SUMMARY: Background.
On June 15, 1984, the Office of

approve of and assign OMB control
numbers to collection of information
requests and requirements conducted or
sponsored by the Board under

collections of information are
incorporated into the official OMB

submitted to the Board for final
approval under OMB delegated
authority. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Federal Reserve’s
functions; including whether the
information has practical utility;

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
