Notice 04-60

TO: The Chief Executive Officer of each
financial institution and others concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SUBJECT
Banking Agencies Announce 2005 Implementation for
Web-Based Central Data Repository for Bank Financial Data
DETAILS
The federal banking agencies have announced that they will target implementation of
the Central Data Repository (CDR) for one of the first two Call Report periods of 2005. A
specific date will be announced by the end of the year.
Originally scheduled for implementation in October 2004, the system’s start date was
postponed last month to address industry feedback and to allow more time for testing and
enrollment. The decision to delay implementation beyond 2004 was made to ensure that rollout
of the new system would not increase burden for those bankers with additional reporting
requirements at the end of the year.
The agencies and industry focus groups are currently evaluating the schedule and will
post detailed information and a new timeline on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council’s (FFIEC) web site, www.FFIEC.gov/FIND, later this year. In the meantime, banks
will continue filing their Call Report data in the same manner they do today, and the agencies
will continue to process Call Report data using their existing processing systems.
The agencies are currently considering Call Report changes that may be introduced in
2005. Information on any proposed revisions to the Call Report will be released separately from
the announcement of the updated schedule for the CDR.

For additional copies, bankers and others are encouraged to use one of the following toll-free numbers in contacting the Federal
Reserve Bank of Dallas: Dallas Office (800) 333-4460; El Paso Branch Intrastate (800) 592-1631, Interstate (800) 351-1012;
Houston Branch Intrastate (800) 392-4162, Interstate (800) 221-0363; San Antonio Branch Intrastate (800) 292-5810.

The CDR is an Internet-based system created to modernize and streamline how the
agencies collect, validate, and distribute financial data, or “Call Reports,” submitted by banks.
This initiative—the Call Report Modernization Project—is an interagency effort under the
auspices of the FFIEC. Additional project details and other important information are posted on
the FFIEC’s web site at www.FFIEC.gov/FIND.
