The FR Y-9 family of reports historically has been, and continues to be, the primary source of financial information on BHCs between on-site inspections. Financial information from these reports is used to detect emerging financial problems, to review performance and conduct pre-inspection analysis, to monitor and evaluate capital adequacy, to evaluate BHC mergers and acquisitions, and to analyze a BHC's overall financial condition to ensure safe and sound operations.
The Federal Reserve proposes to modify information collected on the FR Y-9C to: report interest and fee income on and the quarterly average for 1-4 family residential mortgages and income on and the quarterly average for all other real estate loans separately from income on and the quarterly average for all other loans; add new data items for restructured troubled mortgages and mortgage loans in process of foreclosure; expand the schedule for closed-end 1-4 family residential mortgage banking activity to include originations, purchases, and sales of open-end mortgages as well as closed-end and open-end mortgage loan repurchases and indemnifications during the quarter; modify the trading account definition and enhance information available on instruments accounted for under the fair value option on the loan schedule and the fair value measurements schedule; revise the schedule on trading assets and liabilities; clarify the instructions for reporting credit derivative data in the risk-based capital schedule and make a corresponding change to the schedule itself; modify the threshold for reporting significant items of other noninterest income and expense in the income statement; and revise the instructions for reporting fully insured brokered deposits in the deposit liabilities schedule to conform to the instructions for reporting time deposits in this schedule. The proposed changes would be effective as of March 31, 2008.
The Federal Reserve proposes to modify the FR Y-9LP to: collect certain data from all institutions that choose, under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), to apply a fair value option to one or more financial instruments and one or more classes of servicing assets and liabilities; add two data items on cash flows related to business acquisitions and divestitures; and combine two cash flow statement items into a single net item. The proposed changes would be effective as of March 31, 2008.
The Federal Reserve proposes to modify the FR Y-9SP to also collect certain data from all institutions that choose, under GAAP, to apply a fair value option to one or more financial instruments and one or more classes of servicing assets and liabilities. The proposed changes would be effective as of June 30, 2008.
The total current annual burden for the FR Y-9 family of reports is estimated to be 221,013 hours and is estimated to increase by 12,288 hours with the proposed revisions.
