  1.  Covers the following types of institutions in the fifty states and the District of Columbia: domestically chartered commercial banks that submit a weekly report of
      condition (large domestic); other domestically chartered commercial banks (small domestic); branches and agencies of foreign banks, and Edge Act and Agreement corporations
      (foreign-related institutions). Excludes International Banking Facilities. Data are Wednesday values or pro rata averages of Wednesday values. Large domestic banks
      constitute a universe; data for small domestic banks and foreign-related institutions are estimates based on weekly samples and on quarter-end condition reports. Data are
      adjusted for breaks caused by reclassifications of assets and liabilities.
      The data for large and small domestic banks presented on pages 5 to 10 are adjusted to remove the estimated effects of mergers between these two groups. The adjustment for
      mergers changes past levels to make them comparable with current levels. Estimated quantities of balance sheet items acquired in mergers are removed from past data for the
      bank group that contained the acquired bank and put into past data for the group containing the acquiring bank. Balance sheet data for acquired banks are obtained from
      call reports, and a ratio procedure is used to adjust past levels.
  2.  Treasury securities are liabilities of the U.S. Treasury.  Agency securities are liabilities of U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.
  3.  Excludes federal funds sold to, reverse RPs with, and loans made to commercial banks in the United States, all of which are included in line 13.
  4.  Consists of reverse RPs with brokers and dealers and loans to purchase and carry securities.
  5.  Includes vault cash, cash items in process of collection, balances due from depository institutions, and balances due from Federal Reserve Banks.
  6.  Excludes the due-from position with related foreign offices, which is included in line 25.
  7.  Excludes unearned income, reserves for losses on loans and leases, and reserves for transfer risk. Loans are reported gross of these items.
  8.  This balancing item is not intended as a measure of equity capital for use in capital adequacy analysis. On a seasonally adjusted basis this item reflects any differences
      in the seasonal patterns estimated for total assets and total liabilities.
  9.  Fair value of derivative contracts (interest rate, foreign exchange rate, other commodity and equity contracts) in a gain/loss position, as determined under FASB
      Interpretation No. 39.  The fair value of derivative contracts in a gain position is included in "Other securities, trading account," balance sheet item 4a. The fair value 
      of derivative contracts in a loss position is included in "Other liabilities," balance sheet item 26.
  10. Includes mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and private entities.
  11. Difference between fair value and historical cost for securities classified as available-for-sale under FASB Statement No. 115. Data are reported net of tax effects. Data
      shown are restated to include an estimate of these tax effects.
  12. Total amount outstanding.
