Reporting Central Application Frequently Asked Questions

The Reporting Central application provides a more secure, technically advanced and efficient system that serves as a single point of entry for Federal Reserve, Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) and Treasury electronic reports submission and file uploads.

Please contact your local Reporting Central District Contact with questions regarding electronic submission of financial data and reporting instructions. For assistance with setting up access to the Reporting Central application via the FedLine Web^® Solution, contact the Federal Reserve’s Support Center.

Yes. Please note that all equipment, including personal computers, used to access those Federal Reserve Bank Services that can be accessed outside of an individual’s normal working environment via FedLine Solutions must comply with published Hardware and Software Requirements. If you are working remotely and are not able to meet a hardware or software requirement, please contact the Support Center.

We encourage you to verify your access to the Reporting Central application at least 10 business days prior to a report’s submission due date to allow sufficient time to address connection issues. This entails ensuring you have an active FedLine credential at the ready in order to check your connection.

Individuals with questions or concerns about accessing the Reporting Central application outside their normal working environment should contact the Support Center, which can advise on any potential modifications required in their setup to be able to connect to our services.

An End User Authorization Contact (EUAC) is responsible for managing FedLine and Reporting Central electronic access. Access to the FedLine Web Solution is necessary to access the Reporting Central application. To work through the setup steps, an organization first needs to have identified the following:

• The individuals who will need access to Reporting Central for all reporting with the Federal Reserve.
• The organization and individuals who will manage electronic access to the Federal Reserve. These individuals are critical to the Reporting Central setup process.

For more information, refer to the Affiliate EUAC Setup Option.

The following individuals will participate in the Reporting Central application setup process.

• Authorized Individuals in your organization who serve as a legal basis for establishing your organization’s authority to engage in business with the Federal Reserve and to ensure instructions are accepted only from those individuals that you authorize for your organization.
• EUACs who have the authority to designate individuals (Subscribers) who will submit reports via the FedLine Web Solution, and who are critical to the Reporting Central application setup process.
• Subscribers who are approved by EUACs and who will be responsible for FedLine credentials, which are required to access the Reporting Central application. Organizations can request an unlimited number of credentials (FedLine Subscribers) for Reporting Central at no charge.

For more information, refer to the instructions and example located on the Reporting Central Application Setup page.

EUACs are the trust anchors within your organization and are critical to the Reporting Central application setup process. Your organization will need to appoint at least two EUACs for Reporting Central. If your organization already has EUACs in place, they may or may not be the appropriate EUACs for the Reporting Central application. If your organization chooses to leverage your existing EUACs, please notify your local Reporting Central District Contact of your intention. If your organization needs to designate additional EUACs, the appropriate EUAC Form must be completed and submitted. Refer to Step 2 for more detailed instructions and links to the appropriate forms.

If you need assistance in determining who the EUACs are for your organization, contact the Support Center.

Yes. However, a Subscriber request must be completed for the EUAC who also plans to be a Subscriber, and it must be submitted by a different EUAC at your organization. Refer to the Reporting Central Application Setup page for more detailed instructions and links to the appropriate forms.

No. The individuals submitting the reports do not need to be listed on the OAL, Authorization List and/or the EUAC forms.

Organizations will access Reporting Central via the FedLine Web Solution to submit report data and access electronic reporting applications, report forms and instructions. Access to the application is on the Reporting Central page.

Please note that you will not be able to access all reports until the reports have been made available within the Reporting Central application.

The Reporting Central Foreign Electronic Access Process facilitates requests for Reporting Central access by a Subscriber or EUAC located outside the United States or its territories. While individuals in a foreign location will still access Reporting Central via the FedLine Web Solution, the process for requesting and obtaining access is different than that required for domestic individuals and requires additional Subscriber validations and associated forms. This process is designed to help ensure compliance with foreign laws and regulations. Please contact the Support Center for more information on this process.

Refer to the Reporting Central Application Setup page. There you will also find links to the Reporting Central steps you need to take and detailed instructions to follow.

To obtain access within Reporting Central to the reports you submit, please work with EUACs within your organization to ensure that the Federal Reserve Bank Subscriber Access Request Form for Reporting Central (Form RC-1) is submitted. You can request access for all reports for which your organization is responsible using one form per Subscriber per legal entity. However, you can submit a spreadsheet if a Subscriber needs to request access to submit reports for more than 10 legal entities. Please note that you will not be able to access all reports you select on the form until the reports have been made available within the Reporting Central application. All organizations will use their RSSD IDs to complete this form and should follow the steps below.

• Form RC-1 (PDF) is available online or via FedLine Home. Once each Subscriber request has been processed by the Support Center, an EUAC will be able to click “Request Reporting Series Access” within the EUAC Center to access a pre-populated Form RC-1 for each credentialed Subscriber. Please note that a separate Form RC-1 must be completed for each legal entity.
• Send the completed form via fax, mail or email to your local Reporting Central District Contact.

Please see the Step 4: Set Up Report Access page for more information.

If you need to work with a vendor to assist your organization in establishing its FedLine Web connection, then you need to make sure that any provision of information to your vendor is in compliance with Operating Circular 5’s confidentiality requirements located in paragraph 5.4.
