        defined in the regulations prescribed pursuant to section 32(f) 
        of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act).
            (2) Factors to be included.--In conducting the study 
        pursuant to paragraph (1), the Federal Deposit Insurance 
        Corporation shall--
                    (A) consider the overall effectiveness and accuracy 
                of the methodology used by the Corporation for 
                establishing and maintaining reserves and estimating 
                and accounting for losses at insured depository 
                institutions, during the period described in such 
                paragraph;
                    (B) consider the appropriateness and reliability of 
                information and criteria used by the Corporation in 
                determining--
                            (i) whether an insured depository 
                        institution was in a troubled condition; and
                            (ii) the amount of any loss anticipated at 
                        such institution;
                    (C) analyze the actual historical loss experience 
                over the period described in paragraph (1) and the 
                causes of the exceptionally high rate of losses 
                experienced by the Corporation in the final 3 years of 
                that period; and
                    (D) rate the Corporation's efforts of the 
                Corporation to reduce losses in such 3-year period to 
                minimally acceptable levels and to historical levels.
            (3) Report required.--The Board of Directors of the Federal 
        Deposit Insurance Corporation shall submit a report to the 
        Congress before June 30, 2003, containing the findings and 
        conclusions of the Corporation, in consultation with the 
        Comptroller General, with respect to the study required under 
        paragraph (1), together with such recommendations for 
        legislative or administrative action as the Board of Directors 
        may determine to be appropriate.
