performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

80.413 require the licensee of an onboard station to keep equipment records
which show:
(1) The ship name and identification
of the on-board station;
(2) The number of and type of
repeater and mobile units used on-board
the vessel; and
(3) The date the type of equipment
which is added or removed from the onboard station.
The information is used by FCC
personnel during inspections and
investigations to determine what mobile
units and repeaters are associated with
on-board stations aboard a particular

responsible for its operation.
Enforcement and frequency
management programs would be
negatively affected if the information
were not retained.

Proposal under OMB Delegated
Authority to Extend for Three Years,
With Revision, the Following
Information Collection
Report title: Reports of Deposits:
Report of Transaction Accounts, Other
Deposits, and Vault Cash; Annual
Report of Deposits and Reservable
Liabilities; Report of Foreign (Non-U.S.)

Agency form number: FR 2900; FR

General description of report: Data
from these mandatory reports are used
by the Board for administering reserve
requirements and for constructing,
analyzing, and monitoring the monetary
aggregates. The FR 2900 is the primary
source of data for the construction and
analysis of the monetary aggregates and
was used for the calculation of required
reserves and applied vault cash. The FR
2910a report has been a key data source
for determining which depository
institutions need to file the FR 2900. FR
2900 respondents that offer deposits
denominated in foreign currencies at
their U.S. offices file the FR 2915.
Foreign currency deposits are subject to
reserve requirements and, therefore, are
included in the FR 2900 data. However,
because foreign currency deposits are
not included in the monetary aggregates,
the FR 2915 data are used to net foreign
currency-denominated deposits from
the FR 2900 data to exclude them from
measures of the monetary aggregates.
The FR 2930 data are used in the
calculation of reserve requirements;
typically, depository institutions file
this report after being informed of
updates to key reserve requirement
thresholds toward the end of each
calendar year or upon the establishment
of an office outside the home state or
Federal Reserve District.
Proposed revisions: The Board
proposes to take steps to reduce
reporting burden associated with
reserve requirements by discontinuing
the collection of the FR 2910a and FR
2930, ceasing the quarterly collection of
the FR 2900, and refocusing items on
the weekly collection of the FR 2900
and the FR 2915 to those that support
the construction and analysis of the
monetary aggregates.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The FR 2900 report and
the FR 2915 report are authorized to be
collected from depository institutions
(commercial banks, credit unions, and
savings and loan associations) pursuant
to section 11(a)(2) of the Federal Reserve
Act (FRA); from agreement corporations
pursuant to section 25(5) and (7) of the
FRA and section 604a of the FRA; from
banking Edge corporations pursuant to
section 25A(17) of the FRA; and from
branches and agencies of foreign banks
pursuant to section 7 of the
International Banking Act. The FR 2900
and FR 2915 are mandatory.
The data collected under the FR 2900
is considered confidential commercial
and financial information, and
respondents are assured that the data
being collected will be treated as
confidential by the Federal Reserve
PO 00000

(except that aggregate data, which does
not identify any individual institution,
may be disclosed). Accordingly, the data
collected on these reports is considered
confidential pursuant to exemption 4 of
the Freedom of Information Act, which
protects confidential commercial or
financial information from public
disclosure.
