§ 1817. Assessments
(a) Reports of condition; access to reports
(1) Each insured State nonmember bank and
each foreign bank having an insured branch
which is not a Federal branch shall make to the
Corporation reports of condition which shall be
in such form and shall contain such information
as the Board of Directors may require. Such re-
ports shall be made to the Corporation on the
dates selected as provided in paragraph (3) of
this subsection and the deposit liabilities shall
be reported therein in accordance with and pur-
suant to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this sub-
section. The Board of Directors may call for ad-
ditional reports of condition on dates to be fixed
by it and may call for such other reports as the
Board may from time to time require. Any such
bank which (A) maintains procedures reasonably
adapted to avoid any inadvertent error and, un-
intentionally and as a result of such an error,
fails to make or publish any report required
under this paragraph, within the period of time
specified by the Corporation, or submits or pub-
lishes any false or misleading report or informa-
tion, or (B) inadvertently transmits or publishes
any report which is minimally late, shall be sub-
ject to a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each
day during which such failure continues or such
false or misleading information is not corrected.
Such bank shall have the burden of proving that
an error was inadvertent and that a report was
inadvertently transmitted or published late.
Any such bank which fails to make or publish
any report required under this paragraph, within
the period of time specified by the Corporation,
or submits or publishes any false or misleading
report or information, in a manner not described
in the 2nd preceding sentence shal

§ 1817. Assessments
(a) Reports of condition; access to reports
(1) Each insured State nonmember bank and
each foreign bank having an insured branch
which is not a Federal branch shall make to the
Corporation reports of condition which shall be
in such form and shall contain such information
as the Board of Directors may require. Such re-
ports shall be made to the Corporation on the
dates selected as provided in paragraph (3) of
this subsection and the deposit liabilities shall
be reported therein in accordance with and pur-
suant to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this sub-
section. The Board of Directors may call for ad-
ditional reports of condition on dates to be fixed
by it and may call for such other reports as the
Board may from time to time require. Any such
bank which (A) maintains procedures reasonably
adapted to avoid any inadvertent error and, un-
intentionally and as a result of such an error,
fails to make or publish any report required
under this paragraph, within the period of time
specified by the Corporation, or submits or pub-
lishes any false or misleading report or informa-
tion, or (B) inadvertently transmits or publishes
any report which is minimally late, shall be sub-
ject to a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each
day during which such failure continues or such
false or misleading information is not corrected.
Such bank shall have the burden of proving that
an error was inadvertent and that a report was
inadvertently transmitted or published late.
Any such bank which fails to make or publish
any report required under this paragraph, within
the period of time specified by the Corporation,
or submits or publishes any false or misleading
report or information, in a manner not described
in the 2nd preceding sentence shall be subject to
a penalty of not more than $20,000 for each day
during which such failure continues or such
false or misleading information is not corrected.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any
such bank knowingly or with reckless disregard
for the accuracy of any information or report
described in such sentence submits or publishes
any false or misleading report or information,
the Corporation may assess a penalty of not
more than $1,000,000 or 1 percent of total assets
of such bank, whichever is less, per day for each
day during which such failure continues or such
false or misleading information is not corrected.
Any penalty imposed under any of the 4 pre-
ceding sentences shall be assessed and collected
Page 983
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1817
by the Corporation in the manner provided in
subparagraphs (E), (F), (G), and (I) of section
1818(i)(2) of this title (for penalties imposed
under such section) and any such assessment
(including the determination of the amount of
the penalty) shall be subject to the provisions of
such section. Any such bank against which any
penalty is assessed under this subsection shall
be afforded an agency hearing if such bank sub-
mits a request for such hearing within 20 days
after the issuance of the notice of assessment.
Section 1818(h) of this title shall apply to any
proceeding under this paragraph.
(2)(A) The Corporation and, with respect to
any State depository institution, any appro-
priate State bank supervisor for such institu-
tion, shall have access to reports of examination
made by, and reports of condition made to, the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Hous-
ing Finance Agency, any Federal home loan
bank, or any Federal Reserve bank and to all re-
visions of reports of condition made to any of
them, and they shall promptly advise the Cor-
poration of any revisions or changes in respect
to deposit liabilities made or required to be
made in any report of condition. The Corpora-
tion may accept any report made by or to any
commission, board, or authority having super-
vision of a depository institution, and may fur-
nish to the Comptroller of the Currency, to the
Federal Housing Finance Agency, to any Fed-
eral home loan bank, to any Federal Reserve
bank, and to any such commission, board, or au-
thority, reports of examinations made on behalf
of, and reports of condition made to, the Cor-
poration.
(B) ADDITIONAL REPORTS.—The Board of Direc-
tors may from time to time require any insured
depository institution to file such additional re-
ports as the Corporation, after consultation
with the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem, as appropriate, may deem advisable for in-
surance purposes.
(C) DATA SHARING WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND
PERSONS.—In addition to reports of examination,
reports of condition, and other reports required
to be regularly provided to the Corporation
(with respect to all insured depository institu-
tions, including a depository institution for
which the Corporation has been appointed con-
servator or receiver) or an appropriate State
bank supervisor (with respect to a State deposi-
tory institution) under subparagraph (A) or (B),
a Federal banking agency may, in the discretion
of the agency, furnish any report of examination
or other confidential supervisory information
concerning any depository institution or other
entity examined by such agency under authority
of any Federal law, to—
(i) any other Federal or State agency or au-
thority with supervisory or regulatory author-
ity over the depository institution or other en-
tity;
(ii) any officer, director, or receiver of such
depository institution or entity; and
(iii) any other person that the Federal bank-
ing agency determines to be appropriate.
(3) Each insured depository institution shall
make to the appropriate Federal banking agen-
cy 4 reports of condition annually upon dates
which shall be selected by the Chairman of the
Board of Directors, the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency, and the Chairman of the Board of Gov-
ernors of the Federal Reserve System. The dates
selected shall be the same for all insured deposi-
tory institutions, except that when any of said
reporting dates is a nonbusiness day for any de-
pository institution, the preceding business day
shall be its reporting date. Such reports of con-
dition shall be the basis for the certified state-
ments to be filed pursuant to subsection (c). The
deposit liabilities shall be reported in said re-
ports of conditions in accordance with and pur-
suant to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this sub-
section, and such other information shall be re-
ported therein as may be required by the respec-
tive agencies. Each said report of condition shall
contain a declaration by the president, a vice
president, the cashier or the treasurer, or by any
other officer designated by the board of direc-
tors or trustees of the reporting depository in-
stitution to make such declaration, that the re-
port is true and correct to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief. The correctness of said report of
condition shall be attested by the signatures of
at least two directors or trustees of the report-
ing depository institution other than the officer
making such declaration, with a declaration
that the report has been examined by them and
to the best of their knowledge and belief is true
and correct. At the time of making said reports
of condition each insured depository institution
shall furnish to the Corporation a copy thereof
containing such signed declaration and attesta-
tions. Nothing herein shall preclude any of the
foregoing agencies from requiring the banks or
savings associations under its jurisdiction to
make additional reports of condition at any
time.
(4) In the reports of condition required to be
made by paragraph (3) of this subsection, each
insured depository institution shall report the
total amount of the liability of the depository
institution for deposits in the main office and in
any branch located in any State of the United
States, the District of Columbia, any Territory
of the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Amer-
ican Samoa, the Trust Territory of the Pacific
Islands, or the Virgin Islands, according to the
definition of the term ‘‘deposit’’ in and pursuant
to subsection (l) of section 1813 of this title with-
out any deduction for indebtedness of depositors
or creditors or any deduction for cash items in
the process of collection drawn on others than
the reporting depository institution: Provided,
That the depository institution in reporting
such deposits may (i) subtract from the deposit
balance due to any depository institution the
deposit balance due from the same depository
institution (other than trust funds deposited by
either depository institution) and any cash
items in the process of collection due from or
due to such depository institutions shall be in-
cluded in determining such net balance, except
that balances of time deposits of any depository
institution and any balances standing to the
credit of private depository institutions, of de-
pository institutions in foreign countries, of for-
eign branches of other American depository in-
stitutions, and of American branches of foreign
banks shall be reported gross without any such
Page 984
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1817
subtraction, and (ii) exclude any deposits re-
ceived in any office of the depository institution
for deposit in any other office of the depository
institution: And provided further, That out-
standing drafts (including advices and author-
izations to charge depository institution’s bal-
ance in another depository institution) drawn in
the regular course of business by the reporting
depository institution on depository institutions
need not be reported as deposit liabilities. The
amount of trust funds held in the depository in-
stitution’s own trust department, which the re-
porting depository institution keeps segregated
and apart from its general assets and does not
use in the conduct of its business, shall not be
included in the total deposits in such reports,
but shall be separately stated in such reports.
Deposits which are accumulated for the pay-
ment of personal loans and are assigned or
pledged to assure payment of loans at maturity
shall not be included in the total deposits in
such reports, but shall be deducted from the
loans for which such deposits are assigned or
pledged to assure repayment.
(5) The deposits to be reported on such reports
of condition shall be segregated between (i) time
and savings deposits and (ii) demand deposits.
For this purpose, the time and savings deposits
shall consist of time certificates of deposit, time
deposits-open account, and savings deposits; and
demand deposits shall consist of all deposits
other than time and savings deposits.
(6) LIFELINE ACCOUNT DEPOSITS.—In the reports
of condition required to be reported under this
subsection, the deposits in lifeline accounts (as
defined in section 1834(a)(3)(D) of this title) shall
be reported separately.
(7) The Board of Directors, after consultation
with the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem, may by regulation define the terms ‘‘cash
items’’ and ‘‘process of collection’’, and shall
classify deposits as ‘‘time’’, ‘‘savings’’, and ‘‘de-
mand’’ deposits, for the purposes of this section.
(8) In respect of any report required or author-
ized to be supplied or published pursuant to this
subsection or any other provision of law, the
Board of Directors or the Comptroller of the
Currency, as the case may be, may differentiate
between domestic banks and foreign banks to
such extent as, in their judgment, may be rea-
sonably required to avoid hardship and can be
done without substantial compromise of insur-
ance risk or supervisory and regulatory effec-
tiveness.
(9) DATA
COLLECTIONS.—In addition to or in
connection with any other report required under
this subsection, the Corporation shall take such
action as may be necessary to ensure that—
(A)
each
insured
depository
institution
maintains; and
(B) the Corporation receives on a regular
basis from such institution,
information on the total amount of all insured
deposits, preferred deposits, and uninsured de-
posits at the institution. In prescribing report-
ing and other requirements for the collection of
actual and accurate information pursuant to
this paragraph, the Corporation shall minimize
the regulatory burden imposed upon insured de-
pository institutions that are well capitalized
(as defined in section 1831o of this title) while
taking into account the benefit of the informa-
tion to the Corporation, including the use of the
information to enable the Corporation to more
accurately determine the total amount of in-
sured deposits in each insured depository insti-
tution for purposes of compliance with this
chapter.
(10) A Federal banking agency may not, by
regulation or otherwise, designate, or require an
insured institution or an affiliate to designate, a
corporation as highly leveraged or a transaction
with a corporation as a highly leveraged trans-
action solely because such corporation is or has
been a debtor or bankrupt under title 11, if, after
confirmation of a plan of reorganization, such
corporation would not otherwise be highly lever-
aged.
(11) STREAMLINING REPORTS OF CONDITION.—
(A) REVIEW
OF
INFORMATION
AND
SCHED-
ULES.—Before the end of the 1-year period be-
ginning on October 13, 2006, and before the end
of each 5-year period thereafter, each Federal
banking agency shall, in conjunction with the
other relevant Federal banking agencies, re-
view the information and schedules that are
required to be filed by an insured depository
institution in a report of condition required
under paragraph (3).
(B) REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF INFORMA-
TION FOUND TO BE UNNECESSARY.—After com-
pleting the review required by subparagraph
(A), a Federal banking agency, in conjunction
with the other relevant Federal banking agen-
cies, shall reduce or eliminate any require-
ment to file information or schedules under
paragraph (3) (other than information or
schedules that are otherwise required by law)
if the agency determines that the continued
collection of such information or schedules is
no longer necessary or appropriate.
(12) SHORT FORM REPORTING.—
(A) IN
GENERAL.—The appropriate Federal
banking agencies shall issue regulations that
allow for a reduced reporting requirement for
a covered depository institution when the in-
stitution makes the first and third report of
condition for a year, as required under para-
graph (3).
(B) DEFINITION.—In this paragraph, the term
‘‘covered depository institution’’ means an in-
sured depository institution that—
(i) has less than $5,000,000,000 in total con-
solidated assets; and
(ii) satisfies such other criteria as the ap-
propriate Federal banking agencies deter-
mine appropriate.
(b) Assessments
(1) Risk-based assessment system
(A) Risk-based assessment system required
The Board of Directors shall, by regula-
tion, establish a risk-based assessment sys-
tem for insured depository institutions.
(B) Private reinsurance authorized
In carrying out this paragraph, the Cor-
poration may—
(i) obtain private reinsurance covering
not more than 10 percent of any loss the
Corporation incurs with respect to an in-
sured depository institution; and
Page 985
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1817
1 See References in Text note below.
2 So in original. Par. (2) does not contain a subpar. (C).
(ii) base that institution’s assessment (in
whole or in part) on the cost of the rein-
surance.
(C) ‘‘Risk-based assessment system’’ defined
For purposes of this paragraph, the term
‘‘risk-based assessment system’’ means a
system for calculating a depository institu-
tion’s assessment based on—
(i) the probability that the Deposit In-
surance Fund will incur a loss with respect
to the institution, taking into consider-
ation the risks attributable to—
(I) different categories and concentra-
tions of assets;
(II) different categories and concentra-
tions of liabilities, both insured and un-
insured, contingent and noncontingent;
and
(III) any other factors the Corporation
determines are relevant to assessing
such probability;
(ii) the likely amount of any such loss;
and
(iii) the revenue needs of the Deposit In-
surance Fund.
(D) Separate assessment systems
The Board of Directors may establish sepa-
rate risk-based assessment systems for large
and small members of the Deposit Insurance
Fund.
(E) Information concerning risk of loss and
economic conditions
(i) Sources of information
For purposes of determining risk of
losses at insured depository institutions
and economic conditions generally affect-
ing depository institutions, the Corpora-
tion shall collect information, as appro-
priate, from all sources the Board of Direc-
tors considers appropriate, including re-
ports of condition, inspection reports, and
other information from all Federal bank-
ing agencies, any information available
from State bank supervisors, State insur-
ance and securities regulators, the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission (including
information described in section 1831l of
this title), the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Commodity Futures Trading Commis-
sion, the Farm Credit Administration, the
Federal Trade Commission, any Federal
reserve bank or Federal home loan bank,
and other regulators of financial institu-
tions, and any information available from
private economic, credit, or business ana-
lysts.
(ii) Consultation with Federal banking
agencies
(I) In general
Except as provided in subclause (II), in
assessing the risk of loss to the Deposit
Insurance Fund with respect to any in-
sured depository institution, the Cor-
poration shall consult with the appro-
priate Federal banking agency of such
institution.
(II) Treatment on aggregate basis
In the case of insured depository insti-
tutions that are well capitalized (as de-
fined in section 1831o of this title) and, in
the most recent examination, were found
to be well managed, the consultation
under subclause (I) concerning the as-
sessment of the risk of loss posed by
such institutions may be made on an ag-
gregate basis.
(iii) Rule of construction
No provision of this paragraph shall be
construed as providing any new authority
for the Corporation to require submission
of information by insured depository insti-
tutions to the Corporation, except as pro-
vided in subsection (a)(2)(B).
(F) Modifications to the risk-based assess-
ment system allowed only after notice
and comment
In revising or modifying the risk-based as-
sessment system at any time after February
8, 2006, the Board of Directors may imple-
ment such revisions or modification in final
form only after notice and opportunity for
comment.
(2) Setting assessments
(A) In general
The Board of Directors shall set assess-
ments for insured depository institutions in
such amounts as the Board of Directors may
determine to be necessary or appropriate,
subject to subparagraph (D).1
(B) Factors to be considered
In setting assessments under subparagraph
(A), the Board of Directors shall consider the
following factors:
(i) The estimated operating expenses of
the Deposit Insurance Fund.
(ii) The estimated case resolution ex-
penses and income of the Deposit Insur-
ance Fund.
(iii) The projected effects of the payment
of assessments on the capital and earnings
of insured depository institutions.
(iv) The risk factors and other factors
taken into account pursuant to paragraph
(1) under the risk-based assessment sys-
tem, including the requirement under such
paragraph to maintain a risk-based sys-
tem.
(v) Any other factors the Board of Direc-
tors may determine to be appropriate.
(D) 2 Notice of assessments
The Corporation shall notify each insured
depository institution of that institution’s
assessment.
(E) Bank Enterprise Act requirement
The Corporation shall design the risk-
based assessment system so that, insofar as
the system bases assessments, directly or in-
directly, on deposits, the portion of the de-
posits of any insured depository institution
which are attributable to lifeline accounts
established in accordance with the Bank En-
terprise Act of 1991 shall be subject to as-
sessment at a rate determined in accordance
with such Act.
Page 986
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1817
(3) Designated reserve ratio
(A) Establishment
(i) In general
Before the beginning of each calendar
year, the Board of Directors shall des-
ignate the reserve ratio applicable with re-
spect to the Deposit Insurance Fund and
publish the reserve ratio so designated.
(ii) Rulemaking requirement
Any change to the designated reserve
ratio shall be made by the Board of Direc-
tors by regulation after notice and oppor-
tunity for comment.
(B) Minimum reserve ratio
The reserve ratio designated by the Board
of Directors for any year may not be less
than 1.35 percent of estimated insured depos-
its, or the comparable percentage of the as-
sessment base set forth in paragraph (2)(C).2
(C) Factors
In designating a reserve ratio for any year,
the Board of Directors shall—
(i) take into account the risk of losses to
the Deposit Insurance Fund in such year
and future years, including historic experi-
ence and potential and estimated losses
from insured depository institutions;
(ii) take into account economic condi-
tions generally affecting insured deposi-
tory institutions so as to allow the des-
ignated reserve ratio to increase during
more favorable economic conditions and to
decrease during less favorable economic
conditions, notwithstanding the increased
risks of loss that may exist during such
less favorable conditions, as determined to
be appropriate by the Board of Directors;
(iii) seek to prevent sharp swings in the
assessment rates for insured depository in-
stitutions; and
(iv) take into account such other factors
as the Board of Directors may determine
to be appropriate, consistent with the re-
quirements of this subparagraph.
(D) Publication of proposed change in ratio
In soliciting comment on any proposed
change in the designated reserve ratio in ac-
cordance with subparagraph (A), the Board
of Directors shall include in the published
proposal a thorough analysis of the data and
projections on which the proposal is based.
(E) DIF restoration plans
(i) In general
Whenever—
(I) the Corporation projects that the
reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance
Fund will, within 6 months of such deter-
mination,
fall
below
the
minimum
amount specified in subparagraph (B)(ii)
for the designated reserve ratio; or
(II) the reserve ratio of the Deposit In-
surance Fund actually falls below the
minimum amount specified in subpara-
graph (B)(ii) for the designated reserve
ratio without any determination under
subclause (I) having been made,
the Corporation shall establish and imple-
ment a Deposit Insurance Fund restora-
tion plan within 90 days that meets the re-
quirements of clause (ii) and such other
conditions as the Corporation determines
to be appropriate.
(ii) Requirements of restoration plan
A Deposit Insurance Fund restoration
plan meets the requirements of this clause
if the plan provides that the reserve ratio
of the Fund will meet or exceed the min-
imum amount specified in subparagraph
(B)(ii) for the designated reserve ratio be-
fore the end of the 8-year period beginning
upon the implementation of the plan (or
such longer period as the Corporation may
determine to be necessary due to extraor-
dinary circumstances).
(iii) Restriction on assessment credits
As part of any restoration plan under
this subparagraph, the Corporation may

ment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of
voting stock of such insured depository institu-
tion unless the appropriate Federal banking
agency has been given sixty days’ prior written
notice of such proposed acquisition and within
that time period the agency has not issued a no-
tice disapproving the proposed acquisition or, in
the discretion of the agency, extending for an
additional 30 days the period during which such
a disapproval may issue. The period for dis-

stitution, and shall allow thirty days within
which the views and recommendations of such
State depository institution supervisory agency
may be submitted. The appropriate Federal
banking agency shall give due consideration to
the views and recommendations of such State
agency in determining whether to disapprove

fault of the depository institution involved in
the proposed acquisition, such Federal banking
agency may dispense with the requirements of
this paragraph or, if a copy of the notice is for-
warded to the State depository institution su-

the accuracy and completeness of any infor-
mation described in paragraph (6) with respect
to such person.
(C) REPORT.—The appropriate Federal banking
agency shall prepare a written report of any in-

of a proposed acquisition, the appropriate Fed-
eral banking agency shall, unless such agency
determines that an emergency exists, within a
reasonable period of time—

tory institution proposed to be acquired and
the name of each person identified in such no-
tice as a person by whom or for whom such ac-
quisition is to be made; and
(ii) solicit public comment on such proposed
acquisition, particularly from persons in the
geographic area where the bank 4 proposed to
be acquired is located, before final consider-
ation of such notice by the agency,

such disclosure or solicitation would seriously
threaten the safety or soundness of such bank.4

(4) Within ten days of receipt of such notice of
disapproval, the acquiring party may request an
agency hearing on the proposed acquisition. In
such hearing all issues shall be determined on
the record pursuant to section 554 of title 5. The
length of the hearing shall be determined by the
appropriate Federal banking agency. At the con-
clusion thereof, the appropriate Federal banking
agency shall by order approve or disapprove the
proposed acquisition on the basis of the record
made at such hearing.
(5) Any person whose proposed acquisition is
disapproved after agency hearings under this
subsection may obtain review by the United
States court of appeals for the circuit in which
the home office of the bank 4 to be acquired is lo-
cated, or the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit, by filing a no-
tice of appeal in such court within ten days from
the date of such order, and simultaneously send-
ing a copy of such notice by registered or cer-
tified mail to the appropriate Federal banking
agency. The appropriate Federal banking agency
shall promptly certify and file in such court the
record upon which the disapproval was based.

agency shall be set aside if found to be arbitrary

fiscal years then concluded, all prepared in ac-
cordance with generally accepted accounting
