Abstract: Insured domestically chartered commercial banks and savings associations (U.S. banks) that have one or more branch offices in a foreign country are required to report balance sheet information for each of their foreign branches on either the FFIEC 030 or FFIEC 030S. The FFIEC 030 is collected annually as of December 31 or quarterly for significant branches as of the last day of each calendar quarter. The FFIEC 030S is an abbreviated reporting form filed annually by smaller institutions. The Federal Reserve receives reports for all foreign branches of U.S. banks, regardless of charter type, on behalf of the U.S. banks’ primary federal bank regulatory agency (Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively the agencies)). The agencies use the FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S reports to fulfill their statutory obligation to supervise foreign operations of domestic banks.
