Estimated average hours per response:
Turnover survey: 51 hours; outstandings
survey: 60 hours
Number of respondents: 60
General description of report: This
information collection is voluntary (12
U.S.C. 225a, 248(a)(2), 358, and 3105(c))
and is given confidential treatment (5
U.S.C. ’552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 3036 is the U.S. part
of a global data collection that is
conducted by central banks every three
years. More than fifty central banks plan
to conduct the survey in 2007. The Bank
for International Settlements compiles
national data from each central bank to
produce global market statistics.
The Federal Reserve System and other
government agencies use the survey to
monitor activity in the foreign exchange
and derivatives markets. Respondents
use the published data to gauge their
market share.
Current actions: The proposed survey
would collect information on the size
and structure of the foreign exchange
and over–the–counter derivatives
markets. The survey would cover the
turnover in the foreign exchange spot
market, the foreign exchange derivatives
market, and interest rate derivatives
markets (forwards, swaps, and options).
In addition, the survey would gather
data on the notional amounts and gross
positive and negative market values of
outstanding derivatives contracts for
over–the–counter foreign exchange,
interest rates, equities, and
commodities.
To reduce reporting burden, the
Derivatives Outstanding part of the
survey is coordinated with the
Semiannual Report of Derivatives
Activity (FR 2436; OMB No. 7100–
0286). Those firms that submit FR 2436
data would not complete the Derivatives
Outstanding part of the survey.
Differences between the proposed
survey and the 2004 survey are as
follows:
1. The abbreviated report for FR 2436
reporters has been eliminated from the
Outstanding survey. Data on credit
derivatives are now submitted on the FR
2436.
2. Data items to capture credit default
swaps have been added to the
Outstanding survey to be consistent
with the FR 2436. Given the growth in
the credit derivative market, these data
are important component of
understanding the structure and activity
of the overall over–the–counter
derivatives market.
3. Additional currencies have been
identified in tables on interest rate
derivatives and on foreign exchange
transactions on both the Outstanding
and Turnover surveys. This change will
facilitate reporting and ensure
comprehensive identification of
turnover in all participating countries’
currencies. Reporting central banks will
retain discretion to customize this list.
4. The section on electronic trading
and identification of execution method
has been simplified and adjusted in
order to better distinguish between
categories on the Turnover survey.
5. The definition of internal and
related party trades has been clarified
on the Turnover survey in order to
improve consistency of data reporting.
6. The two data items in the
memorandum section concerning
trading activity trends on the Turnover
survey have been split into four data
items to provide detail on derivative
contracts markets since these markets
behave very differently.

There is
strong evidence that regular physical
activity promotes health and reduces
risk of many chronic diseases. Over the
past 40 years, many organizations,
including the Federal Government, have
issued physical activity
recommendations. More recently, a
specific physical activity guideline was
included in the 2000 and 2005 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, and the
Institute of Medicine included physical
activity in greater detail in its review of
energy balance in the 2005 Dietary
Reference Intakes for Energy,
Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids,
Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids.
While the various recommendations
illustrate scientific consensus on the
health benefits of physical activity, they
differ from each other in the particular
recommendations and highlighted
benefits.
The Physical Activity Guidelines
Advisory Committee will review
existing scientific literature to identify
where there is sufficient evidence to
develop a comprehensive set of specific
physical activity recommendations. The
Committee will prepare a report to the
Secretary that documents scientific
background and rationale for the 2008
edition of the Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans. The report
will also identify areas where further
