Internet Electronic Submission

Methods of Electronic Submission

There are currently several methods of reporting available: Data Entry/Spreadsheet File Transfer and File Transfer of STAT Data Files via “IESUB;” Data Entry via “FR Y-10 Online;” and File Transfer via "CDR" for submitting the Call Report Data. The process for gaining access to submit a report electronically depends on which financial report is being submitted.

Requirements

To submit statistical and regulatory reports to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland using IESUB or the Fr Y-10 Online, you must agree to the terms as stated in the Federal Reserve's Operating Circular 5: Electronic Access.

Submitting Data via Internet Electronic Submission (IESUB)

1. Print and complete the Internet Submission User Request Form for BHCs or Depository Institutions.
2. Submit the completed form to the Federal Reserve Bank via fax 216.579.2205, email, or mail.
3. Upon receipt and processing of the form, you will be contacted with a user name, temporary password, and other relevant information for accessing IESUB.
4. The first time you access the IESUB site, you will be prompted to change your password before using the site.

Data Entry/Spreadsheet File Transfer

The respondent has the option to key data directly on the IESUB website or upload a file to IESUB in spreadsheet format. The spreadsheets can be created using a spreadsheet application, like Microsoft Excel, a vendor-supplied software, or any other backend system that a reporting institution uses to generate its data. Refer to the Spreadsheet File Transfer User Guides  for file formatting procedures. The following reports can be submitted using Data Entry/Spreadsheet File Transfer in IESUB:

* The FR Y-9 Series of reports, as part of the BHC Modernization initiative, are required to be filed electronically. Under this new business model, all published edits must be explained or resolved before the data are accepted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

File Transfer of STAT Data Files

Vendor-supplied software is necessary for this type of submission. Through the software, a file is created that can be selected in IESUB and submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Unlike files containing data in the IESUB Spreadsheet Transfer file format, IESUB will not populate a data entry screen nor perform validation checking of the data within the file. For more details, refer to the File Transfer User Guide. The following reports can be submitted using the File Transfer of STAT Data Files in IESUB:

Submitting Call Report Data via Central Data Repository (CDR)

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Call Report Agencies (FDIC, FRB, and OCC) collaborated to develop a secure, shared database for collecting and managing quarterly Call Report data. The Central Data Repository (CDR) was implemented on October 1, 2005.

The implementation of the CDR marked a new way in how Call Report data are collected, validated, managed, and distributed. Under this new system, institutions file their Call Report data via the Internet using software that contains the FFIEC's edits for validating Call Report data before submission. Call Report software vendors modified their software to incorporate these edits, including the Reportability Edits, which flag incomplete Call Report data that are required to be reported by a financial institution. This new business model requires all FFIEC Edits to be explained or resolved before the data are accepted by the CDR.

Access Procedures

If your institution needs to submit Call Report data through the CDR, please go to the FFIEC website to enroll. (Click on the link for Financial Institutions. Under the Enrollment tab, select the Enrollment Guidelines section.)

Submitting the FR Y-10 Online

As an alternative to submitting an original and one copy of the Report of Changes in Organizational Structure (FR Y-10) respondents may file the FR Y-10 electronically.

Access Procedures

Respondents within the Fourth District interested in filing the FR Y-10 electronically must contact the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in order to obtain a User ID and password:

1. Print and complete the User Request Form.
2. Submit the completed form to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland via fax 216.579.2205.
3. Upon receipt and processing of the form, you will be contacted with a user name, password, and other relevant information.
