Data collection, maintenance, and reporting are important aspects of large-institution evaluations under CRA. This guide can be used as a resource when collecting and maintaining data, creating a submission, and posting lending data in the CRA public file. It is designed to reduce burden on the approximately 2,000 financial institutions subject to the reporting requirements of the CRA regulations. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Users of this guide should be aware of its limitations. It relates only to the collection, maintenance, and reporting of small-business and small-farm loan data and to the collection, maintenance, and reporting (as applicable) of other loan data (except data on home mortgage loans) that may be considered during CRA evaluations. Although this guide addresses many issues relating to these matters, new issues arise often; they should be directed to the CRA Assistance Line at (202) 8727584 or crahelp@frb.gov. Use of this guide is not a substitute for familiarity with the CRA regulations and the interagency questions and answers (Qs&As) that interpret those regulations. The regulations and Qs&As may be revised from time to time, and you should consult them to determine whether this edition of the guide reflects the most recent revisions. Both are available on the FFIEC’s Internet site at www.ffiec.gov/cra. 4 Executive Summary: Compliance Responsibilities Purpose of CRA The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) is implemented by regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the agencies) in 12 CFR parts 25, 228, 345, and 563e. The CRA regulations require that information on business, farm, and community development lending by large insured depository institutions be made available to the public. CRA directs the agencies to encourage insured depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they are chartered. CRA does not prohibit any activity, nor is it intended to encourage unsafe or unsound practices or the allocation of credit. CRA requires that each insured depository institution’s record in helping to meet the credit needs of its entire community, including lowand moderate-income neighborhoods, be assessed periodically. That record is taken into account when considering an institution’s applications for deposit facilities, including mergers and acquisitions. The CRA regulations contain different evaluation methods for different types of institutions: the lending, investment, and service tests for large retail institutions; the community development test for wholesale or limited-purpose institutions; the streamlined performance standards for small institutions; and the strategic-plan A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting option for institutions with approved strategic plans. The Consumer Compliance Task Force of the FFIEC promotes consistency in the implementation of the CRA regulations by periodically publishing interagency Qs&As and examination procedures and by facilitating uniform data reporting. Who Must Report All state member banks, state nonmember banks, national banks, and savings associations that are not small or special-purpose institutions are subject to the data collection and reporting requirements of the CRA. For the purpose of collecting and reporting small business and smallfarm loan data, a small institution is a bank or thrift that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had total assets of less than $250 million and was independent or an affiliate of a holding company that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had total banking and thrift assets of less than $1 billion. Institutions that are not small are considered large institutions (see the glossary, beginning on page 23, for definitions). When to Report Data for a given year must be submitted to the Board, the designated processor for all of the agencies, by March 1 of the following year. Merging Institutions Following are three scenarios describing data collection and 5 Executive Summary: Compliance Responsibilities reporting responsibilities for the calendar year of a merger and for subsequent years. Scenario One Two institutions are exempt from CRA collection and reporting requirements because of asset size. The institutions merge. No data collection is required for the year in which the merger takes place, regardless of the resulting asset size. Data collection would begin after two consecutive years in which the combined institution had yearend assets of at least $250 million or was part of a holding company that had year-end banking and thrift assets of at least $1 billion. Scenario Two Institution A, an institution required to collect and report data, and Institution B, an exempt institution, merge. Institution A is the surviving institution. For the year of the merger, data collection is required for Institution A’s transactions. Data collection is optional for the transactions of the previously exempt institution. For the following year, all transactions of the surviving institution must be collected and reported. Scenario Three Two institutions, each of which is required to collect and report the data, merge. Data collection is required for the entire year of the merger and for subsequent years, so long as the surviving institution is not exempt. The surviving institution may file either a consolidated submission or separate submissions for the year of the merger but must file a consolidated report for subsequent years. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Institutions with No Small-Business or Small-Farm Loans Reporting Requirements An institution that has not purchased or originated any small-business or small-farm loans during the reporting period would not submit the composite loan records for smallbusiness or small-farm loans. However, all institutions subject to data reporting requirements must submit the information discussed below under “Reporting Requirements.” At a minimum, institutions must submit, in electronic format: Lenders Covered by Home Mortgage Disclosure Act If an institution is not required to collect home mortgage loan data by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), it need not collect home mortgage loan data under the CRA. Examiners will sample an institution’s home mortgage loans to evaluate its home mortgage lending. If an institution wants to ensure that examiners consider all of its home mortgage loans, it may collect and maintain data on these loans. Modification, extension and consolidation agreements (MECAs) are transactions in which an institution obtains loans from another institution without actually purchasing or refinancing the loans. In some states, MECAs, which are not considered loan refinancings because the existing loan obligations are not satisfied and replaced, are common. Although these transactions are not considered to be purchases or refinancings, as those terms have been interpreted under CRA, they do achieve the same results. An institution may present information about its MECA activities to examiners for consideration under the lending test as “other loan data.” · a transmittal sheet, · a definition of its assessment area(s), · a record of its community development (CD) loans. (If an institution does not have CD loans to report, the record should be sent with “0” in the CD loan composite data fields); and · information on small-business and small-farm loans, if applicable CRA data are aggregated on the census tract level, and each tract represents one record in an entire data submission. For example: · Six different small-business loans made in the same census tract would count as one composite record. · Six different small-farm loans, three in one census tract and three in another, would count as two composite records. File Specifications and Edit Validations The FFIEC makes available free CRA data preparation software to any institution that wishes to use it. The software includes some basic analytical reports regarding an institution’s data. To obtain a copy of the latest version of the software, contact the CRA Assistance Line at (202) 872-7584. If an institution finds that the FFIEC’s software does not meet its needs, it may create a data submission using the File Specifications and Edit Validation Rules that have been set forth to 6 Executive Summary: Compliance Responsibilities assist with electronic data submissions. For information about specific electronic formatting procedures, contact the CRA Assistance Line at (202) 872-7584 or click on “How to File” at www.ffiec.gov/cra. File Specifications Institutions that develop their own programs must follow the precise format laid out in the CRA File Specifications. This file format should be incorporated into an automated system to ensure an error-free data submission. Edit Validation Rules Syntactical (S) — Records that contain errors that may prevent them from being uploaded to the FFIEC database. These errors range from incorrect activity years to duplicate property locations, which indicate that the property combination for that record identifier was used more than once. These records will not be reflected in your disclosure statement until the appropriate corrections have been made. Validity (V) — Records containing incorrect information. The most common validity errors are incorrect census tract/BNA numbers. These records will not be reflected in your disclosure statement until the appropriate corrections have been made. Quality (Q) — Loan information that, while it may pass all syntactical and validity edits, is nevertheless statistically unusual and is subject to further investigation or review to confirm correctness. For a majority of the quality edits, if the data are correct, no changes are necessary and the data will be reflected. When an institution chooses to create an electronic data submission, it must edit its data using the CRA Edit Validation Rules. These rules are designed to ensure data integrity and to prevent errors. CRA edit validations are divided into three edit types: syntactical, validity, and quality. Each type corresponds to errors of a different degree of severity, and each must be thoroughly understood to ensure that the data are accurate and complete. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting 7 Collecting the Data Composite Loan Data Transmittal Sheet The transmittal sheet is used to identify each institution. Institutions are asked to provide a reporter’s identification (RID) number. This number corresponds to the certificate number for FDICsupervised institutions, the docket number for institutions supervised by the OTS, and the charter number for OCC-supervised institutions. If an institution is supervised by the Board, the Research, Statistics, Supervision and Regulation, and Discount and Credit (RSSD) Number is used. Board-supervised institutions that do not know their RSSD numbers should contact the CRA Assistance Line at (202) 872-7584 or crahelp@frb.gov to obtain it. The transmittal sheet provides valuable institution and contact information. It is important that the institution’s name, contact name, address, phone number, and fax number be correct since all future correspondence will be based on that information. Because area codes are subject to change, it is important to review phone and fax numbers for accuracy before data submission. Assessment Area(s) Delineation For institutions other than those designated as wholesale or limitedpurpose (see the glossary), assessment areas must consist generally of one or more metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) or one or more contiguous political subdivisions such as counties, cities, or towns. An institution must A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting include the geographies in which its main office, branches, and deposittaking ATMs are located as well as the surrounding geographies in which it has originated or purchased a substantial portion of its loans. Please refer to section __.41 of the regulations and the interagency Qs&As for further guidance, particularly Q&A __.41(e)(4)–1, which explains limitations on the size of assessment areas. Note: When you are entering information about small-business and small-farm loans, you need to provide MSA, state, county, and tract/BNA information to indicate the location of the loan. The information that you provide in the loan data entry screens is not your assessment area(s). This is simply the loan’s location. Assessment Area(s) Reporting If your assessment area(s) includes an entire MSA, you should report: Include/ Exclude MSA State County Census Tract/ BNA + NA NA NA 0520 If your assessment area(s) includes an MSA less one county, you should report: Include/ Exclude MSA State County Census Tract/ BNA + 0520 NA NA NA - 0520 NA 151 NA If your assessment area(s) includes or consists of an entire county, you should report: Include/ Exclude MSA State County Census Tract/ BNA + 13 089 NA 0520 8 Collecting the Data For more assessment area(s) delineation examples, please refer to the CRA Edits, which can be found at www.ffiec.gov/cra/ edits.htm. regarding the community development purpose and location of the community development loans that they report at the time of their examination. Community Development Loans Note: If an institution is not a wholesale or limited-purpose institution, it cannot designate a loan as a community development loan if the loan has already been reported or collected by the institution or an affiliate as a small-business, smallfarm, consumer, or home mortgage loan (except in the case of a multifamily dwelling loan, which may be considered a community development loan as well as a home mortgage loan). Further, except for multifamily affordable housing loans, if a loan meets the definition of a small-business, small-farm, consumer, or home mortgage loan, retail institutions must collect and report the loan in this manner. Retail institutions may not choose to collect and report it as a community development loan. Institutions subject to data reporting requirements must report the aggregate number and amount of community development loans originated or purchased during the prior calendar year. A community development loan has community development as its primary purpose. As defined in the regulations, “community development” means— · affordable housing (including multifamily rental housing) for lowor moderate-income individuals; · community services targeted to low- or moderate-income individuals; · activities that promote economic development by financing businesses or farms that meet the size eligibility standards of the Small Business Administration’s Development Company or Small Business Investment Company programs (13 CFR 121.301) or have gross annual revenues of $1 million or less; or · activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or moderate-income geographies. In addition to having a community development purpose, a community development loan must also benefit the institution’s assessment area(s) or a broader statewide or regional area that includes the institution’s assessment area(s). Institutions should be prepared to provide examiners with information A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Primary Purpose As long as the primary purpose of the loan is community development, the full amount of the institution’s loan should be included in its report of aggregate community development lending. A loan has a primary purpose of community development when it is designed for the express purpose of community development. Refer to the interagency Qs&As for further discussion of primary purpose, particularly Q&A __.12(i) and 563e.12(h)–7. Affiliate Loans Affiliate means any company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another company. The term “control” has the meaning given to that term in 12 U.S.C. 1841(a)(2), and a company is under common control with another company if both companies are directly or indirectly controlled by the same company. An institution is not required to collect information on affiliate loans. However, an institution that elects to have its regulator consider loans by an affiliate, for purposes of the lending or community development test or an approved strategic plan, must collect, maintain, and report for those loans the data that the institution would have collected, maintained, and reported had the loans been originated or purchased by the institution. An institution may elect to have only a particular category of an affiliate’s lending considered. The basic categories of loans are home mortgage loans, small-business loans, small-farm loans, community development loans, and the five categories of consumer loans (motor vehicle loans, credit card loans, home equity loans, other secured loans, and other unsecured loans). Affiliate’s Home Mortgage Lending If an institution elects to have an affiliate’s home mortgage lending considered in its CRA evaluation and the affiliate is a HMDA reporter, the institution must be prepared to identify those loans reported by its affiliate under 12 CFR part 203 (Regulation C, implementing HMDA). At its option, the institution may either provide examiners with the affiliate’s entire HMDA disclosure statement or just those portions covering the loans in its assessment area(s) that it is electing to have considered. If the affiliate is not 9 Collecting the Data required by HMDA to report home mortgage loans, the institution must provide sufficient data concerning the affiliate’s home mortgage loans to enable the examiners to apply the performance tests. Constraints on the Consideration of Affiliate Lending No affiliate may claim a loan origination or loan purchase if another institution claims the same loan origination or purchase. However, an institution can count as a purchase a loan originated by an affiliate that the institution subsequently purchases, or count as an origination a loan later sold to an affiliate, provided the same loans are not sold several times to inflate their value for CRA purposes. If an institution elects to have its supervisory agency consider loans within a particular lending category made by one or more of the institution’s affiliates in a particular assessment area(s), the institution must elect to have the agency consider all loans within that lending category in that particular assessment area(s) made by all of the institution’s affiliates. Consortium/ Third-Party Loans Community development loans originated or purchased by a consortium in which an institution participates or by a third party in which the institution has invested: · will be considered, at the institution’s option, if the institution reports the aggregate number and aggregate amount of consortium/ third party loans originated or purchased; and · may be allocated among participants or investors, as they A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting choose, for purposes of the lending test, except that no participant or investor: — may claim a loan origination or loan purchase if another participant or investor claims the same loan origination or purchase; or — may claim loans accounting for more than its percentage share (based on the level of its participation or investment) of the total loans originated or purchased by the consortium or third party. In some circumstances, an institution may invest in a third party, such as a community development bank, that is also an insured depository institution and is thus subject to CRA requirements. However, if the financial institution and the third party are not affiliates, the third party may receive consideration for the community development loans it originates, and the financial institution that invested in the third party may also receive consideration for its pro rata share of the same community development loans under Q&A __.22(d)–3. Equity and Equity-Type Investments in a Third Party If an institution has made an equity or equity-type investment in a third party, community development loans made by the third party may be considered under the lending test. On the other hand, asset-backed and debt securities that do not represent an equity-type interest in a third party will not be considered under the lending test unless the securities are booked by the purchasing institution as a loan. primarily lends in low- and moderate-income areas or to lowand moderate-income individuals in order to promote community development, the institution may claim a pro rata share of the CDC’s loans as community development loans. The institution’s pro rata share is based on its percentage of equity ownership in the CDC. See Q&A __.22(d)–1. More information concerning consideration of an equity or equity-type investment under the investment test and both the lending and investment tests can be found in Q&A __.23(b)–1. Evaluation of Loans Made by Consortia or Third Parties under the Lending Test Loans originated or purchased by consortia in which an institution participates or by third parties in which an institution invests will only be considered if they qualify as community development loans and will be considered only under the community development criterion of the lending test. However, loans originated directly on the books of an institution or purchased by the institution are considered to have been made or purchased directly by the institution, even if the institution originated or purchased the loans as a result of its participation in a loan consortium. These loans would be considered under the appropriate lending-test criteria, depending on the type of loan. See Q&A __.22(d)–2. For example, if an institution purchases stock in a community development corporation (CDC) that 10 Collecting the Data Small-Business and Small-Farm Loans The CRA regulations require a large institution to collect and maintain, in electronic format, until the completion of its next CRA examination, the following data for each small-business or small-farm loan originated or purchased by the institution: · a unique number or alphanumeric symbol that can be used to identify the relevant loan file; · the loan amount at origination; · the loan location; and · an indicator of whether the loan was to a business or farm with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less Institutions are required to collect and report only those commercial loans that are included in “loans to small business,” as defined in the instructions for preparation of the Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Schedule RC-C, part II, of the Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report) or Schedule SB of the Thrift Financial Report (TFR), as applicable). “It is the original amount of a loan, not the annual revenue of a business or farm, that determines the classification of a loan as a small-business or small-farm loan.” Small-business loans are defined as those whose original amounts are $1 million or less and that were reported on the institution’s Call Report or TFR as either “Loans secured by nonfarm or nonresidential real estate” or “Commercial and industrial loans.” Small-farm loans are defined A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting as those whose original amounts are $500,000 or less and were reported as either “Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers” or “Loans secured by farmland.” The location of a small-business or small-farm loan must be maintained by census tract or block numbering area. In addition, supplemental information contained in the file specifications includes a date associated with the origination or purchase and whether the loan was originated or purchased by an affiliate. It is the original amount of a loan, not the annual revenue of a business or farm, that determines the classification of a loan as a smallbusiness or small-farm loan. The sections of the Call Report and TFR relating to small-business and small-farm loans are included in this guide as Appendices B and C. Aggregate Reporting An institution subject to data reporting requirements must report the aggregate number and amount of loans for each geography in which it originated or purchased a smallbusiness or small-farm loan. Loans to businesses and farms are reported by origination amounts of · $100,000 or less, · more than $100,000 but less than or equal to $250,000, and · more than $250,000. Institutions must also report loans to businesses and farms with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less, using the revenues that the institution considered in making its credit decisions. Original Amount vs. Purchase Amount When collecting and reporting information on purchased smallbusiness and small-farm loans, an institution collects and reports the amount of the loan at origination, not at the time of purchase. This is consistent with the Call Report and TFR guidelines, which use the “original amount of the loan” to determine (1) whether a loan should be reported as a “loan to a small business” or a “loan to a small farm” and (2) in which loan-size category a loan should be reported. When assessing the volume of smallbusiness and small-farm loan purchases for purposes of evaluating lending-test performance under CRA, however, examiners will evaluate an institution’s activity based on the amounts at purchase. Refinances and Renewals Data collected in 2000 and reported in 2001. An institution collects and reports information about refinancings but does not collect and report information about renewals. A refinancing typically involves the satisfaction of an existing obligation that is replaced by a new obligation undertaken by the same borrower. When an institution refinances a loan, it is considered a new origination, and loan data should be collected and reported, if otherwise required. Consistent with HMDA, however, if under the original loan agreement the institution is unconditionally obligated to refinance the loan subject to conditions within the borrower’s control, the institution should not report these events as originations. For purposes of CRA data collection and reporting requirements, the 11 Collecting the Data extension of the maturity of an existing loan is a renewal and is not considered a loan origination. Therefore, institutions should not collect and report data on loan renewals. Data collected in 2001 and subsequent years. An institution should collect information about small-business and small-farm loans that it refinances or renews as loan originations. (A refinancing generally occurs when the existing loan obligation or note is satisfied and a new note is written, while a renewal is an extension of the term of a loan. However, for purposes of smallbusiness and small-farm CRA data collection and reporting, it is no longer necessary to distinguish between the two.) When reporting small-business and small-farm data, however, an institution may report only one origination (including a renewal or refinancing treated as an origination) per loan per year, unless an increase in the loan amount is granted. If an institution increases the amount of a small-business or small-farm loan when it extends the term of the loan, it should always report the amount of the increase as a small-business or small-farm loan origination. The institution should report only the amount of the increase if the original or remaining amount of the loan has already been reported one time that year. For example, a financial institution makes a term loan for $25,000; principal payments have resulted in a present outstanding balance of $15,000. In the next year, the customer requests an additional $5,000, which is approved, and a new note is written for $20,000. In A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting this example, the institution should report both the $5,000 increase and the renewal or refinancing of the $15,000 as originations for that year. However, the institution may report the $5,000 increase together with the renewal or refinancing of the $15,000 as one origination for that year. Lines of Credit Institutions must collect and report data on lines of credit in the same way that they provide data on loan originations. Lines of credit are considered originated at the time the line is approved or increased; and an increase is considered a new origination. Generally, the full amount of the credit line is the amount that is considered originated. In the case of an increase to an existing line, the amount of the increase is the amount that is considered originated and that amount should be reported. For renewals of line of credit, the rules are as follows: Data collected in 2000 and reported in 2001. Like loan renewals, renewals of lines of credit are not considered loan originations and should not be collected or reported. Data collected in 2001 and subsequent years. Renewals of lines of credit for small-business, small-farm, or consumer purposes should be collected and reported, if applicable, in the same manner as renewals of small-business or smallfarm loans (see Q&A __.42(a)–5). Institutions that are HMDA reporters continue to collect and report home equity lines of credit at their option, in accordance with the requirements of 12 CFR part 203. Loans to Fisheries and Forestries Instructions for part I of the Call Report and Schedule SB of the TFR include loans “made for the purpose of financing fisheries and forestries, including loans to commercial fishermen” as a component of the definition of “Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers.” Part II of Schedule RC-C of the Call Report and Schedule SB of the TFR, which serve as the basis of the definition for smallbusiness and small-farm loans in the regulation, capture both “Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers” and “Loans secured by farmland.” These loans are reported as small-business or small-farm loans. Home Equity Lines of Credit Used Predominantly for Small-Business Purposes Institutions that have chosen to report home equity lines of credit under HMDA report only the portion of a home equity line used for home improvement purposes. That portion of the loan would then be consid-ered when examiners evaluate home mortgage lending. If the line meets the regulatory definition of a “community development loan,” the institution should collect and report information on the entire line as a community development loan. If the line does not qualify as a community development loan, the institution has the option of collecting and maintaining (but not reporting) the entire line of credit as “Other secured lines/loans for purposes of small business.” 12 Collecting the Data Credit Cards Issued to Small Businesses If an institution agrees to issue credit cards to a business’s employees, the institution reports all of the credit card lines opened on a particular date for that single business as one small-business loan origination rather than reporting each individual credit card line, assuming the criteria in the small-business loan definition in the regulation are met. The credit card program’s amount at origination is the sum of all of the employee/business credit cards’ credit limits opened on a particular date. If subsequently issued credit cards increase the small-business credit line, the added amount is reported as a new origination. Lending Outside the United States An institution may collect data about small-business and small-farm loans located outside the United States; however, it cannot report these data because the FFIEC CRA data collection software will not accept data concerning loan locations outside the United States. Multiple Loan Originations to the Same Business If an institution originates multiple loans to the same business, the loans should be collected and reported as separate originations rather than combined and reported as they are on the Call Report or TFR, which reflect loans outstanding, rather than originations. However, if institutions originate multiple loans to the same business solely to artificially inflate the number or volume of loans evaluated for CRA lending performance, the agencies may combine these loans for purposes of evaluation under the CRA. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Gross Annual Revenues The regulations do not require institutions to request or consider revenue information when making a loan; however, if institutions do gather this information from their borrowers, they should collect and report the gross annual revenue, rather than the adjusted gross annual revenue, of their smallbusiness or small-farm borrowers. The purpose of small-business and small-farm data collection is to enable examiners and the public to judge whether the institution is lending to small businesses and farms or whether it is only making small loans to larger businesses and farms. The CRA regulations similarly do not require institutions to verify revenue amounts; thus, institutions may rely on the gross annual revenue amount provided by borrowers in the ordinary course of business. If an institution does not collect gross annual revenue information for its small-business and small-farm borrowers, it would not indicate on the CRA data collection software that the gross annual revenues of the borrower are $1 million or less. The institution should enter the code indicating “revenues not known” on the individual loan portion of the data collection software or on an internally developed system. Generally, an institution should rely on the revenues that it considered in making its credit decision when indicating whether a small-business or small-farm borrower had gross annual revenues of $1 million or less. For example, in the case of affiliated businesses, such as a parent corporation and its subsidiary, if the institution considered the revenues of the entity’s parent or a subsidiary corporation of the parent as well, then the institution would aggregate the revenues of both corporations to determine whether the revenues are $1 million or less. Alternatively, if the institution considered the revenues of only the entity to which the loan is actually extended, the institution should rely solely upon whether gross annual revenues are above or below $1 million for that entity. However, if the institution considered and relied on revenues or income of a cosigner or guarantor that is not an affiliate of the borrower, such as a sole proprietor, it should not adjust the borrower’s revenues for reporting purposes. For a start-up business, the institution should use the actual gross annual revenue to date (including $0 if a new business has had no revenue to date). Although start-up businesses will provide the institution with pro forma projected revenue figures, these figures may not accurately reflect actual gross revenue. Loan Location Prudent banking practices dictate that an institution know the location of its customers and loan collateral. Therefore, institutions typically will know the actual location of their borrowers or loan collateral beyond an address consisting only of a post office box. Many borrowers have street addresses in addition to post office box numbers or rural route and box numbers. Institutions should ask their borrowers to provide the street address of the main business facility or farm or the location where the loan proceeds otherwise will be applied. Moreover, in many cases in 13 Collecting the Data which the borrower’s address consists only of a rural route number or post office box, the institution knows the location (i.e., the census tract or block numbering area) of the borrower or loan collateral. Once the institution has this information, it should assign a census tract or block numbering area to that location (geocode) and report that information as required under the regulations. For loans originated or purchased in 1998 or later, if the institution cannot determine the borrower’s street address, and does not know the census tract or block numbering area it should report the borrower’s state, county, MSA, if applicable, and “NA,” for “not available,” in lieu of a census tract or block numbering area code. Other Loan Data Schedule RC-C, part II, of the Call Report and Schedule SB of the TFR do not allow financial institutions to report loans for commercial and industrial purposes that are secured by residential real estate. Loans extended to small businesses with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less may, however, be secured by residential real estate. If these loans promote community development, as defined in the regulations, the institution should collect and report information about these loans as community development loans. Otherwise, at an institution’s option, it may collect and maintain data concerning loans, purchases, and lines of credit extended to small businesses and secured by residential real estate for consideration in the CRA evaluation of its small-business lending. To facilitate this optional data collection, the software distributed A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting free of charge by the FFIEC provides that an institution may collect this information to supplement its small-business lending data by choosing the loan type “Other secured lines/loans for purposes of small business,” in the individual loan data. (The title of the loan type, “Other secured lines of credit for purposes of small business,” which was found in the instructions accompanying the 1996 data collection software, has been changed to “Other secured lines/ loans for purposes of small business” in order to accurately reflect that lines of credit and loans may be reported under this loan type.) This information should be maintained at the institution but should not be submitted for central reporting purposes. Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit Institutions are not required to collect data on loan commitments and letters of credit. They may, however, provide for examiner consideration information on letters of credit and commitments. Commercial and Consumer Leases Commercial and consumer leases are not considered small-business or small-farm loans or consumer loans for purposes of the data collection requirements for commercial or consumer loans. However, if an institution wishes to collect and maintain data about leases, it may provide these data to examiners as “other loan data.” Consumer Loans There are no data reporting requirements for consumer loans. An institution that chooses to collect and maintain information on consumer loans collects the gross annual income of all primary obligors for consumer loans, to the extent that the institution considered the income of the obligors when making the decision to extend credit. Primary obligors include coapplicants and co-borrowers, including cosigners. An institution does not, however, collect the income of guarantors on consumer loans, because guarantors are only secondarily liable for the debt. If consumer lending constitutes a substantial majority of an institution’s business, its supervisory agency will evaluate the institution’s consumer lending in one or more of the following categories: motor vehicle, credit card, home-equity, other secured, and other unsecured loans. In addition, at an institution’s option, its supervisory agency will evaluate one or more categories of consumer lending, if the institution has collected and maintained, as required in section __.42(c)(1), the data for each category that the institution elects to have its supervisory agency evaluate. Where an institution collects data for loans in a certain category, it must collect data for all loans originated or purchased within that category. The institution must maintain these data separately for each category for which it chooses to collect data. The data collected and maintained should include for each loan: · a unique number or alphanumeric symbol that can be used to identify the relevant loan file; · the loan amount at origination or purchase; · the loan location; and · the gross annual income of the 14 Collecting the Data borrower that the institution considered in making its credit decision. Generally, guidance concerning collection of data on small-business and small-farm loans—including, for example, guidance regarding collecting loan location data and data in connection with refinanced or renewed loans—will also apply to consumer loans. Borrower Income The CRA does not require institutions to request or consider income information when making a loan. If an institution does not consider income when making an A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting underwriting decision in connection with a consumer loan, the institution does not need to collect income information. On the other hand, if institutions gather this information from their borrowers, the agencies expect them to collect the borrowers’ gross annual income for purposes of CRA. Further, if the institution routinely collects, but does not verify, a borrower’s income when making a credit decision, it need not verify the income for purposes of data maintenance. Institutions may rely on the gross annual income amount provided by borrowers in the ordinary course of business. The purpose of collecting income data on consumer loans is to enable examiners to determine the distribution based on borrower characteristics, including the number and amount of consumer loans to low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income borrowers, as determined on the basis of gross annual income, particularly in the institution’s assessment area(s). An institution can list “0” in the income field on consumer loans made to its employees when collecting data for CRA purposes, as the institution would be permitted to do under HMDA. 15 Reporting the Data Reporting Tools FFIEC Data Entry Software The CRA Data Entry software is provided free of charge by the FFIEC to help financial institutions automate the filing of their CRA data. The software includes editing and reporting features to help verify, complete, and analyze data. Data created using this package can be easily exported onto a diskette and mailed or transmitted by e-mail to the Board. Any institution that is interested in receiving a copy of the software may: · send a written request to Federal Reserve Board Attn: CRA Processing 1709 New York Avenue, 5th Floor Washington, DC 20006 or · send an e-mail request to crahelp@frb.gov or · leave a voice-mail request on the CRA Assistance Line at (202) 872-7584. Please be sure to include a contact name, mailing address, and a phone number where you may be reached. The geocoding utility is included in this software; the use of this utility by an institution is optional. If you wish to use it, your institution will be required to purchase the geographical data, which is available only on CD-ROM from PCi Services, Inc. (PCi), of Boston, Massachusetts. A PCi Services order form can be downloaded from the FFIEC’s CRA website at www.ffiec.gov/cra/softinfo.htm. The FFIEC also has an Internet site that allows users to retrieve MSA, A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting state, county, and census tract/BNA codes for street addresses. In addition, some demographic information (mainly population and income) can be obtained for a particular census tract/BNA. The Internet address is www.ffiec.gov/geocode. Sources of Geographic Information The following sources may help you report geographic data accurately. Information about MSA Boundaries You can obtain information on current and historical MSA boundaries at www.census.gov by selecting Subjects A–Z, then M, then Metropolitan Areas, then Metropolitan Definitions. CRA uses the term MSA— metropolitan statistical area—for MSAs, CMSAs (consolidated metropolitan statistical areas), and PMSAs (primary metropolitan statistical areas). MSAs, CMSAs, and PMSAs are components of metropolitan areas, or MAs. The Office of Management and Budget, which defines their geographic boundaries, and the Census Bureau refer to the generic term MA. To determine MSA boundaries for future years, you may need to obtain FIPS PUB 8-5, Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Contact: National Technical Information Services U.S. Department of Commerce Port Royal Road Springfield, VA 22161 (703) 487-4650 A list of all valid census tract numbers (and BNA designations) in each MSA is available for a fee from the Board’s HMDA Assistance Line 16 Reporting the Data at (202) 452-2016. The list will help ensure that you are using only valid census tract numbers; however, the list is not a tool for geocoding your CRA data. The FFIEC Census Data CD-ROM also contains census tract number information as well as other informative census and demographic data. To order this software, contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016. Census Bureau Products The following products for determining the correct 1990 census tract number for a given property are available from the Census Bureau. LandView III LandView III is Census Bureau CDROM desktop mapping software product. It runs on Windows® 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Macintosh operating systems. LandView III shows a detailed network of roads (containing address information where available), rivers, and railroads, along with jurisdictional and statistical boundaries (including census tracts). The information is based upon the Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line 1995 files, which reflect the street network and address ranges known to the Census Bureau as of the fall of 1995. Besides producing custom map views that display selected user-specified map information (see Illustration 1), LandView also provides the capability of displaying the FIPS state and county codes, census tract or block numbering area codes, and block group codes for any location that a user points to on the map. This product can be ordered from the Census Bureau Customer Service Center. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Illustration 1: LandView®III Ordering information and a fully functional copy of the software with a single county’s map and data (you can specify the county) can be downloaded from the Census Bureau’s website at www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger. Census Tract/Block Numbering Area Outline Maps If you prefer paper maps, you may use the 1990 Census Tract/Block Numbering Area Outline Maps for the counties within the MSAs for which you are reporting (see Illustration 2: 1990 Census Tract Outline Map 17 Reporting the Data TIGER/Census Tract Street Index®—Ver. 2, Part A Street Name Barkley Dr Bark Tree Ct Bark Tree Ct Barkwood Ct Barley Rd Barley Wk Barlow Rd Barnack Dr Barnacle Pl Barnard Ct Barnesdale Path Barnesdale Path Barnesville Rd Barney Rd Barnsbury Ct From Address 3100 8285 8300 9500 3100 7400 900 6700 7000 3100 6300 6301 13704 3800 9900 To Address 3699 8367 8354 9599 3199 7416 948 7021 7009 3150 6536 6533 13910 3843 9939 Street Side Both Odd Even Both Both Both Both Both Both Both Even Odd Even Both Both Fairfax County, VA Tract or BNA 4401.98 4924 4924 4405 4619.98 4502 4162 4314 4324 4617.98 4911 4911 4825 4901 4619.98 ZIP Code 22031 22153 22153 22032 22031 22042 22060 22152 22015 22031 22020 22022 22070 22021 22031 Area Name Mantua CDP Lorton CDP Lorton CDP Oakton CDP Jefferson CDP Fort Belvoir CDP West Springfield CDP Burke CDP Merrifield CDP Oakton CDP 103rd Cong. 11 08 08 11 11 11 08 08 11 11 10 10 10 10 11 FIPS Code 49144 47064 47064 58472 40584 29008 84976 11464 51192 58472 Illustration 3: 1990 TIGER/Census Tract Street Index® Illustration 2). Besides showing numbers for census tracts (and BNAs) within a particular county, these maps display the boundaries and names of the features used as census tract boundaries and the names of any counties or other subdivisions. The outline maps are sold by the Census Bureau’s Customer Services Center in county packages. On average, there are four map sheets per metropolitan county. The map sheets are oversized—generally 36 by 42 inches—and map scales vary to minimize the number of map sheets. Maps may include one or more insets of densely settled areas. The outline maps do not show streets, street names, or address ranges within a census tract. You will therefore need to use the maps in combination with up-to-date local street maps available in your local market, and to use a marker pen to highlight on the street map the boundaries of each census tract according to the outline map. TIGER/Census Tract Street Index® Use the TIGER/Census Tract Street A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Index (TIGER/CTSI) for the county in which the property is located (Illustration 3). The TIGER/CTSI enables you to determine the census tract numbers for properties that use city-style street addresses. It is arranged by county within each MSA. The TIGER/CTSI provides the street name, including prefix or suffix direction (such as “north”) and street type (such as “street” or “avenue”), address range, and corresponding census tract number. Within a county, numbered streets (for example, 9th, 10th) precede the streets listed alphabetically. The TIGER/CTSI shows the census tract number for each side of the street and, where applicable, provides the county subdivision (town, township) and place codes for each street and address range. The latter may be helpful in determining the census tract number when streets with identical names and address ranges are located in different parts of the county. (County subdivision and place codes and their corresponding names are listed in the back of TIGER/CTSI.) This product is now available on CD-ROM. The TIGER/CTSI Version 2 has certain limitations: · Address-range and street information are current through April 1990. This means that addresses or streets added since that time are not shown. · The index does not contain address-range information for areas with rural-type addresses (such as RFD addresses). The Census Bureau is currently preparing the TIGER/CTSI Version 3 products for public release. These products will reflect the street network and address ranges known to the Census Bureau as of summer of 1997. Check the Census TIGER page, www.census.gov/geo/www/ tiger, for the current status. A special HMDA order form available from the Bureau of the Census tells you how to obtain the TIGER/CTSI for selected counties. To obtain the HMDA order form for the TIGER/ CTSI, the outline maps, and LandView III, contact: Customer Services Center Bureau of the Census Washington, DC 20233 (301) 457-4100 To obtain detailed information about geographic products: Geography Division— Products and Services Staff Bureau of the Census Washington, DC 20233 (301) 457-1128 tiger@census.gov You also may contact the Census Bureau regional office serving your state as listed in appendix D of this guide. The costs of the census materials will vary, depending on the size of the county. 18 Reporting the Data The Census Bureau is not able to assist in preparing data to meet CRA requirements or in determining the appropriate census tract numbers for individual addresses. Geographic information is available from the FFIEC’s website at www.ffiec.gov/geocode. Internet Resources The Census Bureau offers a subscription service that allows users on-line access to information contained in TIGER/CTSI. Institutions that have an occasional need to determine tract numbers in parts of the country other than where they primarily do business might be interested in using this service. To access this Internet site, enter www.census.gov and select CenStats Censtore, then CenStats, then test drive. The test drive page gives basic information about the service and has links to detailed descriptions of TIGER/CTSI Version 2. The link at the top of each page gives a sample of the information you can expect. To obtain more detailed demographic information on the Internet, you can access census data through the FFIEC’s website at http://www.ffiec.gov/webcensus/ ffieccensus.htm. Data Automation Cycle Data submissions should be mailed to: Federal Reserve Board Attn: CRA Processing 1709 New York Avenue, 5th Floor Washington, DC 20006 Data submitted via e-mail should be encrypted using the FFIEC’s Internet Submission Software, which accompanies the FFIEC’s Data Entry Software and sent to crasub@frb.gov. After an institution’s data have been received and loaded, the data are run through a batch process to check for any errors or discrepancies. The data automation cycle has three steps that all reporting institutions must complete for successful CRA data submission. These steps, described below, are edit report review, institution register summary confirmation, and data resubmission. Edit Report Review The edit report gives an institution an opportunity to verify submitted statistics and provides the institution with a listing of errors that were discovered during the editing cycle. Illustration 4 is an example of an edit report with errors. Because CRA submissions are electronically based, the institution that submitted these data would have to correct its errors and send a complete resubmission. The resubmission replaces the institution’s previous submission. Institution Register Summary (IRS) Confirmation If an institution provides an errorfree submission, it will receive an IRS (see Illustration 5). The IRS is used as a final confirmation of the data that have been sent. The institution’s CRA officer or individual responsible for submitting CRA data must sign the form included with the IRS and fax it to the Board at (202) 530-6234. Data Resubmission Resubmissions are prepared by an institution if the institution identifies errors or needs to make changes to data that have already been submitted. If the resubmission is made after the CRA data have been aggregated and made publicly available, the institution must send a complete resubmission, and should state that it is a “complete resubmission.” After the receipt of the resubmission, new edit or IRS reports will be distributed. Automatic Faxback System The CRA data process includes an automatic faxback feature to make transmission of correspondence simpler and to reduce paper usage. The faxback system uses the fax number provided by the institution on its transmittal sheet to send the edit reports, institution register summary, and any other correspondence. Data must be submitted to the Board, designated processor for all the agencies, no later than March 1.

Illustration 5: Institution Register Summary A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting 21 Reporting the Data Public Availability of Data Disclosure Statements Institutions that are required to make annual public disclosure of their small-business, small-farm, and community development lending activity will receive, by September 15, a CD-ROM containing the disclosure statement for that institution. The CRA Aggregate and Disclosure CD-ROM contains the disclosure statement for that institution and reports for all other institutions that have reported CRA data for that year. Most large institutions are required to keep a CRA disclosure statement for the two prior calendar years in their public files. If a large institution (except one that was small in the prior calendar year) has elected to have one or more categories of its consumer loans considered under the lending test, it must also make available for each A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting category, for the prior two calendar years, the number and amount of loans: · to low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income individuals; · located in low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income census tracts; and · located inside and outside the institution’s assessment area(s). Aggregate Tables The CRA Aggregate and Disclosure CD-ROM provides access to aggregate tables covering the lending activity of all institutions subject to CRA for each MSA and non-MSA portion of each state as well as national aggregate tables covering the lending activity of all institutions nationwide. Aggregate and Disclosure CD-Rom Provided by the FFIEC in the Public File institution may retain a copy of the FFIEC compact disc in its public file. When a consumer requests an institution’s public file, the institution must be able to print its CRA disclosure statement readily from either the compact disc or a duplicate of the compact disc. If the request is at a branch other than the main office or the designated branch office in each state that holds the complete public file, the institution should provide the CRA disclosure statement on paper, or in another format acceptable to the requestor, within five calendar days. Aggregate and Disclosure on the Internet The CRA aggregate and disclosure data can be found on the Internet at www.ffiec.gov/webcraad/ craaggr.htm. Rather than printing a hard copy of the CRA disclosure statement, an 22 Glossary Affiliate. Any company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another company. The term “control” has the meaning given to that term in 12 U.S.C. 1841(a)(2), and a company is under common control with another company if both companies are directly or indirectly controlled by the same company. Area median income. · The median family income for the MSA, if a person or geography is located in an MSA or · the statewide nonmetropolitan median family income, if a person or geography is located outside an MSA. Assessment area(s). One or more geographic area(s) delineated by an institution and (if delineated in compliance with the regulation) used by the regulatory agency in evaluating the institution’s record of helping to meet the credit needs of its community. The assessment area(s) for an institution other than a wholesale or limited-purpose institution must: · consist generally of one or more MSAs (using the MSA boundaries that were in effect as of January 1 of the calendar year in which the delineation is made) or one or more contiguous political subdivisions, such as counties, cities, or towns; and · include the geographies in which the bank has its main office, its branches, and its deposit-taking ATMs, as well as the surrounding geographies in which the bank has originated or purchased a substantial portion of its loans (including home mortgage loans, small-business and small-farm loans, and any other loans the bank chooses, such as those A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting consumer loans on which the bank elects to have its performance assessed). An assessment area(s) must consist only of whole geographies, may not reflect illegal discrimination, may not arbitrarily exclude low- or moderateincome geographies, taking into account the institution’s size and financial condition, and may not extend substantially beyond a CMSA boundary or beyond a state boundary unless the assessment area(s) is located in a multistate MSA. An institution may adjust the boundaries of its assessment area(s) to include only the portion of a political subdivision that it reasonably can be expected to serve. Automated teller machine (ATM). An automated, unstaffed banking facility owned or operated by, or operated exclusively for, the bank at which deposits are received, cash dispersed, or money lent. Block numbering area (BNA). The Bureau of Census, in conjunction with state agencies, has established BNAs as statistical subdivisions of counties in which census tracts have not been established. BNAs are generally identified in census data by numbers in the range 9501 to 9989.99. (For purposes of the CRA, an institution may use BNA or Census Tracts, as both are “geographies”). Branch. A staffed banking facility authorized as a branch, whether shared or unshared, including, for example, a minibranch in a grocery store or a branch operated in conjunction with any other local business or nonprofit organization. 23 Glossary Census tract. A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county in a metropolitan area or a selected nonmetropolitan county designed to be a relatively homogeneous unit with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. Census tracts usually contain between 2,500 and 8,000 inhabitants. Census tract numbers generally range from 0001 through 9499.99 and are unique within a county. Institutions are currently required to use census tract numbers from the 1990 census series. CMSA. A consolidated metropolitan statistical area as defined by the director of the Office of Management and Budget. Community development. · affordable housing (including multifamily rental housing) for lowor moderate-income individuals; · community services targeted to low- or moderate-income individuals; · activities that promote economic development by financing businesses or farms that meet the size eligibility standards of the Small Business Administration’s Development Company or Small Business Investment Company programs (13 CFR 121.301) or have gross annual revenues of $1 million or less; or · activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or moderate-income geographies. Community development loan. A loan that: · has as its primary purpose community development; and · except in the case of a wholesale or limited-purpose institution: — has not been reported or A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting collected by the institution or an affiliate for consideration in the institution’s assessment as a home mortgage, small-business, small-farm, or consumer loan, unless it is a multifamily-dwelling loan; and — benefits the institution’s assessment area(s) or a broader statewide or regional area that includes the institution’s assessment area(s). Community development service. A service that has as its primary purpose community development, is related to the provision of financial services, and has not been considered in the evaluation of the institution’s retail banking services. Consumer loan. A loan to one or more individuals for household, family, or other personal expenditures. A consumer loan does not include a home mortgage, smallbusiness, or small-farm loan. Consumer loans include the following categories of loans: · Motor vehicle loan, which is a consumer loan extended for the purchase of and secured by a motor vehicle; · Credit card loan, which is a line of credit for household, family, or other personal expenditures that is accessed by a borrower’s use of a credit card; · Home equity loan, which is a consumer loan secured by a residence of the borrower; · Other secured consumer loan, which is a secured consumer loan that is not included in one of the other categories of consumer loans; and · Other unsecured consumer loan, which is an unsecured consumer loan that is not included in one of the other categories of consumer loans Edit report. A report generated by the FFIEC and faxed to CRA reporters based on their data submissions. The edit report lists and describes errors found in the submitted data. Geography. Geography means a census tract or a block numbering area delineated by the United States Bureau of the Census in the most recent decennial census. Home mortgage loan. A “home improvement loan” or a “home purchase loan” as defined in the Board’s Regulation C (12 CFR part 203), which implements Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. Income level. Income levels include: · Low-income, which means an individual income that is less than 50 percent of the area median income, or a median family income that is less than 50 percent, in the case of a geography; · Moderate-income, which means an individual income that is at least 50 percent and less than 80 percent of the area median income, or a median family income that is at least 50 and less than 80 percent, in the case of a geography; · Middle-income, which means an individual income that is at least 80 percent and less than 120 percent of the area median income, or a median family income that is at least 80 and less than 120 percent, in the case of a geography; and · Upper-income, which means an individual income that is 120 percent or more of the area median income, or a median family income that is 120 percent or more, in the case of a geography. 24 Glossary Institution Register Summary (IRS). A report generated by the FFIEC and faxed to CRA reporters based on the data they submitted. The first page of the IRS lists the number and total dollar amounts of small-business, small-farm, community development and consortium/third party loans in the data submission. If the loan information is correct, CRA reporters sign the second page of the IRS and fax it to (202) 530-6234. Large institution. An institution other than a small institution.

(3) Criteria for evaluating plan. The Board evaluates a plan’s measurable goals using the following criteria, as appropriate: 33 Appendix A—Regulation BB: Community Reinvestment (i) the extent and breadth of lending or lending-related activities, including, as appropriate, the distribution of loans among different geographies, businesses and farms of different sizes, and individuals of different income levels, the extent of community development lending, and the use of innovative or flexible lending practices to address credit needs; (ii) the amount and innovativeness, complexity, and responsiveness of the bank’s qualified investments; and (iii) the availability and effectiveness of the bank’s systems for delivering retail banking services and the extent and innovativeness of the bank’s community development services. (h) Plan amendment. During the term of a plan, a bank may request the Board to approve an amendment to the plan on grounds that there has been a material change in circumstances. The bank shall develop an amendment to a previously approved plan in accordance with the public participation requirements of paragraph (d) of this section. (i) Plan assessment. The Board approves the goals and assesses performance under a plan as provided for in appendix A of this part. SECTION 228.28— Assigned Ratings (a) Ratings in general. Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Board assigns to a bank a rating of “outstanding,” A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting “satisfactory,” “needs to improve,” or “substantial noncompliance” based on the bank’s performance under the lending, investment, and service tests, the community development test, the small-bank performance standards, or an approved strategic plan, as applicable. (b) Lending, investment, and service tests. The Board assigns a rating for a bank assessed under the lending, investment, and service tests in accordance with the following principles: (1) a bank that receives an “outstanding” rating on the lending test receives an assigned rating of at least “satisfactory”; (2) a bank that receives an “outstanding” rating on both the service test and the investment test and a rating of at least “high satisfactory” on the lending test receives an assigned rating of “outstanding”; and (3) no bank may receive an assigned rating of “satisfactory” or higher unless it receives a rating of at least “low satisfactory” on the lending test. (c) Effect of evidence of discriminatory or other illegal credit practices. Evidence of discriminatory or other illegal credit practices adversely affects the Board’s evaluation of a bank’s performance. In determining the effect on the bank’s assigned rating, the Board considers the nature and extent of the evidence, the policies and procedures that the bank has in place to prevent discriminatory or other illegal credit practices, any corrective action that the bank has taken or has committed to take, particularly voluntary corrective action resulting from selfassessment, and other relevant information. SECTION 228.29—Effect of CRA Performance on Applications (a) CRA performance. Among other factors, the Board takes into account the record of performance under the CRA of— (1) each applicant bank for the— (i) establishment of a domestic branch by a state member bank; and (ii) merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, or assumption of liabilities requiring approval under the Bank Merger Act (12 USC 1828(c)) if the acquiring, assuming, or resulting bank is to be a state member bank; and (2) each insured depository institution (as defined in 12 USC 1813) controlled by an applicant and subsidiary bank or savings association proposed to be controlled by an applicant— (i) to become a bank holding company in a transaction that requires approval under section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 USC 1842); (ii) to acquire ownership or control of shares or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, to cause a bank to become a subsidiary of a bank holding company, or to merge or consolidate a bank holding company with any other bank holding company in a transaction that requires approval under section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 USC 1842); and (iii) to own, control, or operate a savings association in a transaction that requires approval under section 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 USC 1843). 34 Appendix A—Regulation BB: Community Reinvestment (b) Interested parties. In considering CRA performance in an application described in paragraph (a) of this section, the Board takes into account any views expressed by interested parties that are submitted in accordance with the Board’s Rules of Procedure set forth in part 262 of this chapter. (c) Denial or conditional approval of application. A bank’s record of performance may be the basis for denying or conditioning approval of an application listed in paragraph (a) of this section. (d) Definitions. For purposes of paragraph (a)(2) of this section, “bank,” “bank holding company,” “subsidiary,” and “savings association” have the meanings given to those terms in section 2 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 USC 1841). SUBPART C—RECORDS, REPORTING, AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS SECTION 228.41— Assessment-Area Delineation (a) In general. A bank shall delineate one or more assessment areas within which the Board evaluates the bank’s record of helping to meet the credit needs of its community. The Board does not evaluate the bank’s delineation of its assessment area(s) as a separate performance criterion, but the Board reviews the delineation for compliance with the requirements of this section. (b) Geographic area(s) for wholesale or limited-purpose banks. The assessment area(s) for a wholesale or limited-purpose bank must consist generally of one or more MSAs (using the MSA A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting boundaries that were in effect as of January 1 of the calendar year in which the delineation is made) or one or more contiguous political subdivisions, such as counties, cities, or towns, in which the bank has its main office, branches, and deposit-taking ATMs. (c) Geographic area(s) for other banks. The assessment area(s) for a bank other than a wholesale or limited-purpose bank must— (1) consist generally of one or more MSAs (using the MSA boundaries that were in effect as of January 1 of the calendar year in which the delineation is made) or one or more contiguous political subdivisions, such as counties, cities, or towns; and (2) include the geographies in which the bank has its main office, its branches, and its deposittaking ATMs, as well as the surrounding geographies in which the bank has originated or purchased a substantial portion of its loans (including home mortgage loans, small-business and small-farm loans, and any other loans the bank chooses, such as those consumer loans on which the bank elects to have its performance assessed). (d) Adjustments to geographic area(s). A bank may adjust the boundaries of its assessment area(s) to include only the portion of a political subdivision that it reasonably can be expected to serve. An adjustment is particularly appropriate in the case of an assessment area that otherwise would be extremely large, of unusual configuration, or divided by significant geographic barriers. (e) Limitations on the delineation of an assessment area. Each bank’s assessment area(s)— (1) must consist only of whole geographies; (2) may not reflect illegal discrimination; (3) may not arbitrarily exclude low- or moderate-income geographies, taking into account the bank’s size and financial condition; and (4) may not extend substantially beyond a CMSA boundary or beyond a state boundary unless the assessment area is located in a multistate MSA. If a bank serves a geographic area that extends substantially beyond a state boundary, the bank shall delineate separate assessment areas for the areas in each state. If a bank serves a geographic area that extends substantially beyond a CMSA boundary, the bank shall delineate separate assessment areas for the areas inside and outside the CMSA. (f) Banks serving military personnel. Notwithstanding the requirements of this section, a bank whose business predominantly consists of serving the needs of military personnel or their dependents who are not located within a defined geographic area may delineate its entire depositcustomer base as its assessment area. (g) Use of assessment area(s). The Board uses the assessment area(s) delineated by a bank in its evaluation of the bank’s CRA performance unless the Board determines that the assessment area(s) do not comply with the requirements of this section.

A bank may collect and maintain in machinereadable form (as prescribed by the Board) data for consumer loans originated or purchased by the bank for consideration under the lending test. A bank may maintain data for one or more of the following categories of consumer loans: motor vehicle, credit card, home-equity, other secured, and other unsecured. If the bank maintains data for loans in a certain category, it shall maintain data for all loans originated or purchased within that category. The bank shall maintain data separately for each category, including for each loan— (i) a unique number or alphanumeric symbol that can be used to identify the relevant loan file; (ii) the loan amount at origination or purchase; (iii) the loan location; and (iv) the gross annual income of the borrower that the bank considered in making its credit decision. (2) Other loan data. At its option, a bank may provide other information concerning its lending performance, including additional loan-distribution data. (d) Data on affiliate lending. A bank that elects to have the Board consider loans by an affiliate, for purposes of the lending or community development test or an approved strategic plan, shall collect, maintain, and report for those loans the data that the bank would have collected, maintained, and reported pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section had the loans been originated or purchased by the bank. For home mortgage loans, the bank shall also be prepared to identify the home mortgage loans reported under part 203 of this chapter by the affiliate. (e) Data on lending by a consortium or a third party. A bank that elects to have the Board consider community development loans by a consortium or third party, for purposes of the lending or community development tests or an approved strategic plan, shall report for those loans the data that the bank would have reported under paragraph (b)(2) of this section had the loans been originated or purchased by the bank.

The Board rates a bank’s service performance as being in “substantial noncompliance” if, in general, the bank demonstrates— (A) its service-delivery 42 Appendix A—Regulation BB: Community Reinvestment systems are unreasonably inaccessible to significant portions of its assessment area(s), particularly to lowor moderate-income geographies or to low- or moderate-income individuals; (B) to the extent changes have been made, its record of opening and closing branches has significantly adversely affected the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in lowor moderate-income geographies or to low- or moderateincome individuals; (C) its services (including, where appropriate, business hours) vary in a way that significantly inconveniences its assessment area(s), particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or low- or moderateincome individuals; and (D) it provides few, if any, community development services. (c) Wholesale or limited-purpose banks. The Board assigns each wholesale or limited-purpose bank’s community development performance one of the four following ratings. (1) Outstanding. The Board rates a wholesale or limited-purpose bank’s community development performance “outstanding” if, in general, it demonstrates— (i) a high level of community development loans, community development services, or qualified investments, particularly investments that are not routinely provided by private investors; A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting (ii) extensive use of innovative or complex qualified investments, community development loans, or community development services; and (iii) excellent responsiveness to credit and community development needs in its assessment area(s). (2) Satisfactory. The Board rates a wholesale or limited-purpose bank’s community development performance “satisfactory” if, in general, it demonstrates— (i) an adequate level of community development loans, community development services, or qualified investments, particularly investments that are not routinely provided by private investors; (ii) occasional use of innovative or complex qualified investments, community development loans, or community development services; and (iii) adequate responsiveness to credit and community development needs in its assessment area(s). (3) Needs to improve. The Board rates a wholesale or limitedpurpose bank’s community development performance as “needs to improve” if, in general, it demonstrates— (i) a poor level of community development loans, community development services, or qualified investments, particularly investments that are not routinely provided by private investors; (ii) rare use of innovative or complex qualified investments, community development loans, or community development services; and (iii) poor responsiveness to credit and community development needs in its assessment area(s). (4) Substantial noncompliance. The Board rates a wholesale or limited-purpose bank’s community development performance in “substantial noncompliance” if, in general, it demonstrates— (i) few, if any, community development loans, community development services, or qualified investments, particularly investments that are not routinely provided by private investors; (ii) no use of innovative or complex qualified investments, community development loans, or community development services; and (iii) very poor responsiveness to credit and community development needs in its assessment area(s). (d) Banks evaluated under the small-bank performance standards. The Board rates the performance of each bank evaluated under the small-bank performance standards as follows. (1) Eligibility for a satisfactory rating. The Board rates a bank’s performance “satisfactory” if, in general, the bank demonstrates— (i) a reasonable loan-todeposit ratio (considering seasonal variations) given the bank’s size, financial condition, the credit needs of its assessment area(s), and taking into account, as appropriate, lending-related activities such as loan originations for sale to the secondary markets and community development loans and qualified investments; (ii) a majority of its loans and, 43 Appendix A—Regulation BB: Community Reinvestment as appropriate, other lendingrelated activities are in its assessment area(s); (iii) a distribution of loans to and, as appropriate, other lending-related activities for individuals of different income levels (including low- and moderate-income individuals) and businesses and farms of different sizes that is reasonable given the demographics of the bank’s assessment area(s); (iv) a record of taking appropriate action, as warranted, in response to written complaints, if any, about the bank’s performance in helping to meet the credit needs of its assessment area(s); and (v) a reasonable geographic distribution of loans given the bank’s assessment area(s). (2) Eligibility for an outstanding rating. A bank that meets each of the standards for a “satisfactory” rating under this paragraph and exceeds some or all of those standards may warrant consideration for an overall rating of “outstanding.” In assessing whether a bank’s performance is “outstanding,” the Board considers the extent to which the bank exceeds each of the performance standards for a “satisfactory” rating and its performance in making qualified investments and its performance in providing branches and other services and delivery systems that enhance credit availability in its assessment area(s). (3) “Needs to improve” or “substantial noncompliance” ratings. A bank also may receive a rating of “needs to improve” or A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting “substantial noncompliance” depending on the degree to which its performance has failed to meet the standards for a “satisfactory” rating. (e) Strategic-plan assessment and rating. (1) Satisfactory goals. The Board approves as “satisfactory” measurable goals that adequately help to meet the credit needs of the bank’s assessment area(s). (2) Outstanding goals. If the plan identifies a separate group of measurable goals that substantially exceed the levels approved as “satisfactory,” the Board will approve those goals as “outstanding.” (3) Rating. The Board assesses the performance of a bank operating under an approved plan to determine if the bank has met its plan goals: (i) If the bank substantially achieves its plan goals for a satisfactory rating, the Board will rate the bank’s performance under the plan as “satisfactory.” (ii) If the bank exceeds its plan goals for a satisfactory rating and substantially achieves its plan goals for an outstanding rating, the Board will rate the bank’s performance under the plan as “outstanding.” (iii) If the bank fails to meet substantially its plan goals for a satisfactory rating, the Board will rate the bank as either “needs to improve” or “substantial noncompliance,” depending on the extent to which it falls short of its plan goals, unless the bank elected in its plan to be rated otherwise, as provided in section 228.27(f)(4).

Exclude from loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers: (1) Loans secured by real estate (report in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1). 48 Appendix B—Schedule RC-C, Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms (2) Loans to farmers for commercial and industrial purposes, e.g., when a farmer is operating a business enterprise as well as a farm (report in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4). (3) Loans to farmers for the purpose of purchasing or carrying stocks, bonds, and other securities (report as all other loans in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 8, on the FFIEC 034; report as loans for purchasing or carrying securities in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 9, on the FFIEC 031, 032, and 033).

(5) Notes insured by the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) and instruments (certificates of beneficial ownership, insured note insurance contracts) representing an interest in FmHAinsured notes (report in Schedule RC-B, item 2.a, Securities “Issued by U.S. Government agencies”). Such notes and instruments are backed by loans made, serviced, and collected by the Farmers Home Administration and were issued prior to January 1, 1975. The following guidelines should be used to determine the “original amount” of a loan: (1) For loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the “original amount” of the loan is the size of the line of credit or loan commitment when the line of A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the “original amount” is the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan participations and syndications, the “original amount” of the loan participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the “original amount” is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date, whichever is larger. The “amount currently outstanding” for a loan is its carrying value, i.e., the amount at which the loan is reported in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.b, 1.e, 3, or 4, above. Except as noted below for “corporate” or “business” credit card programs, when determining “original amounts” and reporting the number and amount currently outstanding for a category of loans in this part II, multiple loans to one borrower should be combined and reported on an aggregate basis rather than as separate individual loans to the extent that the loan systems in which the bank’s business and/or farm loan data are maintained can provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the reporting institution. However, if the burden of such aggregation would be excessive, the institution may report multiple loans to one borrower as separate individual loans. A bank that offers “corporate” or “business” credit card programs under which credit cards are issued to one or more of a company’s employees for business-related use should treat each company’s program as a single extension of credit to that company. The credit limits for all of the individual credit cards issued to the company’s employees should be totalled and this total should be treated as the “original amount” of the “corporate” or “business” credit card program established for this company. The company’s program should be reported as one loan and the amount currently outstanding would be the sum of the credit card balances as of the June 30 report date on each of the individual credit cards issued to the company’s employees. However, when aggregated data for each individual company in a “corporate” or “business” credit card program are not readily determinable from the bank’s credit card records, the bank should develop reasonable estimates of the number of “corporate” or “business” credit card programs in existence as of the June 30 report date, the “original amounts” of these programs, and the “amounts currently outstanding” for these programs and should then report information about these programs on the basis of its reasonable estimates. In no case should the individual credit cards issued to a company’s employees under a “corporate” or “business” credit card program be reported as separate individual loans to small businesses. 49 Appendix B—Schedule RC-C, Part II.

Examples of Reporting in Schedule RC-C, Part II (1) A bank has a “Loan secured by nonfarm nonresidential property” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $70,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.e. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $75,000, so it would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan is $100,000 or less, the bank would report the $70,000 amount 54 Appendix B—Schedule RC-C, Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms currently outstanding in part II, item 3.a, column B. (2) The bank has a second “Loan secured by nonfarm nonresidential property” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $60,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.e. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $125,000, so it would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan falls within the more than $100,000 through $250,000 range, the bank would report the $60,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 3.b, column B. (3) The bank has a “Commercial and industrial loan” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $200,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $250,000, so it would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan is exactly $250,000 which is the upper end of the more than $100,000 through $250,000 range, the bank would report the $200,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 4.b, column B. (4) The bank has a second “Commercial and industrial loan” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $90,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $500,000 and sold loan participations for $400,000 while retaining $100,000. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting Nevertheless, based on the entire amount of the credit that was originated by the bank, the loan would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the entire loan is $500,000 which falls within the more than $250,000 through $1,000,000 range, the bank would report the $90,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 4.c, column B. (5) The bank has a third “Commercial and industrial loan” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $55,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4. This loan represents a participation purchased by the bank from another lender. The original amount of the entire credit is $750,000 and the bank’s original share of this credit was $75,000. Based on the entire amount of the credit that was originated by the other lender, the loan would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the entire credit is $750,000 which falls within the more than $250,000 through $1,000,000 range, the bank would report the $55,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 4.c, column B. (6) The bank has another “Commercial and industrial loan” and it has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $120,000. This amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4. This loan represents a participation purchased by the bank from another lender. The original amount of the entire credit is $1,250,000 and the bank’s original share of this credit was $250,000. Because the original amount of the entire credit exceeds $1,000,000, the loan would not be considered a “loan to a small business” and would not be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. (7) The bank has a “Loan secured by nonfarm nonresidential property” and a “Commercial and industrial loan” to the same borrower. The first loan has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $375,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.e. This “Loan secured by nonfarm nonresidential property” was made in the original amount of $400,000. The second loan has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $650,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 4. This “Commercial and industrial loan” was made in the original amount of $750,000. Case I: The bank’s loan system can provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the reporting institution. The loan system indicates that this borrower’s two loans have a combined original amount of $1,150,000 and therefore the loans would not be considered “loans to a small business” and would not be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Case II: The bank’s loan system cannot provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the reporting institution. Therefore, the borrower’s two loans would be treated as separate loans for purposes of Schedule RC-C, part II. Based on its $400,000 original amount, the “Loan secured by nonfarm nonresidential property” would be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan falls within the more than 55 Appendix B—Schedule RC-C, Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms $250,000 through $1,000,000 range, the bank would report the $375,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 3.c, column B, and count this loan as one loan for purposes of part II, item 3.c, column A. Since the “Commercial and industrial loan” is being handled separately and its original amount is $750,000, it would also be considered a “loan to a small business” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of this loan falls within the more than $250,000 through $1,000,000 range, the bank would report the $650,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 4.c, column B, and count this loan as one loan for purposes of part II, item 4.c, column A. (8) The bank has a “Loan secured by farmland (including farm residential and other improvements)” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $225,000. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $260,000 and the loan is secured by a first lien on the borrower’s farmland. The bank has a second “Loan secured by farmland” to this same borrower and it is secured by a second lien on the borrower’s property. This second lien loan has a carrying value of $50,000 and the original amount of the loan is the same as its carrying value. The carrying values of both loans (the $225,000 first lien loan and the $50,000 second lien loan) are included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.b. Case I: The bank’s loan system can provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the reporting institution. The loan system indicates that this borrower’s A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting two loans have a combined original amount of $310,000 and therefore the two loans together would be considered a single “loan to a small farm” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the two combined loans falls within the more than $250,000 through $500,000 range, the bank would report the $275,000 combined total of the amounts currently outstanding for the two loans in part II, item 7.c, column B, and count these two loans to the same borrower as one loan for purposes of part II, item 7.c, column A. Case II: The bank’s loan system cannot provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the reporting institution. Therefore, the borrower’s two loans would be treated as separate loans for purposes of Schedule RC-C, part II. Based on its $260,000 original amount, the first lien loan would be considered a “loan to a small farm” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan falls within the more than $250,000 through $500,000 range, the bank would report the $225,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 7.c, column B, and count this loan as one loan for purposes of part II, item 7.c, column A. Since the second lien loan is being handled separately and its original amount is $50,000, it would also be considered a “loan to a small farm” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of this loan is less than $100,000, the bank would report the $50,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 7.a, column B, and count this loan as one loan for purposes of part II, item 7.a, column A. (9) The bank has one final “Loan secured by farmland” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $5,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 1.b. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $300,000, so it would be considered a “loan to a small farm” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan falls within the more than $250,000 through $500,000 range, the bank would report the $5,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 7.c, column B. (10) The bank has granted a $150,000 line of credit to a farmer that is not secured by real estate. The farmer has received advances twice under this line of credit and, rather than having signed a single note for the entire $150,000 amount of the line of credit, has signed separate notes for each advance. One note is in the original amount of $30,000 and the other is in the original amount of $50,000. The carrying values of the two notes on the June 30 report date are the same as their original amounts and these amounts are included in Schedule RC-C, part I, item 3. For loans drawn down under lines of credit, the original amount of the loan is the size of the line of credit when it was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior to the report date. In this case, the line of credit was most recently approved for $150,000. Case I: The bank’s loan system can provide aggregate individual borrower data for multiple advances under lines of credit without undue 56 Appendix B—Schedule RC-C, Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms cost to the reporting institution. Thus, even though a separate note was signed each time the farmer borrowed under the line of credit, the loan system combines all information about the farmer’s separate borrowings under the line of credit. Therefore, the loan system indicates that the farmer has a line of credit for $150,000 and that the amount currently outstanding under the line of credit for the combined carrying values of the two borrowings under the line of credit is $80,000. Because the line of credit was most recently approved for $150,000, this $150,000 original amount for the line of credit would be considered a “loan to a small farm” that would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Therefore, the original amount of the line of credit falls within the more than $100,000 through $250,000 range and the bank would report the $80,000 combined total of the amounts currently outstanding for the two notes in part II, item 8.b, column B, and count these two notes to the farmer under the line of credit as one loan for purposes of part II, item 8.b, column A. Case II: The bank’s loan system cannot provide aggregate individual borrower data for lines of credit without undue cost to the reporting institution. Therefore, the farmer’s two notes under the line of credit would be treated as separate loans for purposes of Schedule RC-C, part II. The original amount of the line of credit is $150,000 and each of the two notes would be considered a “loan to a small farm” that would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because each of the two notes indicates that it is part of a $150,000 line of credit and the $150,000 original amount of the line of credit falls within the more than $100,000 through $250,000 range, the bank would report both the $30,000 and $50,000 amounts currently outstanding in part II, item 8.b, column B, and count these as two loans for purposes of part II, item 8.b, column A. (11) The bank has one other “Loan to finance agricultural production and other loans to a farmer” which has a carrying value on the June 30 report date of $75,000 and this amount is included in Schedule RCC, part I, item 3. The bank made this loan to the borrower in the original amount of $100,000, so it would be considered a “loan to a small farm” and would be reported in Schedule RC-C, part II. Because the original amount of the loan is exactly $100,000 which is the upper end of the $100,000 or less range, the bank would report the $75,000 amount currently outstanding in part II, item 8.a, column B.

Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms Schedule RC-C, Part II is to be reported only with the June Report of Condition. Report the number and amount currently outstanding as of June 30 of business loans with “original amounts” of $1,000,000 or less and farm loans with “original amounts” of $500,000 or less. The following guidelines should be used to determine the “original amount” of a loan: (1) For loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the “original amount” of the loan is the size of the line of credit or loan commitment when the line of credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the “original amount” is the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan participations and syndications, the “original amount” of the loan participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the “original amount” is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date, whichever is larger.

This schedule will not be completed if (a) the reporting association and its consolidated subsidiaries have no loans reported on SC260, 300, 303, or 306; or (b) the only business loans of the reporting association and its consolidated subsidiaries have “original amounts” (as defined below) in excess of $1 million and/or the only farm loans have “original amounts” (as defined below) in excess of $500 thousand. In reporting the number and amount currently outstanding of business loans with “original amounts” of $1 million or less and farm loans with “original amounts” of $500 thousand or less, the following guidelines should be used: 1. For loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the “original amount” of the loan is the amount when the line of credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the “original amount” is the amount currently outstanding. 2. For loan participations and syndications, the “original amount” of the loan participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. A Guide to CRA Data Collection and Reporting 3. For all other loans, the “original amount” is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date, whichever is larger. The “amount outstanding” is the amount reported on Schedule SC as of the report date and should be reported net of loans in process, specific valuation allowances, and yield adjustments (to the extent possible). Report the actual number of loans. Do not round to the nearest thousand. Do not include loans to subsidiaries eliminated in consolidation. Except as noted below for “corporate” or “business” credit card programs, when determining “original amounts” and reporting the number and amount currently outstanding for a category of loans in this schedule, multiple loans to one borrower should be combined and reported on an aggregate basis rather than as separate individual loans, to the extent that the loan systems in which the reported data are maintained can provide aggregate individual borrower data without undue cost to the association. However, if the burden of such aggregation would be excessive, the association may report multiple loans to one borrower as separate indvidual loans. An association that offers “corporate” or “business” credit card programs under which credit cards are issued to one or more of a company’s employees for businessrelated use should treat each company’s entire credit card 60 Appendix C—Thrift Financial Report Instruction Manual and Form program as a single extension of credit. The credit limits for all of the individual credit cards issued to the company’s employees should be totaled, and this total should be treated as the “original amount” of the “corporate” or “business” credit card program established for this company. The company’s program should be reported as one loan and the amount currently outstanding would be the sum of the credit card balances as of the June 30 report date on each of the individual credit cards issued to the company’s employees. However, when aggregated data for each individual company is a “corporate” or “business” credit card program are not readily determinable from the association’s credit card records, the association should develop reasonable estimates of the number of “corporate” or “business” credit card programs in existence as of the report date, the “original amounts” of these programs, and the “amounts currently outstanding” of these programs and should then report information about these programs on the basis of its reasonable estimates. In no case should individual credit cards issued to a company’s employees under a “corporate” or “business” credit card program be reported as separate individual loans to small businesses. SB100: Does the reporting association have any loans secured primarily by farms reported on SC260 or any loans to finance agricultural production or other loans to farmers reported on SC300, 303, or 306? This question should be answered “Yes” only if the agricultural and farm loans had original amounts, as defined above, of $500 thousand or less. If yes, complete lines 300 through 650 (do not complete 110 through 210). If no, complete the following item, 110. SB110: Are all or substantially all of the association’s commercial loans (Schedule SC lines 260, 300, 303, and 306) loans with original amounts of $100,000 or less? If (a) the average size of the amount currently outstanding for your association’s commercial, nonfarm loans reported on Schedule SC lines 260, 300, 303, and 306 is $100 thousand or less and (b) your lending officers’ knowledge of your association’s loans or other relevant information pertaining to commercial loans indicates that all or substantially all of the dollar volume of your association’s commercial loans have “original amounts” (as described above) of $100 thousand or less, indicate “yes” and complete the following lines, 200 and 210, only. Otherwise, indicate “no” and complete lines 300 through 450.
