SUBJECT: Guide to the Interagency Country Exposure Review Committee (ICERC) Process

                     The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have developed a document entitled "Guide to the Interagency Country Exposure Review Committee Process." The agencies developed the guide to clarify and make more transparent the role of the ICERC in the supervisory process.

                     Please distribute the attached interagency guide to the appropriate officer of each bank holding company, state member bank, and banking Edge corporation in your District that files the FFIEC 009 report (Country Exposure Report), as well as to each U.S. branch and agency of a foreign banking organization supervised by the Federal Reserve.  It is also appropriate to distribute the interagency guide to senior supervisory management and examination staff with responsibility for transfer risk issues.

                     Questions concerning this interagency guide should be directed to Michael Martinson, Deputy Associate Director (202/452-3640), or Kirk Odegard, Senior Financial Analyst (202/530-6225).
