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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:20 May 16, 2012 Jkt 226001 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.
