Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for
three years, without revision, of the
following reports:
1. Report title: Report of Transaction
Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault
Cash.
Agency form number: FR 2900.
OMB control number: 7100–0087.
Frequency: Weekly and quarterly.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:00 May 22, 2012
Jkt 226001
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
549,878 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
3.50 hours.
Number of respondents: 2,669 weekly
and 4,580 quarterly.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory by
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
248(a), 461, 603, and 615) and
Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The
data are given confidential treatment (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: Institutions with net
transaction accounts greater than the
exemption amount are called
nonexempt institutions. Institutions
with total transaction accounts, savings
deposits, and small time deposits
greater than or equal to the reduced
reporting limit, regardless of the level of
their net transaction accounts, are also
referred to as nonexempt institutions.
Nonexempt institutions submit FR 2900
data either weekly or quarterly. An
institution is required to report weekly
if its total transaction accounts, savings
deposits, and small time deposits are
greater than or equal to the nonexempt
deposit cutoff. If the nonexempt
institution’s total transaction accounts,
savings deposits, and small time
deposits are less than the nonexempt
deposit cutoff then the institution must
report quarterly or may elect to report
weekly. U.S. branches and agencies of
foreign banks and banking Edge and
agreement corporations submit the FR
2900 data weekly, regardless of their
size. These mandatory data are used by
the Federal Reserve for administering
Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of
Depository Institutions) and for
constructing, analyzing, and monitoring
the monetary and reserve aggregates.
2. Report title: Annual Report of
Deposits and Reservable Liabilities.
Agency form number: FR 2910a.
OMB control number: 7100–0175.
Frequency: Annually.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 3,503 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
45 minutes.
Number of respondents: 4,670.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory by
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
248(a) and 461) and Regulation D (12
CFR part 204). The data are given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 2910a is an annual
report generally filed by depository
institutions that are exempt from reserve
requirements under the Garn-St.
Germain Depository Institutions Act of
1982 and whose total deposits,
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

measured from depository institutions’
December quarterly condition reports,
are greater than the exemption amount
but less than the reduced reporting
limit. The report contains three data
items that are to be submitted for a
single day, June 30: (1) Total transaction
accounts, savings deposits, and small
time deposits; (2) reservable liabilities;
and (3) net transaction accounts. The
data collected on this report serves two
purposes. First, the data are used to
determine which depository institutions
will remain exempt from reserve
requirements and consequently eligible
for reduced reporting for another year.
Second, the data are used in the annual
indexation of the low reserve tranche,
the exemption amount, the nonexempt
deposit cutoff, and the reduced
reporting limit. These mandatory data
are used by the Federal Reserve for
administering Regulation D and for
constructing, analyzing, and monitoring
the monetary and reserve aggregates.
3. Report title: Report of Foreign (NonU.S.) Currency Deposits.
Agency form number: FR 2915.
OMB control number: 7100–0237.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 284 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
30 minutes.
Number of respondents: 142.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory by
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
248(a) and 347(d)) and Regulation D (12
CFR part 204). The data are given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
Abstract: All FR 2900 respondents,
both weekly and quarterly, that offer
deposits denominated in foreign
currencies at their U.S. offices file the
FR 2915. FR 2915 data are used to
remove foreign currency deposits from
aggregated FR 2900 data in constructing
the monetary aggregates. All weekly and
quarterly FR 2900 respondents offering
foreign currency deposits file the FR
2915 quarterly, on the same reporting
schedule as quarterly FR 2900
respondents. The FR 2915 is the only
source of data on such deposits.
4. Report title: Allocation of Low
Reserve Tranche and Reservable
Liabilities Exemption.
Agency form number: FR 2930.
OMB control number: 7100–0088.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 32 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
15 minutes.
Number of respondents: 126.

the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
248(a), 461, 603, and 615) and
Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The
data are given confidential treatment (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 2930 provides
information on the allocation of the low
reserve tranche and the reservable
liabilities exemption for depository
institutions with offices in more than
one state or Federal Reserve District or
for those operating under operational
convenience. For calculation of required
reserves on net transaction accounts,
there is a low reserve tranche within
which deposits are reserved at a lower
reserve requirement ratio than are
amounts in excess of the low reserve
tranche. Within the low reserve tranche,
deposits under the reservable liabilities
exemption amount are reserved at zero.
All U.S. offices of the same parent
depository institution share one low
reserve tranche and one reservable
liabilities exemption. This report
provides the basis for allocating these
amounts across separate reporting
offices.
5. Report title: Supervisory and
Regulatory Survey.
Agency form number: FR 3052.
OMB control number: 7100–0322.
Frequency: On occasion.1
Reporters: Financial businesses.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
60,000 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
30 minutes.
Estimated number of respondents:
5,000.
General description of report: This
information collection is authorized
pursuant to the: Federal Reserve Act,
(12 U.S.C. 225a, 324, 263, 602, and 625);
Bank Holding Company Act, (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); International Banking Act of
1978, (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)); and Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, (12 U.S.C.
1817(a)). Generally, respondent
participation is voluntary. However,
with respect to collections of
information from state member banks,
bank holding companies (and their
subsidiaries), Edge and agreement
corporations, and U.S. branches and
agencies of foreign banks supervised by
the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve
could make the surveys mandatory. The
ability of the Federal Reserve to
maintain the confidentiality of
information provided by respondents to
the FR 3052 surveys is determined on a
case-by-case basis depending on the
type of information provided for a
particular survey. Depending upon the
survey questions, confidential treatment
could be warranted under subsections
(b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8) of the Freedom
of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4),
(6), and (8)).
Abstract: The supervision and policy
functions of Federal Reserve have
occasionally needed to gather data on an
ad-hoc basis from the banking and
financial industries on their financial
condition (outside of the standardized
regulatory reporting process) and
decisions that organizations have made
to adjust to the changes in the economy.
Further, the data may relate to a
particular business activity that requires
a more detailed presentation of the
information than is available through
regulatory reports [such as the (FFIEC
031 and FFIEC 041; OMB No. 7100–
0036) (FFIEC 002; OMB No. 7100–0032)
(FR 2886b; OMB No. 7100–0086), and
(FR Y–9C; OMB No. 7100–0128)]. These
data may be particularly needed in
times of critical economic or regulatory
changes or when issues of immediate
supervisory concern arise from Federal
Reserve supervisory initiatives and
working groups or requests from Board
Members and the Congress. 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
conducts the survey as needed up to 24
times per year. The frequency and
content of the questions depend on
changing economic, regulatory,
supervisory, or legislative
developments.
6. Report title: Consumer Financial
Stability Surveys.
Agency form number: FR 3053.
OMB control number: 7100–0323.
Frequency: On occasion.2
Reporters: Individuals, households,
and financial and non-financial
businesses.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
6,550 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
Consumer studies: Quantitative and
general studies, 0.5 hours; financial
institution consumers, .5 hours;
qualitative studies, 1.5 hours;
Financial institution study: Financial
institution staff, 1.5 hours; and
Stakeholder studies: Stakeholder
clientele, 0.5 hours; stakeholder staff,
1.5 hours.
Estimated number of respondents:
Consumer studies: Quantitative and
general studies, 2,000; financial
institution consumers, 500; qualitative
studies, 100;
Financial institution study: Financial
institution staff, 25; and
1 The Federal Reserve conducts the survey as

2 The Federal Reserve conducts the survey as
needed up to 20 times per year.

and Flood Disaster Protections Act of
1973, (42 U.S.C. 4012a). Additionally,
depending upon the survey respondent,
the information collection may be
authorized under a more specific
statute. Specifically, this information
collection is authorized pursuant to the:
Federal Reserve Act, Sections 2A, 9,
12A, 25, and 25A (12 U.S.C. 225a, 324,
263, 602, and 625); Bank Holding
Company Act, Section 5(c) (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); International Banking Act of
1978, Section 7(c)(2) (12 U.S.C.
3105(c)(2)); and Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, Section 7(a) (12 U.S.C.
1817(a)). Respondent participation in
these surveys is voluntary. The ability of
the Federal Reserve to maintain the
confidentiality of information provided
by respondents to the FR 3053 surveys
will be determined on a case-by-case
basis depending on the type of
information provided for a particular
survey. Depending upon the survey
questions, confidential treatment could
be warranted under the Freedom of
Information Act (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, informational,
and other responsibilities. The studies
are used to gather qualitative and
quantitative information directly from:
consumers (consumer studies), financial
institutions and other financial
companies offering consumer financial
products and services (financial
institution study), and other
stakeholders, such as state or local
agencies, community development
organizations, brokers, appraisers,
settlement agents, software vendors, and
consumer groups (stakeholder studies).
The Federal Reserve conducts the FR
3053 up to 20 times per year, although
the survey may not be conducted that
frequently. The frequency and content
of the questions depends on changing
economic, regulatory, or legislative
developments as well as changes in the
financial services industry itself.

Background and Brief Description
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
allotted $650 million to the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) to
support evidence-based prevention and
wellness strategies. The cornerstone of
the initiative is the Communities
Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW)
Community Program, administered by
the CDC. In March 2010, HHS made 44

additional awards made possible by
Affordable Care Act (ACA) funding.
Between the two funding sources, there
are 50 communities that are part of
CPPW: 28 are obesity only-funded
communities; 11 are dual-funded for
both obesity and tobacco initiatives; and
11 are tobacco only-funded.
CPPW awardees are implementing
interventions that they have selected
from a preselected group of evidencebased strategies that have been defined
for physical activity, nutrition, and
tobacco use. CPPW program efforts are
supported by a 30-month National
Prevention Media Initiative. Although
originally planned as a national
campaign, CDC determined that the best
support for the CPPW communities
would be to shift to a localized
approach. Thus, rather than a national
campaign, CDC and an evaluation
contractor worked with the
communities to develop media buy
plans and to place local media buys
from an approved pool of creative
materials. The media plans are being
tailored to best support each awardee’s
local efforts, including tailored media
mix, creative and timing. Each
community has a different schedule for
when the ads are running, but overall,
ads placed by the CPPW National Media
Initiative will run between February
2012 and December 2012.
CDC plans to conduct two cycles of
information collection to evaluate the
local media campaigns in 39 CPPW
communities that are addressing
obesity. Although we placed ads in all
50 communities, the Office on Smoking
and Health is already evaluating the
impact of tobacco media throughout the
United States, including in CPPW
communities. Therefore, the evaluation
study described in this information
collection request will concentrate on
the 39 CPPW communities addressing
obesity. Communities were initially
provided the opportunity to select from
twelve obesity prevention ads.
Additionally, some communities
requested CDC support in placing their
own ads to strengthen their locallybranded marketing efforts. The topics
addressed in all the ads that CDC placed
are childhood obesity, nutrition,
physical activity, and physical activity
and physical education in schools. The
intended audiences for these ads are the
general public, with many communities
focusing on parents, and specifically on
mothers.
CDC plans to conduct two cycles of
information collection: in Fall 2012 and
Winter/Spring 2013. Information will be
collected through brief telephone
interviews with adults in the 39 CPPW
communities that are focusing on

Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the extension for
three years, without revision, of the following reports:
1. Report title: Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and
Vault Cash.
Agency form number: FR 2900.
OMB control number: 7100-0087.
Frequency: Weekly and quarterly.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Estimated annual reporting hours: 549,878 hours.
Estimated average time per response: 3.50 hours.
Number of respondents: 2,669 weekly and 4,580 quarterly.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory by the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a), 461, 603, and
615) and Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The data are given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: Institutions with net transaction accounts greater than
the exemption amount are called nonexempt institutions. Institutions
with total transaction accounts, savings deposits, and small time
deposits greater than or equal to the reduced reporting limit,
regardless of the level of their net transaction accounts, are also
referred to as nonexempt institutions. Nonexempt institutions submit FR
2900 data either weekly or quarterly. An institution is required to
report weekly if its total transaction accounts, savings deposits, and
small time deposits are greater than or equal to the nonexempt deposit
cutoff. If the nonexempt institution's total transaction accounts,
savings deposits, and small time deposits are less than the nonexempt
deposit cutoff then the institution must report quarterly or may elect
to report weekly. U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks and
banking Edge and agreement corporations submit the FR 2900 data weekly,
regardless of their size. These mandatory data are used by the Federal
Reserve for administering Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of
Depository Institutions) and for constructing, analyzing, and
monitoring the monetary and reserve aggregates.
2. Report title: Annual Report of Deposits and Reservable
Liabilities.
Agency form number: FR 2910a.
OMB control number: 7100-0175.
Frequency: Annually.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 3,503 hours.
Estimated average time per response: 45 minutes.
Number of respondents: 4,670.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory by the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a) and 461) and
Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The data are given confidential
treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 2910a is an annual report generally filed by
depository institutions that are exempt from reserve requirements under
the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 and whose
total deposits, measured from depository institutions' December
quarterly condition reports, are greater than the exemption amount but
less than the reduced reporting limit. The report contains three data
items that are to be submitted for a single day, June 30: (1) Total
transaction accounts, savings deposits, and small time deposits; (2)
reservable liabilities; and (3) net transaction accounts. The data
collected on this report serves two purposes. First, the data are used
to determine which depository institutions will remain exempt from
reserve requirements and consequently eligible for reduced reporting
for another year. Second, the data are used in the annual indexation of
the low reserve tranche, the exemption amount, the nonexempt deposit
cutoff, and the reduced reporting limit. These mandatory data are used
by the Federal Reserve for administering Regulation D and for
constructing, analyzing, and monitoring the monetary and reserve
aggregates.
3. Report title: Report of Foreign (Non-U.S.) Currency Deposits.
Agency form number: FR 2915.
OMB control number: 7100-0237.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 284 hours.
Estimated average time per response: 30 minutes.
Number of respondents: 142.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory by the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a) and 347(d)) and
Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The data are given confidential
treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: All FR 2900 respondents, both weekly and quarterly, that
offer deposits denominated in foreign currencies at their U.S. offices
file the FR 2915. FR 2915 data are used to remove foreign currency
deposits from aggregated FR 2900 data in constructing the monetary
aggregates. All weekly and quarterly FR 2900 respondents offering
foreign currency deposits file the FR 2915 quarterly, on the same
reporting schedule as quarterly FR 2900 respondents. The FR 2915 is the
only source of data on such deposits.
4. Report title: Allocation of Low Reserve Tranche and Reservable
Liabilities Exemption.
Agency form number: FR 2930.
OMB control number: 7100-0088.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Reporters: Depository institutions.
Annual reporting hours: 32 hours.
Estimated average time per response: 15 minutes.
Number of respondents: 126.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory by
[[Page 30534]]
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a), 461, 603, and 615) and
Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The data are given confidential
treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The FR 2930 provides information on the allocation of the
low reserve tranche and the reservable liabilities exemption for
depository institutions with offices in more than one state or Federal
Reserve District or for those operating under operational convenience.
For calculation of required reserves on net transaction accounts, there
is a low reserve tranche within which deposits are reserved at a lower
reserve requirement ratio than are amounts in excess of the low reserve
tranche. Within the low reserve tranche, deposits under the reservable
liabilities exemption amount are reserved at zero. All U.S. offices of
the same parent depository institution share one low reserve tranche
and one reservable liabilities exemption. This report provides the
basis for allocating these amounts across separate reporting offices.
5. Report title: Supervisory and Regulatory Survey.
Agency form number: FR 3052.
OMB control number: 7100-0322.
Frequency: On occasion.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Federal Reserve conducts the survey as needed up to 24
times per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporters: Financial businesses.
Estimated annual reporting hours: 60,000 hours.
Estimated average time per response: 30 minutes.
Estimated number of respondents: 5,000.
General description of report: This information collection is
authorized pursuant to the: Federal Reserve Act, (12 U.S.C. 225a, 324,
263, 602, and 625); Bank Holding Company Act, (12 U.S.C. 1844(c));
International Banking Act of 1978, (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)); and Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, (12 U.S.C. 1817(a)). Generally, respondent
participation is voluntary. However, with respect to collections of
information from state member banks, bank holding companies (and their
subsidiaries), Edge and agreement corporations, and U.S. branches and
agencies of foreign banks supervised by the Federal Reserve, the
Federal Reserve could make the surveys mandatory. The ability of the
Federal Reserve to maintain the confidentiality of information provided
by respondents to the FR 3052 surveys is determined on a case-by-case
basis depending on the type of information provided for a particular
survey. Depending upon the survey questions, confidential treatment
could be warranted under subsections (b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8) of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (6), and (8)).
Abstract: The supervision and policy functions of Federal Reserve
have occasionally needed to gather data on an ad-hoc basis from the
banking and financial industries on their financial condition (outside
of the standardized regulatory reporting process) and decisions that
organizations have made to adjust to the changes in the economy.
Further, the data may relate to a particular business activity that
requires a more detailed presentation of the information than is
available through regulatory reports [such as the (FFIEC 031 and FFIEC
041; OMB No. 7100-0036) (FFIEC 002; OMB No. 7100-0032) (FR 2886b; OMB
No. 7100-0086), and (FR Y-9C; OMB No. 7100-0128)]. These data may be
particularly needed in times of critical economic or regulatory changes
or when issues of immediate supervisory concern arise from Federal
Reserve supervisory initiatives and working groups or requests from
Board Members and the Congress. 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 conducts the survey as needed up
to 24 times per year. The frequency and content of the questions depend
on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative
developments.
6. Report title: Consumer Financial Stability Surveys.
Agency form number: FR 3053.
OMB control number: 7100-0323.
Frequency: On occasion.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Federal Reserve conducts the survey as needed up to 20
times per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporters: Individuals, households, and financial and non-financial
businesses.
Estimated annual reporting hours: 6,550 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
Consumer studies: Quantitative and general studies, 0.5 hours;
financial institution consumers, .5 hours; qualitative studies, 1.5
hours;
Financial institution study: Financial institution staff, 1.5
hours; and
Stakeholder studies: Stakeholder clientele, 0.5 hours; stakeholder
staff, 1.5 hours.
Estimated number of respondents:
Consumer studies: Quantitative and general studies, 2,000;
financial institution consumers, 500; qualitative studies, 100;
Financial institution study: Financial institution staff, 25; and
Stakeholder studies: Stakeholder clientele, 500; stakeholder staff,
100.
General description of report: This information collection is
authorized pursuant to the: Community Reinvestment Act, (12 U.S.C.
2905); Competitive Equality Banking Act, (12 U.S.C. 3806); Expedited
Funds Availability Act, (12 U.S.C. 4008); Truth in Lending Act, (15
U.S.C. 1604); Fair Credit Reporting Act, (15 U.S.C. 1681s(e)); Equal
Credit Opportunity Act, (15 U.S.C. 1691b); Electronic Funds Transfer
Act, (15 U.S.C. 1693b); Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, (15 U.S.C. 6801(b));
and Flood Disaster Protections Act of 1973, (42 U.S.C. 4012a).
Additionally, depending upon the survey respondent, the information
collection may be authorized under a more specific statute.
Specifically, this information collection is authorized pursuant to
the: Federal Reserve Act, Sections 2A, 9, 12A, 25, and 25A (12 U.S.C.
225a, 324, 263, 602, and 625); Bank Holding Company Act, Section 5(c)
(12 U.S.C. 1844(c)); International Banking Act of 1978, Section 7(c)(2)
(12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)); and Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Section 7(a)
(12 U.S.C. 1817(a)). Respondent participation in these surveys is
voluntary. The ability of the Federal Reserve to maintain the
confidentiality of information provided by respondents to the FR 3053
surveys will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the
type of information provided for a particular survey. Depending upon
the survey questions, confidential treatment could be warranted under
the Freedom of Information Act (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, informational, and other
responsibilities. The studies are used to gather qualitative and
quantitative information directly from: consumers (consumer studies),
financial institutions and other financial companies offering consumer
financial products and services (financial institution study), and
other stakeholders, such as state or local agencies, community
development organizations, brokers, appraisers, settlement agents,
software vendors, and consumer groups (stakeholder studies). The
Federal Reserve conducts the FR 3053 up to 20 times per year, although
the survey may not be conducted that frequently. The frequency and
content of the questions depends on changing economic, regulatory, or
legislative developments as well as changes in the financial services
industry itself.
