Final approval under OMB delegated
authority of the extension for three
years, with revision, of the following
reports:
1. Report title: Senior Loan Officer
Opinion Survey on Bank Lending
Practices.
Agency form number: FR 2018.
OMB control number: 7100–0058.
Frequency: Up to six times a year.
Reporters: Domestically chartered
large commercial banks and large U.S.
branches and agencies of foreign banks.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
1,248 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
2 hours.
Number of respondents: 104.
General description of report: This
information collection is authorized by
Sections 2A, 12A and 11 of the Federal
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 225a, 248(a) and
12 U.S.C. § 263)) and Section 7 of the
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C.
3105(c)(2)) and is voluntary. Individual
respondent data are regarded as
confidential under the authority of
exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 2018 is conducted
with a senior loan officer at each
respondent bank, generally through
electronic submission, up to six times a
year. The purpose of the survey is to
provide qualitative and limited
quantitative information on credit
availability and demand, as well as
evolving developments and lending
practices in the U.S. loan markets.
Consequently, a portion of the questions
in each survey typically covers special
topics of timely interest. There is the
option to survey other types of
respondents (such as other depository
institutions, bank holding companies, or
other financial entities) should the need

arise. The FR 2018 survey provides
crucial information for monitoring and
understanding the evolution of lending
practices at banks and developments in
credit markets.
Current Actions: The Federal Reserve
proposes to reduce the minimum asset
size for panel institutions from $3
billion to $2 billion and add 20
domestically chartered commercial
banks with $2 to $10 billion in total
assets to the current reporting panel.
The Federal Reserve believes that the
additions to the panel would provide
deeper coverage of commercial real
estate loans and small business lending,
as well as a more comprehensive picture
of differences in lending conditions at
the largest banks and regional banks.
On February 6, 2012, the Federal
Reserve published a notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 5802)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the proposal to extend, with revision,
the Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey
on Bank Lending Practices. The
comment period for this notice expired
on April 6, 2012. The Federal Reserve
did not receive any comments. The
revisions will be implemented as
proposed.
2. Report title: Senior Financial
Officer Survey.
Agency form number: FR 2023.
OMB control number: 7100–0223.
Frequency: Up to four times a year.
Reporters: Domestically chartered
large commercial banks.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
960 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
3 hours.
Number of respondents: 80.
General description of report: This
information collection is authorized by
Sections 2A, 11 and 12A of the Federal
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 225a, 248(a), and
263) and is voluntary. Individual
respondent data are regarded as
confidential under the authority of
exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses
this voluntary survey to collect
qualitative and limited quantitative
information about liability management,
the provision of financial services, and
the functioning of key financial markets.
Responses are obtained from a senior
officer at each participating institution
usually through an electronic
submission. The survey is conducted
when major informational needs arise
and cannot be met from existing data
sources. The survey does not have a
fixed set of questions; each survey
consists of a limited number of
questions directed at topics of timely
interest. The survey helps pinpoint

developing trends in bank funding
practices, enabling the Federal Reserve
to distinguish these trends from
transitory phenomena.
Current Actions: The Federal Reserve
proposes to add 20 domestically
chartered commercial banks with $2 to
$10 billion in total assets to the current
reporting panel and reduce the
minimum asset size for panel
institutions from $3 billion to $2 billion.
The Federal Reserve believes that the
additions to the panel would provide a
more comprehensive picture of
differences in funding conditions at the
largest banks and regional banks, and
deeper coverage of banks that lend in
commercial real estate and small
business markets. The reporting panel
selection criteria for the FR 2023 are
consistent with those criteria from the
FR 2018. The proposed FR 2023 panel
revisions are necessary in order to
maintain consistency with the proposed
panel revision in the FR 2018.
On February 6, 2012, the Federal
Reserve published a notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 5802)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the proposal to extend, with revision,
the Senior Financial Officer Survey. The
comment period for this notice expired
on April 6, 2012. The Federal Reserve
did not receive any comments. The
revisions will be implemented as
proposed.
