commercial lines of credit and retail check credit and related plans.

equity lines) which should be reported in Schedule RC-L, item 1.a, above, (b) commitments

General Instructions for Standby Letters of Credit -- Originating banks must report in
2 and 3
items 2 and 3 the full amount outstanding and unused of financial and performance standby
letters of credit, respectively. Include those standby letters of credit that are collateralized by
cash on deposit, that have been acquired from others, and in which participations have been
conveyed to others where (a) the originating and issuing bank is obligated to pay the full
amount of any draft drawn under the terms of the standby letter of credit and (b) the
participating banks have an obligation to partially or wholly reimburse the originating bank,
either directly in cash or through a participation in a loan to the account party.
For syndicated standby letters of credit where each bank has a direct obligation to the
beneficiary, each bank must report only its share in the syndication. Similarly, if several banks
participate in the issuance of a standby letter of credit under a bona fide binding agreement
which provides that (a) regardless of any event, each participant shall be liable only up to a
certain percentage or to a certain amount and (b) the beneficiary is advised and has agreed
that each participating bank is only liable for a certain portion of the entire amount, each bank
shall report only its proportional share of the total standby letter of credit.
For a financial or performance standby letter of credit that is in turn backed by a financial
standby letter of credit issued by another bank, each bank must report the entire amount of
the standby letter of credit it has issued in either item 2 or item 3 below, as appropriate. The
amount of the reporting bank's financial or performance standby letter of credit that is backed
by the other bank's financial standby letter of credit must also be reported in either item 2.a
or 3.a, as appropriate, since the backing of standby letters of credit has substantially the same
effect as the conveying of participations in standby letters of credit.
On the FFIEC 031, also include all financial and performance guarantees issued by
foreign offices of the reporting bank pursuant to Federal Reserve Regulation K or
Section 347.103(a)(1) of the FDIC Rules and Regulations.
