On July 20, 2015, the Prudential Regulation Authority published a Supervisory Statement setting out the liquidity coverage requirement reporting standards which firm's will need to comply with on an interim basis between October 1, 2015, the date the LCR applies under the original implementing technical standards, and the date of the new LCR requirements come into effect following the adoption by the European Commission of revised ITS on liquidity reporting. Firms are required to submit LCR data to national regulators under the CRR and CRD. The PRA considers that firms should report their LCR positions in the interim period so that their liquidity resilience can be monitored. However, if firms report their LCR positions according to the provisions of the original ITS, their LCR positions will not be properly determined. Therefore, the PRA has set out in the Supervisory Statement the data that firms are required to submit in the interim period.

The Supervisory Statement is available at: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/pra/Documents/publications/ss/2015/ss2915.pdf.
