Data Description:

This column contains the name of the agency that is the primary regulator of a depository institution, non-deposit trust company, bank holding company, thrift holding company, farm credit bank, or federal housing enterprise.   The following agencies are represented:

FCA - Farm Credit Administration (Valid from 19711210 to 99991231)
FDIC - Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (Valid from 19330606 to 99991231)
FHFA - Federal Housing Finance Agency (Valid from 20080730 to 99991231)
FRS - Federal Reserve System (Valid from 19131223 to 99991231)
NCUA - National Credit Union Administration (Valid from 19700310 to 99991231)
OCC - Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (Valid from 18630225 to 99991231)
OTS - Office of Thrift Supervision (Valid from 19890809 to 20110721)

An institution's primary regulator may change through its history if it changed its charter from federal to state or vice versa, began or ended membership in the Federal Reserve System, etc. It may also change due to legislation, for example the transfer of OTS supervisory responsibilities as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.   Therefore ATTRIBUTES rows for the same ID_RSSD may have different PRIM_FED_REG values.

PRIM_FED_REG is null in ATTRIBUTES rows where it does not apply, such as branch offices and nonbank companies (including nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs).

PRIM_FED_REG is derived nightly to reflect the latest updates to ATTRIBUTES tables, according to a set of rules based on applicable law and regulation. In very rare exceptional cases, the derivation may be manually overridden.   Authorized SPA users request and remove PRIM_FED_REG overrides using the eDATUM application.
