            ``(12) Lending increases attributable to investment or 
        other assistance under the troubled assets relief program.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Each report of condition filed 
                pursuant to this subsection by an insured depository 
                institution which received an investment or other 
                assistance under the Troubled Assets Relief Program

                lending in the period covered by such report (or the 
                amount of any reduction in any decrease in new lending) 
                that is attributable to such investment or assistance, 
                to the extent possible.
                    ``(B) Alternative measure.--If an insured 
                depository institution that is subject to subparagraph 
                (A) cannot accurately quantify the effect that an 
                investment or other assistance under such Troubled 
                Assets Relief Program has had on new lending by the 
                institution, the insured depository institution shall 
                report the total amount of the increase in new lending, 
                if any, in the period covered by such report.''.
