Comments due on proposed Call Report and FFIEC 002 form revisions

On December 27, 2023, the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC published [88 FR 89489] a joint notice and request for comment on proposed revisions to the reporting forms and instructions for the Call Reports and the FFIEC 002 relating to the reporting on (1) loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans, (2) guaranteed structured financial products, and (3) proposed long–term debt requirements. The proposed revisions to the FFIEC 002 report form and instructions relate to the reporting on the loans to nondepository financial institutions and other loans. These proposed changes apply to all three versions of the Call Report (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051) and to the Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002), as applicable.

In addition, the agencies are requesting comment on a proposal to adopt ongoing standards for electronic signatures to comply with the Call Report signature and attestation requirement.

These proposed changes would be effective as of the June 30, 2024, report date, except for those related to the proposed long–term debt requirements that would take effect the same quarter as the effective date of any final rule on such requirements.

Redlined copies of the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051 Call Report forms showing the proposed changes and the related draft reporting instructions will be available on the FFIEC’s webpages for these reports, which can be accessed from the FFIEC’s Reporting Forms webpage.

Comments must be submitted by February 26, 2024.
