Insured financial institutions must provide quarterly reports of condition and income to the appropriate regulatory for supervisory, surveillance, regulatory, research, insurance assessment and informational purposes.
The proposed revision to the Call Reports that is the subject of this request has been approved by the FFIEC. Â A new Schedule RI-C, Disaggregated Data on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), would be added to the Call Report as of the March 31, 2013, report date and would be completed by institutions with $1 billion or more in total assets. Â This proposed new schedule would enable the agencies to more finely focus their analyses related to the composition of these institutions' ALLLs and the changes therein over time, thereby aiding in evaluations of the appropriateness of the reported level of their ALLLs. Â The reported data also would provide a better understanding of how institutions' ALLL practices and allocations differ for particular loan categories as economic conditions change Â
Â
Consistent with longstanding practice, for the March 31, 2013, report date, institutions required to complete Schedule RI-C may provide reasonable estimates for any item in the schedule for which the requested information is not readily available. Â Â
US Code:
12 USC 1817(a)
Name of Law: Federal Deposit Insurance Act
The change in burden associated with this submission is caused by two factors: Â (a) a net decrease in the number of reporting institutions supervised by the FDIC, and (b) the change to the Call Report that is the subject of this submission.
Â
At present, there are 4,531 FDIC-supervised institutions, which is 99 less than previously reported (4,630 previously versus 4,531 now). Â As previously noted, the proposed addition to the Call Report of new Schedule RI-C that is the subject of this submission will apply to institutions with $1 billion or more in total assets. Â Thus, the FDIC estimates that the overall effect of the proposed reporting revision across the full range of institutions under its supervision would be a nominal increase in the burden estimate per response. Â In addition, the first year burden for FDIC-supervised savings associations to convert systems and conduct training in connection with their conversion to filing the Call Report in place of the former Thrift Financial Report (TFR) as of the March 31, 2012, report date will be behind them when the proposed addition of Schedule RI-C to the Call Report takes effect. The analysis of the change in burden for the Call Report as it is proposed to be revised effective March 31, 2013, is as follows:
Â
 Currently approved burden
FDIC-supervised institutions: Burden to file 749,923 hours
FDIC-supervised savings associations: First year burden
in 2012 to convert systems and conduct training 11,280 hours
Total currently approved burden 761,203 hours
Revisions to content of report (program change)
FDIC-supervised institutions: Burden to file + 1,220 hours
FDIC-supervised savings associations: Elimination of first
year burden in 2012 to convert systems and conduct training - 11,280 hours
Adjustment (change in use)
FDIC-supervised institutions: Burden to file - 16,034 hours
Requested (new) burden 735,109 hours
Net change in burden: - 26,094 hours
Â
The impact of the reporting changes covered by this submission will vary from affected institution to affected institution depending upon an institution's individual circumstances, particularly the composition of its loan portfolio.
