These reports are filed with the member bank's board of directors by January 31 of each year. The 1985 report covers the period January 1 to December 31, 1985. Each member bank should notify its executive officers and principal shareholders of the reporting requirements of Title VIII of FIRA. The persons notified should include any person who was an executive officer or principal shareholder of the member bank during the period January 1 to December 31, 1985, since all of these persons are subject to reporting requirements if they were indebted to a correspondent bank of the member bank during this period.

Persons Required to File Report A Report on Indebtedness to Correspondent Banks (Form FFIEC 004), or a similar form containing identical inform ation, must be completed by each executive officer and each principal shareholder of an insured bank who was indebted, or whose related interests were indebted, during the calendar year for which the report is being submitted to a correspondent bank of their bank. A ll insured banks are required by law to make available to their executive officers and principal shareholders a list of the bank's correspondent banks. "Correspondent bank" means generally a bank that maintains a correspondent account in excess of a certain amount fo r the officer's or shareholder's bank. The executive officer or principal shareholder must file a separate report concerning the indebtedness o f the officer or shareholder to each correspondent bank and a separate report concerning the indebtedness of each of the related interests of the officer or shareholder to each correspondent bank. For example, if an executive officer is indebted to tw o correspondent banks, the officer must file tw o reports, one fo r each correspondent bank. If the executive officer has two related interests that were also both indebted to tw o correspondent banks, the officer would file six reports, tw o for the officer's own indebtedness and four fo r the indebtedness of the officer's related interests. If the executive officer is not indebted to a correspondent bank, but a related interest of the officer is indebted to a correspondent bank, the executive officer must file a report concerning the indebtedness of the officer's related interest to the correspondent bank. 2. Where and When Reports are to be Filed The executive officer or principal shareholder must submit the report on indebtedness to correspondent banks to the board of directors of the reporting person's bank for each calendar year by January 31 of the next vear. 3. What Must be Reported The reporting person must include in each report on indebtedness to each correspondent bank: (a) the maximum amount o f indebtedness outstanding during the calendar year, and (b) the terms and conditions of each extension o f credit included in the maximum amount reported. The terms and conditions to be reported are: (1) the original amount and date; (2) the m aturity date; (3) the payment terms; (4) the range of interest rates charged during the calendar year; (5) whether secured or unsecured; (6) if secured, a description of collateral and its value; and (7) any unusual terms or conditions. In determining the maximum amount of indebtedness of a principal shareholder, the indebtedness of a member of the shareholder's immediate fam ily is to be treated as indebtedness o f the principal shareholder. Each maximum amount of indebtedness reported may include several separate extensions of credit. The reporting person must report separately the terms and conditions of each of these extensions of credit. Each report on indebtedness to each correspondent bank must also include the amount of indebtedness outstanding to the correspondent bank 10 business days before the date the report on indebtedness is filed. If the inform ation on the amount of indebtedness outstanding to a correspondent bank 10 business days before the filing of the report is not available or cannot be readily ascertained by the filin g date, an estimate o f the amount of such indebtedness may be filed, provided that the actual amount of such indebtedness is submitted to the bank's board of directors w ithin the next 30 days. 4. Definitions The follow ing definitions are intended to provide general guidance in completing this report. For precise definitions, see the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation O (12 CFR Part 215) and Part 349 o f the FDIC's Rules and Regulations (12 CFR Part 349). a. "Executive o ffic e r" is defined in section 215.2 of Regulation O and means generally an individual who participates or who has authority to participate (other than in the capacity o f a director) in major policymaking functions o f the bank. Certain categories of bank officers (e.g., vice presidents) are presumed in Regulation O to be executive officers unless they are excluded by resolution o f the board of directors o f the bank or by its bylaws from participation in major policymaking functions of the bank and do not participate therein. b. "Principal Shareholder" means any individual or company (other than an insured bank or a foreign bank) that, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, or has the power to vote more than 10 per cent of any class o f voting securities of the bank. The term includes a person that controls a principal shareholder (e.g., a person that controls a bank holding company). For the purpose of determining who is a principal shareholder, shares owned or controlled by a member of the individual's immediate fam ily are presumed to be controlled by the individual. "Immediate fa m ily " means the spouse of an individual, the individual's minor children, and any of the individual's children (including adults) residing in the individual's home. For reporting purposes, only one individual in the immediate fam ily must file reports, if that individual's reports include the inform ation on indebtedness of the individual's immediate fam ily. c. Control of a company is defined in section 215.2(b) of Regulation O as generally ownership or control of 25 per cent or more of a company's outstanding voting shares. However, the regulation presumes control in some cases where less than 25 per cent ownership or control exists. d. "Related interest" means any company controlled by a person and any political or campaign committee, the funds or services of which w ill benefit a person or that is controlled by a person. However, a related interest does not include a bank or a foreign bank. e. "Indebtedness" includes any extension of credit (as defined in section 215.3 of Regulation O), but does n o t include: i. commercial paper, bonds and debentures issued in the ordinary course of business; and ii. consumer credit (as defined in section 226.2 of Regulation Z) in an aggregate amount of $5,000, or less, from each corres pondent bank, provided the credit is incurred under terms that are not more favorable than those offered the general public. f. "M aximum amount of indebtedness" means, at the option of the reporting person, either (i) the highest outstanding indebtedness during the calendar year fo r which the report is made, or (ii) the highest end of the month indebtedness outstanding during the calendar year fo r which the report is made. The method chosen should be consistently used for all indebtedness to the same correspondent bank. The reporting person must indicate on the report whether the maximum amount was determined as of the end of the month or on a daily basis. g. "Correspondent bank," "com pany," and other terms pertinent to this report are defined in the Board's Regulation O, 12 CFR Part 215 and Part 349 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Rules and Regulations, 12 CFR Part 349.
