General Description of Report

This information collection is

the Board of Governors of the Federal

Reserve System; sections 7 and 10 of the

Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12

U.S.C. 1817, 1820) for the Federal

Abstract

All individual U.S. branches and

agencies of foreign banks that have more

than $30 million in direct claims on

residents of foreign countries must file

the FFIEC 019 report quarterly.

Currently, all respondents report

adjusted exposure amounts to the five

largest countries having at least $20

million in total adjusted exposure. The

Agencies collect this data to monitor the

extent to which such branches and

agencies are pursuing prudent country

risk diversification policies and limiting

potential liquidity pressures. No

changes are proposed to the FFIEC 019

reporting form, however, minor

clarifications are proposed to the

instructions.

Current Actions

The instructional clarifications to the

FFIEC 019 report that are the subject of

this notice have been approved by the

Agencies for implementation as of the

September 30, 2000, report date. The

proposed clarifications involve the

treatment of credit derivatives as

guarantees.

collections are necessary for the proper

assumptions used;
