Final Approval Under OMB Delegated
Authority of the Extension for Three
Years, Without Revision, of the
Following Reports
1. Report title: Microeconomic
Survey.
Agency form number: FR 3051.
OMB control number: 7100–0321.
Frequency: Annually and monthly, as
needed.
Reporters: Individuals, households,
and financial and non-financial
businesses.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
Annual, 6,000 hours; Monthly, 18,000
hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
Annual, 60 minutes; Monthly, 30
minutes.
Estimated number of respondents:
Annual, 6,000; Monthly, 3,000.
General description of report: This
information collection is voluntary
(12 U.S.C. 225A and 263). If needed, the
Federal Reserve can make this survey
mandatory for Federal Reserve regulated
institutions under section 9 of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324) for
state member banks; section 5(c) of the
Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)) for bank holding companies
and their subsidiaries; sections 25 and
25(A) of the Federal Reserve Act
(12 U.S.C. 602 and 625) for Edge and
agreement corporations; and section
7(c)(2) of the International Banking Act
of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)) for U.S.
branches and agencies of foreign banks.
Generally, when the survey or study is
conducted by an outside firm, names or
other such directly identifying
characteristics would not be reported to
the Federal Reserve. In circumstances
where identifying information is
provided to the Federal Reserve, such
information could possibly be protected
from Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) disclosure by exemptions 4 and
6 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (6)).

Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses
this event-driven survey to obtain
information specifically tailored to the
Federal Reserve’s supervisory,
regulatory, operational, and other
responsibilities. The Federal Reserve
can conduct the FR 3051 up to 13 times
per year (one survey on an annual basis
and another on a monthly basis). The
frequency and content of the questions
depend on changing economic,
regulatory, or legislative developments.
2. Report title: Recordkeeping
Requirements Associated with Real
Estate Appraisal Standards for Federally
Related Transactions Pursuant to
Regulations H and Y.
Agency form number: FR H–4.
OMB control number: 7100–0250.
Frequency: Event-generated.
Reporters: State Member Banks
(SMBs) and nonbank subsidiaries of
Bank Holding Companies (BHCs).
Estimated annual reporting hours:
SMBs, 30,488 hours; nonbank
subsidiaries of BHCs, 11,494 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
SMBs, 0.25; nonbank subsidiaries of
BHCs, 0.25.
Number of respondents: SMBs, 824;
nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs, 613.
General description of report: The
recordkeeping requirements of this
information collection are mandatory
(12 U.S.C. 3339). Since the Federal
Reserve does not collect this
information, confidentiality not
generally be an issue. However, if the
Federal Reserve were to collect a copy
of the appraisal report during an
examination, the documents could be
exempt from disclosure under FOIA (5
U.S.C 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)).
Abstract: For federally related
transactions, Title XI of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA)
requires SMBs and BHCs with credit
extending nonbank subsidiaries to use
appraisals prepared in accordance with
the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice promulgated by the
Appraisal Standards Board of the
Appraisal Foundation. Generally, these
standards include the methods and
techniques used to analyze a property as
well as the requirements for reporting
such analysis and a value conclusion in
the appraisal. SMBs and BHCs with
credit-extending nonbank subsidiaries
are expected to maintain records that
demonstrate that appraisals used in
their real estate-related lending
activities comply with these regulatory
requirements. There is no formal
reporting form.

(RFP) and Request for Price Quotations
(RFPQ).
E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM
10APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Notices
Agency form number: RFP/RFPQ.
OMB control number: 7100–0180.
Frequency: On-occasion.
Reporters: Vendors and suppliers.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
RFP, 7,000 hours; RFPQ, 1,700 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
RFP, 50 hours; RFPQ, 2 hours.
Number of respondents: RFP, 140;
RFPQ, 850.
General description of report: This
information collection is required to
obtain a benefit and is authorized by
Sections 10(3), 10(4), and 11(1) of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 243, 244,
and 248(l)). Proposals from vendors that
are not accepted and incorporated into
contracts with the Federal Reserve
would be protected from FOIA
disclosure by (41 U.S.C. 4702), which
expressly prohibits FOIA disclosure of
these proposals. Moreover, during the
solicitation process vendors are
permitted to mark information
contained in their proposals that is
proprietary or confidential with the
label RESTRICTED DATA. For
information so marked, the Federal
Reserve also may determine on a caseby-case basis whether FOIA exemption
4, which applies to ‘‘trade secrets and
commercial or financial information,’’
would protect information from
disclosure pursuant to a FOIA request
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The Federal Reserve Board
uses the RFP and the RFPQ as
appropriate to obtain competitive
proposals and contracts from approved
vendors of goods and services. This
information collection is required to
collect data on prices, specifications of
goods and services, and qualifications of
prospective vendors.

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated
Authority To Conduct Following Survey
Report title: 2013 Survey of Consumer
Finances (SCF).
Agency form number: FR 3059.
OMB control number: 7100–0287.
Frequency: One-time survey.
Reporters: U.S. families.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
8,938 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
Pretest, 75 minutes; and Main survey,
75 minutes.
Number of respondents: Pretest, 150;
and Main survey, 7,000.
General description of report: This
information collection is voluntary (12
U.S.C. 225a and 263). The names and
other characteristics that would directly
identify respondents would be retained
by the Federal Reserve’s contractor and
are exempt from disclosure pursuant to
the Confidential Information Protection
and Statistical Efficiency Act and

Jkt 226001
section (b)(3) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552
(b)(3)).
Abstract: This would be the eleventh
triennial SCF since 1983, the beginning
of the current series. This survey is the
only source of representative
information on the structure of U.S.
families’ finances. The survey would
collect data on the assets, debts, income,
work history, pension rights, use of
financial services, and attitudes of a
sample of U.S. families. Because the
ownership of some assets is relatively
concentrated in a small number of
families, the survey would make a
special effort to ensure proper
representation of such assets by
systematically oversampling wealthier
families.
Current Actions: On February 1, 2012,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (77 FR 5015)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the FR 3051, RFP/RFPQ, FR H–4,

receive any comments.
