Questions have recently been raised about the reporting
responsibilities of bank holding companies, described under
Section C (Filing of Reports) of the General Instructions to
the Treasury International Capital (TIC) reports and Section B
(Who Must Report) of the instructions to the Treasury Foreign
Currency (TFC) reports.
The purpose of this letter is to
clarify the instructions covering those reports.
Copies of
the forms are enclosed for your reference.
A bank holding company required to report on any of the
TIC or TFC forms listed below should submit a consolidated
report including data for itself and its domestic nonbanking
subsidiaries.
The data for the domestic subsidiaries of
domestic banks owned by the bank holding company should be
included with the data of the parent bank. An exception is
made in the case of an Edge or Agreement Corporation engaged
in banking.
As explained in the TIC and TFC General
Instructions, these subsidiaries should file separately with
the Federal Reserve Bank of the district in which the
subsidiary is located.
A domestic branch of an Edge or
Agreement Corporation engaged in banking should also file with
the Federal Reserve Bank of the district in which the branch
is located.
A report submitted by an Edge or Agreement
Corporation should include data for all of its domestic
subsidiaries.

WEEKLY CONSOLIDATED FOREIGN CURRENCY REPORT ON FOREIGN BRANCHES
AND SUBSIDIARIES OF UNITED STATES BANKS
Note: This report should be filed not later than 10 business days following the Wednesday to which the report applies.
PART I-GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A.

WHO MUST REPORT
All United States banks and banking institutions, including
bank holding companies, which have branches and majority-owned
subsidiaries located abroad which for their own account have
assets, liabilities, and positions in specified foreign currencies, as
defined in these instructions, are required to submit a consolidated
report on this form covering the reportable items o f all such
branches and subsidiaries. Bank holding companies which have
filed with the Board o f Governors of the Federal Reserve System
under Section 4(c)( 12) o f the Bank Holding Company Act, 12
U.S.C. 1843(c)(12), an irrevocable declaration that they will cease
to be a bank holding company, or have received an exemption
under Section 4(d) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. 1843(d), are not required
to file on this form, but should file instead on Forms FC-3 and
FC-4.
Reports must be filed with respect to foreign subsidiaries in
which the majority ownership is held by more than one United
States bank. In such cases, the reports should be filed by the
United States bank which holds the largest percentage of the
shares held by United States banks. If the United States banks
hold equal shares, the reports should be filed by one of the United
States banks by agreement among them.

C.

EXEMPTIONS
A foreign branch or subsidiary need not be included in the
weekly consolidated report on Form FC-2 if in each o f the
specified foreign currencies the dollar equivalent value of the
outstanding amounts of assets other than capital assets, liabilities
other than capital liabilities, exchange contracts bought, and
exchange contracts sold, each is less than $10 million.
If, however, the dollar equivalent value o f any of these
categories is $10 million or more in any specified foreign currency,
the entire line for each such currency must be reported with
respect to that foreign branch or subsidiary in the applicable
“Offices located in [country]” or “Offices located elsewhere”
line. In addition, the line for “United States dollars held or owed
by offices located outside the United States” must be reported
with respect to that foreign branch or subsidiary. Dollar equivalent
values, for purposes o f the exemption arc to be calculated using
the spot exchange rates prevailing as of close of business on the
day to which the report applies.
A foreign branch or subsidiary holding only a United States
dollar position and no reportable position in the specified foreign
currencies need not be included in the weekly consolidated report.

D.

FILING OF REPORTS
This report should be filed with the federal Reserve Bank of
your District not later than 10 business days following the
Wednesday to which the report applies. If Wednesday is not a
business day abroad for any of your reporting branches or
subsidiaries, the report should include reportable items for those
offices as o f the preceding business day.
F.ach bank or banking institution which is required to report
on Form I'C-2 as of any Wednesday in a month with respect to
any foreign branch or subsidiary is also required to report on the
monthly Form FC-2a as of the last business day o f the month with

METHOD OF REPORTING OPPOSITE FOREIGN COUNTRIES A N D INTERNATIONAL A N D REGIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS
In general, liabilities to, and claims on, "foreigners" should be reported opposite the foreign country or
geographical area in w hich the "foreigner" resides.
Liabilities to, and claims on, "foreigners" in territories, possessions and other nonm etropolitan areas o f a foreign
country should be reported opposite the geographical area in w hich the "foreigner" resides, and not opposite
the parent country. For example, liabilities to "foreigners" in the British W est Indies should be reported opposite
the British W est Indies and not opposite the United Kingdom.
Liabilities to, and claims on, foreign branches or agencies of a "foreign official institution" should be reported
opposite the country to w hich the "official institution" belongs if the branches are not them selves acting as
"official institutions" fo r the countries in w hich they are located. For example, a deposit held fo r the'Netherlands
Embassy in Santiago, Chile, should be reported opposite the Netherlands, and not opposite Chile. Also, liabilities
to, and claims on, a United States branch or agency of a "foreign official institution" should be reported opposite
the country to w hich the "official institution" belongs. (EXCEPTIONS: branches and agencies in the United
States of "foreign official banking institutions" shall be considered "d o m e stic" institutions.) Liabilities to, and
claims on, a "foreign official institution's" branch w hich is acting as an "official institution" fo r the country in
w hich it (the branch) is located, should be reported opposite that country, w hile liabilities to, and claims on, its
head office in another country should be reported opposite the country in w hich such head office is located.

4

Liabilities to, and claims on, foreign branches or agencies of foreign banks (excluding central banks) and other
private institutions should be reported opposite the country in which the foreign branch or agency is located. For
example, a deposit held fo r the Sydney, Australia, branch of the Com ptoir National d'Escom pte de Paris, S.A.,
should be reported opposite Australia, and not opposite France.
Liabilities to, and claims on, international and regional organizations, even though located in the United States,
should be reported opposite the classification "International," "European," "Latin Am erican," "Asian," "African,"
or "M iddle Eastern" regional, as appropriate. The regional classifications cover organizations w hich have a
regional center of interest. The "International" classification covers all other organizations of an international
character. EXCEPTIONS: the Bank for International Settlements, the European Fund, the International Bank for
Economic Cooperation and the International Investm ent Bank, M oscow fo r purposes of this report, should be
reported opposite the classification "O ther Europe."
Liabilities arising from balances known to be held by persons in the United States for the benefit of "foreigners"
should be reported opposite the countries in w hich the "foreigners" reside. Similarly, claims on persons in the
United States w ho are acting on behalf of "foreigners" should be reported opposite the countries in w hich the
"foreigners" reside.

H.

PARTICIPATION IN POOLS OF LOANS
In cases in w hich the instrum ent of participation bears term s (e.g., maturity, interest rate, etc.) that differ from
the term s of the loans, the individual loans remain on the books of the issuing bank and should continue to be
reported on Form BC if they are loans to "foreigners." The purchase of such participations in pools of loans
from "foreigners" is reportable on Form BC as a loan to the issuing foreign bank. Proceeds from the sale of
such participations to “ foreigners" are considered to be borrowings and should be reported on Form BL-1 by
the issuing bank.
In cases in w hich the participation is a pro-rata share of the pooled loans, a sale of the participation is
considered to be the sale o f the pooled loans them selves. If the loans sold are loans w hich have been made
to "foreigners" the sale reduces the amount of loans reportable on Form BC. Conversely, if you purchase such
participation in loans to "foreigners" the participation should be reported on Form BC.
