The Federal Reserve’s statutory basis for collecting this information is section 2A, 14, and 19 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 225(a), 353, and 461); the Bank Merger Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(c)); and sections 3 and 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1842 and 1843).

Abstract: For many years, the Board has sponsored consumer surveys to obtain information on the financial behavior of households. The 2007 Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF) will be the latest in a triennial series, which began in 1983, that provides comprehensive data for U.S. families on the distribution of assets and debts, along with related information and other data items necessary for analyzing financial behavior. These are the only surveys conducted in the United States that provide such financial data for a representative sample of households. Data for the SCF are collected by interviewers using a computer program. While some questions may be deleted and others modified, only minimal changes will be made to the questionnaire in order to preserve the time series properties of the data. The pretest would be conducted later this year and the survey would be conducted between May 2007 and January 2008. Current Actions: On July 11, 2006, the Federal Reserve published a notice in the Federal Register (71 FR 39118) requesting public comment for 60 days on the proposal to conduct the FR 3059. The comment period for this notice expired on September 11, 2006.
