four preceding calendar quarters, net of any
distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income, and (2) the
average of the reporting institution’s net income over the four preceding calendar quarters.
(See the instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 54, for the definition of “distributions”
from section 2 of the regulatory capital rules.)
For purposes of this item 53, the four preceding calendar quarters refers to the calendar
quarter ending on the last day of the current reporting period and the three preceding
calendar quarters as illustrated in the example below. The average of an institution’s net
income over the four preceding calendar quarters refers to the average of three-month net
income for the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the current reporting period and the
three-month net income for the three preceding calendar quarters as illustrated in the
example below.
Example and a worksheet calculation:
Assumptions:

March 31, 2020) in this example are $400 in each of the four preceding calendar
quarters.

Calculate an institution’s net income for the four preceding calendar
quarters, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already
reflected in net income.
Calculate the average of an institution’s three-month net income over the
four preceding calendar quarters.
Take the greater of step (1) and step (2) and report the amount in Schedule
RC-R, Part I, item 53.

*From a practical perspective, an institution may use the year-to-date net income reflected in
Schedule RI, item 14, for December 31, 2019; subtract from it the net income reflected in
Schedule RI, item 14, for March 31, 2019; and then add the net income in Schedule RI, item
14, for March 31, 2020, to calculate the numerator in step 2, above. For the example above,
the average of an institution’s three-month net income over the four preceding calendar
quarters would be: ($1,900 (D) less $400 (A) plus $200 (E)) divided by 4 = $425.

2. Interim Final Rule for the Money Market Liquidity Facility (MMLF)
To enhance the liquidity and functioning of money markets, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB)
launched the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF) on March 18, 2020. On March 23,
2020, the agencies published an interim final rule, which permits banking organizations to exclude from
regulatory capital requirements exposures related to the MMLF. The banking agencies adopted a final
rule confirming the revisions made in the interim final rule without any changes in September 2020.
The interim final rule modifies the agencies’ capital rule to allow banking organizations to neutralize the
effects of purchasing assets through the MMLF on their risk-based and leverage capital ratios. This
treatment extends to the community bank leverage ratio. Specifically, a banking organization may
exclude from its total leverage exposure, average total consolidated assets, standardized total riskweighted assets, and advanced approaches total risk-weighted assets, as applicable, any exposure
acquired pursuant to a non-recourse loan from the MMLF. The interim final rule only applies to activities
with the MMLF. The facility is currently scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2020, unless the facility
is extended by the Federal Reserve Board.
Consistent with U.S, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the agencies would expect
banking organizations to report assets purchased from money market mutual funds under the MMLF on
their balance sheets. To be eligible collateral for pledging to the FRBB, assets must be purchased from
an eligible money market mutual fund at either the seller’s amortized cost or fair value. Thereafter,
banking organizations would subsequently measure the assets at amortized cost or fair value depending
on the asset category in which the assets are reported on their balance sheets. The non-recourse nature
of the transaction through the MMLF would impact the valuation of the liability to the FRBB. After
reflecting any appropriate discounts on the assets purchased and the associated liabilities, organizations
5

are not expected to report any material net gains or losses (if any) at the time of purchase. Any discounts
generally would be accreted over time into income and expense.
Starting with the March 31, 2020, report date, institutions would include their holdings of assets
purchased from money market mutual funds under the MMLF in the appropriate asset category on
Schedule RC, Balance Sheet, and Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital. On Schedule RC, banking
organizations would report negotiable certificates of deposit not held for trading in item 1.b, held-tomaturity securities in item 2.a, available-for-sale (AFS) securities in item 2.b, and negotiable certificates of
deposit and securities held for trading in item 5, as appropriate. 4 For regulatory capital reporting
purposes, the balance sheet amounts of assets purchased through the MMLF would be reported in both
Column A (Totals From Schedule RC) and Column C (0% risk-weight category) of the corresponding
balance sheet asset categories of Schedule RC-R, Part II (i.e., in items 1, 2.a, 2.b, and 7, respectively). 5
If a consolidated broker-dealer subsidiary of an institution has purchased assets from money market
mutual funds under the MMLF that the institution reports as “Other assets” on its consolidated balance
sheet for financial reporting purposes, the institution should also report these assets in Schedule RC,
Balance Sheet, item 11, “Other assets.” Further, for risk-based capital reporting purposes, if applicable,
the parent institution of the broker-dealer should report these assets in Column A (Totals From
Schedule RC) and Column C (0% risk-weight category) of Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 8, “All other
assets.”
The quarterly average of an institution’s holdings of assets purchased under the MMLF, including those
purchased by a consolidated broker-dealer subsidiary of the institution, would be included as a deduction
in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 29, “LESS: Other deductions from (additions to) assets for leverage ratio
purposes,” and thus excluded from Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 30, “Total assets for the leverage ratio.”
Advanced approaches banking organizations should not include assets purchased under the MMLF in
“Total risk-weighted assets (RWAs)” reported in the FFIEC 101, Schedule A, item 60, or Schedule RC-R,
Part I, item 48.b. Institutions subject to the supplementary leverage ratio requirement would report their
adjusted “Total leverage exposure” and “Supplementary leverage ratio” in Schedule RC-R, Part I, items
55.a and 55.b, respectively. These institutions would adjust their existing calculations of “Total leverage
exposure” by excluding assets purchased from money market mutual funds under the MMLF.
Borrowings from the FRBB would be included in Schedule RC, item 16, “Other borrowed money,” and
included in Schedule RC-M, items 5.b.(1)(a), Other borrowings with a remaining maturity or next repricing
date of “One year or less,” 5.b.(2), “Other borrowings with a remaining maturity of one year or less,” and
10.b, “Amount of ‘Other borrowings’ that are secured.”
Furthermore, beginning with the June 30, 2020, report date, institutions should report the “Outstanding
balance of assets purchased under the MMLF” in Schedule RC-M, item 18.a, and the “Quarterly average
amount of assets purchased under the MMLF and excluded from ‘Total assets for the leverage ratio’
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 30,” in Schedule RC-M, item 18.b. See Appendix B for detailed
line item instructions for Schedule RC-M, items 18.a and 18.b. See Section 6, Final Rule for
Assessments, Mitigating the Deposit Insurance Assessment Effect of Participation in the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP), the PPP Liquidity Facility (PPPLF), and the Money Market Mutual Fund
Liquidity Facility (MMLF), below for further information.

In addition, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities would be reported by securities category in
Schedule RC-B, Securities, and as pledged securities in Memorandum item 1 of this schedule on all three versions of
the Call Report. Negotiable certificates of deposit and securities held for trading would be reported by asset category
in Schedule RC-D, Trading Assets and Liabilities, by institutions required to complete this schedule on the FFIEC 031
and the FFIEC 041. Securities held for trading also would be reported as pledged securities in Schedule RC-D,
Memorandum item 4.a, on the FFIEC 031.
5 Reporting in Schedule RC-R, Part II, applies only to institutions that do not have a community bank leverage ratio
framework election in effect as of the quarter-end report date, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a.

3. 5-Year 2020 CECL Transition Provision
These instructions are based on the CECL interim final rule issued by the banking agencies on March 27,
2020, the correcting amendment to the IFR issued on May 19, 2020, and the final rule issued on
September 30, 2020, that finalized the interim final rule and implemented limited revisions to the original
eligibility and calculation methodology. These instructions are intended to address application of the
regulatory transition in the final rule for eligible institutions.
Eligibility
An institution is eligible to use the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision if it adopts CECL under U.S.
GAAP as of the first day of a fiscal year that begins during the 2020 calendar year and:
(1) reports a decrease in retained earnings immediately upon adoption of CECL; or
(2) would report a positive Modified CECL Transitional Amount (as defined below) in any quarter
ending in 2020 after adopting CECL.
An institution must make its election in calendar year 2020 on the first Call Report filed after the institution
adopts CECL or the same Call Report in which an institution first reports a positive Modified CECL
Transitional Amount for any calendar quarter ending in 2020.
Even if an institution makes an election to use the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision, the institution
may only reflect the regulatory capital adjustments in the quarter or quarters in which the institution
implements CECL for regulatory reporting purposes. An institution that has elected the 5-year 2020
CECL Transition Provision, but would not report a positive Modified CECL Transitional Amount in a
particular quarter, is not required to make the adjustments on its Call Report in that quarter.
Transition Period under the 5-Year 2020 CECL Transition
Beginning with the earlier of (1) the first quarter of the fiscal year that an institution was required to adopt
CECL under U.S. GAAP (as in effect on January 1, 2020), or (2) the first day of a fiscal year that begins in
the 2020 calendar year in which the institution files regulatory reports reflecting CECL, and for the
subsequent 19 quarters (for a total of 20 quarters or the five year transition period), an institution is
permitted to make the adjustments described below to amounts used in calculating regulatory capital. If
an institution temporarily ceases using CECL during this period (i.e., due to election of Section 4014 of
the CARES Act 6), the institution may not reflect regulatory capital adjustments for any quarter (during the
first 8 quarters) in which it did not implement CECL, but it would be allowed to apply the transition in
subsequent quarters when the banking organization uses CECL. However, an institution that has elected
the transition, but does not apply it in any quarter, does not receive any extension of the transition period.
Example 1: An institution was required to adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1,
2020. This institution, however, delays adoption of CECL under Section 4014 of the CARES Act
until July 1, 2020, and elects to use the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision. This institution’s
transition period begins on January 1, 2020, despite not adopting CECL until July 1, 2020. As
such, on July 1, 2020, this institution would have 18 quarters, 7 including the quarter of adoption,
remaining in its transition period.
Example 2: An institution was required to adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on October 1,
2020, and elects to use the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision. This institution does not
delay adoption of CECL under Section 2014 of the CARES Act. This institution’s transition period
would begin on October 1, 2020. As such, on October 1, 2020, this institution would have 20
quarters, including the quarter of adoption, remaining in its transition period.
Section 4014 allows an institution to delay the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13),
until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2020, or (2) the termination of the national emergency concerning the
coronavirus disease declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act (National
Emergency).
7 Six quarters of the initial transition followed by 12 quarters of the phase-out of the transition.
6

7

For the first 8 quarters after the start of its transition period, an institution is permitted to make an
adjustment of 100 percent of the transitional items calculated below, for each quarter in which the
institution applies CECL. Beginning with the ninth quarter of the transition period, the institution phases
out the cumulative adjustment as calculated at the end of the eighth quarter (i.e., the first 2 years of the
5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision), over the following 12 quarters as follows: 75 percent adjustment
in quarters 9-12 (i.e., Year 3); 50 percent adjustment in quarters 13-16 (i.e., Year 4); and 25 percent
adjustment in quarters 17-20 (i.e., Year 5).
Institutions that elect the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition Provision would calculate the following amounts,
as applicable. AACL refers to the Adjusted Allowances for Credit Losses and ALLL refers to the
Allowances for Loan and Lease Losses, both as defined in 12 CFR 3.2 (OCC); 12 CFR 217.2 (Board);
and 12 CFR 324.2 (FDIC).
CECL Transitional Amount means the difference, net of any deferred tax assets (DTAs), in the amount of
an institution’s retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts
CECL from the amount of the institution’s retained earnings as of the closing of the fiscal year-end
immediately prior to the institution’s adoption of CECL.
DTA Transitional Amount means the difference in the amount of an institution’s DTAs arising from
temporary differences as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL from the
amount of the institution’s DTAs arising from temporary differences as of the closing of the fiscal year-end
immediately prior to the institution’s adoption of CECL.
AACL Transitional Amount means the difference in the amount of an institution’s AACL as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL and the amount of the institution’s ALLL
as of the closing of the fiscal year-end immediately prior to the institution’s adoption of CECL.
Eligible Credit Reserves Transitional Amount means the difference in the amount of an institution’s
eligible credit reserves as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL from the
amount of the institution’s eligible credit reserves as of the closing of the fiscal year-end immediately prior
to the institution’s adoption of CECL.
Modified CECL Transitional Amount means:
• During the first two years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported in the
most recent Call Report, and the AACL as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution
adopts CECL, multiplied by 0.25, plus the CECL transitional amount, and
• During the last three years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported in
the Call Report at the end of the second year of the transition period and the AACL as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL, multiplied by 0.25, plus the CECL
transitional amount.
Modified AACL Transitional Amount means:
• During the first two years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported in the
most recent Call Report, and the AACL as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution
adopts CECL, multiplied by 0.25, plus the AACL transitional amount, and
• During the last three years of the transition period, the difference between the AACL as reported in
the Call Report at the end of the second year of the transition period and the AACL as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which the institution adopts CECL, multiplied by 0.25, plus the AACL
transitional amount.
Adjustments to Instructions for Call Report Data Items in Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital
Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 2 (Retained Earnings) – An institution electing the 5-year 2020 CECL
transition would add the Modified CECL Transitional Amount, as defined in Section 301 of the agencies’
regulatory capital rules, when calculating this item, adjusted as follows: 100 percent in Years 1 and 2 of
8

the transition period; 75 percent in Year 3 of the transition period; 50 percent in Year 4 of the transition
period; and 25 percent in Year 5 of the transition period.
Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 2.a (CECL Transition) – An institution that has adopted CECL would report
whether it is using a CECL transition election, as defined in Section 301 of the agencies’ regulatory
capital rules, in the Call Report for the current quarter. The institution can choose from the following
entries: 0 = No; 1 = Yes with a 3-year CECL transition election; and 2 = Yes with a 5-year 2020 CECL
transition election. An institution that has not adopted CECL must leave item 2.a blank. An institution
that has elected the 5-year 2020 CECL transition, but is not reporting any adjustments for the current
quarter because it does not have a positive Modified CECL Transitional Amount in the current quarter,
should still report “2” for this item.
Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 15 (FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051) and Item 15.a or 15.b (FFIEC 031), as
applicable (DTAs Arising from Temporary Differences) – An institution electing the 5-year 2020 CECL
transition would subtract the DTA Transitional Amount, as defined in Section 301 of the agencies’
regulatory capital rules, from the amount of DTAs arising from temporary differences used in the
calculation of this item, adjusted as follows: 100 percent in Years 1 and 2 of the transition period;
75 percent in Year 3 of the transition period; 50 percent in Year 4 of the transition period; and 25 percent
in Year 5 of the transition period.
Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 27 (Average Total Consolidated Assets) – An institution electing the 5year2020 CECL transition would add the Modified CECL Transitional Amount, as defined in Section 301
of the agencies’ regulatory capital rules, when calculating this item, adjusted as follows: 100 percent in
Years 1 and 2 of the transition period; 75 percent in Year 3 of the transition period; 50 percent in Year 4
of the transition period; and 25 percent in Year 5 of the transition period.
Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 42 (FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051) and Item 42.a (FFIEC 031), as applicable
(Adjusted Allowances for Credit Losses/ALLL in Tier 2 Capital) – An institution electing the 5-year 2020
CECL transition would subtract the Modified AACL Transitional Amount, as defined in Section 301 of the
agencies’ regulatory capital rules, when calculating this item, adjusted as follows: 100 percent in Years 1
and 2 of the transition period; 75 percent in Year 3 of the transition period; 50 percent in Year 4 of the
transition period; and 25 percent in Year 5 of the transition period.
(FFIEC 031): Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 42.b, as applicable (Eligible Credit Reserves in Tier 2
Capital) – An institution subject to the advanced approaches capital rule that has exited parallel run and
elects the 5-year 2020 CECL transition would deduct the Eligible Credit Reserves Transitional Amount, as

follows: 100 percent in Years 1 and 2 of the transition period; 75 percent in Year 3 of the transition period;
50 percent in Year 4 of the transition period; and 25 percent in Year 5 of the transition period.
(FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041) Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 55.a, as applicable (Total Leverage
Exposure) – An institution subject to the supplementary leverage ratio (an advanced approaches or

Example of Application for Third Quarter 2020:
As an example, assume an institution is required under U.S. GAAP to adopt the provisions of ASU
2016-13 on January 1, 2020. This institution chose not to delay adoption of CECL for Call Report
purposes under the provisions of the CARES Act, and elected to use the 5-year 2020 CECL Transition
Provision in the March 31, 2020, Call Report. This institution’s 5-year 2020 CECL transition period begins
on January 1, 2020.
The institution’s December 31, 2019, Call Report reflected the following amounts:
ALLL: $120
Temporary Difference DTAs: $20
Retained earnings: $200
Eligible credit reserves (advanced approaches institutions only): $110
On January 1, 2020, the institution adopted CECL and reflected the following amounts:
AACL: $150
AACL Transitional Amount = $150 - $120 = $30
(AACL on 1/1/20 – ALLL on 12/31/19)
Temporary Difference DTAs: $30
DTA Transitional Amount = $30 - $20 = $10
(DTAs on 1/1/20 – DTAs on 12/31/19)
Retained earnings: $180
CECL Transitional Amount = $200 - $180 = $20
(Retained earnings on 12/31/19 – retained earnings on 1/1/20)
Eligible credit reserves (advanced approaches institutions only): $140
Eligible Credit Reserves Transitional Amount = $140 - $110 = $30
(Eligible credit reserves on 1/1/20 – eligible credit reserves on 12/31/19)
On September 30, 2020, the institution reflected the following amounts:
AACL: $170
Modified AACL Transitional Amount = ($170-$150)*0.25 + $30 = $35
(AACL on 9/30/20 – AACL on 1/1/20)*0.25 + AACL Transitional Amount)
Modified CECL Transitional Amount = ($170-$150)*0.25 + $20 = $25
(AACL on 9/30/20 – AACL on 1/1/20)*0.25 + CECL Transitional Amount)
The institution would adjust the following items in its September 30, 2020, Call Report, Schedule RC-R:
• Part I, Item 2 (Retained earnings): Add $25 (Modified CECL Transitional Amount)
• Part I, Item 15, 15.a, or 15.b, as applicable (Temporary difference DTAs): Subtract $10 (DTA
Transitional Amount) when calculating temporary difference DTAs subject to deduction
• Part I, Item 27 (Average total consolidated assets): Add $25 (Modified CECL Transitional Amount)
An institution that is not electing the CBLR framework in its September 30, 2020, Call Report, would make
these additional adjustments:
• Part I, Item 42 (Allowances in Tier 2 Capital): Subtract $35 (Modified AACL Transitional Amount)
• Part II, Item 8 (All other assets), Column B: Report $10 as a positive amount (DTA Transitional
Amount). This will have the effect of subtracting the $10 DTA Transitional Amount from the DTAs
reported in Part II, Item 8, Column A.
An institution subject to the supplementary leverage ratio (advanced approaches and Category III
institutions) would make this additional adjustment in its September 30, 2020, Call Report:
• Part I, Item 55.a (Total leverage exposure for SLR): Add $25 (Modified CECL Transitional Amount)
An institution subject to the advanced approaches capital rule would make this additional adjustment in its
September 30, 2020, Call Report:
• Part I, Item 42.b (Eligible credit reserves): Deduct $30 (Eligible Credit Reserves Transitional Amount)

4. Interim Final Rules for Temporary Changes to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR)
Framework
Background:
The Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework provides a simple measure of capital adequacy
for certain qualifying community banking organizations. In November 2019, the agencies issued a final
rule establishing the CBLR framework, which became effective January 1, 2020.
On April 23, 2020, the agencies published two interim final rules to provide temporary relief to community
banking organizations with respect to the CBLR framework. The statutory interim final rule implements
Section 4012 of the CARES Act, which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community bank
leverage ratio qualifying criterion to 8 percent. The temporary changes to the CBLR framework
implemented by the statutory interim final rule will cease to be effective as of the earlier of the termination
date of the National Emergency, or December 31, 2020. After this date, the transition interim final rule
becomes effective and provides community banking organizations with a clear and gradual transition, by
January 1, 2022, back to the greater than 9 percent leverage ratio qualifying criterion previously
established by the agencies. The other qualifying criteria in the CBLR framework have not been modified
by the interim final rules. On October 9, 2020, the agencies published a final rule confirming the revisions
made in the interim final rules without any changes.
The agencies have also published interim final rules related to the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity
Facility (MMLF) and Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). Assets purchased under
the MMLF and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) covered loans pledged to the PPPLF are deducted
from a banking organization’s measure of average total consolidated assets for purposes of the leverage
ratio calculation. However, such assets must be included in the banking organization’s measure of total
consolidated assets for purposes of determining a banking organization’s eligibility to elect the CBLR
framework. Specifically, no deduction for these assets would be made to Schedule RC, item 12, “Total
assets.” Banking organizations participating in the MMLF or the PPPLF should refer to the specific
instructions for those facilities in Sections 2 and 5, respectively, of these supplemental instructions.
General Instructions:
Temporary Change to the Leverage Ratio Requirement under the CBLR Framework (statutory interim
final rule):
Effective the second quarter of 2020, a banking organization may qualify for the CBLR framework if
its leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 8 percent (as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31)
and it meets the following qualifying criteria: it has less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets
(Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 32); is not part of an advanced approaches banking organization; 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
assets (Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 34).
As noted in the CBLR Background section above, this temporary change provision will cease to be
effective as of the earlier of the termination date of the National Emergency or December 31, 2020. The
statutory interim final rule also includes a grace period. When this rule is in effect, the minimum leverage
ratio under the grace period is equal to or greater than 7 percent.
Transition Provisions (transition interim final rule):
Upon the expiration of the statutory interim final rule, the transition interim final rule will become effective.
Under the provisions of the transition interim final rule, a banking organization may qualify for the CBLR
framework if its leverage ratio is greater than 8 percent in the second through fourth quarters of calendar
year 2020 (if applicable), greater than 8.5 percent in calendar year 2021, and greater than 9 percent in
11

calendar year 2022 and thereafter. Also, the two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community banking
organization will take into account the graduated increase in the community bank leverage ratio
requirement qualifying criterion. In order to maintain eligibility for the CBLR framework during the
transition period, a banking organization’s leverage ratio cannot fall more than one percentage point
below the community bank leverage ratio requirement qualifying criterion.

> 8.0
* Table 1 reflects the leverage ratio requirement under the transition interim final rule. Effective the
second quarter of 2020, when the statutory interim final rule is in effect, the community bank leverage
ratio qualifying criterion is equal to or greater than 8 percent. Similarly, the minimum leverage ratio under
the grace period when the statutory interim final rule is in effect is equal to or greater than 7 percent.

Ceasing to meet the leverage ratio requirement under the CBLR framework or failing to meet any
of the other CBLR qualifying criteria
A qualifying banking organization that temporarily fails to meet any of the qualifying criteria, including the
leverage ratio requirement, generally would still be deemed well-capitalized so long as the banking
organization maintains a leverage ratio that does not fall more than one percentage point below the
leverage ratio requirement during the two-quarter grace period. At the end of the grace period (see below
for an example), the banking organization must meet all of the qualifying criteria to remain in the CBLR
framework or otherwise must apply, and report under, the generally applicable capital rule. Similarly, a
banking organization with a leverage ratio that is not within one percentage point of the leverage ratio
requirement qualifying criterion under the CBLR framework is not eligible for the grace period and must
comply with the generally applicable capital rule by completing all of Schedule RC-R, Parts I and II, as
applicable, excluding Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 32 through 38.c.
Under the CBLR framework, the grace period will begin as of the end of the calendar quarter in which the
CBLR electing banking organization ceases to satisfy any of the qualifying criteria and has a maximum
period of two consecutive calendar quarters. For example, if the CBLR electing banking organization had
met all of the qualifying criteria as of March 31, 2020, but no longer meets one of the qualifying criteria as
of May 15, 2020, and still does not meet all of the criteria as of the end of that quarter, the grace period
for such a banking organization will begin as of the end of the quarter ending June 30, 2020. The
banking organization may continue to use the CBLR framework as of September 30, 2020, but will need
to comply fully with the generally applicable capital rule (including the associated reporting requirements)
as of December 31, 2020, unless the banking organization once again meets all of the qualifying criteria
of the CBLR framework, including the leverage ratio requirement qualifying criterion, before that time.
If a CBLR electing banking organization is in the grace period when the required community bank
leverage ratio increases, the banking organization would be subject, as of the date of that change, to both
the higher community bank leverage ratio requirement and higher grace period leverage ratio
requirement. For example, if a CBLR electing banking organization that had met all of the qualifying
criteria as of September 30, 2020, has a 7.2 percent community bank leverage ratio (but meets all of the
other qualifying criteria) as of December 31, 2020, the grace period for such a banking organization will
begin as of the end of the fourth quarter. The banking organization may continue to use the community
bank leverage ratio framework as of March 31, 2021, if the banking organization has a leverage ratio of
greater than 7.5 percent, and will need to comply fully with the generally applicable capital rule (including
12

the associated reporting requirements) as of June 30, 2021, unless the banking organization has a
leverage ratio of greater than 8.5 percent (and meets all of the other qualifying criteria) by that date. In
this example, if the banking organization has a leverage ratio equal to or less than 7.5 percent as of
March 31, 2021, it would not be eligible to use the community bank leverage ratio framework and would
be subject immediately to the requirements of the generally applicable capital rule.

5. Interim Final Rule for Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) and
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans
To enhance the liquidity of small business lenders and improve the functioning of the broader credit
markets, the Federal Reserve Board authorized each of the Federal Reserve Banks to participate in
the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). On April 13, 2020, the agencies published
an interim final rule, which permits banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital requirements
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) 8 covered loans pledged to the PPPLF. The interim final rule also
clarifies that PPP covered loans as defined in section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act
(15 U.S.C. 636(a)(36)) receive a zero percent risk weight. The agencies adopted a final rule confirming
the revisions made in the interim final rule without any changes in September 2020.
The interim final rule modifies the agencies’ capital rule and allows PPPLF-eligible banking organizations
to neutralize the regulatory effects of PPP covered loans on their risk-based capital ratios, as well as
PPP covered loans pledged to the PPPLF on their leverage capital ratios. When calculating leverage
capital ratios, a banking organization may exclude from average total consolidated assets and, as
applicable, total leverage exposure a PPP covered loan as of the date that it has been pledged to the
PPPLF. Accordingly, a PPP covered loan that has not been pledged as collateral in connection with an
extension of credit under the PPPLF would be included in the calculation of the banking organization’s
average total consolidated assets and, as applicable, total leverage exposure. This treatment extends to
the community bank leverage ratio. No new extensions of credit will be made under the PPPLF after
December 31, 2020, unless the Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Department of Treasury jointly
determine to extend the facility.
Consistent with U.S. GAAP, the agencies would expect banking organizations to report PPP covered
loans on their balance sheets. Starting with the June 30, 2020, report date, institutions would include the
outstanding balances of their PPP covered loans held for investment or held for sale in the appropriate
loan category in Schedule RC-C, Part I, and, as applicable, in other Call Report schedules in which loan
data are reported. PPP covered loans not held for trading that are pledged to the PPPLF would be
reported in Schedule RC-C, Part I, Memorandum item 14, “Pledged loans and leases.” Any PPP covered
loans held for trading would be reported by all institutions on the Call Report balance sheet in Schedule
RC, item 5, with the fair value and amortized cost of such loans reported by loan category in Schedule
RC-D, Trading Assets and Liabilities, by institutions required to complete this schedule on the FFIEC 031
and the FFIEC 041. The outstanding balance of PPP covered loans held for trading that are pledged to
the PPPLF would be included in Schedule RC-D, Memorandum item 4.b, “Pledged loans,” on the FFIEC
031 by institutions required to complete this schedule.
Borrowings from the Federal Reserve Banks would be included in Schedule RC, item 16, “Other
borrowed money”; the relevant subitem(s) under Schedule RC-M, item 5.b, “Other borrowings”; and
Schedule RC-M, item 10.b, “Amount of ‘Other borrowings’ that are secured.”
For regulatory capital reporting purposes, PPP covered loan exposures, regardless of whether they are
pledged under the PPPLF and except as noted below, would be reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II,
item 4.d, “Loans and leases held for sale: All other exposures”; Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 5.d, “Loans
and leases held for investment: All other exposures”; or Schedule RC-R, item 7, “Trading assets,” as

The Paycheck Protection Program was established by Section 1102 of the 2020 CARES Act.

13

appropriate, in both Column A (Totals) and Column C (0% risk-weight category). 9 PPP covered loan
exposures not held for trading that are past due 90 days or more or on nonaccrual would be reported in
Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 4.c, “Loans and leases held for sale: Exposures past due 90 days or more or
on nonaccrual,” or Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 5.c, “Loans and leases held for investment: Exposures
past due 90 days or more or on nonaccrual,” as appropriate, in both Column A (Totals) and Column C
(0% risk-weight category). The quarterly average of PPP covered loans pledged to the PPPLF would be
included as a deduction in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 29, “LESS: Other deductions from (additions to)
assets for leverage ratio purposes,” and thus excluded from Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 30, “Total assets
for the leverage ratio.”
Advanced approaches banking organizations would not include PPP covered loans in “Total riskweighted assets” reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 48.b. Institutions subject to the supplementary
leverage ratio requirement would report their adjusted “Total leverage exposure” and “Supplementary
leverage ratio” in Schedule RC-R, Part I, items 55.a and 55.b, respectively. These institutions would
adjust their existing calculations of “Total leverage exposure” by excluding the average amount of PPP
loans pledged to the PPPLF calculated as of each day of the reporting quarter.
Beginning with the June 30, 2020, report date, banking organizations would separately report in
Schedule RC-M, items 17.a, 17.b, 17.c, and 17.e, the number of PPP covered loans outstanding, the
quarter-end outstanding balance of PPP covered loans, the quarter-end outstanding balance of PPP
covered loans that are pledged to the PPPLF, and the quarterly average amount of PPP covered loans
pledged to the PPPLF that were excluded from total assets for the leverage ratio reported in
Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 30, respectively. See Appendix B for detailed line item instructions for these
Schedule RC-M items. See Section 6, Final Rule for Assessments, Mitigating the Deposit Insurance
Assessment Effect of Participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the PPP Liquidity Facility
(PPPLF), and the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF), below for further information.

6. Final Rule for Assessments, Mitigating the Deposit Insurance Assessment Effect of
Participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the PPP Liquidity Facility
(PPPLF), and the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF)
On May 12, 2020, the FDIC approved a notice of proposed rulemaking to mitigate the deposit insurance
assessment effects of participation in the PPP, the PPPLF, and the MMLF. After considering the
comments on the proposed rule, the FDIC published a final rule on June 26, 2020, modifying its deposit
insurance assessments rule to mitigate these effects. The final rule took effect June 26, 2020, and will
apply as of April 1, 2020, in order to provide assessment relief starting with the second quarter of 2020.
Under the final rule, the FDIC will remove the effect of participation in the PPP and borrowings under the
PPPLF on various risk measures used to calculate an insured depository institution’s (IDI) assessment
rate, remove the effect of participation in the PPP and MMLF programs on certain adjustments to an IDI’s
assessment rate; provide an offset to an IDI’s assessment for the increase to its assessment base
attributable to participation in the PPP and MMLF; and remove the effect of participation in the PPP and
MMLF when classifying insured depository institutions as small, large, or highly complex for assessment
purposes.
Reporting Needs for Deposit Insurance Assessments
IDIs participating in the MMLF should refer to Section 2 above for general guidance on reporting under
the MMLF. IDIs participating in the PPP or the PPPLF should refer to Section 5 above for general
guidance on reporting PPP loans and borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks under the PPPLF.
Beginning with the June 30, 2020, report date, institutions should separately report in Schedule RC-M,
9
Reporting in Schedule RC-R, Part II, applies only to institutions that do not have a CBLR framework election in effect as of the
quarter-end report date, as reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 31.a.

14

items 17.a, 17.b, 17.c, 17.d.(1), 17.d.(2), and 17.e, the quarter-end number of PPP loans outstanding, the
quarter-end outstanding balance of PPP loans, the quarter-end outstanding balance of PPP loans
pledged to the PPPLF, the quarter-end outstanding balance of borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks
under the PPPLF with a remaining maturity of one year or less, the quarter-end outstanding balance of
borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks under the PPPLF with a remaining maturity of more than one
year, and the quarterly average amount of PPP loans pledged to the PPPLF and excluded from “Total
assets for the leverage ratio” reported in Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 30, respectively. Institutions also
should separately report in Schedule RC-M, items 18.a and 18.b, the quarter-end total outstanding
balance of assets purchased under the MMLF and the quarterly average amount of assets purchased
under the MMLF and excluded from “Total assets for the leverage ratio” reported in Schedule RC-R,
Part I, item 30, respectively. The FDIC would use the data reported in these items to make the
modifications prescribed in the final rule to an IDI’s deposit insurance assessment. See Appendix B for
detailed line item instructions for these Schedule RC-M items.

7. Interim Final Rule for Temporary Exclusion of U.S. Treasury Securities and Deposits
at Federal Reserve Banks from the Supplementary Leverage Ratio
On June 1, 2020, the agencies published an interim final rule to provide depository institutions subject to
the supplementary leverage ratio the ability to temporarily exclude U.S. Treasury securities (Treasuries)
and deposits in their accounts at Federal Reserve Banks (deposits at Federal Reserve Banks) from total
leverage exposure. A depository institution that opts into this treatment (electing depository institution) is
required to obtain prior approval of distributions from its primary Federal banking regulator. The prior
approval requirement applies to distributions to be paid beginning in the third quarter of 2020. The interim
final rule will terminate after March 31, 2021 (depository institution SLR IFR).
Under the depository institution SLR IFR, an electing depository institution (as defined above) would
exclude the average amount of on-balance sheet U.S. Treasuries and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks
calculated as of each day of the reporting quarter from Schedule RC-R, Part I, item 55.a, “Total leverage
exposure.” Custodial banking organizations would also exclude from total leverage exposure deposits
with qualifying foreign central banks (specifically, those organizations would be able to exclude such
deposits up to the average amount of funds in deposit accounts at the custodial banking organization
that are linked to fiduciary or custodial and safekeeping accounts at the custodial banking organization
calculated as of each day of the reporting quarter).
For reference, depository institutions report Treasuries held-to-maturity and available-for-sale in Schedule
RC-B, item 1, “U.S. Treasury securities,” and those held for trading in Schedule RC, item 5, “Trading
assets” (and, if applicable, in Schedule RC-D, item 1, “U.S. Treasury securities”). Depository institutions
report deposits at Federal Reserve Banks in Schedule RC-A, item 4, “Balances due from Federal
Reserve Banks.”
For purposes of reporting the supplementary leverage ratio as of June 30, 2020, electing depository
institutions may reflect the exclusion of Treasuries and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks from total
leverage exposure as if the depository institution SLR IFR interim final rule had been in effect for the
entire second quarter of 2020. The temporary exclusions from total leverage exposure are available
through the March 31, 2021, report date.

8. Interim Final Rule for Loans to Executive Officers, Directors, and Principal
Shareholders of Member Banks
On April 22, 2020, the Board published an interim final rule that excepts certain loans that are guaranteed
under the SBA's PPP from the requirements of section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the
corresponding provisions of the Board's Regulation O (12 CFR 215). The PPP loans will not be subject to
section 22(h) or the corresponding provisions of Regulation O if they are not prohibited by the SBA
15

lending restrictions as defined in the interim rule. Initially, the PPP and the exception in the April 22
interim final rule applied to loans made between February 15 and June 30, 2020. Subsequently, the PPP
was extended to August 8, 2020, and, on July 16, 2020, the Board published an interim final rule to
extend the exception to apply to PPP loans made through August 8, 2020. Pursuant to Section 18(j)(2) of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Section 11(b)(1) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act, the exception in
the Board’s interim final rule applies to insured state nonmember banks and savings associations,
respectively, in the same manner and to the same extent as if these institutions were member banks.
PPP loans excepted from the requirements of section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the
corresponding provisions of the Board's Regulation O should not be included in the extensions of credit
reported in Schedule RC-M, item 1.a, “Aggregate amount of all extensions of credit to all executive
officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests,” and item 1.b, “Number of executive
officers, directors, and principal shareholders to whom the amount of all extensions of credit by the
reporting bank (including extensions of credit to related interests) equals or exceeds the lesser of
$500,000 or 5 percent of total capital as defined for this purpose in agency regulations.”

9. Section 4013, Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)
As provided for under the CARES Act, a financial institution may account for an eligible loan modification
either under Section 4013 or in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic
310-40, Receivables–Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. If a loan modification is not eligible
under Section 4013, or if the institution elects not to account for the loan modification under Section 4013,
the financial institution should evaluate whether the modified loan is a TDR. 10
To be an eligible loan under Section 4013 (Section 4013 loan), a loan modification must be (1) related to
COVID-19; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019;
and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of
the National Emergency or (B) December 31, 2020 (the applicable period).
Financial institutions accounting for eligible loans under Section 4013 are not required to apply ASC
Subtopic 310-40 to the Section 4013 loans for the term of the loan modification and do not have to report
Section 4013 loans as TDRs in regulatory reports, subject to the following considerations for additional
modifications. If an institution elects to account for a loan modification under Section 4013, an additional
loan modification could also be eligible under Section 4013 provided it is executed during the applicable
period and meets the other statutory criteria referenced above. If an institution does not elect to account
for a loan modification under Section 4013 or a loan modification is not eligible under Section 4013
(e.g., because it is executed after the applicable period), additional modifications should be viewed
cumulatively in determining whether the additional modification is accounted for as a TDR under ASC
Subtopic 310-40. 11
Consistent with the CARES Act, the agencies are collecting information about the volume of loans
modified under Section 4013. Beginning with the June 30, 2020, report date, institutions should report
the total number of loans outstanding that have been modified under Section 4013 and the outstanding
balance of these loans in Call Report Schedule RC-C, Part I, Loans and Leases, Memorandum
items 17.a and 17.b, respectively. These two items are being collected on a confidential basis at the
institution level. Once the term of an eligible Section 4013 loan modification ends, an institution should no
The agencies issued an interagency statement on April 7, 2020, to provide information to financial institutions that
are working with borrowers affected by the coronavirus. On August 3, 2020, the FFIEC, on behalf of its members,
issued a joint statement to provide prudent risk management and consumer protection principles for financial
institutions to consider while working with borrowers as loans near the end of initial loan accommodation periods
applicable during the COVID-19 event.
11 Institutions can refer to the aforementioned interagency statement and joint statement for additional information
when making these determinations.
10

16

longer include the loan in these Schedule RC-C, Part I, Memorandum items. See Appendix A for detailed
line item instructions for these Memorandum items.
Institutions should continue to follow reporting instructions and U.S. GAAP for Section 4013 loans,
including:
• Appropriately reporting past due and nonaccrual status; and
• Maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses in accordance with ASC Subtopic
450-20 12 or ASC Subtopic 310-10, 13 or an appropriate allowance for credit losses in accordance with
ASC Subtopic 326-20, 14 as applicable.
Institutions are not required to report Section 4013 loans in the following Call Report items:
• Schedule RC-C, Part I, Memorandum item 1, “Loans restructured in troubled debt restructurings that
are in compliance with their modified terms.”
• Schedule RC-N, Memorandum item 1, “Loans restructured in troubled debt restructurings included in
items 1 through 7, above.”
• Schedule RC-O, Memorandum item 16, “Portion of loans restructured in troubled debt
restructurings that are in compliance with their modified terms and are guaranteed or insured by the
U.S. Government” (which is applicable only to “large institutions” and “highly complex institutions” for
deposit insurance assessment purposes).
One-to-four family residential mortgages will not be considered restructured or modified for the purposes
of the agencies’ risk-based capital rules solely due to a short-term modification made on a good faith
basis in response to COVID-19, provided that the loans are prudently underwritten and not 90 days or
more past due or carried in nonaccrual status. Loans meeting these requirements that received a
50 percent risk weight prior to such a modification may continue receiving that risk weight.

10. Interim Final Rule for Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions (Regulation D)
On April 28, 2020, the Board published an interim final rule amending its Regulation D (12 CFR 204) to
delete the numeric limits on certain kinds of transfers and withdrawals that may be made each month
from “savings deposits.” In response to the changes to Regulation D, the definitions of certain deposits
reported on Call Report Schedule RC-E, Deposit Liabilities, have been revised. See Appendix C for the
redlined revisions to these deposit definitions in the instructions for Schedule RC-E, Deposit Liabilities,
and the Glossary entry for “Deposits.”

Eligible loan modifications under Section 4013, Temporary Relief from Troubled
Debt Restructurings, of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
Act. As provided for under the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
(CARES Act), a financial institution may elect to account for an eligible loan modification
under Section 4013 of that Act (Section 4013 loan). If a loan modification is not eligible
under Section 4013, or if the institution elects not to account for an eligible loan
modification under Section 4013, the institution should not report the loan in
Memorandum items 17.a and 17.b and should instead evaluate whether the modified
loan is a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) under ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables–
Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.
To be an eligible loan modification under Section 4013, a loan modification must be (1)
related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19); (2) executed on a loan that was
not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between
March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the national
emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President on March 13,
2020, under the National Emergencies Act or (B) December 31, 2020 (the applicable
period).
Institutions accounting for eligible loan modifications under Section 4013 are not required
to apply ASC Subtopic 310-40 to the Section 4013 loans for the term of the loan
modification and do not have to report Section 4013 loans as TDRs in regulatory reports,
subject to the following considerations for additional modifications. If an institution elects
to account for a loan modification under Section 4013, an additional loan modification
could also be eligible under Section 4013 provided it is executed during the applicable
period and meets the other statutory criteria referenced above. If an institution does not
elect to account for a loan modification under Section 4013 or a loan modification is not
eligible under Section 4013 (e.g., because it is executed after the applicable period),
additional modifications should be viewed cumulatively in determining whether the
additional modification is accounted for as a TDR under ASC Subtopic 310-40.
Consistent with the CARES Act, the agencies are collecting information on a fully
consolidated basis about the volume of Section 4013 loans, including the number of
Section 4013 loans outstanding (Memorandum item 17.a) and the outstanding balance of
Section 4013 loans (Memorandum item 17.b). These two items are collected on a
confidential basis at the institution level. Once the term of an eligible Section 4013 loan
modification ends, an institution should no longer include the loan in these Schedule RCC, Part I, Memorandum items.
For further information on loan modifications, including those that may not be eligible
under Section 4013 or for which an institution elects not to apply Section 4013,
institutions may refer to the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting
for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)
issued April 7, 2020, and the Joint Statement on Additional Loan Accommodations
Related to COVID-19 issued August 3, 2020.

17.a

Number of Section 4013 loans outstanding. Report the number of Section 4013 loans
outstanding held by the reporting institution as of the report date whose outstanding

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and
the Federal Reserve PPP Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). The PPP was established by
Section 1102 of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which was
enacted on March 27, 2020 and amended on June 5, 2020. PPP covered loans (PPP
loans) are fully guaranteed as to principal and accrued interest by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (SBA).
The PPPLF was authorized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
on April 8, 2020, under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 343(3)).
Under the PPPLF, the Federal Reserve Banks will extend non-recourse loans to eligible
lenders, with the extensions of credit secured by SBA-guaranteed PPP loans that the
lenders have originated or purchased.
Items 17.a through 17.e should be completed on a fully consolidated basis.

17.a

Number of PPP loans outstanding. Report the number of PPP loans outstanding held
by the reporting institution as of the report date whose outstanding balances are included
in the amount reported in Schedule RC-M, item 17.b, below.

17.b

Pledged PPP loans held for investment or held for sale that should be included in this
item will also have been included in Schedule RC-C, Part I, Memorandum item 14,
“Pledged loans and leases.” On the FFIEC 031, pledged PPP loans held for trading that
should be included in this item will also have been included in Schedule RC-D,
Memorandum item 4.b, “Pledged loans.”

17.d

Outstanding balance of borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks under the PPPLF
with a remaining maturity of. Report in the appropriate subitem the specified
information about the outstanding amount of borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks
under the PPPLF reported in Schedule RC, item 16. The maturity date of an extension of
credit under the PPPLF equals the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the
extension of credit, which is either two or five years from origination of the PPP loan.
However, the maturity date of the extension of credit will be accelerated and the
institution is required to repay the extension of credit under the PPPLF prior to its maturity
date when the institution has been reimbursed by the SBA for a PPP loan forgiveness (to
the extent of the forgiveness), has received payment from the SBA representing exercise
of the PPP loan guarantee, or has received payment from the PPP borrower of the
underlying PPP loan (to the extent of the payment received).
The remaining maturity is the amount of time remaining from the report date until the final
contractual maturity of the borrowing without regard to the borrowing’s repayment
schedule, if any.

Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF). To prevent the disruption in the
money markets from destabilizing the financial system, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on March 19,
2020, to establish the MMLF pursuant to Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (12
U.S.C. 343(3)). Under the MMLF, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston will extend nonrecourse loans to eligible borrowers to purchase eligible assets from money market

charged to the control accounts of the various deposit categories on the general ledger, should be
credited to (added back to) the appropriate deposit control totals and reported in Schedule RC-F, item 6,
"All other assets.”
The Monetary Control Act of 1980 and the resulting revision to Federal Reserve Regulation D, "Reserve
Requirements of Depository Institutions," established, for purposes of federal reserve requirements on
deposit liabilities, a category of deposits designated as "transaction accounts." The distinction between
transaction and nontransaction accounts is discussed in detail in the Glossary entry for "deposits.”
NOTE: Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) are regarded as savings deposits and are specifically
excluded from the "transaction account" classification.
Summary of Transaction Account Classifications (See the Glossary entry for "deposits" for detailed
definitions and further information.)
A. Always regarded as transaction accounts:
1. Demand deposits.
2. NOW accounts.
3. ATS accounts.
4. Accounts (other than savings deposits) from which payments may be made to third parties by
means of an automated teller machine (ATM), a remote service unit (RSU), or another electronic
device, including by debit card.
5. Accounts (other than savings deposits) that permit third party payments through use of checks,
drafts, negotiable instruments, or other similar instruments.
B. Deposits or accounts that are regarded as transaction accounts if the following specified conditions
exist:
1. Accounts that otherwise meet the definition of savings deposits but that authorize or permit the
depositor to exceed the transfer and withdrawal rules for a savings deposit.
2. Any deposit or account that otherwise meets the definition of a time deposit but that allows
withdrawals within the first six days after the date of deposit and that does not require an early
withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within those first
six days, unless the deposit or account meets the definition of a savings deposit. Any such
deposit or account that meets the definition of a savings deposit shall be reported as a savings
deposit, otherwise it shall be reported as a demand deposit, which is a transaction account.
3. The remaining balance of a time deposit from which a partial early withdrawal is made, unless the
remaining balance either (a) is subject to additional early withdrawal penalties of at least seven
days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within six days after each partial withdrawal (in which
case the deposit or account continues to be reported as a time deposit) or (b) is placed in an
account that meets the definition of a savings deposit (in which case the deposit or account shall
be reported as a savings deposit). Otherwise, the deposit or account shall be reported as a
demand deposit, which is a transaction account.

Deposits (cont.):
(4) outstanding draft (including advice or authorization to charge a bank's or a savings
association's balance in another bank or savings association), cashier's check, money order,
or other officer's check issued in the usual course of business for any purpose, including
without being limited to those issued in payment for services, dividends, or purchases, and
(5) such other obligations of a bank or savings association as the Board of Directors [of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation], after consultation with the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, shall find and
prescribe by regulation to be deposit liabilities by general usage, except that the following
shall not be a deposit for any of the purposes of this Act or be included as part of the total
deposits or of an insured deposit:
(A) any obligation of a depository institution which is carried on the books and records of an
office of such bank or savings association located outside of any State, unless –
(i) such obligation would be a deposit if it were carried on the books and records of the
depository institution, and would be payable at, an office located in any State; and
(ii) the contract evidencing the obligation provides by express terms, and not by
implication, for payment at an office of the depository institution located in any State;
and
(B) any international banking facility deposit, including an international banking facility time
deposit, as such term is from time to time defined by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System in regulation D or any successor regulation issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and
(C) any liability of an insured depository institution that arises under an annuity contract, the
income of which is tax deferred under section 72 of title 26 [the Internal Revenue Code].
(II) Transaction-nontransaction deposit distinction – The Monetary Control Act of 1980 and the current
Federal Reserve Regulation D, "Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions," establish, for
purposes of federal reserve requirements on deposit liabilities, a category of deposits designated
as "transaction accounts." All deposits that are not transaction accounts are "nontransaction
accounts."
(1) Transaction accounts – With the exceptions noted below, a "transaction account," as defined
in Regulation D and in these instructions, 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 (ATM), a remote
service unit (RSU), or another electronic device, including by debit card.
Excluded from transaction accounts are savings deposits (both money market deposit
accounts (MMDAs) and other savings deposits) as defined below in the nontransaction
account category, even though such deposits permit some third-party transfers. However, an
account that otherwise meets the definition of a savings deposit but that authorizes or permits
the depositor to exceed the transfer limitations specified for that account shall be reported as
a transaction account. (Please refer to the definition of savings deposits for further detail.)

Deposits (cont.):
NOTE: Under the Federal Reserve's current Regulation D, no transaction account,
regardless of its other characteristics, is classified either as a savings deposit or as a time
deposit. Thus, those transaction accounts that are not demand deposits – NOW accounts,
ATS (Automatic Transfer Service) accounts, and telephone and preauthorized transfer
accounts – are excluded from Regulation D time and savings deposits. For all items in the
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income involving time or savings deposits, a strict
distinction, based on Regulation D definitions, is to be maintained between transaction
accounts and time and savings accounts.
Transaction accounts consist of the following types of deposits: (a) demand deposits;
(b) NOW accounts; (c) ATS accounts; and (d) telephone and preauthorized transfer
accounts, all as defined below. Interest that is paid by the crediting of transaction accounts is
also included in transaction accounts.
(a) Demand deposits are deposits that are payable immediately on demand, or that are
issued with an original maturity or required notice period of less than seven days, or that
represent funds for which the depository institution does not reserve the right to require
at least seven days' written notice of an intended withdrawal. Demand deposits include
any matured time deposits without automatic renewal provisions, unless the deposit
agreement provides for the funds to be transferred at maturity to another type of
account. Effective July 21, 2011, demand deposits may be interest-bearing or
noninterest-bearing. Demand deposits do not include: (i) money market deposit
accounts (MMDAs) or (ii) NOW accounts, as defined below in this entry.
(b) NOW accounts are interest-bearing deposits (i) on which the depository institution has
reserved the right to require at least seven days' written notice prior to withdrawal or
transfer of any funds in the account and (ii) that can be withdrawn or transferred to third
parties by issuance of a negotiable or transferable instrument.
NOW accounts, as authorized by federal law, are limited to accounts held by:
(i)

Individuals or sole proprietorships;

(ii)

Organizations that are operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable,
educational, or other similar purposes and that are not operated for profit. These
include organizations, partnerships, corporations, or associations that are not
organized for profit and are described in section 501(c)(3) through (13) and (19)
and section 528 of the Internal Revenue Code, such as church organizations;
professional associations; trade associations; labor unions; fraternities, sororities
and similar social organizations; and nonprofit recreational clubs; or

(iii) Governmental units including the federal government and its agencies and
instrumentalities; state governments; county and municipal governments and their
political subdivisions; the District of Columbia; the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, and any territory or possession of the United States and
their political subdivisions.
Also included are the balances of all NOW accounts of certain other nonprofit
organizations that may not fall within the above description but that had established
NOW accounts with the reporting institution prior to September 1, 1981.

Deposits (cont.):
NOTE: There are no regulatory requirements with respect to minimum balances to be
maintained in a NOW account or to the amount of interest that may be paid on a NOW
account.
(c) ATS accounts are deposits or accounts of individuals or sole proprietorships on which
the depository institution has reserved the right to require at least seven days' written
notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of any funds in the account and from which,
pursuant to written agreement arranged in advance between the reporting institution and
the depositor, withdrawals may be made automatically through payment to the
depository institution itself or through transfer of credit to a demand deposit or other
account in order to cover checks or drafts drawn upon the institution or to maintain a
specified balance in, or to make periodic transfers to, such other accounts.
Some institutions may have entered into agreements with their customers providing that
in the event the customer should overdraw a demand deposit (checking) or
NOW account, the institution will transfer from that customer's savings account an
amount sufficient to cover the overdraft. The availability of the overdraft protection plan
would not in and of itself require that such a savings account be regarded as a
transaction account provided that the overall transfer and withdrawal restrictions of a
savings deposit are not exceeded. Please refer to the definition of savings deposit for
further detail.
(d) Telephone or preauthorized transfer accounts consist of deposits or accounts, other
than savings deposits, (1) in which the entire beneficial interest is held by a party eligible
and
to hold a NOW account, (2) on which the reporting institution has reserved the right to
require at least seven days' written notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of any funds in
the account, and (3) under the terms of which, or by practice of the reporting institution,
the depositor is permitted or authorized to make more than six withdrawals per month or
statement cycle (or similar period) of at least four weeks for purposes of transferring
funds to another account of the depositor at the same institution (including a transaction
account) or for making payment to a third party by means of preauthorized transfer, or
telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order or instruction. An account
that permits or authorizes more than six such withdrawals in a "month" (a calendar
month or any period approximating a month that is at least four weeks long, such as a
statement cycle) is a transaction account whether or not more than six such withdrawals
actually are made in the "month."
A "preauthorized transfer" includes any arrangement by the reporting institution to pay a
third party from the account of a depositor (1) upon written or oral instruction (including
an order received through an automated clearing house (ACH)), or (2) at a
predetermined time or on a fixed schedule.
Telephone and preauthorized transfer accounts also include:
(i)

Deposits or accounts maintained in connection with an arrangement that permits
the depositor to obtain credit directly or indirectly through the drawing of a
negotiable or nonnegotiable check, draft, order or instruction or other similar

institution that can be used for the purpose of making payments or transfers to third
parties or others, or to another deposit account of the depositor.

debit card, an automated teller machine, remote service unit or other electronic

However, an account is not a transaction account merely by virtue of arrangements that
permit the following types of transfers or withdrawals, regardless of the number:
(i)

Transfers for the purpose of repaying loans and associated expenses at the same
depository institution (as originator or servicer).

(iii) Withdrawals for payment directly to the depositor when made by mail, messenger,
automated teller machine, in person, or by telephone (via check mailed to the

(2) Nontransaction accounts – All deposits that are not transaction accounts (as defined above)
are nontransaction accounts. Nontransaction accounts include: (a) savings deposits
((i) money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) and (ii) other savings deposits) and (b) time
deposits ((i) time certificates of deposit and (ii) time deposits, open account). Regulation D
no longer distinguishes between money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) and other
savings deposits. However, these two types of accounts are defined below for purposes of
these reports, which call for separate data on each in Schedule RC-E, (part I,) Memorandum
items 2.a.(1) and (2).
NOTE: Under the Federal Reserve's current Regulation D, no transaction accounts,
regardless of other characteristics, are defined as savings or time deposits. Thus, savings
deposits as defined here, under the heading nontransaction accounts, constitute the entire
savings deposit category. Likewise, time deposits, also defined here under nontransaction
accounts, constitute the entire time deposits category.
(a) Savings deposits are deposits with respect to which the depositor is not required by the
deposit contract but may at any time be required by the depository institution to give
written notice of an intended withdrawal not less than seven days before withdrawal is
made, and that is not payable on a specified date or at the expiration of a specified time
after the date of deposit.

Transfers from savings deposits for purposes of covering overdrafts (overdraft protection
plans) are included under the withdrawal limits specified for savings deposits.
There are no regulatory restrictions on the following types of transfers or withdrawals
from a savings deposit account, regardless of the number:
(1) Transfers for the purpose of repaying loans and associated expenses at the same
depository institution (as originator or servicer).
(2) Transfers of funds from this account to another account of the same depositor at
the same institution when made by mail, messenger, automated teller machine, or
in person.
(3) Withdrawals for payment directly to the depositor when made by mail, messenger,
automated teller machine, in person, or by telephone (via check mailed to the
depositor).
Further, for a savings deposit account, no minimum balance is required by regulation,
there is no regulatory limitation on the amount of interest that may be paid, and no
minimum maturity is required (although depository institutions must reserve the right to
require at least seven days' written notice prior to withdrawal as stipulated above for a
savings deposit).

Insert 1

Any depository institution may place restrictions and requirements on savings deposits
in addition to those stipulated above. In the case of such further restrictions, the
account would still be reported as a savings deposit.
On the other hand, an account that otherwise meets the definition of a savings deposit
but that authorizes or permits the depositor to exceed the six-transfer/withdrawal rule
shall be reported as a transaction account, as follows:
(1) If the depositor is ineligible to hold a NOW account, such an account is considered
a demand deposit.
(2) If the depositor is eligible to hold a NOW account, the account will be considered
either a NOW account, a telephone or preauthorized transfer account, or an ATS
account:
(a) If withdrawals or transfers by check, draft, or similar instrument are permitted
or authorized, the account is considered a NOW account.
(b) If withdrawals or transfers by check, draft, or similar instrument are not
permitted or authorized, the account is considered either an ATS account or a
telephone or preauthorized transfer account.
Regulation D no longer distinguishes between money market deposit accounts
(MMDAs) and other savings deposits. However, these two types of accounts are
defined as follows for purposes of these reports, which call for separate data on each.

Treatment of Accounts where Reporting Institutions Have Suspended Enforcement of the Six Transfer
Limit per Regulation D
Where the reporting institution has suspended the enforcement of the six transfer limit rule on an
account that meets the definition of a savings deposit, the reporting institution may continue to report
such deposits as a savings account, or may choose to report them as transaction accounts based on
an assessment of the characteristics of the account as indicated below:
1) If the reporting institution does not retain the reservation of right to require at least seven days'

written notice before an intended withdrawal, report the account as a demand deposit.

notice before an intended withdrawal and the depositor is eligible to hold a NOW account, report the
account as either an ATS account, NOW account, or a telephone and preauthorized transfer account.

Deposits (cont.):
(1) Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) are deposits or accounts that meet the
above definition of a savings deposit and that permit up to (but no more than) six
allowable transfers to be made by check, draft, debit card or similar order made by
unlimited
the depositor and payable to third parties.
transfers
(2) Other savings deposits are deposits or accounts that meet the above definition of a
savings deposit but that permit no transfers by check, draft, debit card, or similar
order made by the depositor and payable to third parties. Other savings deposits
are commonly known as passbook savings or statement savings accounts.
Examples illustrating distinctions between MMDAs and other savings deposits for
purposes of these reports are provided at the end of this Glossary entry.
(b) Time deposits are deposits that the depositor does not have a right, and is not
permitted, to make withdrawals from within six days after the date of deposit unless the
deposit is subject to an early withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest
on amounts withdrawn within the first six days after deposit. A time deposit from which
partial early withdrawals are permitted must impose additional early withdrawal penalties
of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within six days after each
partial withdrawal. If such additional early withdrawal penalties are not imposed, the
account ceases to be a time deposit. The account may become a savings deposit if it
meets the requirements for a savings deposit; otherwise it becomes a demand deposit.
NOTE: The above prescribed penalties are the minimum required by Federal Reserve
Regulation D. Institutions may choose to require penalties for early withdrawal in
excess of the regulatory minimums.
Time deposits take two forms:
(i)

Time certificates of deposit (including rollover certificates of deposit) are deposits
evidenced by a negotiable or nonnegotiable instrument, or a deposit in book entry
form evidenced by a receipt or similar acknowledgement issued by the bank, that
provides, on its face, that the amount of such deposit is payable to the bearer, to
any specified person, or to the order of a specified person, as follows:
(1) on a certain date not less than seven days after the date of deposit,
(2) at the expiration of a specified period not less than seven days after the date
of the deposit, or
(3) upon written notice to the bank which is to be given not less than seven days
before the date of withdrawal.

(ii)

Time deposits, open account are deposits (other than time certificates of deposit)
for which there is in force a written contract with the depositor that neither the whole
nor any part of such deposit may be withdrawn prior to:
(1) the date of maturity which shall be not less than seven days after the date of
the deposit, or
(2) the expiration of a specified period of written notice of not less than seven
days.

Deposits (cont.):
These deposits include those club accounts, such as Christmas club and vacation
club accounts, that are made under written contracts that provide that no withdrawal
shall be made until a certain number of periodic deposits has been made during a
period of not less than three months, even though some of the deposits are made
within six days of the end of such period.
Time deposits do not include the following categories of liabilities even if they have an
original maturity of seven days or more:
(1) Any deposit or account that otherwise meets the definition of a time deposit but that
allows withdrawals within the first six days after deposit and that does not require an
early withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts
withdrawn within those first six days. Such deposits or accounts that meet the
definition of a savings deposit shall be reported as savings deposits; otherwise they
shall be reported as demand deposits.
(2) The remaining balance of a time deposit if a partial early withdrawal is made and the
remaining balance is not subject to additional early withdrawal penalties of at least
seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within six days after each partial
withdrawal. Such time deposits that meet the definition of a savings deposit shall be
reported as savings deposits; otherwise they shall be reported as demand deposits.
Reporting of Retail Sweep Arrangements Affecting Transaction and Nontransaction Accounts –
In an effort to reduce their reserve requirements, some banks have established “retail sweep
arrangements” or “retail sweep programs.” In a retail sweep arrangement, a depository
institution transfers funds between a customer’s transaction account(s) and that customer’s
nontransaction account(s) (usually savings deposit account(s)) by means of preauthorized or
automatic transfers, typically in order to reduce transaction account reserve requirements
while providing the customer with unlimited access to the funds.
two
There are three key criteria for retail sweep programs to comply with the Federal Reserve
Regulation D definitions of “transaction account” and “savings deposit:”
(1) A depository institution must establish by agreement with its transaction account
customer two legally separate accounts: a transaction account (a NOW account or
demand deposit account) and a savings deposit account, including those sometimes
called a “money market deposit account” or “MMDA”;
(2) The swept funds must actually be moved from the customer’s transaction account to the
customer’s savings deposit account on the official books and records of the depository
institution as of the close of the business on the day(s) on which the depository
institution intends to report the funds in question as savings deposits and not transaction
accounts, and vice versa. In addition to actually moving the customer’s funds between
accounts and reflecting this movement at the account level:
(a) If the depository institution’s general ledger is sufficiently disaggregated to
distinguish between transaction and savings deposit accounts, the aforementioned
movement of funds between the customer’s transaction account and savings
deposit account must be reflected on the general ledger.

Deposits (cont.):
(b) If the depository institution’s general ledger is not sufficiently disaggregated, the
distinction may be reflected in supplemental records or systems, but only if such
supplemental records or systems constitute official books and records of the
institution and are subject to the same prudent managerial oversight and controls as
the general ledger.
A retail sweep program may not exist solely in records or on systems that do not
constitute official books and records of the depository institution and that are not used
for any purpose other than generating its Report of Transaction Accounts, Other
Deposits and Vault Cash (FR 2900) for submission to the Federal Reserve; and
(3) The maximum number of preauthorized or automatic funds transfers (“sweeps”) out of a
savings deposit account and into a transaction account in a retail sweep program is
limited to not more than six per month. Transfers out of the transaction account and into
the savings deposit account may be unlimited in number.
either of these
If any of the three criteria is not met, all swept funds must continue to be reported as
transaction accounts, both for purposes of these reports and of FR 2900 deposit reports.
All three criteria must be met in order to report the nontransaction account component of a
retail sweep program as a nonreservable savings deposit account.
both
Further, for purposes of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, if all three of
the criteria above are met, a bank must report the transaction account and nontransaction
account components of a retail sweep program separately when it reports its quarter-end
deposit information in Schedules RC, RC-E, and RC-O; its quarterly averages in
Schedule RC-K; and its interest expense (if any) in Schedule RI. Thus, when reporting
quarterly averages in Schedule RC-K, a bank should include the amounts held in the
transaction account (if interest-bearing) and the nontransaction savings account components
of retail sweep arrangements each day or each week in the appropriate separate items for
average deposits. In addition, if the bank pays interest on accounts involved in retail sweep
arrangements, the interest expense reported in Schedule RI should be allocated between
the transaction account and the nontransaction (savings) account based on the balances in
these accounts during the reporting period.
For additional information, refer to the Federal Reserve Board staff guidance relating to the
requirements for a retail sweep program under Regulation D at
http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/legalint/FederalReserveAct/2007/20070501/200705
01.pdf.
(III) Interest-bearing-noninterest-bearing deposit distinction –
(a) Interest-bearing deposit accounts consist of deposit accounts on which the issuing depository
institution makes any payment to or for the account of any depositor as compensation for the
use of funds constituting a deposit. Such compensation may be in the form of cash,
merchandise, or property or as a credit to an account. An institution’s absorption of
expenses incident to providing a normal banking function or its forbearance from charging a
fee in connection with such a service is not considered a payment of interest.
Deposits with a zero percent interest rate that are issued on a discount basis are to be
treated as interest-bearing. Deposit accounts on which the interest rate is periodically
adjusted in response to changes in market interest rates and other factors should be reported
as interest-bearing even if the rate has been reduced to zero, provided the interest rate on
these accounts can be increased as market conditions change.

compensation for the use of funds constituting a deposit. An institution’s absorption of
expenses incident to providing a normal banking function or its forbearance from charging a

Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts include (i) matured time deposits that are not
automatically renewable (unless the deposit agreement provides for the funds to be
transferred at maturity to another type of account) and (ii) deposits with a zero percent stated
interest rate that are issued at face value.
See also "brokered deposits" and "hypothecated deposits."

Examples Illustrating Distinctions Between
MONEY MARKET DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS (MMDAs) and OTHER SAVINGS DEPOSITS
Example 1
A savings deposit account permits no transfers of any type to other accounts or to third parties.
Report this account as an other savings deposit.
Example 2

unlimited

A savings deposit permits up to six, but no more than six, "preauthorized, automatic, or
telephonic" transfers to other accounts or to third parties. None of the third-party payments may be
made by check, draft, or similar order (including debit card).
Report this account as an other savings deposit.
Example 3

unlimited

A savings deposit permits no more than six "preauthorized, automatic, or telephonic" transfers to
other accounts or to third parties, any or all which may be by check, draft, debit card or similar order
made by the depositor and payable to third parties.
Report this account as an MMDA.

Derivative Contracts: Banks commonly use derivative instruments for managing (positioning or
hedging) their exposure to market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), cash flow
risk, and other risks in their operations and for trading. The accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities are set forth in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly FASB Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended), which banks
must follow for purposes of these reports. ASC Topic 815 requires all derivatives to be recognized on
the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at their fair value. A summary of the principal provisions
of ASC Topic 815 follows. For further information, see ASC Topic 815, which includes the
implementation guidance issued by the FASB's Derivatives Implementation Group.
