FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
Rescission of Statement of Policy on
Time Limits for Filing Reports of
Condition
AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Rescission of statement of
policy.
SUMMARY: As part of the FDIC’s
systematic review of its regulations and
written policies under Section 303(a) of
the Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994
32814 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 25, 1996 / Notices
(CDRI Act), the FDIC is rescinding its
policy statement concerning time limits
for filing Reports of Condition
(Statement). The Statement, which was
adopted in 1976, established a deadline
for submitting the Consolidated Reports
of Condition and Consolidated Reports
of Income (Call Reports) required to be
filed by FDIC-supervised banks,
announced that these reports must be
prepared as of the last day of each
calendar quarter (report dates), and
recited the statutory penalty then in
effect for failing to file these reports by
the deadline. The FDIC is rescinding the
Statement because it is now outmoded.
The submission deadlines and report
dates for Call Reports are fully
explained in the Call Report
instructions now issued by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC). Efforts also are
currently under way to reflect the
submission deadlines in the FDIC’s
Rules and Regulations. In addition, the
statutory penalty has been changed
since the Statement’s issuance. The civil
money penalties that the FDIC currently
may assess for the late filing of a Call
Report are clearly set forth in the FDIC’s
regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This Statement is
rescinded effective June 25, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert F. Storch, Chief, Accounting
Section, Division of Supervision, (202)
898–8906, or H. Andrea Gribble, Senior
Counsel, Legal Division, (202) 736–
3047, FDIC, 550 17th Street, NW.,
Washington, D.C. 20429.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC
is conducting a systematic review of its
regulations and written policies. Section
303(a) of the CDRI Act (12 U.S.C.
4803(a)) requires each federal banking
agency to streamline and modify its
regulations and written policies in order
to improve efficiency, reduce
unnecessary costs, and eliminate
unwarranted constraints on credit
availability. Section 303(a) also requires
each federal banking agency to remove
inconsistencies and outmoded and
duplicative requirements from its
regulations and written policies.
As part of this review, the FDIC has
determined that the Statement is
outmoded, and that the FDIC’s written
policies can be streamlined by its
elimination.
The Statement was published on July
12, 1976 (41 FR 28583). One of the
purposes of the Statement was to extend
the submission deadline for Reports of
Condition from ten to 30 days after the
report date because the FDIC’s Board of
Directors (Board) had determined that
FDIC-supervised banks needed
additional time to complete these
reports. The Board also determined that
the submission deadline for the Reports
of Condition and the Reports of Income
should be the same. Another purpose of
the Statement was to announce that, by
mutual agreement of the FDIC
Chairman, the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board, the dates as of
which Call Reports must be prepared
each year would be March 31, June 30,
September 30, and December 31.
Previously, banks had been required to
prepare their first and third Call Reports
of each year as of varying dates that
were other than March 31 and
September 30. Finally, the Statement
recited the statutory penalty that was
then in effect for failing to file the
Report of Condition by the submission
deadline.
Subsequent to the issuance of the
Statement, in 1978, Congress created the
FFIEC, of which the FDIC is a member.
Section 1006(c) of the FFIEC Act
requires the FFIEC to develop uniform
reporting standards for federally-
supervised financial institutions. In
1988, the FFIEC took final action to
define the term ‘‘submission date’’ for
the Call Reports and to establish specific
deadlines for submitting these reports
by various delivery methods (53 FR
32104). This action was preceded by the
FFIEC’s solicitation of public comments
on these matters (53 FR 11558). The
FFIEC carefully considered the
comments that were received before
making its final decision. The definition
of the term ‘‘submission date’’ and the
specific deadlines themselves, as well as
the calendar quarter-end report dates,
have been incorporated into the
Instructions—Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income issued by the
FFIEC. Thus, the information in the
policy statement on the timing for
submitting Call Reports is no longer
entirely accurate. Amending the policy
statement would serve little purpose.
Efforts are currently under way to
amend the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations
to reflect the submission deadlines. The
FDIC believes that it would be
redundant for information that will be
covered by regulation and is fully
explained in the Call Report
instructions to be repeated in a policy
statement.
Section 911(c) of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 amended
section 7(a)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817(a)(1)) to
increase the statutory penalty for a
bank’s failure to file the Call Report on
time to amounts in excess of the amount
cited in the Statement. The civil money
penalties that the FDIC currently may
assess for the late filing of a Call Report
or the filing of a false or misleading Call
Report are also described in section
308.132(c)(2) of the FDIC’s Rules and
Regulations (12 C.F.R. § 308.132(c)(2)).
The FDIC believes that it is unnecessary
for a policy statement to restate
penalties that are clearly set forth in its
regulations.
For the above reasons, the Statement
is hereby rescinded.
By order of the Board of Directors.
Dated at Washington, D.C., this 17th day of
June, 1996.
