O PER ATIO N S OF
THE C O R P O R A TIO N
The principal objectives of the Fed­
eral Deposit Insurance Corporation
are to protect bank customers through
deposit insurance and consumer pro­
tection programs and to promote a
healthy banking system.
Bank examinations are the front
line of the FDIC's operations to pro­
mote and maintain the safety and
soundness of the banking system
and to enforce compliance with con­
sumer and civil rights laws.
The FDIC has some supervisory
authority over all federally insured
banks, but its primary responsibili­
ties are for the 8,938 insured Statechartered banks that are not mem­
bers of the Federal Reserve System
(insured State nonmember banks)
and 324 insured mutual savings
banks. As of December 31, 1979,
there were 14,608 insured com­

mercial and mutual savings banks
with domestic and foreign assets of
$1. 7 trillio n . These banks ac­
counted for 97 percent of all banks
in the United States.
The Corporation's partner agen­
cies, the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency (OCC) and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, similarly examine national
banks and State member banks, respec­
tively.
The FDIC depends on a corps of
skilled, dedicated and well trained
field examiners to perform the basic
supervisory function. They are sup­
ported by administrative, policy and
review officials in its Division of
BankSupervision (DBS) in Washington.
Funding for these operations in
1979 commanded the largest share
of the FDIC administrative budget —
$78.1 million, or 68 percent of total
expenditures of $107.1 million.
The bulk of bank supervision fund­

ing is distributed appropriately to
the field. Almost $67.9 million was
expended in 1979 by the 14 Re­
gional Offices which in turn super­
vise 1 50 field examination offices.
The Corporation conducted 19,900
bankexamination activities in 1979.

Efforts to make the most efficient
use of examiner time include new
emphasis on the divided examina­
tion concept. The FDIC has agree­
ments to share examination resour­
ces with State bank supervisors in
Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, Illi­
nois, Michigan and North Dakota,
and expects to enter into agree­
ments with three additional States in
1980. Such agreements can mean
substantial savings in examiner time
because they provide that each au­
thority need examine each year only
half of those banks whose records
show need of only minimal supervi­
sion. Problem banks, other banks in
need of special supervision, and large
banks are examined both by the
FDIC and the bank's State supervi­
sor at least once each year.
Safety and Soundness Examina­
tions. The first priority of FDIC exam­
inations is the effective surveillance
and supervision of banks having finan­
cial weaknesses or operating prob­
lems. Banks presenting financial risk
to the Corporation receive a fullscope examination at least once
every 12 months. Banks with a less­
er degree of supervisory problems,
but in less than fully satisfactory



condition, receive a full-scope exami­
nation at least every 18 months.
Other banks, not representing finan­
cial or supervisory concern to the
FDIC, receive either a full-scope or
modified examination at least once
in each 18 month period.
To increase and encourage bank
director participation in the supervi­
sory process. Corporation examin­
ers meet with either the Board of
Directors or an appropriate Commit­
tee of the Board at each full-scope
examination, or more often if neces­
sary. The Regional Director, or a desig­
nated representative, participates in
these meetings if the bank is or may
be formally designated a problem
bank.
The FDIC also reviews OCC and
Federal Reserve Reports of Exami­
nation fo r national and Statechartered banks that are members
of the Federal Reserve System. Re­
ports for large banks that are not of
special supervisory concern are re­
viewed annually and reports for small­
er banks are reviewed at least once
every three years. Examination re­
ports of banks that are of supervi­
sory concern, regardless of size, are
reviewed as soon as they are made
available. The FDIC also reviews Re­
ports of Bank Holding Company In­
spection prepared by the Federal
Reserve.
Compliance Examinations: Corpo­
ration responsibility centers on en­
forcement of consumer protection
and civil rights laws for State non­
member banks, including the Truth
in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Re­
porting Act, the Fair Housing Act,
the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act,
the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act, the Community Reinvestment
Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer
Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act and others.
Violations or exceptions noted dur­
ing compliance examinations are re­
ported to the banks involved and
routinely followed up by the Re­

5

OPERATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

gional Offices to assure corrective
action is taken. If voluntary com­
pliance cannot be obtained by moral
suasion and additional follow-up ex­
aminations, visits, meetings with
Boards of Directors of the banks
involved or other informal means,
the Division of Bank Supervision
(DBS) or the Office of Consumer
Affairs and Civil Rights (OCACR)
may recommend thatformal enforce­
ment action under Section 8(b) of
the FDI Act be initiated. During
1979, the FDIC's Board of Directors
issued seven such orders involving
violations of consumer protection or
civil rights laws and regulations.
This was the second full year of
separate compliance examinations
and the resources devoted to such
examinations is expected to con­

tinue to increase in 1 980. The Cor­
poration spent $ 1 2 million for com­
pliance enforcement in 1979, com­
pared with $9.7 million in 1978and
$2.25 million in 1976.
There were 4,800 compliance ex­
aminations in 1 979, a decline from
6,700 in 1978 as examiners and
institutions adjusted to uniform en­
forcement guidelines which were
introduced in 1978.
Each complianceexamination aver­
aged 56 hours in 1979, almost
double the 1978 average. This is
expected to climb to 70 hours in
1980.
The FDIC expe cts to spend
387,000 examiner hours on com­
pliance examinations in 1 980, a 60
percent increase from 1979. Truthin-Lending enforcem ent w ill ac­

count for about half of that time, up
from 44 percent in 1979. Equal
Credit Opportunity Act and Com­
munity Reinvestment Act enforce­
ment will each take another 1 5 per­
cent of compliance examination time
and Fair Housing Act enforcement
10 percent.
All examiners receive special train­
ing in the conduct of compliance
examinations. In 1979 compliance
and enforcement programs were
strengthened by creating a career
specialty for compliance examiners.
Atyear-end, 46 of the 1 14 approved
positions were filled. Eventually, all
compliance examinations will be con­
ducted by career specialists. A reor­
ganization plan was under study at
year-end to further strengthen FDIC's
efforts in the consumer area.
Trust Department Examinations. A
State nonmember bank wishing to
operate a trust department must re­
ceive the Corporation's consent to
exercise trust powers. During 1979,
52 new trust departments began
operations in banks supervised by
the FDIC.
The Corporation supervises 2,069
trust departments in State non­
member banks. As of December 31,
1 978, the latest date for which fig ­
ures are available, these trust depart­
ments managed about $45 billion in
discretionary trust assets. Most of
the trust departments supervised by
the Corporation are relatively small:
1,563, or 78 percent, have $ 10 mil­
lion or less in trust assets. However,
the Corporation also supervises 71
trust departments of over $ 100 mil­
lion and 10 of these manage over $ 1
billion in discretionary trust assets.
Additionally, 453 banks were regis­
tered with the FDIC as registrars and
transfer agents of certain classes of
securities as required by the Securi­
ties Exchange Act of 1934.
Each State nonmember banktrust
department is examined regularly by
the Corporation. To enhance the



FDIC's trust examination capabil­
ities, 15 Trust Specialist bank exam­
iners have been appointed in 10
Regional Offices.
Each trust department supervised
by the Corporation must file an an­
nual report showing the market
value of discretionary trust assets
under its control. The 1979 report
was the first such statistical survey
of banks to be conducted under the
auspices of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).
In addition, the FDIC expanded cov­
erage of the report to include those
mutual savings banks exercising
trust powers. The report also in­
cludes, for the first time, a schedule
giving certain details about each
collective investment fund operated
by a bank's trust department.
A survey to determine the extent of
overseas trust activities of State non­
member banks was conducted atthe
end of 1979 under the auspices of
the FFIEC. The survey requested infor­
mation on the type, volume, and
location of investment management
and other fiduciary services offered
overseas.
The Corporation changed Part 309
of its Rules and Regulations in 1979
to allow additional inform ation
shown on the Trust Department An­
nual Report to be made available to
the public upon request in the same
manner as bank Reports of Condi­
tion and Reports of Income.
A new Part 344 of the Corpora­
tion's Rules and Regulations was
adopted in 1979, effective January
1, 1980, setting uniform minimum
standards in bank recordkeeping,
customer confirmations, and other
policies and reporting requirements
on securities transactions for trust
department and other bank cus­
tomers.
Electronic Data Processing (EDP)
Examination. In 1 979, the FDIC en­
hanced its EDP training program for
examiners, and structured EDPTrain-

/

OPERATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

ing Courses for Interagency use.
In 1978, the Corporation adopted
an Interagency EDP policy state­
ment which brought about joint or
rotated examinations of independ­
ent data centers and distribution of
examination reports to all servicers
and serviced institutions. This gen­
erated a substantial am ount of
paperwork ;so the policy was modi­
fied in m id-1979 in favor of distribu­
tion only when conditions noted at a
servicer could adversely or materially
affect serviced institutions.
Development of the Interagency
EDP Examination Manual began in
early 1979. Publication is expected
in m id-1980 and implementation
shortly thereafter. A draft of the man­
ual was reviewed by bankers, data
processors, consultants and reg­
ulators.
Applications. State nonmember
banks must apply to the FDIC to,
among other things, obtain deposit
insurance, establish new branches,
or relocate existing offices. The Cor­
poration also rules on merger, con­
solidation and purchase and assump­
tion transactions when the resulting

bank is to be an insured State non­
member bank, or on any mergertype transaction of an insured bank
with a noninsured institution. In ap­
proving or denying applications, the
FDIC considers such factors as the
bank's financial history and condi­
tion, its capital adequacy, its future
earnings prospects, the general char­
acter of its management, and the
convenience and needs of the com­
munity to be served, and — in a
merger-type transaction — the ef­
fect on competition.
During 1979, the Corporation con­
sidered:
• three applications of foreign
banks for U.S. branch offices;
• 166 applications of banks for
deposit insurance, including
31 from State member banks
w h ich app lied fo r c o n tin ­
uation of insured statusfollowing voluntary withdrawal of mem­
bership from the Federal Re­
serve system;
• 1,437 applicationstoestablish
new branches or operate lim­
ited branch and remote serv­
ice facilities; and

and financial data and information
on the terms and financing of the
proposed acquisition.
After considering the views of the
appropriate State chartering author­
ity, the Corporation may deny the
proposed acquisition on the basis of
anticompetitive considerations. The
acquisition may also be barred if the
financial status, competence, expe­
rience and integrity of the acquiring
persons or their management might
jeopardize the financial stability of
the bank or prejudice the interests of
the depositors. The legislation pro­
vides for the exchange of informa­
tion among Federal banking agen­
cies and provides appeal p ro ­
cedures for purchasers whose acqui­
sitions have been denied. Previous
requirements that banks report, with
certain exceptions, loans secured by
25 percent or more of the outstand­
ing stock of a bank to the appro­
priate Federal regulator remain in
effect. In addition, reports pre­
viously required from banks relating
to changes in chief executive o ffi­
cers and directors occurring within
12 months of a change in control



were expanded by the 1978 legisla­
tion to include information on their
past and present business and pro­
fessional affiliations.
Implementation of the Change in
Bank Control Act included adoption
by the Corporation of a policy state­
ment and revisions to Part 303 of its
regulations. These were developed
on an interagency basis and are
consistent with those of the other
Federal bank supervisory agencies.
Both reflect policies which provide
for effective administration with mini­
mum additional burden on the mar­
ketplace, balancing the prevention
of serious harmful effects of some
transactions against the impact of
the statute on legitimate business
transactions. Authority to act on cer­
tain "prior notices” has been dele­
gated to the Corporation's Regional
Directors; however, only the Board
of Directors may disapprove a no­
tice.
During 1979,therewere469 changes
in control of State nonmember banks
reported to the Corporation. These
changes included formations of and
acquisitions by bank holding com­
panies, transactions w hich o c ­
curred prior to the effective date of
the Change in Bank Control Act, and
other transactions not necessarily
subjecttothe"prior notice" require­
ments. The Corporation accepted
148 "prior notices" pursuant to the
Act. Of this total, 120 "letters of
intent not to disapprove" were
issued, 1 5 had not been acted on at
year-end, nine were withdrawn and
one was disapproved by the FDIC
Board of Directors. In three cases
the period for disapproval was pur­
posely allowed to expire without the
issuance of a "letter of intent not to
disapprove." Average processing time
for the 1 24 "prior notices" acted on
during 1 979 was 34.5 days. About
3,700 workhours were devoted in
1 979 to evaluating and processing
"prior notices."

OPERATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

In connection with changes in
bank control, the FDIC and the other
Federal bank regulators began ef­
forts in 1979 to develop a compre­
hensive central data base of infor­
mation on foreign investment in U.S.
banks. It is anticipated that the data
base will become operational in
1980.
Uniform Supervision. During 1979,
the Corporation continued to make
significant advances in the devel­
opment of uniform supervisory poli­
cies and procedures and the elimi­
nation of duplication of regulatory
effort. FDIC participation in the Inter­
agency Coordinating Committee, which
was set up early in 1977 to coordi­
nate certain supervisory policies
and procedures among the three
Federal banking agencies was car­
ried over into the activities of the
Federal Financial Institutions Exam­
ination Council (FFIEC).
The FFIEC, which was created by
Title X of FIRIRCA, consists of OCC,
the Federal Reserve Board, the Fed­
eral Home Loan Bank Board, the
National Credit Union A dm inis­
tration and the FDIC. The Council
established five task forces to work
on development of a common moni­
toring system for banks; coordina­
tion of supervisory activities; uni­
form administration of consumer pro­
tection laws and regulations; com­
mon data gathering systems; and
common educational programs. Proj­
ects completed by the various task
forces and approved by the Council
are detailed in the FFIEC's annual
report.They includea uniform inter­
agency system for rating financial
institutions; joint regulations and re­
porting requirements underthe Inter­
national Banking Act; procedures
for coordination of formal corrective
actions and bank holding company
inspections and subsidiary bank exam­
inations; a proposed policy on credit
life insurance sales by lenders; and
policies on uniform disclosure of



9

enforcement actions, payment of bank
employees' membership fees and
dues in private clubs that discrimi­
nate, and the purchase and sale of
U.S.-guaranteed loans.
The uniform system for rating
banks and thrift institutions and ident­
ifying those with problems makes it
possible to reconcile differences among
credit unions, savings and loan asso­
ciations, mutual savings banks and
commercial banks to achieve uni­
formity and consistency in evaluat­
ing their soundness and their com­
pliance with law. While ratings for
individual institutions are not made
public or given to the institutions
examined, a uniform rating system
permits a better comparison of the
varied aggregate data regularly made
available by the five agencies.
Shared national credits are those
loans aggregating $20 million or
more to one borrower which are par­
ticipated in or shared by two or more
banks. During 1979, the FDIC con­
tinued its participation with the OCC
and the Federal Reserve Board in an
annual review of these credits. The
review and classification of shared
national credits, conducted inde­
pendently of regular examinations,
is the responsibility of speciallyselected joint examiner teams as­
signed to the lead bank or agency for
such credits. Ordinarily, shared na­
tional credits are reviewed only on
an annual basis; however, any par­
ticipating bank involved may re­
quest, through its lead bank, that an
interim review of an individual credit
be conducted. The appraisal as­
signed at the lead bank, including
any adverse classification, is appli­
cable to all participations of such
credit held by any national, State
member or State nonmember in­
sured bank, and remains in effect
until the next regular annual review
or subsequent change resulting from
an interim review. A total of 271
insured State nonmember banks par­

10

ticipated in shared national credits
in 1979.
The FDIC, the OCC, the Federal
Reserve and the Conference of State
Bank Supervisors jointly issued on
May 7, 1979, a revised statementon
classification of bank assets and
appraisal of securities in bank exam­
inations, including amended rules
for assessing bank holdings of muni­
cipal general obligations. The state­
ment is a revision of the Uniform
Agreement on the Classification of
Assets and Appraisal of Securities
Held by Banks issued in 1938 and
revised in 1949. The revision (1)
provides expanded definitions of'Substandard,'' “ Doubtful/' and "Loss”
categories used for criticizing bank
assets; (2) sets guidelines for ex­
aminers to follow in distinguishing
investment quality from subinvest­
ment quality securities in bank port­
folios; and (3) restates guidelines for
examiners to use in computing a
bank's net sound capital. The re­
vised Uniform Agreement also pro­
vides an exception to the general
rulesfor appraisal and classification
of municipal general obligation se­
curities in bank portfolios.
The three Federal bank regulatory
agencies issued a joint policy state­
ment on November 15, 1979, set­
ting forth precautionary rules and
specific guidelines for commercial
and mutual savings banks that en­
gage in futures, forward and stand­
by contracts for U.S. government
and agency securities. The policy
statement, which is to become effec­
tive on January 1, 1980, said that
banks that engage in these con­
tracts should do so in accordance
with safe and sound banking practi­
ces, with levels of activity reason­
ably related to the bank's business
needs and its capacity to fulfill its
obligations under these contracts. It
also provided a set of guidelines that
should be followed by banks author­
ized to participate in these markets.



The statement noted that the agen­
cies will closely monitor bank tran­
sactions in financial futures, for­
ward and standby contracts. De­
pending on what this monitoring
discloses, it might be necessary to
establish position lim its or take
other supervisory precautions against
unsafe or unsound practices.
ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
If a supervised bank does not cor­
rect an unsafe or unsound practice
or a violation of a law, rule, regula­
tion or written agreement with the
FDIC, the Corporation may initiate a
cease-and-desist proceeding. If the
bankdoes not comply, the FDIC may
seek enforcement in a U.S. District
Court or levy a fine.
The FDIC may issue cease-anddesist orders under Sections 8(b)
and 8(c) of its Act. During 1979, the
Board of Directors authorized 59
such actions, resulting in 37 final
orders under Section 8(b) and six
temporary orders under Section 8(c).
In addition, 15 final orders were
issued covering cease-and-desist proceedings begun in 1978. The FDIC
also brought one enforcement ac­
tion in 1979 against a bank in the
appropriate United States District Court
for violation of Section 8(b) orders.
The Corporation is making greater
use of its authority to issue ceaseand-desist orders to achieve correc­
tion of certain weaknesses in banks.
It first used the authority in 1971
and from 1971 through 1975 issued
37 orders. Inthelastfouryearsithas
issued 176 orders under Sections
8(b) and 8(c). During 1979, seven
cease-and-desist orders were issued
to correct violations of various consumeroriented laws and regulations. Another
51 orders were issued primarily to
correct unsatisfactory financial con­
ditions or management practices.
FIRIRCAexpanded the Federal bank

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

supervisors' authority under Section
8(b) to also permit cease-and-desist
orders against bankers and fines of
up to $ 1,000 per day on both banks
and bankers for certain violations.
No fines were levied during 1979.
The FDIC may initiate terminationof-insurance proceedings under Sec­
tion 8(a) of the Federal Deposit Insu­
rance Act if it finds a bank is in an
unsafe or unsound financial condi­
tion. If a bank does not correct defi­
ciencies noted by the FDIC within a
prescribed time period, an adminis­
trative hearing is held at which the
bank can respond to the Corpora­
tion's charges. If the charges are
substantiated, the FDIC may termi­
nate the insured status of the bank.
The depositors of the bank are then

notified of the termination, but de­
posits (less subsequent withdrawals)
continue to be insured fortw o years.
During 1979, the FDIC initiated
nine termination-of-insurance pro­
ceedings by issuing Findings of Un­
safe or Unsound practices and Con­
dition and Orders of Correction. Six
proceedings were still pending at
year-end; the otherthree were made
moot by two bank closings and a
merger. From 1 934 through 1979,
action was taken under Section 8(a)
against a total of 252 banks, and
246 cases had been closed at the
end of 1979. In slightly less than
one-half of the closed cases, correc­
tions were made; in most of the
other closed cases the banks were
absorbed by other insured banks or

ceased operations priorto the estab­
lishment of a date for insurance ter­
mination. In 15 cases, insurance
was terminated or the bank ceased
operations following the fixing of a
date for insurance termination.
Under Section 8(e) of the FDI Act,
the FDIC may remove an officer,
director, or other person participat­
ing in the management of an insured
State nonmember bank if it deter­
mines that the person has (1) vio­
lated a law, rule, regulation, or final
cease-and-desist order; (2) has en­
gaged in unsafe or unsound banking
practices; or (3) breached his or her
fiduciary duty. The individual's ac­
tion must involve personal dishon­
esty or a willful disregard for the
safety and soundness of the bank.
Also, the action must entail substan­
tial financial damage to the bank, or
seriously prejudice the interests of
the bank's depositors or the individ­
ual must have received financial gain.
During 1 979, two actions were
taken under Section 8(e).
Section 8(g) of the FDI Act author­
izes the Corporation to suspend or
remove officers, directors, and other
persons participating in the affairs
of insured State nonmember banks
who are indicted for a felony involv­
ing dishonesty or a breach of trust.
One individual was suspended under
this section in 1979.
Section 19 of the FDI Act prohibits
anyone convicted of any criminal
offense involving dishonesty or breach
of trust from serving as a director,
officer or employee of any insured
bank without the written consent of
the Corporation. In 1978 the Corpo­
ration amended Part 303 of its regu­
lations to delegate to the Board of
Review, the Director of the Division of
Bank Supervision, and its Regional
Directors the authority to approve
certain applications under Sec­
tion 19 where the subject of the
request would not constitute a sig­
nificant threat or risk to the safety



and soundness of the applicant bank.
During 1979, the Corporation con­
sidered 62 cases under Section 19,
approving all but four.

PROBLEM BA N K S
For the third consecutive year, the
number of institutions on the FDIC's
list of problem banks, which peaked
at 385 in November 1976, con­
tinued to decline. By year-end 1979,
the number of problem banks was
287, the lowest since m id-1975 and
a net reduction of 55 for the year.
The decrease is attributed to improve­
ment in the real estate sector and in
local economic conditions follow­
ing the 1973-1975 recession. Be­
cause of the time lag before banks
are affected by an economic cycle
and the time it takes to examine
banks and complete the review and
analysis process, any increase inthe
number of problem banks stemming
from unfavorable developments in
the last half of 1979 might not be
evident until late 1980.
The problem bank list (which in­
cludes national and both member
and nonmember State banks) con­
tinues to be very fluid and most
banks remain on the list for a rela­
tively short period. During 1979,
there were 198 banks removed from
problem status, while 143 were
added. Of those on the list at the end
of 1979, 55 percent had been in
problem status for 18 months or
less, while only 23 percent had been
on the list for more than three years.
Areas of concern in these newlydesignated problem banks included
asset problems resulting from mis­
management and/or insider abuses,
poor earnings, inadequate capital,
and insu fficie n t liquidity. W hile
some banks have relaxed loan qual­
ity considerations in an effort to
generate income to meet rising
costs, other banks have experienced

13

PROBLEM BANKS

disintermediation problems, both of
which have become matters of super­
visory concern.
The FDIC divides problem banks
into three categories based on the
degree of insurance risk:
SERIOUS PROBLEM— POTEN­
TIAL PAYOFF: An advanced seri­
ous problem situation with an
estimated 50 percent or more
chance of requiring financial
assistance by the FDIC.
SERIOUS PROBLEM: A situa­
tion thatthreatens ultimately to
involve the FDIC in a financial
outlay unless drastic changes
occur.
OTHER PROBLEM: A situation
in which a bank has significant

weaknesses but the FDIC is
less vulnerable. Such banks requireaggressivesupervisionand
more than ordinary attention.
An analysis of the problem bank
list since 1973 shows that about 34
percent of the banks once desig­
nated "Serious Problem-Potential
Payoff" ultimately failed. Another 10
percent merged with other banks
without financial assistance from
the Corporation, while one percent
were financially assisted by the Cor­
poration. Fifty-three percent were
accorded a less severe rating or
removed from problem status. Each
of the banks in this category at the
end of 1979 held deposits of less
than $50 million. The two most seri-

ous problem categories accounted
for 67 of the problem banks at yearend 1979, a significant reduction
from the 93 at the end of 1978.
Of the 287 banks on the problem
list at the end of 1979, nine were
affiliates of multi-bank holding com­
panies, while 34 were owned by
one -b a n k h o ld in g com pan ies.
Based on deposit size, banks on the
problem list were distributed as fol­

insured by the FDIC.
The FDIC continues to aggres­
sively supervise problem banks, as
well as those which need moresupervisory attention but do not present
an undue risk to the insurance fund.
During 1979,the Corporation adopted
a procedure to generally require, as
a minimum, cease-and-desist action
againsta problem bankand a less for­
mal memorandum of understanding
with a bank considered to be of super­
visory concern, as defined by the
uniform rating system. This procedurealso isfollowed bytheOCC and
the Federal Reserve Board. Close con­
tact at the W ashington and Re­
gional levels with these Federal reg­
ulators has enabled the Corporation
to keep more currently informed about
banks supervised by them and,
where appropriate, has facilitated
the scheduling of examinations of
related banks and holding compan­
ies supervised by the FDIC and the
other supervisors. Atyear-end, the agencies adopted policy statements cal­
ling for close coordination of exam­
inations and enforcement actions



against related institutions.
The Corporation continues to con­
duct more frequent examinations
and visitsto problem banks, to regu­
larly meet with directors and man­
agement of such banks, and to for­
mally notify them when their bank is
recommended for problem status.
Such procedures not only keep the
d ire ctors of problem banks in ­
formed of the Corporation's con­
cern, but point out their responsibili­
ties and duties in developing and
implementing corrective programs.
FAILED B A N K S
Protection of Depositors. Ten in­
sured banks with deposits totaling
$111 million closed in 1979, com­
pared to seven banks with $854 mil­
lion in deposits in 1978. The FDIC
has nearly completed payoffs of de­
posits of about $12.7 million in
three of the 1979 closings. In the
seven other closed banks, the FDIC
arranged purchase and assumption
transactions which automatically pro­
tected all accounts, including those
in excess of the insurance limit. The
purchase and assumption transac­
tions were assisted by cash ad­
vances of $70.5 million from the
FDIC insurance fund. In these cases
$7.8 million in purchase premiums
were received from the assuming
banks.
The deposit assumption and the
deposit payoff are the two principal
methods available to the FDIC to
protect depositors. In the 558 in­
sured bank failures that have re­
quired Corporation disbursements
since 1934, 251 were deposit as­
sumptions and 307 were direct de­
posit payoffs. In the assumption meth­
od, which has been used increas­
ingly in recent years, the depositors'
accounts in the failed bank become
depositaccountsinthehealthyassuming bank. All depositors are thereby

afforded full protection with min­
imal or no disruption of banking ser­
vices to the community. In a payoff,
the FDIC pays depositors the net
amount covered by deposit insur­
ance. These payments usually begin
within five to seven days of the bank
closing. Payments of the uninsured
portions of deposits, to the extent
possible, are made over a period of
tim efrom the proceeds of liquidated
assets and other sources.
The FDIC also may provide direct
assistance to an operating insured
bank in danger of failing to enable it
to remain open if that bank is essen­
tial to maintain adequate banking
services in a community. It has pro­
vided such assistance in four cases,
most recently in 1976.
In the 558 failed bank cases, 99.8
percent of the depositors had re­

ceived or were assured of payments
of their deposits in full at the end of
1979, and 99.8 percent of the total
deposits had been paid or made
available to them. In the 307 deposit
payoff cases, 98.8 percent of depos­
itors had received full recovery. While
the recovery of uninsured deposits
varies, in the aggregate almost 97
percent of total deposits had been
paid or made available. About 70
percent of the total amount already
recovered by or made available to
depositors in deposit payoff cases
was provided by FDIC payment of
insured deposits, with additional
amounts provided from the pro­
ceeds of liquidated assets, offsets
against indebtedness and pledged
assets.

sets of $326.5 million failed, affect­
ing 231,688 depositors with depos­
its of $283.5 million. The 1970s
saw 76 insured bankfailures involv­
ing assets of about $8 billion and
2.1 million depositors with deposits
totaling about $5 billion. At the end
of 1979, the Division of Liquidation
was disposing of the assets of 84
banks in 27 States, the Virgin Is­
lands, and Puerto Rico. At year-end
1979, there were more than 76,000
assets with a book value of more
than $1.9 billion to be liquidated.
About one-third of these assets were
real estate related.



The FDIC's policy is to convert the
assets of closed banks to cash as
early as practical and to realize max­
imum recovery for distribution to the
creditors and stockholders.
In the 53 purchase and assump­
tion transactions inthe 1970s, banks
acquired about $3.6 billion of as­
sets from the FDIC. as receiver,
which had the effect of immediately
recovering substantial amounts for
the creditors. For the same period,
the FDIC, as liquidator, collected
about $3.8 billion in principal, inter­
est and costs from the remaining
assets. In addition, the receiverships

FAILED BANKS

recovered $325 million from pur­
chase premiums paid by banks for
the right to acquire the failed banks'
deposits and banking locations.
Recovery for creditors and stock­
holders can also result in some cases
from directors' liability actions ini­
tiated by the receiver and /or liquid­
ator. Because many bank closings
are the direct result of bank direc­
tors' failure to use reasonable care
in discharging their duties or permit­
ting violations of banking laws, the
FDIC normally investigates potential

negligence and files claims when
warranted against members of the
bank's board. In 1979, the FDIC filed
four directors' liability suits; at the
end of 1979, there were 26 such
suits pending.
Whenever it is determined thatthe
bank suffered losses due to the fraud­
ulent and dishonest acts of its em­
ployees, the Corporation pursues a
claim against the institution's Bank­
ers Blanket Bond carrier. Most claims
are settled without litigation. How­

An important innovation in the
FDIC’s liquidation program devel­
oped in 1979 for introduction in
1980 is a separate budget to intro­
duce tighter monitoring and control

tions. This budget will encompass
insurance fund expenditures which
the Corporation seeks to recoupthrough
liq u id ation operations before it
writes off a loss. The 1 980 budget
covers costs to be incurred in 1980
in the continuing administration of

CONSUMER AND CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTION

banks that failed in 1979 or earlier—
an active caseload of 84 banks.
There is also a small contingency
fund to begin closed-bank activities
for failures that may occur in 1980.
Individual closed-bank budgets will
be developed and incorporated as
failures occur.
Also, a new integrated liquidation
accounting system, to become opera­
tional in January 1980, is designed
to operate on computers. It will be
able to produce on demand full finan­
cial statements and budget status
reports for all closed-bank activities.
These reports separately and to ­
gether will provide much greater
information for the management of
banks in liquidation.
The system tested well in late 1979,
but 1 980 will be a year of conver­
sion and initial operation. The Cor­
poration will obviously need some
running time and experience with
the system to overcome shortcom­
ings and introduce refinements.
The FDIC is charged with obtain­
ing the best possible recovery in
each liquidation. Its goal is to repay
the insurance fund first and to return
any excess to bank shareholders
where a purchase and assumption is
arranged or to share the recovery
proportionally with general cred­
itors and then the shareholders when
the Corporation serves as receiver
following a deposit payoff.
CONSUMER AND CIVIL
RIGHTS PROTECTION
Resolving Complaints. Examiner moni­
toring of consumer and civil rights
compliance by banks is comple­
mented by the work of the Office of
Consumer Affairs and Civil Rights
(OCACR) which follows up com ­
plaints of individuals. OCACR also
disseminates consumer protection
information and in November 1979
introduced a consumer hot line which



19

draws about 240 calls a week. This
hot line helps consumers and banks
by promoting better understanding
and resolution of questions.
This year saw the appointments of
OCACR's first permanent Director
and a Community Reinvestment Act
specialist. The Corporation also ap­
pointed a specialist for Spanish­
speaking persons. Among otherduties,
this specialist oversees the transla­
tion of FDIC consumer pamphlets
into Spanish. OCACR w ill also
launch a special outreach program
forSpanish-speaking persons in 1980
and will explore the possibility of
other specialized outreach pro­
grams.
In 1979 the FDIC instituted a new
computerized system to:
(1) follow the status and handling of
consumer complaints and requests
for information,
(2) produce one-page summaries of
census information for use by exam­
iners and other FDIC personnel eva­
luating bank compliance with the
Community Reinvestment Act,
(3) summarize hundreds of letters of
comment on proposed new Truthin-Lending Guidelines, and
(4) tabulate a follow-up survey ask­
ing complainants if their problems
were satisfactorily resolved.
Fair Housing. The FDIC developed
and pre-tested a data collection sys­
tem to provide a valid statistical
basis for the monitoring of home
loans under the Fair Housing and
Equal Credit Opportunity Acts. This
system will supplement the tools of
the compliance bank examiner. It is
slated to become operational during
1980.
The data collection system is de­
signed to detect possible home loan
discrimination. The relationship be­
tween inquiries and applications, be­
tween successful and unsuccessful
applications, and the loan terms grant­
ed to borrowers will be categorized
and compared by the race, sex, age

20

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

and marital status of inquirers and
applicants. Use of this system will
not definitely establish the existence
of illegal discrimination, but should
identify for FDIC examiners those
banks requiring more extensive exam­
ination and follow-up.
Mortgage Disclosure. The FDIC and
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
completed a study of the Home Mort­
gage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The
study assessed the accuracy of 44
depository institutions' HMDAstatements and the cost of preparing the
data on mortgage lending activity
w hich appears in these s ta te ­
ments.
The study concluded that home
mortgage disclosure data are used
extensively by the Federal financial
supervisory agencies as part of their
compliance examinations. However,
it concluded that many institutions
do not have sufficiently accurate
statements. Further, the cost of com­
piling home mortgagedisclosuredata
was shown to vary considerably among
institutions.
The report recommended exten­
sion of the Act, which was passed in
1975 and expires in 1980 if not
reenacted. The FDIC has gone on
record as supporting the extension
of the Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act.
Truth-In-Lending Enforcement Guide­
lines. The FDIC, in conjunction with
the other Federal financial regula­
tory agencies, adopted effective Jan­
uary 4, 1979, uniform guidelines for
the enforcement of Truth In Lending
Regulation Z. These guidelines call
for reimbursement to customers for
overcharges of $ 1.00 or more, or for
smaller overcharges that are part of
a consistent pattern of violations or
result from gross negligence or w ill­
ful violations of the Truth In Lending
Act. Changestosimplifyand streng­
then the guidelines were proposed
in October. Pending consideration
of the nearly 800 comments re­



ceived and the adoption of revised
guidelines, FDIC supervised banks
are temporarily being permitted to
defer making such reimbursements.
Community Reinvestment. The Com­
munity Reinvestment Act (CRA) of
1977, which became effective in
November 1978, requires the Cor­
poration to monitor the records of
financial institutions in meeting the
credit needs of their communities,
including lowand moderate-income
neighborhoods.
Effective February 4, 1979, the
Board of Directors of each insured
State nonmember bank was re­
quired to adopt a CRA statement for
its local service area. FDIC regula­
tions specify the minimum require­
ments for a CRA statement and,
among other things, require that the
current CRA statement be available
for public inspection at the home
office of the bank and at each office
of the bank in the local community
delineated in the statement, except
for off-premises electronic deposit
facilities. Banks are required to main­
tain files that are readily available for
public inspection, including any
signed written comments received
from the public within the previous
two years that specifically relate to
the bank's statement or its perfor­
mance in helping meet the credit
needs of its community or com­
munities.
A bank's CRA perform ance is
taken into account by the FDIC in
considering applications for deposit
insurance, establishment of branches
or other facilities, relocations of
main or branch offices, and applica­
tions for merger, consolidation, ac­
quisition of assets or assumption of
lia b ilities. The assessment of a
bank's CRA performance record may
be a basis for denial of an applica­
tion.
Twenty-five challenges to applica­
tions by FDIC-supervised banks
have been filed on CRA grounds,

21

CONSUMER AND CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTION

and early in 1979 the first denial of a
bank application on CRA grounds
occurred. Other applications which
were subjected to challenges have
been approved by the Corporation
and activity in this area continues to
be substantial, particularly in met­
ropolitan areas.
Right to Financial Privacy Act of
1978 . The Right to Financial Privacy
Act, Title XI of FIRIRCA, became
effective in March 1979. The Act
places restrictions on the use of
information derived from bank cus­
tomer records which is lawfully in
the FDIC's possession. In most cases,
customer information contained in
examination reports can no longer

be transferred to other Federal govern­
ment authorities without notifica­
tion to the affected customer. Also,
the FDIC must be assured that the
information is required in connec­
tion with a legitimate law enforce­
ment activity. In 1979 the Division
of Bank Supervision began review­
ing and revising all policies and
procedures which are affected by
the provisions of the Act.
Consumer Complaints and Inquir­
ies. OCACR is responsible for the
appropriate disposition of con­
sumer complaints and inquiries di­
rected to the FDIC. During 1979
there were 2,801 complaints and
5,270 inquiries received by the FDIC

nationwide, an increase of 538 and
2,796, respectively, over 1978. This
increase is due in part to installation
of a toll-free telephone number
(800-424-5488) at the Washington
Office to handle complaints and in­
quiries. The increase also is attribu­
table to an outreach initiative to
increase consumers' awareness of
their rights under the various con­
sumer protection and civil rights sta­
tutes. Mostquestionsfielded by OCACR
centered on deposit withdrawal pen­
alties, bankdeposit policies and prac­
tices, the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act and the Truth in Lending Act.
Corrective action is sought in all
cases where a bank error or violation
of law is discovered as a result of a
complaint, and follow-up action is
taken to ensure compliance.
Consumer and Banker Education.
During 1979, the OCACR staff made
numerous presentations to consu­
mer, community and industry groups.
The FDIC also distributed more than
3 2 m i l l i o n p a m p h l e t s on c o n s u m e r

information. These free pamphlets
are available singly to individuals
and in quantity to banks and consu­
mer organizations. OCACR also has
distributed these pamphlets at con­
sumer fairs and national confer­
ences.
Minority Bank Development Pro­
gram. In 1979, the three Federal
bank regulatory agencies and the
Department of Commerce were instru­
mental in organizing the Minority
Bank Development Program. The pro­
gram is designed to serve as a cata­
lyst to coordinate, structure and en­
courage private sector support for
the nation's minority-owned banks,
of which there are about 100. The
program will offer management and
market development activities and
foster the establishment of an inde­
pendent capital support vehicle.
Opportunity Funding Corporation
has been given the grant to estab­
lish, coordinate and direct all pro­



gram components. An Executive Com­
mittee composed of private sector
participants and the Department of
Commerce will offer continuing ad­
vice on all aspects of the program
and its policies and priorities. The
FDIC and other bank regulators
serve on an Advisory Committee which
will offer training assistance, per­
form studies, provide feedback on
the program's effectiveness and
make suggestions for im prove­
ments. The FDIC's share of the fund­
ing of this program is on a year-toyear basis and future grants will
depend on an assessment of the
program's effectiveness. At the end
of 1979, the program's manage­
ment was in place and studies were
nearing conclusion on criteria for
selection of a few target banks for
receipt of intensive assistance.

INTEREST RATE
DEVELOPMENTS
Increased Interest Expense. Sharp­
ly rising interest rates and such in­
novations as money market certifi­
cates of deposit (MMCDs), auto­
matic transfer service (ATS) and neg o tia b le o rd e r of w ith d ra w a l
(NOW) accounts in New York State,
combined to cause marked changes
in the liability structure of many U.S.
banks in 1979. Banks acquired highyielding assets, but on balance, the
net effect on the industry as a whole
probably was some narrowing in net
interest margins.
The general level of interest rates
on market securities fluctuated with­
in a range of 9 to 10 percent in the
first half of 1 979, before rising
sharply in the second half. At yearend, six-month Treasury bill rates
were 12.50 percent on a bond-yield
basis and Federal funds rates ap­
proached 15 percent. MMCD rates
more than doubled over the rates
available on regular passbook sav­

INTEREST RATE DEVELOPMENTS

ings and other time deposits of less
than $10,000, prompting the con­
version of many deposit accounts.
At commercial and mutual savings
banks, holdings of MMCDs (time
deposits of $10,000 or more with
maturities of six months and paying
a maximum rate linked to the inter­
est rate on newly issued six-month
Treasury bills) increased sharply as
banks sought to compete with alter­
native market instruments, includ­
ing money market mutual funds.
By the end of December 1979,
MMCDs amounted to $34.4 billion,
or more than 24 percent of total
deposits at mutual savings banks,
and to $103.2 billion or nearly 10
percent of total domestic deposits at
commercial banks. Special tabula­
tions from September and Decem­
ber condition reports showed an
increase from 570 to 1,573 in the
number of insured nonmember
banks having ratios of MMCDs to
total deposits of 20 percent or more.
Banks with less than $ 100 million in
assets headquartered outside met­
ropolitan areas held a disproportion­
ately large amount of these highcost deposits.
Accenting the 1979 increase in
interest expense for banks was the
continuing shift of consumer funds
from non-interest bearing demand
deposits to interest-bearing trans­
action accounts: ATS and NOW bal­
ances. A substantial amount of ef­
fort is being expended through the
bank monitoring systems to assess
the capacity of individual bank man­
agements to structure their loan and
securities portfolios to cope with the
present inflationary environment.
Mutual Savings Banks. Unprecedentedly high interest rates, espe­
cially in the latter half of 1979, sub­
jected the mutual savings bank in­
dustry to a severe earnings squeeze.
In addition, savings banks, particu­
larly in metropolitan areas such as
New York and Boston, experienced



23

substantial deposit outflow s in
1979. With increasing interest rates
available in other areas, net deposit
outflows excluding interest at mu­
tual savings banks increased through­
out the year and totaled $7 billion
for 1979. For the month of October
alone, deposit losses were well in
excess of $ 1 billion.
The introduction of six-month
money market certificates in 1978,
while perhaps averting some de­
posit losses, sharply increased the
cost of funds for mutual savings
banks. Large proportions of these
money market certificates repre­
sented transfers from relatively lowcost savings deposits. With relative­
ly inelastic earnings position, the
overall profitability of the industry
was substantially reduced in 1979.
Reflecting a concern for the earn­
ings squeeze and deposit outflow,
with the resultant liquidity pres­
sures, the FDIC increased its efforts
to more closely monitor industry
trends as well as its surveillance of
individual banks.
Small Savers. In an effort to help
small savers. Federal regulators
moved jointly in 1979 to approve a
series of interest rate regulatory
changes.
Effective July 1, regulators in­
creased the maximum passbook
rate to 5 1/4 percent from 5 percent
for commercial banks and to 51/2
percent from 5 1A percent for thrifts,
created a newfour-yearfloating rate
savings certificate and eliminated
the minimum denomination on most
time deposits.
In December, regulators created a
new 2V4 year certificate to replace
the four-year floating rate certifi­
cate, at a yield tied to the yield on
Treasury securities maturing in 2 Vi
years. The agencies also increased
the ceiling on 90 day to one-year
deposits to 5% percent from 5Vi
percent for commercial banks and
to 6 percent from 53A percent for

24

thrifts. These actions were to be­
come effective January 1, 1980.
IN T E R N A T IO N A L B A N K IN G
The Corporation's increased in­
volvement in the area of interna­
tional banking continued during
1 979 as evidenced, in part, by the
issuance of several regulations and
final as well as proposed policy state­
ments covering aspects of this im­
portant segment of the banking bus­
iness. Much of the Corporation's
activity was attributable to FIRIRCA
and the International Banking Act of
1978 (IBA).
To implement FIRIRCA, the Corpora­
tion adopted a new regulation, Part
347, pertaining to foreign banking
activities of insured State nonmem­
ber banks. Under the regulation, an
insured State nonmember bank
must obtain the Corporation's con­
sent before establishing its first
branch in a foreign country or be­
fore acquiring any ownership inter­
est in a foreign bank or other finan­
cial entity. A foreign branch is per­
mitted to exercise certain powers
beyond its general banking powers,
provided they are consistent with
the laws of the State where the bank
is chartered and with banking prac­
tices in the foreign country where
the branch is located.The regulation
also sets forth requirements for
establishing additional branches in
a foreign country; for recordkeep­
ing, controls and reporting on for­
eign activities; and for making loans,
purchasing securities or investing in
affiliated foreign banks or financial
entities.
Another new regulation, Part 346,
was issued to implement Section 6
of the IBA which, among other
things, authorizes and in some
cases requires, Federal deposit in­
surance coverage of U.S. branches
of foreign banks. Under the regula­
tion, a State branch of a foreign bank
which accepts initial deposits of less
than $100,000 must become in­



sured if it is located in a State that
requires State banks to have deposit
insurance. A branch may be exemp­
ted from this requirement if the ac­
ceptance of initial deposits of less
than $100,000 is limited to one or
more exempt categories listed in the
regulation. A branch which is ex­
empted by the regulation from the
insurance requirement must notify
its depositors that deposits in the
branch are not insured.
The regulation also sets forth re­
quirements for the operation of in­
sured branches, including — but not
limited to — furnishing the Corpora­
tion with information regarding the
overseas activities of the foreign
bank and its affiliates to the extent
allowed by foreign law; allowing the
FDIC to examine all offices of the
foreign bank and its affiliates in the
U.S.; pledging assets to the Corpo­
ration; and maintaining assets pay­
able in the U.S., in dollars or a freelyconvertible foreign currency, at
least equal to the amount of the
insured branch's liabilities. In addi­
tion, the regulation establishes rules
for the operation of insured and
uninsured branches in the same
State.
During the year, 14 foreign banks
applied fo r insurance fo r 26
branches located in various parts of
the country. At year end, insurance
had been granted to three branches
of two banks.
Since the IBA granted supervisory
responsibilities to each of the Fed­
eral bank regulatory agencies, a
joint policy statement was issued
through the FFIEC on the supervi­
sion of U.S. branches and agencies
of foreign banks. The agencies' super­
visory operations will be aimed at
assuring the safety and soundness
of these institutions and their adher­
ence to U.S. law and regulation. To
ensure close cooperation with State
authorities, a uniform examination
approach has been developed through
the FFIEC to minimize dual examina­
tions and to facilitate joint FederalState examinations, when desirable.

INTERNATIONAL BANKING

The Federal regulatory authorities,
through the FFIEC and in coopera­
tion with affected State authorities,
also have developed joint reporting
requirements for U.S. offices of for­
eign banks. In recognition of the
reliance of these offices on the finan­
cial strength of their parent and affil­
iated offices outside the U.S., the
regulators also will seek assurance
thatthe parent institutions are finan­
cially sound. To this end, the agen­
cies plan to collect information on
the consoldiated operations of the
foreign banks and will continue to
engage in dialogue with senior man­
agement of the banks and bank super­
visory authorities of other nations.
In recognition of the importance
of overseas lending activities of U.S.
banks, the Corporation and other
banking agencies havecontinued to
follow uniform procedures for eva­
luating and commenting on country
risk factors in the international loan
portfolios of U.S. banks. Country risk
in bank lending refers to the possi­
bility that economic, political or
social conditions in a country might
create a situation in which borrow­
ers in that country would be unable
to service or repay their debts to for­
eign lenders in a timely manner.
The uniform procedure requires
examiners to segregate country risk
factors from the evaluation of other
lending risks and to assess a bank's
ability to analyze and monitor coun­
try risk in its international lending.
The assessment emphasizes diversi­
fication of exposure to individual
countries as the primary method of
moderating country risk in interna­
tional portfolios. Examiners classify
a bank's aggregate credits to a coun­
try on the basis of country risk only
when there has been an interruption
in debt servicing or one is consi­
dered imminent. The commercial
credit risks in the bank's interna­
tional portfolios continue to be as­
sessed on an individual loan basis in
accordance with traditional stand­



25

ards of credit analysis.
To help monitor the growth and
composition of the international
loan portfolios of U.S. banks, the
Corporation receives the results of
the semi-annual Country Exposure
Report. The report is mandatory for
any domestic bank with a foreign
branch, a foreign subsidiary, or an
Edge Act or Agreement corporation
(branches of national banks estab­
lished with Federal Reserve appro­
val in foreign countries to finance
and stimulate foreign trade) with
aggregate foreign claims in excess
of $20 million. It is intended to cap­
ture data on foreign credit activity of
U.S. banks in all countries, by type of
borrower and maturity of claims.
Banks are also required to report
firm commitments to extend addi­
tional credit in any country.
The Corporation, through the
FFIEC, in 1979 issued a proposed
Statement of Policy Concerning Min­
imum Standard for Documentation,
Accounting and Auditing of Foreign
Exchange and Money Market Opera­
tions of Commercial Banks. The in­
tent of the policy statement is to
reinforce existing accounting proce­
dures and auditing practices widely
utilized by commercial banks in mon­
itoring and controlling foreign ex­
change and money market activities.
The policy statement emphasizes
the need for timely and accurate
internal reporting so that bank
boards of directors, senior manage­
ment and government supervisors
can manage and supervise this in­
creasingly important aspect of inter­
national banking activity.
Because of the Corporation's in­
creased involvement in interna­
tional banking, an effort has been
made to enhance the staff's exper­
tise in this area. A number of exa­
miners have attended specialized
courses and seminars in interna­
tional banking. In cooperation with
the other two Federal banking agen­

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

26

cies, the Corporation participated in
1 979 in a two-week basic course in
international banking. Additional in­
ternational banking courses are ex­
pected to be conducted in 1980
under the auspices of the FFIEC. The
Corporation also filled a staff posi­
tion in its Washington Office having
specific responsibility for focusing
on international activities of domes­
tic banks and domestic operations
of foreign banks.

collected quarterly, while the Report
of Income, which was previously col­
lected at the end of the year, now is
collected on a semi-annual basis.
These revisions to the reports, which
had not been changed for a number
of years, were designed in part to
provide additional information to
achieve an effective integrated mon­
itoring system for mutual savings
banks. Work on the system has pro­
gressed and it is expected to be
operational early in 1980.

REPORTS AND SURVEYS
During 1979, the FDIC staff was
involved in the development of bank
reports, largely required by statute,
and as participants in the activities
of the FFIEC. Among these were
reports for U.S. branches and agen­
cies of foreign financial institutions
initiated pursuant to the Interna­
tional Banking Act of 1978. As re­
quired by FIRIRCA, reports were also
developed for the disclosure of loans
extended to certain bank employees
and stockholders by the employing
bank or its correspondent banks.
The staff provided analytical sup­
port to promote interagency uniform­
ity in bank report instructional mate­
rials, in the publication of statistics,
and in the further development of
automated bank surveillance sys­
tems and reports related to such
systems.
Surveys were initiated for moni­
toring money market certificates
and automatic transfers from sav­
ings accounts. FDIC staff also partic­
ipated in the establishment of a new
weekly survey of selected nonmem­
ber banks for data to be used by the
Federal Reserve in estimating the
non member bank component of the
nation's money supply.
A new Report of Condition and a
new Report of Income were introduced
in 1979formutualsavingsbanks.The
Report of Condition continues to be



BANK SECURITY
Part 326 of the FDIC's Rules and
Regulations implements the Bank
Protection Act of 1968. It prescribes
minimum standards for the installa­
tion, maintenance, and operation of
security devices; procedures to dis­
courage external bank crimes; and
guidelines and procedures to assist
in the apprehension of persons com­
mitting those crimes. Similar regula­
tions were adopted by the other
Federal bank regulatory agencies.
Part 326 requires banks to file
Reports on Security Devices and
Reports of Crime with the appro­
priate FDIC Regional Offices. The
Corporation received 1,451 Re­
ports of Crime in 1979, up from
1,186 in 1978. During 1979, FDIC
and the other Federal bank regula­
tors began discussions on a joint
proposal to amend the implement­
ing regulations of the Bank Protec­
tion Act. Substantive changes being
considered include reducing or
simplifying reporting requirements
for banks.
The upsurge of white collar crime
experienced by the banking industry
in recent years began to erode the
availability of fidelity insurance for
many banks. To combat this trend,
the FDIC participated in the devel­
opment of the Controlled Group
Bonding Plan sponsored by the

SECURITIES ACTIVITIES

American Bankers Association. The
plan, which gained acceptance in
many States in 1 978, is designed to
provide banks with adequate fidelity
and surety coverage while also pro­
viding the insurer a reasonable re­
turn on his risk investment. Banks
participating in the plan must agree
to engage an approved examining
firm to conduct an in-depth exami­
nation of their internal controls. Con­
versely, participating insurers agree
to give special consideration to un­
derwriting fidelity coverage for par­
ticipating banks. The objective of the
plan is to reduce the risk of bank
losses arising from the dishonest
acts of bank directors, officers and
employees.

SECURITIES ACTIVITIES
Registration and Reporting. The
Corporation administers and enfor­
ces the registration and reporting
provisions of the Securities Ex­
change Act of 1934 for insured
nonmember banks. These provisions
are applicable to banks with more
than$1 million in assets and 500 or
more holders of any class of equity
security. Such banks are required to
file an initial registration statement
and periodic reports, as well as a
special report covering any material
event which occurred in the preced­
ing month.
To comply with the Corporation's
regulation, any matter presented for
a vote of security holders must be
effectuated through a proxy state­
ment, orthrough an information state­
ment if proxies are not solicited.
Where directors are to be elected,
the proxy or information statement
must be accompanied or preceded
by an annual report disclosing the
financial condition of the bank. Offi­
cers and directors of a bank whose
securities are registered and any
person or related group of persons



27

holding more than five percent of
such securities must report their
holdings and any changes in their
holdings to the Corporation. All re­
quired statements and reports filed
with the Corporation under the Secu­
rities Exchange Act are public doc­
uments and are available for inspec­
tion at the Corporation's head­
quarters and elsewhere.
At the end of 1979, there were
396 banks registered with the FDIC,
compared to 377 in 1978.
Municipal Securities Dealer Activ­
ities. As of December 31, 1 979, 54
State nonmember banks or their de­
partments were registered as munic­
ipal securities dealers. All municipal
securities dealers are subject to rules
promulgated by the Municipal Secu­
rities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
During 1979 the FDIC's reporting
schedules were revised to comply
with newly adopted and amended
MSRB Rules and comprehensive
examination guidelines were devel­
oped.
Lost and Stolen Securities Pro­
gram. The Corporation shares en­
forcement responsibility with the Secu­
rities and Exchange Commission for
Rule 1 7f-1 which established a na­
tional computer-assisted reporting
and inquiry system for lost, stolen,
counterfeit and forged securities.
After a pilot period of about a year
and a half, the program and Rule
1 7f-1 became permanent on July 1,
1979. All insured banks and bro­
kers, dealers and other securities
firms are subject to the rule and are
required to register with the Secu­
rities Information Center, Inc., (SIC),
Wellesley, Massachusetts. The lost
and stolen securities program cre­
ates a central data base at the SIC of
reported thefts and losses. Banks
are required to validate certain secu­
rities coming into their possession
by checking with the SIC; all mis­
sing, lost, stolen or counterfeit secu­
rities must be reported to the SIC.

28

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

The objective of the program is to
identify and thereby reduce traffic in
such securities. Examination proce­
dures were revised in 1979 to ac­
commodate these added responsi­
bilities and to assure compliance by
banks supervised by the FDIC.
Offering Circular Policy State­
ment. The issuance of securities by
banks is subject to the antifraud
provisions of Federal securities
laws, which require full and ade­
quate disclosure of material facts.
On July 2. 1979, the Corporation
issued a statement of policy out­
lining the minimum standards for
the disclosure of material facts in
connection with the offer and sale of
banksecurities by insured State non­
member banks. The statement of
policy is designed to acquaint banks
with their legal exposure when offer­
ing securities for sale and to pro­
mote greater awareness of their re­
sponsibilities under the antifraud
provisions of Federal securities law.
In general, a filing requirementfor
offering circulars is not imposed by
the Statement of Policy. However,
submission of circulars for review by
the FDIC staff is encouraged. The
Corporation continues to require the
use of offering circulars by banks
that are subject to orders under
Section 8 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act. The Corporation also
will review whether public investors
have been provided sufficient dis­
closure of material facts by any State
nonmember bank which is in organi­
zation. The staff of the Corporation
is available for consultation and as­
sistance.

LEGAL ACTIVITIES
The Legal Division has wide rang­
ing responsibilities within the Cor­
poration, including regulations, en­
forcement actions and liquidation
litigation.



The Legal Division initiated a
major effort in the fall of 1979 to
reduce costs of closed-bank law­
suits, including the fees of outside
attorneys. The FDIC is at present
involved in more than 5,000 law­
suits connected with liquidation and
other closed-bank matters.
A computer program is being de­
veloped to help FDIC staff attorneys
better supervise and evaluate the
performance of outside attorneys.
The program, scheduled for intro­
duction in the spring of 1980, is
intended to allow FDIC staff attor­
neys to increase their participation
in liquidation matters and perform
certain work for which FDIC has
been paying private firms.
In addition, the General Counsel
has established further guidelines
for selection of outside counsel.
These guidelines, aimed at achiev­
ing broader representation, include:
(a) the same law firm usually will not
be hired as lead local counsel on
more than one liquidation simultane­
ously pending; and (b) when feasi­
ble, at least two firms will be used in
each liquidation.
Fees paid by the FDIC to outside
counsel are dependent on the num­
ber of bank failures, the size of those
banks, and the nature and complex­
ity of the litigation they generate.
New steps for cost-effective repre­
sentation do not mean a sacrifice in
quality. The Corporation continues
to be committed to hiring top flight
lawyers to handle liquidation mat­
ters. It takes good lawyers to get
good results, and that is to the ben­
efit of the Corporation, depositors,
creditors and shareholders of the
banks whose assets are being liqui­
dated.
Besides these improvements in
procedures, the Legal Division has
advantageously diminished its case­
load. The major part of the Franklin
National Bank securities litigation,
which is a significant portion of the

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

largest and most complex liquida­
tion in the FDIC's history, was settled
in December 1979.
In addition to monitoring the work
of outside attorneys, the Legal Div­
ision was faced with a demanding inhouse workload in 1979. Staff at­
torneys drafted 13 final rules to
implement FIRIRCA.
The Legal Division is continuing
an exhaustive review of existing regula­
tions in support of an effort to
reduce the regulatory burden and
paperwork. The Chairman has desig­
nated a full time task force for this
effort. In 1979 the Corporation elim­
inated six regulations, issued a pol­
icy statement in lieu of one pro­
posed regulation and substantially
reduced two other regulations. This
is an effort that will continue in
1980.
Evaluating comment on proposed
regulations by the industry and the
public is a major task. In 1979 the
Corporation received more than
1,500 such letters.
Staff attorneys also drafted the
final regulation to implement the
International Banking Act. The under­
taking required innovation and imag­
ination because the law gives the
FDIC an assignment in a new area.
Finally, the Legal Division served
as the FDIC's formal enforcement
arm in handling the various cease
and desist, removal and insurance
termination cases described under
"Enforcement Proceedings."
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The FDIC experienced continuing
strong demand in 1979 for support
and assistance by its research organ­
ization.
The Division of Research continu­
ously monitors developments in the
financial industry and the economy
and assesses the implications of
existing and proposed regulations,



29

proposed legislation and virtually all
policy issues that will require con­
sideration by the FDIC Board.
Some of the economic and finan­
cial subjects studied this year were
deposit insurance reform, new or
m o dified types of d e p o sit a c­
counts, the condition of commercial
and mutual savings banks, oper­
ations of foreign banks in the U.S.,
rising inflation and interest rates,
State usury ceilings, prospects for
the h ou sin g in d u s try , Federal
Reserve membership, and the im­
pact of payment of interest on tran­
saction accounts (NOW accounts,
automatic transfer accounts, tele­
phone transfer services, etc.).
In addition to conducting eco­
nomic and financial studies of di­
rect policy interest to the Board of
Directors, the Division of Research
assisted in activities of other parts of
the Corporation, such as: an evalua­
tion of bank capital adequacy; the
current environment and prospec­
tive developments in electronicfund
transfer systems; the effectiveness
of cease-and-desist orders in cor­
recting unsafe and unsound bank­
ing practices; an assessment of cur­
rent and prospective activity by com­
mercial banks in financial futures
markets; and studies of fin a n ­
cial considerations in the disposi­
tion of acquired assets and liquida­
tion accounting procedures. Re­
search personnel also assisted the
Legal Division as consultants or ex­
pert witnesses in legal suits in­
volving the Corporation.
Major interagency activities in­
volved analyses for three task forces
created by Congress or the Presi­
dent. These task force studies ad­
dressed deposit interest rate ceil­
ings and housing finance (Regula­
tion Q), branching by financial
institutions (McFadden Act) and the
treatment of U.S. banks by other
nations (National Treatment). The
staff also participated in a Depart­

30

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

ment of Commerce task force on the
role of government in the electronic
fund transfer field.
A major study that required a co­
ordinated effort on the part of a
number of Corporation divisions
and offices was an analysis of capi­
tal adequacy in the banking indus­
try. An internal task force was
formed in June 1978 to study the
issue of capital adequacy. The task
force addressed two broad ques­
tions:
(1) Is there a capital problem in
the industry, and, if so, how se­
vere is it?
(2) What are the alternative solu­
tions for dealing with the bank
capital situation?
These questions obviously en­
compass many of the policy consid­
erations that bank supervisors deal
with every day. Phase I of the study,
w h ich was com plete d in Sep­
tember 1979, concluded that, des­
pite the extended declining trend in
capital ratios for the industry, the
smaller capital margins have not
imperiled the safety and soundness
of banks. The report set forth the
need for constant review of regula­
tory policies in light of the impact of
changing risks on the capital posi­
tion of banks. This assessment of the
bank capital situation included,
along with the important safety and
soundness aspects, the im plica­
tions for the structural and competi­
tive prospects for banks in an in­
creasingly complex financial envi­
ronment.
Phase II of the study is focusing on
alternative solutionsto the bankcapital s itu a tio n . It is speci f i cal l y
addressing capital standards, the
role of subordinated debentures, and
holding company capitalization of
subsidiary banks.
COMPUTER MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS
Computer services generally con­




tinued to play an expanding role in
FDIC operations in 1979 under the
supervision of the Division of Man­
agement systems and Financial Sta­
tistics (DMSFS). National banks
were added to the FDIC's system of
processing Reports of Condition
and Income of 9,200 State nonmem­
ber banks, involving an additional
4,600 reports, including the more
complex reports of larger banks.
National bank reports were trans­
ferred from the OCC to the FDIC to
achieve the savings, efficiency and
consistency of a single system. The
FDIC absorbed the cost. Hereafter,
the FDIC will handle all requests for
national as well as State nonmem­
ber bank data. The Federal Reserve
collects corresponding data for
State member banks and provides
this information for incorporation
into the FDIC data base.
The FDIC's Integrated Monitoring
System (IMS) performs certain basic
tests from data submitted by banks
in their Reports of Condition and
Income. These tests measure a
bank's capital adequacy, asset qual­
ity, liquidity, asset and liability mix
and growth, and profitability. If a
bank fails one or more of the tests,
further analysis of additional data
available from the system is per­
formed. Where analysis indicates an
adverse condition or a potential
problem, appropriate supervisory
action is initiated. The IMS enables
the Corporation to identify with
greater accuracy banks, or particu­
lar aspects of a bank's operation,
that merit closer supervisory atten­
tion, thereby allowing swifter and
more effective response.
In 1979 the Comparative Perfor­
mance Report (CPR) served to sup­
plement the IMS reports distributed
to FDIC examiners and financial ana­
lysts. This report was a revision of
the C o m pa ra tive P erform ance
Tablesthe FDIC regularly has sentto
all insured banks since 1967, and
shows both individual bank data and

SPECIAL SERVICES

peer group data based on informa­
tion from Reports of Income and
Condition. A similar report for yearend 1979 is to be sent to insured
non member banks and to examiners
and financial analysts for their use
with IMS information.
The Corporation expects to achieve
further savings and efficiency by
sharing its processed bank data
base with Federal and State authori­
ties through a teleprocessing sys­
tem. Seven States and the OCC are
already connected, and the Federal
Reserve Board is expected to have
its link by March 1980. The New
York Banking Department is propos­
ing to dispense with its separate
Report of Condition and Income in
favorof theone its banks file with the
FDIC. Michigan authorities are seek­
ing approval of a simplified exami­
nation report made possible by the
tie-in to the FDIC computerized data
base.
The system aids supervision by
giving FDIC Regional Offices imme­
diate access to the bank data base
and to the bank monitoring system.
This permits improved scheduling of
bank examinations and more effec­
tive bank examinations because ex­
aminers can focus their attention on
particular areas of concern. The sys­
tem adapts quickly to special moni­
toring requirements and provides a
range of financial analysis facilities
that assist in special studies and
further improvement of the bank
monitoring system.
DMSFS will seek ways to improve
internal Corporation management
systems in 1980. The division will
provide computer support next year
for refinement of the new liquidation
accounting system, implementation
of the new system for tracking out­
side legal fees involved in closed
banks, and development of a new
recruiting system for examiners. A
new payroll accounting system is
also in the planning stage for 1980.



31

Accounting Standards and Instruc­
tions. The quality of financial report­
ing by the banking industry is of
utmost concern to the Corporation,
since it is integral to decisions made
in furtherance of the FDIC's various
statutory responsibilities. The Cor­
poration recognizes that financial
statements of banks should reflect
business and economic reality. Ac­
cordingly, representatives from the
Corporation cooperate with other
Federal agencies and professional
organizations in continuous efforts
to evaluate financial reporting re­
quirements and to improve the qual­
ity of data provided to the public and
the Corporation by insured State
nonmember banks.
SPECIAL SERVICES
The Office of Legislative Affairs
(OLA) includes the Office of Informa­
tion, which is the Corporation's main
point of contact with the public and
the news media. In 1979 the Office
of Information responded to an aver­
age 100 telephone calls and 150
written requests each day. The Of­
fice is responsible for the prepara­
tion and distribution of letters to
banks and FDIC staff describing pro­
posed or adopted regulations or pol­
icies, the Corporation's annual re­
port, news releases and other litera­
ture describing FDIC operations and
procedures.
The information Office also works
jointly with the Office of the Execu­
tive Secretary in administering the
Corporation's reporting service on
the FDI Act and regulations and
related statutes.
The Office of Legislative Affairs is
also responsible for receiving and
obtaining responses to Congression­
al correspondence and telephone
inquiries and for coordinating other
communications with Congress. In
addition, the Legislative Counsel in
OLA responded to 33 requests in

32

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

1979 from Congress and 19 from
the Office of Management and Bud­
get for detailed and in some cases
extensive comments on proposed
legislation and to numerous other
requests for information.
The FDIC Office of Corporate Aud­
its performed 53 audits of various
aspects of Corporation activities in
1979, one more than in 1978. Aud­
its are designed to determ ine
whether financial, fiscal and ac­
counting operations are properly
conducted and fairly presented,
whether laws and regulations are
complied with, and whether resour­
ces are managed efficiently and de­
sired objectives met.
The Office of the Executive Secre­
tary performs corporate secretarial
functions, such as issuing notices of
all meetings of the Board of Direc­
tors and the FDIC's standing com­
mittees, recording all votes and
minutes of these meetings, main­
taining an index of all official actions
of the Corporation, publishing in the
Federal Register notices of pro­
posed or final rulemaking, and re­
ceiving the thousands of public com­
ments on proposed regulatory ac­
tions.
In 1979 the Executive Secretary's
staff performed secretarial func­
tions for 116 Board meetings. The
Office also provided the necessary
staff coordination for 17 proposed
regulatory actions on which public
comment was received.
The Office of the Executive Secre­
tary administers Corporation com­
pliance with the Freedom of Infor­
mation Act, the Government in the
Sunshine Act and the Privacy Act of
1974. It also performs editorial func­
tions in connection with the FDIC's
loose-leaf reporting service on laws,
regulations and related materials.
In addition, the Executive Secre­
tary serves as the Corporation's Eth­
ics Counselor under the Ethics in
Government Act of 1978 and FDIC's



own regulations. This official also
serves as the Corporation's Records
Management Officer.
The Office of the Controller is
responsible for the preparation of
both the administrative and the liq­
uidation budgetsandforall account­
ing functions. The Controller's office
also performs a number of impor­
tant additional functions, including
headquarters building services, print­
ing and mailing, telecommunications,
purchasing, library services and
administration of assessments. A
major function of the Controller's
Office is management of the FDIC
insurance fund which totaled $9.8
billion at the end of 1979, up $1
billion from 1978. All FDIC uncom­
mitted cash is invested in U.S. govern­
ment securities.
PERSONNEL
Board of Directors. The FDIC is
headed by a three-member Board of
Directors, including the Comptroller
of the Currency who acts as an ex­
officio member. Two of the direc­
tors are appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the
Senate for six-year terms, and one is
elected Chairman by the Board. The
Comptroller is also appointed by the
President, but for a five-year term.
Mr. Irvine H. Sprague succeeded
Mr. George A. LeMaistre as Chair­
man of the Board of Directors on
February 7, 1979. Mr. John G. Heimann, Comptroller of the Currency,
had served as the Acting Chairman
since Mr. LeMaistre's retirement on
August 1 5, 1978. Chairman Sprague
previously served as a member of
the Corporation's Board of Directors
from September 27,1 968, until Feb­
ruary 15, 1973.
Director William M. Isaac contin­
ued to serve his term as a member of
the Board of Directors. Comptroller
Heimann continued to serve as an ex
officio member of the Board of

33

PERSONNEL

Directors.
Employees. The employment of
the Corporation decreased by 179
in 1979, to a year end total of 3,598.
Turnover in FDIC employment for
the year was 13.4 percent (includ­
ing 9.4 percentfor bankexaminers),
compared to an estimated government-wide turnover rate of nearly
25 percent.
Average grade and salary of the
FDIC workforce in 1979 were GG9.4 and $ 19,958.
The Corporation's Office of Per­

sonnel Management oversees em­
ployee benefits, recruiting and hir­
ing, and position management and
classification. The Office of Employ­
ee Relations administers the Corpo­
ration's equal employment opportu­
nity and labor relations programs.
The Corporation continued to im­
prove its record in hiring women and
minorities this year. In the GeneralGraded Workforce, women employ­
ees increased to 30.5 percent in
1979. up slightly from 30.1 percent
in 1978. M inorities represented

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

14.8 percent of the General-Graded
Workforce, compared to 14.3 per­
cent the previous year. Women in
bank examiner jobs (including stu­
dent assistants) assigned to the 14
regions increased from 13.4 per­
cent to 13.8 percent and minorities
in such positions increased from 8.2
percent to 8.5 percent.
A Chairman's Task Force is seek­
ing ways to improve opportunities
for women and minorities and con­
sidering other reforms such as part
time employment opportunities.
Personnel Adm inistration. The
FDIC in 1979 adopted several impor­
tant new personnel policies and pro­
grams. These included policies gov­
erning leave usage, probationary
periods for supervisors and manag­
ers, and inhouse and outside train­
ing. Position management and classi­
fication projects included: implemen­
tation of a new pay system for all field
liquidation support personnel, com­
pletion of a two-year study of the
management structures of the 14
Regional Offices, a study of the levels
of duties and responsibilities of field
office supervisor positions, and insti­
tution of an annual review of all Cor­
poration position descriptions for ac­
curacy and completeness.
This was the first full year of opera­
tion under a new merit promotion
pr ogr am and a new in ce n tive
awards program, both of which were
adopted in 1978. The Corporation
in 1979 processed 318 selections
under the new internal placement
program and granted 40 monetary
incentive awards. At the Corpora­
tion's Awards Ceremony on Decem­
ber 19, 1979, 104 employees were
recognized for 15, 25, 35 and 40 or
more years of service. Also, three
employees received special honor­
ary awards:

Examiner Training. The Corpora­
tion conducts a comprehensive train­
ing program designed to maintain a
highly-qualified, well-informed ex­
aminer staff. During 1 979 more
than 2,200 students received train­
ing in such areas as bank examina­
tion fundamentals, accounting and
auditing techniques, credit apprai­
sal, management and supervision,
financial analysis, consumer and
civil rights compliance, examination
of computerized banks and trust de­
partment examinations. Programs
are conducted in the Division of
Bank Supervision's modern training
center located in Rosslyn, Virginia.
In addition to FDIC examiners,
about 270 studentsfrom State Bank­
ing Departments, foreign govern­
ments and other Federal agencies
participated in FDIC-sponsored train­
ing progams during the year.
Six programs involving 208 stu­
dents were held in 1979 under the
aegis of the Federal Financial Insti­
tution Examination Council. It is antic­
ipated that such training will be
expanded into areas as consumer
protection, white collar crime and
international banking during 1980.

FINANCES OF THE
CORPORATION
Deposit Insurance. Federal de­
posit insurance covers the aggre­
gate deposits of individuals and busi­
nesses in each insured bank up to
$40,000 and Individual Retirement
Accounts and Keogh accounts up to
$ 100,000. Time and savings depos­

FINANCES OF THE CORPORATION

its held by government units (except
deposits in out-of-State banks) are
insured up to $100,000 for each
depositor. On December 31, 1979,
more than 97 percent of all com­
mercial banks in the United States
and about 70 percent of all mutual
savings banks were covered by Fed­
eral deposit insurance.
Deposit Insurance Fund. The Cor­
poration's deposit insurance fund
provides the basic resource for the
protection of depositors. It is the
excess of the Corporation's assets
over its liabilities and represents the
net income accumulated since the
beginning of deposit insurance in
1933. Should additional funds ever
become needed, the Corporation,
under authority granted but never
exercised, may borrow up to $3 bil­
lion from the U.S. Treasury.
The d e p o s it i nsur ance f und
amounted to $9.8 billion at the end
of 1979, an increase of more than
$1 billion since the end of 1978.
This increase was $194 m illion
greater than the increase for 1978
and twice the increase in 1974. Net
assessments incurred by insured
banks in 1979 were $356 million, or
3 percent less than they incurred in
1978. The year-to-year improve­
ment in revenue reflects the Corpo­
ration's ability to take advantage of
the particularlyfavorablechanges in
the interest rates earned on its expand­
ing portfolio of government securi­
ties, and a more favorable than antic­
ipated recovery experience on as­
sets acquired from failed banks.
During the past several years, the
deposit insurance fund has re­
mained at about 1.2 percent of total
insured deposits. While there is no
actuarial consensus as to what the
appropriate amount of the fund should
be, the basic strength of the fund has
been demonstrated by thefactthat it
has been more than sufficient to
meet all requirements made upon it,
even during the larger-than-usual



35

bank failures of 1973-78. During
this period the assets of those bank
failures amounted to $7.7 billion;
whereas, by the end of 1979 the
Corporation had reduced the book
value figure for all banks in liquida­
tion to about $1.9 billion. In addi­
tion, during recentyears, the Corpo­
ration has set aside $227 million to
cover possible insurance losses on
liquidations currently in process,
and increased its administrative bud­
get to meet rising costs and broad­
ened responsibilities. The deposit
insurance fund increased 60 per­
cent, from $6.1 billion at the end of
1974 to $9.8 billion at the end of
1979, the largest percentage in­
crease for anyfive-year period since
World War II.
Income and Expenses. The Corpo­
ration's gross revenues amounted to
$1.6 billion in 1979. Of the total
revenue, $882 million was from as­
sessments payable by insured banks
for deposit insurance, $704 million
from interest on investments in U.S.
Government securities, and $30 mil­
lion from notes receivable and other
sources.
Since 1935, the basic assessment
rate paid by insured banks has been
1/1 2 of one percent of total asses­
sable deposits. Legislation enacted
in 1950 in effect reduced the statu­
tory rate of assessment by providing
a 60 percent credit to be applied
against gross assessments levied
each year. This credit to insured
banks was increased to 66 2 /3 per­
cent on December 31, 1961. This
percentage is applied to the gross
assessment due from banks in the
calendar year after subtracting the
Corporation's administrative and
operating expenses, nonrecoverable
insurance expenses, and additions
to reserves for losses in the calendar
year. Thus, although banks were ini­
tially assessed $882 million 1979,
they received assessment credits of
$526 million, which resulted in net

since 1972, the provision for insu­
rance losses and the nonrecoverable insurance expenses were re­
duced during 1979. The reduction
of $55 million reflected the rela­
tively small size of each of the banks
that failed during theyearand better
than expected collections on liqui­
dations involving earlier bank fail­
ures.
GAO Audit. In addition to the
FDIC's continuing internal audit activ­
ity, the General Accounting Office

FINANCES OF THE CORPORATION

continued to conduct an annual
audit of the financial operations of
the Corporation. In addition, under
the Federal Banking Agency Audit
Act (Public Law 95-320), enacted in
1978, the General Accounting Of­
fice also continued to conduct peri­
odic performance audits of the Cor­
poration. These performance audits
primarily concentrated on: bank su­
pervision, with particular emphasis
on the examination process and the
supervision of bank holding com­
panies; foreign banking activity in
the U.S.; identification and disclo­
sure of problems in the banking sys­
tem; consumer related compliance
examinations; and regulatory bur­
den and structure. The results of
both types of audit are reported to
Congress.
Assets and Liabilities. The Corporation'sfinancial position continued




37

to improve steadily during 1979,
resulting in a $ 1.0 billion increase to
the deposit insurance fund. Total
assets on December 31, 1979
amounted to $10.4 billion. Cash
and U.S. Government securities, val­
ued at amortized cost plus accrued
interest, amounted to $9.6 billion.
The remaining assets represented
primarily equity in assets acquired
from failed banks, after allowance
for reserves for losses. These assets
include loans and notes purchased
to facilitate deposit assumptions
and mergers, subrogated claims
against closed banks, and assist­
ance to operating banks.
At the end of 1979, liabilities of
the Corporation were $567 million.
Of this total, $539 million repres­
ented assessment credits due in­
sured banks which will be made
available to them in 1980.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General. These statements do not include accountability for assets and liabilities of closed insured
banks for which the Corporation acts as receiver or liquidating agent. Periodic and final accountability
reports of its activities as receiver or liquidating agent are furnished by the Corporation to courts, superviso­
ry authorities, and others as required.
U.S. Government Obligations. Securities are shown at amortized cost which is the purchase price of
the securities less the amortized premium or plus the accreted discount. Such amortization and accretion
are computed on a daily straight-line basis from the date of acquisition to the date of maturity.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. The Corporation assesses insured banks at the rate of 1/12 of one
percent per year on the bank's average deposit liability less certain exclusions and deductions. Assess­
ments are due in advance for each six-month period and credited to income each month. Section 7(d) of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act states that each July 1, sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the Corpora­
tion's net assessment income from the prior calendar year be made available to insured banks as a prorated
credit against the current assessment due.
Allowance for Losses. It is the policy of the Corporation to establish an estimated allowance for loss at
the time a bank fails. These allowances are reviewed every six months and adjusted as required, based on
the financial developments which accrue during each six-month period. The Corporation does not state its
estimated contingent liability for unknown future bank closings because such estimates are impossible to
make. The Corporation's contingent liability for eventual net losses depends upon factors which cannot be
assessed until or after a bank has actually failed. The Corporation's entire deposit insurance fund and bor­
rowing authority are available, however, for such contingencies.
Depreciation. The headquarters building is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 50-year estimated
life. The cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is expensed at time of acquisition.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1978 financial statements to con­
form to the presentation used in 1979.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - DECEMBER 31, 1979 and 1978
1. U.S. Government Obligations. All cash received by the Corporation which is not used to defray operat­
ing expenses or for outlays related to assistance to banks and liquidation activities, is invested in U.S. Treas­
ury securities. As of December 31,1979 the Corporation's investment portfolio consisted of the following:

7. Available Excess Credits. As of December 3 1 ,1 9 7 9 and 1978, assessments receivable from insured
banks reflected credit balances representing excesses of assessment income credits made available to
insured banks on July 1, 1979 and 1978 over assessments due for the last six months of each calendar
year. These excess credits continued to be available to insured banks at the beginning of the next assess­
ment period in the following calendar years.
8. Notes Payable. These amounts represent the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Corporation's
unsecured notes designated "5.775% Series A Notes due January 1, 1988” and "5.775% Series B Notes
due January 1, 1990'' as set forth in the consents, exchange agreement, and agreements of release and
satisfaction related to the sale of Franklin Buildings, Inc. to European-American Bank and Trust Company.
9. Southern Bancorporation Note Receivable. On December 9, 1976, Southern Bancorporation repaid in
full the $8 million note that the Corporation had purchased on September 24, 1974. Southern Bancorpora­
tion financed this transaction by obtaining a loan from First Union National Bank of North Carolina. To
induce FUNB to enter the loan agreement, the FDIC agreed to guarantee the payment of 75 percent of the
unpaid principal amount of the loan on the terms and conditions set forth in the guarantee agreement. As of
December 31, 1979 and 1978, FUNB's outstanding principal due on the loan totaled $5.8 million and $6.6
million, respectively.
10. Lease Commitments. Rental expense of $4,556,000 (1979) and $3,916,000 (1978) for office
premises has been charged to expense. Minimum rentals for each of the next 5 years and for subsequent
years thereafter are as follows:

ty taxes and maintenance expense.

The Honorable Irvine H. Sprague
Chairman, Board of Directors
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation
Dear Mr. Sprague:
Pursuant to section 17(c) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1827), we have examined the State­
ment of Financial Condition of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation as of December 31, 1979, and the Related State­
ments of Income and the Deposit Fund, Changes in Financial
Position, and Analysis of the Deposit Insurance Fund.
Our
examination was made in accordance with the Comptroller
General's standards for financial and compliance audits.
We
included such tests of the accounting records and such audi t­
ing procedures as we considered necessary in the circum­
stances.
To the extent possible, we supplemented our audit
procedures by using work of the Corporation's internal
audi to rs.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly the financial position of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation at December 31, 1979, and the
results of its operations and changes in its financial po si­
tion for the year then ended, in conformity with both ge ne r­
ally accepted accounting principles and the accounting pr in­
ciples prescribed by the Comptroller General applied on a
basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Actions to Term inate Insured Status
Federal Deposit Insurance Act-S ection 8(a)
The Corporation has issued 42 term ination of
insurance orders since January 1971; nine were
issued in 1979. In each case, the bank was
found to be in unsafe or unsound condition.
A number of other term ination of insurance
actions have been recommended but w ith ­
drawn because of corrective action by the bank
involved. As in the case of cease-and-desist
actions, the threat of term ination of insurance
has caused many of the banks to take affirm a­
tive steps to correct deficiencies, thus e lim inat­
ing the need for final action.

Cease-and-Desist Actions
Federal Deposit Insurance Act-Section 8(b)
The Corporation has issued 189 cease-anddesist orders since January 1971, including 52
in 1979. In addition, 24 tem porary cease-anddesist orders were issued in that period, includ­
ing six in 1979. In each case, the bank was
ordered to cease and desist from unsafe or
unsound practices and to take affirm ative
action to correct conditions. Several such
actions are now in various stages of processing.
Also, a number of other cease-and-desist
proceedings were term inated when the banks
involved, in response to a threatened ceaseand-desist order, took affirm ative steps to cor­
rect the problems.
In six other cases, tw o in 1979, formal w rit­
ten agreements between banks and the Cor­
poration were ratified by the FDIC Board of
Directors. Noncompliance w ith these formal
w ritte n agreements can result in a cease-anddesist action.

REGULATIONS AND LEGISLATION




PART FOUR




131

LEGISLATION—1979
Financial Privacy Notification Re­
peal. Public Law96-3, approved March
7,1 979, repealed the notice require*
ment contained under section 1 104(d)
of the Right to Financial Privacy Act
which would have become effective
on March 10, 1979, and would have
required all creditor and financial
institutions to notify their cus­
tomers of the rights under this Act.
Insurance of Foreign Bank Branches.
Public Law96-64, approved September
14, 1 979 , amended the In te r­
national Banking Act of 1978 (Public
Law95-369)to permit existing branches
of foreign banks which have applied
for Federal deposit insurance by Sep­
tember 1 7, 1979, and have not had
their application denied, to continue
deposit retail operations until Jan­
uary 31,1 980.
Automatic Transfer Accounts-State
Usury Laws. Public Law 96-161,
approved December 28, 1979, ex­
tended for 90 days (until March 31,
1980) the authority for banks to
offer automatic transfers from sav­
ings to checking accounts, for sav­
ings and loan associations to oper­
ate remote service units, and for
credit unions to offer share draft
accounts. This legislation also ex­
empted agricultural and business
loans of $25,000 or more from State
usury limitations. This exemption ex­
pires on March 31, 1980 for those
States that have statutory usury pro­
visions and on July 1, 1981 for
those States having constitutional
usury restrictions. Any State could
reinstate its own usury ceilings by
taking affirmative action to that ef­
fect. Finally, Public Law96-161 auth­
orized interest-bearing negotiable order
of withdrawal (NOW) accounts for
the State of New Jersey.
RULES AND REGULATIONS-1979
Change in Bank Control (Part 303)
On January 24, 1979, the FDIC
adopted revisions to sections 303.1 1



and 303.15 of its regulations to
implement the Change in Bank Con­
trol Act of 1978. The Act requires
any person seeking to acquire con­
trol of an insured bank to file 60
days' advance notice with the appro­
priate Federal banking agency. In
addition, the Act describes the fac­
tors that the FDIC and other Federal
banking agencies are to consider in
determining whether a transaction
covered by the Act should be dis­
approved.
Disclosure of Trust Department As­
set Reports (Part 309). On October
22, 1979, the FDIC approved an
amendment to Part 309 of its regu­
lations to permit routine public dis­
closure on a request basis of Trust
Department Annual Reports cur­
rently filed with the FDIC by insured
State nonmember banks.
Interest Rate Regulations (Part 329).
Effective March 1 5, 1979, the FDIC
amended Part 329 of its regulations
to prohibitthe compounding of inter­
est by insured State nonmember
banks on money market certificates
of $10,000 or more. The ban ap­
plies to certificates with maturities
of 26 weeks that have their interest
rate ceiling keyed to the average
auction discount rate on the most
recently issued 6-month UnitedStates Treasury bills. The amended
Part 329 also requires that adver­
tisements by insured nonmember
banks offering such certificates con­
tain a statement that Federal reg­
ulations prohibit compounding of inter­
est during the term of deposit.
In addition, the amendment re­
duced the interest rate differential
normally available to mutual savings
banks on these instruments. This
reduction applies when the average
auction discount rate is greaterthan
8-% percent and the differential is
eliminated when the average auc­
tion rate is 9 percent or greater.
Part 329 wasfurtheramended on July
1, 1 979, in response to the problem
of the relatively low return small

132

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

savers were receiving under the exist­
ing interest rate structure. The maxi­
mum rate of interest on passbook
savings accounts was increased 1 /4
of one percent for both commercial
banks (to 5 V a percent) and thrift
institutions (to 5 Vi percent). A new
deposit category was established
for time deposits with maturities of 4
years or more. The rate ceiling on
these deposits was based on the
yield for 4-year government securi­
ties as determined each month by
theTreasury Department. Also, insti­
tutions were authorized to set their
own minimums for consumer-type
time deposits, except for the $ 10,000
minimum required for money mar­
ket certificates. And finally, early
withdrawal penalties in all deposit
categories were established for new
certificates issued or renewed after
July 1.
In conjunction with the above changes,
the FDIC issued a statement of pol­
icy clarifying the authority of banks to
accept deposits that have been
pooled by depositors to reach a min­
imum denomination requirement, but
prohibiting institutions from solicit­
ing, advertising or promoting pooled
deposits in any way.
Part 329 also was amended to
provide for the waiver of penalties for
early withdrawal of a time deposit in
the event a depositor dies or is de­
clared mentally incompetent. In addi­
tion, the new withdrawal penalties
which became effective on July 1
were extended to all time deposits,
irrespective of date. The ceiling rate
of interest payable on time deposits
with maturities of between 30 and
89 days was increased from 5 per­
cent to 5 1/4 percent, making it equal
to the rate available on passbook
savings accounts. Also, repurchase
agreements (RPs) of less than $ 100,000
with maturities of 90 days or more
were made subject to interest rate
ceilings. To prevent undue hardship,
a 3-year phaseout period was pro­
vided. During this period, banks are



permitted to continue issuing such
RPs without regard to interest rate
ceilings so long as the total amount
outstanding does not exceed the
amount outstanding on August 1,
1979. This amendment took effect
on July 30, 1979.
Effective January 1,1 980, the FDIC
amended its regulations pertaining
to time deposits. Pursuant to these
revisions the existing 4-year floatingrate time deposit was replaced by a
new floating-rate certificate with a
maturity of 2Vi years and a rate tied
to the yield on Treasury securities
maturing in 2 1/2years. For thrift insti­
tutions, the ceiling rate is 50 basis
points below the 2Vi year Treasury
rate while for banks the ceiling rate
is 75 basis points below the Treas­
ury rate. There are no minimum de­
p o s it re q u ire m e n ts and c o m ­
pounding of interest is permitted.
Another change increased by 1/ 4
of a percentage point the ceiling on
deposits maturing in 90 days to 1
year. The final amendment autho­
rized banks to pay the same rate as
thrifts when IRA/Keogh and govern­
mental unit funds are deposited in
the new 2Vi year or more certifi­
cates. Banks also may pay the same
rate as thrifts on IRA/Keogh and govern­
mental unit deposits of $ 10,000 or
more placed in 26-week money mar­
ket certificates regardless of the
level of the Treasury bill rate.
Recordkeeping and Confirmation
Requirements for Securities Trans­
act ions (Part 344). The FDIC
adopted, effective January 1, 1980,
new rules establishing uniform stand­
ards for bank recordkeeping, con­
firmation, and other procedures in
making securities transactions for
trust departments and other bank
customers. This action was taken
after a study by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on banksecurities activities and responds to cer­
tain recommendations in the SEC
report. The final rules were adopted
follow ing consideration of com ­

RULES AND REGULATIONS

ments received on proposals pub­
lished in January 1978 and revised
proposals published in November.
The final rules were substantially
unchanged from the November pro­
posals.
International Banking Act of 1978
(Part 346). On June 28, 1979, the
FDIC issued final regulations imple­
menting section 6 of the Interna­
tional Banking Act of 1978. These
regulations provide for Federal de­
posit insurance coverage of United
States branches of foreign banks
and, in some cases, require insur­
ance. Section 6 also amends the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act to
establish special requirements for
branches that are insured by the
FDIC.
Foreign Activities of Insured State
Nonmember Banks(Part 347) Effective
May 30,1979, the FDIC adopted new
regulations implementing theforeign
banking requirements in FIRIRCA.
Under the new regulations, any in­
sured State nonmember bank must
obtain the consent of the FDIC be­
fore establishing its first branch in a
foreign country or before acquiring
any ownership interest in a foreign
bank or other foreign financial en­
tity. The bank must provide 30 days'
notice to the FDIC concerning its
intent to relocate an existing foreign
branch or to increase the number of
foreign branches in a country where
it has an authorized foreign branch.
The FDIC also must be notified
when a foreign branch is closed. In
addition, the regulations require banks
to maintain a system of records,
controls, and reports on their for­
eign activities.
Management Official Interlocks (Part
348). The Depository Institution Man­
agement Interlocks Act was enacted
as Title II of FIRIRCA. The general
purpose of the Interlocks Act and
this Part is to foster competition
among depository institutions.
Tothisend.a management official
of a depository institution (bank.



133

savings and loan association, mut­
ual savings bank or credit union) or
depository holding company is gen­
erally prohibited from also serving
as a management official of another
depository institution or depository

zations: (1) are not affiliated and (2)
are very large or are located in the
same local area. The regulations
provide for specific exemptions from
the above prohibitions, but prior
FDIC approval is required.
Correspondent Accounts and Dis­
closure of Material Facts (Part 349
and 304). On March 10, 1979, Title
VIII (Correspondent Accounts) and
Title IX (D isclosure of M aterial
Facts) of FIRIRCA became effective.
Title IX contains provisions that
specify what information must be
reported by insured banks to the
Federal banking agencies regarding
loans by the bank to its own execu­
tive officers and principal share­
holders (but not directors) under
Title I of FIRIRCA. Title I and Federal
Reserve Board Regulation 0, which
implements it, are applicable to in­
sured State nonmember banks in
the same manner and to the same
extent as if they were State member
banks. Under Title IX, insured State
nonmember banks will report to the
FDIC. The FDIC has promulgated
section 304.4 of Part 304 to imple­
ment the reporting requirements of
Title IX.
Title VIII, in part, prohibits prefer­
ential loans to executive officers and
principal shareholders of a bank
from its correspondent banks, and
requires such persons to report to
their bank's board of directors on
their indebtedness (and indebted­
ness of their related interests) to the
bank's correspondent banks. The FDIC
has promulgated Part 349 to imple­
ment the reporting requirements (not
the prohibitions) of Title VIII. Both
sections 304.4 and Part 349 took
effect on December 31, 1979.
The FDIC, in conjunction with the

134

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and the Comptroller
of the Currency, has developed two
forms for use by executive officers,
principal shareholders and banks in
complying with the reporting require­
ments of Titles VIII and IX of FIRIRCA.
Form FFIEC 004 (Report on Indebted­
ness of Executive Officers and Prin­
cipal Shareholders and Their Re­
lated Interests to Correspondent Banks)
is a recommended form for use by
executive officers and principal share­
holders to report to the board of
directors of their bank on their indebt­
edness (and that of their related
interests) to correspondent banks,
as required by Title VIII and Part 349
of FDIC's regulations. FFIEC 004 (or
a similar form) is to be submitted by
executive officers and principal share­
holders to their banks by January
31, of each year.
Each executive officer and princi­
pal shareholder (reporting persons)
filing FFIEC 004 must indicate on
the form the name of the reporting
person, the name of the bank to
which the report is submitted, and
the name and address of the corres­
pondent bank to which the person or
related interest is indebted.
Form FFIEC 003 (Report on Owner­
ship of the Reporting Bank and on
Indebtedness of its Executive Offi­
cers and Principal Shareholders to
the Reporting Bank and to its Cor­
respondent Banks) is the form re­
quired by Title IX and section 304.4
of Part 304 of the FDIC's regulations
for use by insured State nonmember
banks in reporting to FDIC on the
aggregate direct indebted ness of exe­
cutive officers, principal share­
holders and their related interests to
the bank under Title I of FIRIRCA, as
required by Title IX. FFIEC 003 also
is used by the banks to report to
FDIC on the aggregate indebtedness
of these persons and their related
interests to correspondent banks as
reported under Title VIII. A consoli­
dated form has been adopted so that



a bank need file only one form with
FDIC in order to comply with the
reporting requirements of both Titles
VIII and IX. The law requires that this
information be made publicly avail­
able by the banks and by the FDIC.
Limits on Loans to Executive Offi­
cers, Directors and Principal Shareholders (Regulation 0). Section 22(h),
relating to limits on loans to execu­
tive officers, directors, and principal
shareholders of member banks, was
added to the Federal Reserve Act by
FIRIRCA, which further provides that
the provisions of section 22(h) are
applicable to nonmember insured
banks as well as to State member
banks.
Section 22(h) limits loans to exe­
cutive officers, principal share­
holders and their related interests to
10 percent of the bank's capital and
unimpaired surplus and prohibits
the payment of an overdraft of an
executive officer or director. It also
requires that every extension of credit
by a bank to any of its executive
officers, directors, or principal share­
holders and their related interests
be made on "substantially the same
terms" as "comparable transactions
with other persons." In addition, a
majority of the entire board of direc­
tors of the bank must approve in
advance an extension of credit to
any of the above persons which
exceeds $25,000.
Proposals to Simplify FDIC Rules
and Regulations. The FDIC policy
statement on regulations provides
for the review every 5 years of each
existing regulation to determine if it
should be continued, revised or elimi­
nated. The first review is well under­
way. During 1979, the majority of
the Corporation's existing regula­
tions and one proposed regulation
were reviewed. To date, 11 specific
actions have been taken: six regula­
tions (Parts 301, 302, 305, 306,
325and 334) were eliminated. Aseventh,
(Part 337) was substantially re­
duced by elimination of the insider

RULES AND REGULATIONS

transaction provisions. A proposed
regulation (Part 340, relating to offer­
ing circular requirements for the
public issuance of bank securities)
was withdrawn and replaced by a
substantially simplified policy state­




135

ment; and proposals recommending
the reduction or simplification of
three other regulations were issued.
Additional proposals to simplify and
reduce other regulations currently
are being drafted.

C om m ercial banks
Insured banks having total resources of $25 million or more are required
to report on the basis of accrual accounting. W here the results would not be
significantly different, at the option of the bank, trust department accounts
and certain other accounts may be reported on a cash basis. All banks,
regardless of size or accounting system, are required to report unearned
income on loans in the Report of Condition, Schedule A (loans). All banks,
regardless of size or accounting system, are required to report income taxes
on a current basis. The income taxes must be computed on the amount of
income and expense included in the Report of Income.
Each insured bank having foreign offices is required to submit a
consolidated report including these offices; however, except for table 110
tables on pages 161 -185 contain only the domestic assets and liabilities of




banks. Beginning in 1 969, all majority-owned bank premises subsidiaries
are fully consolidated; other m ajority-owned domestic subsidiaries (but not
commercial bank subsidiaries) are consolidated if they meet any of the
follow ing criteria: (a) any subsidiary in which the parent bank's investment
represents 5 percent or more of its equity capital accounts, (b) any subsidiary
whose gross operating revenues amount to 5 percent of the parent bank's
gross operating revenues, or (c) (beginning in December 1972) any
subsidiary whose "Incom e (loss) before income taxes and securities gains or
losses'' amounts to 5 percent or more of the "incom e (loss) before income
taxes and securities gains or losses” of the parent bank. Beginning in 1 972,
investments in subsidiaries not consolidated in which the bank directly or
indirectly exercises effective control are reported on an equity (rather than
cost) basis w ith the investment and undivided profits adjusted to include the

bearing demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury.
Asset and liability data for noninsured banks are tabulated from reports
pertaining to the individual banks. In a few cases, these reports are not as
detailed as those submitted by insured banks.
Additional data on assets and liabilities of all banks as of December 31,
1977, and June 30, 1978, are shown in the Corporation's semiannual
publication Assets and Liabilities—Commercial and Mutual Savings Banks.
M utual savings banks
The Reports of Income and Condition were significantly revised in 1 979.
The intent of the revisions was to provide more meaningful information
concerning the operations and condition of the mutual institutions as well as
to bring reporting by such institutions into closer conformance to accounting
principles.
Report of Income
In addition to obtaining more detail concerning operating income and
expenses, the reporting form at and instructions were changed to reflect
interest and dividends paid or accrued as an operating expense. Gains and
losses on mortgage loans, real estate and other transactions are included in
other operating income or other operating expenses rather than being
separately stated. Income taxes are reflected separately on operating
income, securities transactions and extraordinary items. The reporting of the
provision for possible loan losses requires an expense based on manage­
ment discretion rather than an expense reflecting net loan losses.
Report o f C ondition
Significant changes to this form include the separate reporting and deduc­
tion of a valuation reserve against real estate loans and other loans. Deposit
categories were changed to reflect industry practice. A Memoranda sche­
dule and a Supplemental Schedule H were added to provide information
concerning the market value of bond and equity investments, selected asset
and liability average figures, and past due and non-accrual real estate loans.
M aturity distributions of security investments, time deposits and borrowed
funds were incorporated into the report.
Foreign assets o f banks
Since June 30, 1 974, a consolidated statement of domestic and foreign
assets and liabilities of U.S. banks has been published sem iannually by the
Corporation in Assets and Liabilities—Commercial and Mutual Savings
Banks. (Beginning w ith June 30, 1 977, foreign office assets and liabilities
itemized by State are published in Assets and Liabilities—Commercial and
Mutual Savings Banks.) In December 1978, a revised fully consolidated
domestic and foreign Report of Condition was instituted.
Sources o f data
Insured banks: seep, 187; noninsured banks: State banking authorities and
and reports from individual banks.

parent's share of the subsidiaries' net worth.
In the case of insured banks w ith branches outside the 50 States and D.C.,
net amounts due from such branches are included in "O ther assets” and net
amounts due to such branches are included in "O ther liabilities.” Branches
of insured banks outside the 50 States and D. C. are not included in the count
of banks. Data for such branches are not included in the figures for the
States in which the parent banks are located.
From 1 9 6 9 through 1 975, all reserves on loans and securities, including
the reserves for bad debts set up pursuant to Internal Revenue Service
rulings, were included in "Reserves on loans and securities" on the liability
side of the balance sheet. Beginning in 1 976, the IRS reserve is divided as
follows: (a) the "va lu a tio n " portion of the reserve (plus any other loan loss
reserve) is shown on the asset side of the face of the report as an offset to
total loans; (b) the "deferred income ta x" portion is included in "other
liabilities"; and (c) the "contingency" portion is included in "undivided
profits,” or "reserves for contingencies and other capital reserves" (prefera­
bly the former). The valuation reserve on securities, formerly shown on the
liabilities side, is included in "reserve for contingencies and other capital
reserves” beginning in 1 976.
"Unearned income on loans," previously reported in "other liabilities,” is
reported separately as an exclusion from gross loans and total assets begin­
ning March 3 1 ,1 976.
Beginning March 31, 1979, "deposits accumulated for the payment of
personal loans" was elim inated from deposits. Such "deposits" are required
to be deducted from the appropriate loan category before completion of
Report of Condition Schedule A (loans).
The category "Trading account securities" was added to the condition
report of commercial banks in 1 9 6 9 to obtain this segregation for banks that
regularly deal in securities w ith other banks or w ith the public. Banks
occasionally holding securities purchased for possible resale report these
under "Investm ent securities."
Assets and liabilities held in or adm inistered by a savings, bond, insur­
ance, real estate, foreign, or any other departm ent of a bank, except a trust
department, are consolidated w ith the respective assets and liabilities of the
commercial department. "Deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corpo­
rations" include trust funds deposited by a trust department in a commercial
or savings department. Other assets held in trust are not included in state­
ments of assets and liabilities.
Demand balances w ith, and demand deposits due to, banks in the United
States, except private banks and American branches of foreign banks,
exclude reciprocal interbank deposits. (Reciprocal interbank deposits arise
when tw o banks maintain deposit accounts w ith each other.)
In 1976, the caption "Capital notes and debentures” was changed to
"subordinated notes and debentures," to be shown in the liabilities section
of the Report of Condition. Accordingly, "capital accounts" became the
"equity capital" section.
In 1 9 7 8 an abbreviated Report of Condition was instituted for banks w ith
less than $ 1 0 0 m illion in total consolidated assets. Beginning w ith
1978, other liabilities for borrowed money include interestDecember

Includes asset and liability domestic figures for branches of foreign banks (tabulated as banks) licensed to do a deposit business. Capital
2 is not allocated to these branches by the parent banks.
Amounts shown as deposits are special accounts and univested trust funds, with the latter classified as demand deposits of individuals
3 partnerships, and corporations.
Only asset and liability data are included for branches located in “ other areas” of banks headquartered in one of the 50 States; because
no capital is allocated to these branches, they are excluded from the computation of ratios of equity capital to assets.
Data for domestic branches of foreign banks referred to in footnote 1 have been excluded in computing this ratio for noninsured banks of
deposit.
Note: Further information on the reports of assets and liabilities of banks may be found on pp. 159-160.

The income data received and published by the Corporation relate to
commercial and mutual savings banks insured by the Corporation.
Com m ercial banks
Banks having total assets of $25 m illion or more are required to report
consolidated income accounts on an accrual basis. Where the results would
not be significantly different, certain accounts may be reported on a cash
basis. Smaller banks continue to have the option of submitting their reports
on a cash or an accrual basis, except that unearned income on loans and
income taxes must be reported on a current accrual basis.
Prior to 1 976, insured banks were required to submit a consolidated Report
of Income, including all majority-owned domestic premises subsidiaries and




other nonbank subsidiaries that were significant according to certain tests.
Beginning in 1976, the consolidated income report must also include all
majority-owned Edge all majority-owned significant forand Agreement
Corporations, and eign subsidiaries and associated companies.
Banks were required to report income and expenses more frequently
beginning in 1 976. Banks having total assets of $3 0 0 m illion or more submit
quarterly statements and other insured banks submit semiannual reports. In
this report, income data are included for all insured banks operating at the end
of the respective years, unless indicated otherwise. In addition, when
appropriate, adjustments have been made for banks in operation during part
of the year but not at the end of the year.
Several changes were made in 1 976 in the format of the income reports

OF INSURED

M utual savings banks
For a discussion of the report of income and expenses for mutual savings
banks prior to 1971, see the 1951 Annual Report, pp. 50-52.
Beginning December 31, 1971, income and expenses for mutual savings
banks are reported on a consolidated basis in the same manner as required of
commercial banks, including all domestic branches, domestic bank premises
s u b s id ia rie s , and o th e r s ig n ific a n t n o n b a n kin g d o m e stic s u b ­
sidiaries.
Beginning in 1 972, banks w ith total resources of $25 million or more are
required to prepare their reports on the basis of accrual accounting. All banks

are required to report income taxes on an accrual basis.
Under operating income, certain income from securities formerly in the
"o th e r" category are shown separately beginning in 1 971. Income from U.S.
Treasury securities is combined w ith income from U.S. Government agency
and corporation securities. Somewhat fewer items are detailed under operat­
ing expenses. Beginning in 1971, actual net loan losses (charge-offs less
recoveries) are included as an expense item in the operating section of the
report (see discussion below). In 1 97 0 and prior years (table 1 20), the
amounts shown for this expense item were "recoveries credited to valuation
adjustment provisions on real estate mortgage loans" less the "realized
losses charged to valuation adjustment provisions on [these] loans," which
were reported in those years in the memoranda section. Beginning in 1 979,
the amount to be expensed as a provision is based on management discretion
and is expected to be reflective of the adequacy of the existing valuation
reserve and the current condition of the loan portfolio.
The nonoperating sections of the report were condensed in 1971, with
realized gains and losses on securities, mortgage loans, and real estate
reported "n e t" rather than in separate sections and captions as before. In
1 979, these items were no longer required to be reported separately. They
are to be included in with other operating income or other operating
expenses. Detailed data formerly reported on reconcilement of valuation
adjustment provisions were almost entirely eliminated, except for a reconcili­
ation of surplus. For additional discussion of reporting changes in 1 979, (see
p. 160).

INCOME

submitted by banks, mainly involving additional separate items on the face of
the report. Those changes are indicated in several historical data tables, with
explanatory notes where necessary.
In 1976, the method used for determining "provision for possible loan
losses” was changed significantly. Also, beginning in 1976, "memoranda”
data in table 115 and elsewhere on charge-offs and recoveries to loan loss
reserves include also the gross charge-offs and recoveries on loans by banks
not on a reserve basis of accounting (see p. 1 88).
In December 19 78 an abbreviated Report of Income was instituted for
banks w ith total consolidated assets of less than $ 100 million.
"Applicable income taxes” on income before securities gains or losses is
an estimate of the tax liability that a bank would incur if its taxes were based
solely on operating income and expenses; that is, if there were no security
gains or losses, no extraordinary items, etc. The amount reported by each
bank consists of Federal, State and local, and foreign income taxes, estimated
using the tax rates applicable to the reporting bank. Income taxes currently
payable, and deferred income taxes, are included.
The memoranda item "total provision for income taxes" includes applicable
taxes on operating income, securities gains and losses and extraordinary
items, and deferred income taxes resulting from "tim in g” differences. For
banks generally the transfers to reserve for bad debts have exceeded the
provision for loan losses and consequently have tended to reduce tax liability.
(Since enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1969, additions to loan loss
reserves for Federal tax purposes have been subject to a schedule of
lim itations that w ill eventually put these reserves on a current experience
basis.)

C O R P O R ATIO N

M utual savings banks
W hile mutual savings banks reported loan losses and transfers to loss
reserves prior to 1 951, the Corporation's published statistics did not show
these data separately, as was the case also for recoveries and transfers from
reserves. When the reporting form was revised extensively in 1 951, these
various nonoperating expenses were itemized, and a memoranda section
was added to show also the losses and recoveries in reserve accounts.
"Realized” losses (and recoveries)for which no provision had been made, and
transfers were included in the nonoperating expense (income) section, while
direct write-downs and other loan losses for which provision had been made,
were reported separately in a memoranda account.
Following 1951, the loan loss section of the reports of condition and
income and expense remained unchanged until 1971. Beginning in 1971,
the income report was revised in a manner similar to changes in 1969
applicable to commercial banks, to show actual net loan losses as operating
expenses. (Mutual savings banks did not have the option available to
commercial banks of reporting losses based on recent years' average
experience.) At the same time, all valuation reserves were merged into
surplus accounts on statements of condition submitted to the Federal
supervisory agencies. In 1979, loan loss reporting was again revised in a
manner consistent w ith reporting by commercial banks. The provision
expense is determined by bank management. The valuation reserves on real
estate loans and other loans are shown as separate deductions to the asset
categories on the Report of Condition.

which in the judgment of bank management w ill maintain an adequate
reserve, and to provide a fully reviewable record for bank examination
purposes of the basis for the determination of the loan-loss provision.
Also beginning in 1 976, banks not on a reserve basis report gross chargeoffs and recoveries; the difference— net losses— is reported as the “ provision
for loan losses” in operating expenses. Banks continue to report all transfers
to and from reserves in the memoranda section of the income statement, but
this detailed information is not included in the tables to follow.

loss transfers to be permitted for Federal tax purposes. In their reports
submitted to the Federal bank supervisory agencies prior to 1 948, insured
commercial banks included in nonoperating income the amounts of recover­
ies on loans (applicable to prior charge-offs for losses) which included, for
banks using the reserve method, transfers from loan loss reserves. Direct
charge-offs and losses on loans, and transfers to reserves were included
together in nonoperating expenses. Banks using the reserve method were
not required to report separately their actual losses, that is, charges against
loan loss reserves. (In statements of condition prior to 1 948, insured banks
reported loans on a net basis only, after allowance for loan loss reserves.
Beginning w ith the June 30, 1 9 48 report, banks were required to report
gross loans, w ith total valuation reserves, those set up pursuant to Internal
Revenue Service regulations, and other reserves shown separately. How­
ever, instalment loans ordinarily continued to be reported net if the instal­
ment payments were applied directly to the reduction of the loan.)
Beginning w ith the year 1 948, the income reports were revised to show
separately, in a memoranda section, the losses charged to reserves. These
items continued to be combined in the nonoperating expense section until
1961. Recoveries credited to reserves were also itemized in the memoranda
section beginning in 1948, as were the amounts transferred to and from
reserves during the year. Each of these debits and credits was segregated as
to reserves set up pursuant to IRS regulations, and other reserves. Losses and
recoveries, and transfers to and from reserves, but not the specific tax-related
transfers, were separately reported in the Corporation's published statistics.
Several important revisions were made in the form at of the income reports
of commercial banks in 1969. A new entry entitled "provisions for loan
losses” was included under operating expenses. This item included actual
loan losses (charge-offs less recoveries) during the year or, at the option of the
bank, an amount derived by applying the average loan loss percentage for the
five most recent years to the average amount of loans during the current year.
Banks had the option also of providing a larger amount in any year than the
amount indicated by the formula. Beginning in 1976, required use of the
formulas was discontinued. Banks are instructed to expense an amount

Noninsured bank failures

Disbursements by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to protect
depositors are made when the insured deposits of banks in financial
difficulties are paid off, or w hen the deposits of a failing bank are assumed
by another insured bank w ith the financial aid of the Corporation. In deposit
payoff cases, the disbursement is the am ount paid by the Corporation on
insured deposits. In deposit assumption cases, the principal disbursement
is the am ount loaned to failing banks, or the price paid for assets purchased
from them; additional disbursements are made in those cases as advances
for protection of assets in process of liquidation and for liquidation
expenses.
Under its section 13(c) authority, the Corporation has made disburse­
ments to four operating banks. The am ounts of these disbursements are
included in table 126, but are not included in tables 124 and 125.

Statistics in this report on failures of noninsured banks are compiled from
inform ation obtained from State banking departments, field supervisory
officials, and other sources. The Corporation received no reports of
noninsured bank closures due to financial difficulties in 1979.
For detailed data regarding noninsured banks that suspended in the years
1934-1962, see the Annual Report for 1963, pp. 27-41. For 1963-1979, see
table 122 of this report, and previous reports for respective years.

1For the period from 1950 to 1979, inclusive, figures are net after deducting the portion of net assessment income credited to insured
banks pursuant to provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950, as amended. Assessment credits to insured banks for these
-years amount to $5,817 million.
Includes $36 m illion of interest and allowable return received on funds advanced to receivership and deposit assumption cases and $85
.m illio n of interest on capital notes advanced to facilitate deposit assumption transactions and assistance to open banks.

.Treasury in 1947 and 1948.
Assessments collected from members of the temporary insurance funds which became insured under the permanent plan were credited
to their accounts at the termination of the tem porary funds and were applied toward payment of subsequent assessments becoming due
under the permanent insurance fund, resulting in no income to the Corporation from assessments during the existence of the temporary
.insurance funds.
^Includes net loss on sales of U.S. Government securities of $105.6 million in 1976 and $3.6 million in 1978.
Net after deducting the portion of expenses and losses charged to banks withdrawing from the temporary insurance funds on June 30,
