Insured financial institutions must provide quarterly reports of condition and income (Call Reports) to the appropriate regulatory agency for supervisory, surveillance, regulatory, research, insurance assessment and informational purposes. Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires all insured depository institutions to submit four "reports of condition" each year to their primary federal bank supervisory authority, i.e., the FDIC, the OCC, or the FRB, as appropriate. FDIC-supervised institutions, i.e., insured state nonmember banks and state savings associations, submit these reports to the FDIC. The FDIC uses the quarterly Call Reports to monitor the condition and performance of individual institutions and the industry as a whole. In addition, Call Reports provide the FDIC with the most current statistical data available for evaluating depository institution corporate applications such as mergers; identifying areas of focus for both on-site and off-site examinations; calculating all insured institutions' deposit insurance and Financing Corporation assessments; and other public purposes. Within the Call Report information collection system, separate report forms apply to institutions that have domestic and foreign offices (FFIEC 031) and to institutions with domestic offices only (FFIEC 041 and, for those with total assets less than $5 billion, FFIEC 051).

The agencies are amending their regulatory capital rule that, among other things, modifies the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio (eSLR) standards applicable to U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies and their subsidiary depository institutions. While there is a small increase in burden hours for certain institutions filing the FFIEC 031, the estimated burden for filing the Call Reports is estimated to decrease due to the reduction of FDIC-supervised institutions filing the Call Report.
