already subject to the LCR and NSFR 

rules with total consolidated assets 

between $10 and $100 billion? 

As such, would the LCR rule’s 

definition of retail customer or 

counterparty be appropriate to apply to 

reporting by institutions with less than 

$100 billion in total assets, including 

that (i) the reporting institution manages 

its transactions with a business 

customer, including deposits, unsecured 

funding, and credit facility and liquidity 

facility transactions, in the same way it 

manages its transactions with 

individuals; and (ii) transactions with 

the business customer have liquidity 

risk characteristics that are similar to 

comparable transactions with 

individuals? 

D. Timing 

Beginning with the June 30, 2021, 

report date, the agencies propose all 

institutions filing the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 

041, and FFIEC 051 Call Reports would 

complete Schedule RC–E, Memorandum 

items 1.h.(1) through 1.h.(4) and 1.i, to 

report the deposit data discussed in 

section II.B. of this Supplementary 

Information section. Thereafter, as noted 

above, these data items would be 

collected quarterly on the FFIEC 031 

and 041 Call Reports and semiannually 

on the FFIEC 051 Call Report. Beginning 

as of the same report date, all 

institutions filing the FFIEC 031 Call 

Report with $100 billion or more in total 

assets would complete Schedule RC–E, 

Memorandum items 1.h.(1)(a), 1.h.(2)(a), 

1.h.(3)(a), and 1.h.(4)(a) to report the 

additional deposit data discussed in 

section II.B. 

Beginning with the June 30, 2021, 

report date, insured U.S. branches of 

foreign banks would complete the five 

Memorandum items applicable to all 

institutions filing Call Reports in FFIEC 

002 Schedule O quarterly as discussed 

in section II.B. above. 

The brokered deposits final rule takes 

effect April 1, 2021. Full compliance 

with this final rule is extended to 

January 1, 2022. The extended 

compliance date is intended to provide 

sufficient time for institutions to put in 

place systems to implement the new 

regulatory regime. The Call Report will 

provide two sets of instructions that will 

allow institutions to either (1) comply 

with the new regulation starting on the 

June 30, 2021, report date, or (2) 

continue to rely upon existing FDIC staff 

advisory opinions or other 

interpretations that predated the 

brokered deposits final rule in 

determining whether deposits placed by 

or through an agent or nominee are 

brokered deposits for purposes of 

reporting brokered deposit data in the 

Call Report through the December 31, 

2021, report date. 

The specific wording of the captions 

for the proposed new Call Report 

Schedule RC–E Memorandum items and 

FFIEC 002 Schedule O Memorandum 

items discussed in this proposal and the 

numbering of these Memorandum items 

should be regarded as preliminary.
