I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

A. WHO MUST REPORT ON WHICH FORMS

Every institution (Applicant) seeking to participate in the Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP) 

of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is required to submit an Initial Supplemental Report no 

later than 10 business days before the closing date of its ECIP investment. For example, if an

Applicant’s ECIP closing date is Tuesday, May 24, 2022, then the Applicant must submit this report by 

Tuesday, May 10, 2022.

The purpose of the Initial Supplemental Report is to establish the baseline amount of Qualified Lending, 

as defined in the Glossary, by an Applicant, which will be used to measure increases in Qualified Lending 

in subsequent years during the ECIP investment period. The baseline is established by measuring the 

amount of Qualified Lending during the baseline year, which is the one-year period ending on September 

30, 2020. For Applicants that are bank holding companies or savings and loan holding companies, the 

baseline is established by measuring the aggregate amount of Qualified Lending by the bank holding 

company or savings and loan holding company’s insured depository institution subsidiaries during the 

baseline year.

Insured depository institutions, bank holding companies, and savings and loan holding companies should 

use these instructions to complete the Initial Supplemental Report. Credit unions should use the 

Instructions for the Initial Supplemental Report for Credit Unions, not this document. Applicants must

prepare and file the Initial Supplemental Report in accordance with these instructions.

The Initial Supplemental Report has two schedules. Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation 

is used to calculate the baseline amount of Qualified Lending, subject to a floor and ceiling as described 

below. Schedule B–Disaggregated Data on Qualified Lending and Deep Impact Lending is used to 

present further detail on the composition of the Applicant’s Qualified Lending. Both schedules must be

completed using a spreadsheet template, available on the ECIP website, and uploaded to the ECIP Portal, 

as described below. 

If you have general questions regarding this form, please contact the Emergency Capital Investment 

Program at ECIP@treasury.gov.

B. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF PRACTICE

Unless otherwise stated, the Initial Supplemental Report and the Instructions for the Initial Supplemental 

Report incorporate the definitions and general rules of practice embodied in the Consolidated Reports of 

Condition and Income for Banks (Call Report), as well as the instructions pertaining thereto, or the Call 

Report of the bank holding company or savings and loan holding company’s insured depository 

institution subsidiaries.

C. ORGANIZATION OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

These instructions are divided into three sections:

1. General Instructions describing overall reporting requirements.

D. SUBMISSION OF THE REPORT: SCHEDULE A–BASELINE QUALIFIED LENDING 

CALCULATION

Each Applicant seeking to participate in the ECIP must file its Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending 

Calculation through the ECIP Portal using the following steps:

1. The person filling out the report must have a sign-on account with ID.me to validate his or her 

identity prior to accessing the ECIP Portal. Instructions for registering for an ID.me account can 

be found here: ID.me registration instructions.

2. Download the Baseline Qualified Lending Summary Template corresponding to your institution 

type from the ECIP Portal. There are separate templates for credit unions and banks or holding 

companies. Do not change any formatting, add rows or columns, or make any other 

alteration to the template. Once filled out, the template must be uploaded in a .csv format.

3. Prepare your Qualified Lending data in accordance with these instructions and fill out the 

template. Do not enter commas, decimal points, dollar signs, letters, or symbols. Applicants are 

strongly encouraged to enter zeros in any column or row for which the Applicant does not have 

origination data to report. Blank cells will be treated as zeros. All fields must be completed. 

Please double-check all figures before submitting a report. Save the completed template as a local 

file on your computer or your network. 

4. Log into the ECIP Portal online, click on the “Supplemental Reporting” tab, and upload your 

template using the “Upload Files” option. 

5. Once uploaded, the “Baseline Qualified Lending” tab will generate an output report based on the 

data entered in the template, which will look similar to the example table below. Review the 

output report and confirm that the data is presented accurately. If any data is incorrect, make 

changes to your .csv file and repeat the steps to upload the corrected report.

OMB Number: 1505-0275, Version #1 4

6. You will be presented with a Data Output table and Data Reference table. The Data Output table, 

like the example below, will display the Total Originations and Total Qualified Lending 

calculated based on the data reported in your .csv file. Please see the Line-Item Instructions for 

Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation (Section II.B) in these instructions for more 

information on how items 12A and 12B are calculated. Review items 12A and 12B for accuracy. 

If the results do not match your expected results, please review the .csv file for any errors and 

upload a corrected version.

7. The Data Reference table, like the example below, provides several reference points which will 

be calculated by the system to assist you in determining whether your determination of Baseline 

Qualified Lending is within the anticipated range. Please see the Line-Item Instructions for 

Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation (Section II.B) in these instructions for more 

information on how items 13A, 13B and 13C are calculated. 

8. You will be presented with Recipient Input fields, like the example below. Report your Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 14A. Please see the Line-Item Instructions for Schedule A–Baseline 

Qualified Lending Calculation (Section II.B) in these instructions for more information on how to 

determine Baseline Qualified Lending. You will be required to attach a narrative explanation if 

the Applicant reports an amount in item 14A that is either: (i) different than the amount listed in 

item 12B; (ii) lower than the amount in item 13B; or (iii) higher than the amount listed in item 

13C.

F. LENDING ACTIVITY

The Applicant must report all Qualified Lending, as defined in the Glossary, for the period from October 

1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Qualified Lending is a subset of Lending Activity, as defined in the 

Glossary and in this section of these instructions, and thus, an Applicant should first identify its Lending 

Activity. Only Lending Activity that can be verified as meeting the definition of Qualified Lending 

should be included in the Initial Supplemental Report.

Applicants that are bank holding companies or savings and loan holding companies should aggregate data 

for all of the holding company’s insured depository institution subsidiaries.

Components of Lending Activity. For purposes of the baseline, Lending Activity includes: 

• all new extensions of credit that would be reportable during the baseline year in the Call Report 

or equivalent regulatory report; 

• loans originated and sold during the baseline year, even if not reportable in the Call Report or 

equivalent regulatory report due to such sale; 

• purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline year made by non-depository CDFI 

loan funds that were originated within one year of purchase by the institution; 

• open-ended extensions of credit if the credit was originated during the baseline year; and

• direct and indirect investments during the baseline year in real estate ventures and equity 

investments without readily determinable fair values.

Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these instructions, Lending Activity excludes:

• any loans made under the Paycheck Protection Program;

• the portion of any loan for which, on the date of origination, a third party other than the U.S. 

government assumed the credit risk of the loan; and

• any loan that is an extension or renewal of any existing loan unless it involves an increase of 20% 

or more in the principal amount of the loan, in which case the entire loan amount, including the 

increase, is eligible for inclusion.

Originations. Report new loans and extensions of credit completed during the reporting period. Report 

loans originated and sold during the baseline year as long as the loan was not sold on the day of 

origination. 
ECIP Instructions for Initial Supplemental Report for IDIs, BHCs and SLHCs

OMB Number: 1505-0275, Version #1 7

Lines of Credit. Report the full amount authorized (the maximum credit limit) for an open-ended 

extension of credit if the credit was established during the baseline year. For example, if the Applicant 

established a $2 million line of credit during the baseline year, include $2 million in Lending Activity. A

line of credit that is an extension or renewal of an existing line of credit is excluded from Lending 

Activity unless it involves an increase of 20% or more in the principal amount of the line of credit, in 

which case the entire authorized amount, including the increase, is eligible for inclusion. Funds drawn on 

a line of credit that was established before the baseline year must not be included in Lending Activity. 

Loan Purchases. Report the purchase price for purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline 

year made by non-depository CDFI loan funds that were originated within one year of purchase by the 

institution. 

Investments. Direct and indirect investments in real estate and equity investments without readily 

determinable fair values should be calculated on a cash basis. These investment categories include equity 

investments that are public welfare investments and community development investments. Do not report 

unfunded investment commitments. 

Lending Activity Categories. The Lending Activity categories are defined based on the instructions to 

the Call Report. For example, Lending Activity reportable on Line 1 in Schedule A–Baseline Qualified 

Lending Calculation is originations of loans that would be classified as “Loans secured by construction, 

land development, and other land loans” on the Call Report or equivalent regulatory report. The Initial 

Supplemental Report measures loan originations, not loan balances. Do not report balances from the Call 

Report Schedule RC. 

Mergers, Acquisitions or Business Combinations. If the Applicant has completed a merger, 

acquisition, or other business combination with another institution prior to the date of closing of the ECIP 

investment, include the Lending Activity of the acquired institution for the entire baseline year in your 

report. 

Total Originations. In Schedule A and Schedule B, applicants should report their total Lending Activity 

for the baseline year in the columns that ask for “Total Originations,” including Lending Activity that is 

not Qualified Lending or Deep Impact Lending. In Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation, 

“Total Originations” are reported in columns A and B. In Schedule B–Disaggregated Data on Qualified 

Lending and Deep Impact Lending, “Total Originations” are reported in column A. Activity that is 

excluded from Lending Activity, such as loan extensions or renewals unless there is an increase of 20% or 

more in the principal amount of the loan, must not be included in “Total Originations.”

G. QUALIFIED LENDING 

Target Communities. Qualified Lending is a subset of Lending Activity. Lending Activity is considered 

Qualified Lending or Deep Impact Lending if it is made to one of the Target Communities in the table 

below. Refer to the Glossary to these instructions for further information on the categories of Target 

Communities. 

Place-based Categories of Target Communities. To determine whether a loan is made to a place-based 

Target Community in the table below (for example, whether a loan is made to a Rural Community), use 
ECIP Instructions for Initial Supplemental Report for IDIs, BHCs and SLHCs

OMB Number: 1505-0275, Version #1 8

the address of the real property for loans collateralized by real property, and the address of the borrower 

for all other lending. 

Purchases of Loans Made by Non-depository CDFI Loan Funds. As noted above, Lending Activity

includes purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline year made by non-depository CDFI 

loan funds that were originated within one year of purchase by the institution. These purchases or 

participations are only eligible to qualify as Qualified Lending or Deep Impact Lending if the underlying 

loan is made to a Target Community listed in the table below.

II. SCHEDULE A–BASELINE QUALIFIED LENDING 

CALCULATION

A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE A–BASELINE QUALIFIED LENDING 

CALCULATION 

Qualified Lending and Deep Impact Lending. For the purposes of the baseline, Qualified Lending and 

Deep Impact Lending count equally. Report Deep Impact Lending as part of Qualified Lending in 

Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation. 

Loans to Multiple Target Communities. A loan or investment may be to more than one target 

community. For example, a loan may be made to a Low-income Borrower in a Persistent Poverty County. 

In Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation, each loan must only be counted towards 

Qualified Lending once. That is, a loan should be counted towards Qualified Lending if it is made to any 

of the target communities outlined above.

Baseline Lending Floor. An institution’s Qualified Lending baseline will be subject to a floor 

determined based on the lending reported by the institution for fiscal year 2020 in Question 1(a) in the 

institution’s Emergency Investment Lending Plan. The Line-Item Instructions for items 13A and 13B in 

Schedule A–Baseline Qualified Lending Calculation provide more information on how the floor is 

calculated. Treasury expects that an institution’s Qualified Lending baseline will generally be higher than 

the calculated floor because the scope of lending activity that would be considered Qualified Lending is 

broader than the scope of lending activity that was reportable in Question 1(a) in the Emergency 

Investment Lending Plan. 

Narrative Explanation. Applicants may determine which of their Lending Activity meets the definitions 

of Qualified Lending by: (i) geocoding their loans against the Place-based categories of Target 

Communities; (ii) using Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data; and (iii) any other methodology or data 

which reasonably identifies Qualified Lending. The narrative should describe which methodology, or 

combination of methodologies, applicants used to identify their Qualified Lending. 

B. LINE-ITEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE A–BASELINE QUALIFIED LENDING 

CALCULATION 

1 - 11. For each of lines 1 through 11, report originations of the loans or investments described in the 

line number. For example, in line 1, report originations of loans that would be classified as 

“Loans secured by construction, land development, and other land loans” on the Call Report or 

equivalent regulatory report. In column A, report the total number of loan originations or 

investments. In column B, report the dollar value of total loan originations or investments. In 

column C, report the number of loan originations or investments that meet the definition of 

Qualified Lending. In column D, report the dollar value of originations or investments that meet 

the definition of Qualified Lending. 

12A. Total Originations. This is the sum of all Lending Activity by the Applicant for the baseline 

year. This amount should equal the sum of column B (items 1B through 11B).

12B. Total Qualified Lending. This is the sum of all Qualified Lending (including Deep Impact 

Lending) reported by the Applicant for the baseline year. This amount should equal the sum of 

column D (items 1D through 11D).

ECIP Instructions for Initial Supplemental Report for IDIs, BHCs and SLHCs

OMB Number: 1505-0275, Version #1 11

13B. Floor for Baseline Qualified Lending. Item 13B is the floor for the Baseline Qualified Lending

for the Applicant. Item 13B is calculated by multiplying total originations (item 12A) by the 

percentage of lending to LMI and Other Targeted Populations (item 13A).

13C. Ceiling for Baseline Qualified Lending. Item 13C is the ceiling for the Baseline Qualified 

Lending for the Applicant. The baseline ceiling is total originations (item 12A). Baseline 

Qualified Lending may not be more than total originations.

14A. Baseline Qualified Lending. Report the Baseline Qualified Lending for the Applicant, which

should be calculated using the following steps:

(i) Is total Qualified Lending in item 12B higher than the floor for Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 13B AND lower than the ceiling for Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 13C?

a. If yes: The Baseline Qualified Lending is equal to total Qualified Lending in 

item 12B. 

b. If no: Continue to (ii)

(ii) Is total Qualified Lending in item 12B lower than the floor for Baseline Qualified 

Lending in item 13B?

a. If yes: The Baseline Qualified Lending is equal to the floor for Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 13B. 

b. If no: Continue to (iii)

(iii) Is total Qualified Lending in item 12B higher than the ceiling for Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 13C?

a. If yes: The Baseline Qualified Lending is equal to the ceiling for Baseline 

Qualified Lending in item 13C. 

b. If no: Please confirm your inputs are accurate. 

Treasury will use the value reported in item 14A, subject to Treasury review as necessary, as the 

Applicant’s Baseline Qualified Lending for purposes of calculating the dividend or interest rate 

payable on the ECIP instruments issued by the Applicant in accordance with the terms of the 

instruments. 

14B. Narrative Explanation for Schedule A. Attach a narrative explanation of the methodology the 

Applicant used to generate the data in lines 1-11.

14C. Narrative Explanation for Baseline Qualified Lending. Enter a narrative explanation if the 

amount entered in item 14A is either (i) different than the amount in item 12B; (ii) lower than the 

amount in item 13B; or (iii) higher than the amount in item 13C.

14D. CEO or CFO Certification. Either the CEO or CFO (or persons performing equivalent 

functions) of the Applicant must electronically certify the accuracy of Schedule A by typing their 

name in item 14D. 

14E. CEO or CFO Title. Identify whether the certification in item 14D was provided by the CEO or 

CFO (or equivalent) of the Applicant.

III. SCHEDULE B – DISAGGREGATED DATA ON QUALIFIED 

LENDING AND DEEP IMPACT LENDING 

A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE B – DISAGGREGATED DATA ON 

QUALIFIED LENDING AND DEEP IMPACT LENDING 

Schedule B – Disaggregated Data on Qualified Lending and Deep Impact Lending collects Lending 

Activity by Qualified Lending or Deep Impact Lending category. Since Schedule B collects historical 

data based on demographic or other borrower characteristics Applicants may not have access to, 

Applicants should report data in Schedule B on a best-efforts basis using data that is reasonably available 

to the Applicant. Applicants are not required to collect demographic or other borrower characteristics that 

they do not already have access to solely for the purpose of completing Schedule B. 

Loans to Multiple Target Communities. A loan or investment may be to more than one target 

community. For example, a loan may be made to a Low-income Borrower in a Persistent Poverty County. 

In Schedule B – Disaggregated Data on Qualified Lending and Deep Impact Lending, report each loan in 

each applicable target community category. For example, a loan made to a Low-income Borrower in a 

Persistent Poverty County must be included in both columns D and J. The same loan or investment may 

be included in both Qualified Lending and Deep Impact Lending. Since a single loan may be reported in 

more than one column, Treasury expects that aggregating lending activity across columns (such as adding 

together items 2B through 2S) will not equal values reported in Schedule A-Baseline Qualified Lending 

Calculation and will not provide useful data points. 

Purchases of Loans Made by Non-depository CDFI Loan Funds. As noted above, Lending Activity

includes purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline year made by non-depository CDFI 

loan funds that were originated within one year of purchase by the institution. In Schedule B, include as 

Deep Impact Lending purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline year made by non-profit

non-depository CDFI loan funds that were originated within one year of purchase by the institution AND

that were made to a Target Community listed under Deep Impact Lending in the table above (e.g., 

Persistent Poverty Counties). Purchases of or participations in loans during the baseline year made by forprofit non-depository CDFI loan funds may only be included as Qualified Lending and not Deep Impact 

Lending even if they were made to a Target Community listed under Deep Impact Lending in the table 

above.

B. LINE ITEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE B – DISAGGREGATED DATA ON 

QUALIFIED LENDING AND DEEP IMPACT LENDING 

1 – 11. For each of lines 1 through 11, report originations of the loans or investments described in the 

line number. For example, in line 1, report originations of loans that would be classified as 

“Loans secured by construction, land development, and other land loans” on the Call Report or 

equivalent regulatory report. In column A, report the dollar value of total loan originations or 

investments. In columns B through S, report the dollar value of originations or investments that 

can be identified as having been made to the Target Community in the column heading, as 

defined in the Glossary. For example, in column B, report originations or investments that were 

made to LMI Borrowers, as defined in the Glossary. In column P, report originations or 

investments that are Public Welfare and Community Development Investments, as defined in the 

Glossary, if they primarily benefit LMI Borrowers or communities. In column S, report 

originations or investments that are Public Welfare and Community Development Investments, as 
ECIP Instructions for Initial Supplemental Report for IDIs, BHCs and SLHCs

OMB Number: 1505-0275, Version #1 13

defined in the Glossary, if they primarily benefit Low-Income Borrowers, Minority borrowers, or 

Minority Businesses.

12. Total. Report the total for each column (lines 1 through 11). 

13A. CEO or CFO Submission. Either the CEO or CFO (or persons performing equivalent functions) 

of the Applicant must electronically submit Schedule B by typing their name in item 13A. 

13B. CEO or CFO Title. Identify whether the confirmation in item 13A was provided by the CEO or 

CFO (or equivalent) of the Applicant.

IV. GLOSSARY

The following definitions apply to the Initial Supplemental Report and these instructions. 

“Affordable Housing” means financing for any affordable housing development project that has received 

a funding allocation under a state’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program (9% or 4% 

credits) or from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grantee utilizing HOME or 

Housing Trust Fund grant funds.

“Area Median Income” means the estimated median family income as defined in the “Census and Federal 

Financial Institutions Examining Council Estimated MSA/MD Median Family Income for 2020 

CRA/HMDA Reports” file located at: https://www.ffiec.gov/Medianincome.htm.

“Community Service Facility” means financing of a facility that is a “community service facility” as 

defined in 26 USC § 42(d)(4)(C)(iii) and that is underwritten on the basis of primarily serving LowIncome Borrowers or Other Targeted Populations or are sponsored by a unit of government to serve LowIncome Borrowers or Other Targeted Populations. 

“Deep Impact Lending” is a subset of Qualified Lending. Lending Activity is considered Deep Impact 

Lending if it is made to one of the Target Communities listed in the “Deep Impact Lending” column in 

Table 1–Target Communities in these instructions.

“Deeply Affordable Housing” means financing for any (1) affordable housing units restricted to 

households earning below 30% of area median income1 for a period not less than 10 years, prorated based
