Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board’s Legal Division has determined that these surveys are authorized by section 11(a)(2) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a)(2)) which authorizes the Board to require any depository institution to make such reports of its assets and liabilities as the Board may determine to be necessary or desirable to enable the Board to discharge its responsibility to monitor and control monetary and credit aggregates. The reports are voluntary. Individual responses reported on the FR 2028A, FR 2028B, FR 2028D, and FR 2028S are regarded as confidential under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Current actions: On April 21, 2017, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (82 FR 18759) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 2028. The Federal Reserve proposed to (1) discontinue the FR 2028A, (2) create a new Small Business Lending Survey (FR 2028D) that would provide focused and enhanced information on small business lending including rates, terms, credit availability, and reasons for their changes (in contrast to the individual loan data collected on the FR 2028A, the FR 2028D would collect quarterly average quantitative data on terms of small business loans and qualitative information on changes and the reasons for changes in the terms of lending), and (3) rename the STL the Survey of Small Business and Farm Lending (SSBFL) to more accurately describe the data collection. No changes were proposed to the FR 2028B and FR 2028S. The comment period for this notice expired on June 20, 2017. The Board did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, July 5, 2017. Ann E. Misback, Secretary of the Board.
