Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, Without Revision, the Following Information Collection Report title: Senior Financial Officer Surveys. Agency form number: FR 2023. OMB control number: 7100–0223. Frequency: Up to four times a year. Respondents: Domestically chartered large depository institutions and foreign banking organizations. Estimated number of respondents: 80. Estimated average hours per response: 3. Estimated annual burden hours: 960. General description of report: The Board uses the surveys in this collection to gather 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. Although a survey may not be collected in a given year, the Board may conduct up to four surveys per year when 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. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR 2023 is authorized by sections 2A, 12A, and 11 of the Federal Reserve Act (‘‘FRA’’).1 Section 2A of the FRA requires that the Board and the Federal Open Market Committee (‘‘FOMC’’) maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy’s long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively 1 31 E:\FR\FM\03FEN1.SGM U.S.C. 5364(a). 03FEN1 8016 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 21 / Wednesday, February 3, 2021 / Notices the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.2 Section 12A of the FRA further requires the FOMC to implement regulations relating to the open market operations conducted by Federal Reserve Banks ‘‘with a view to accommodating commerce and business and with regard to their bearing upon the general credit situation of the country.’’ 3 Section 11 of the FRA authorizes the Board to require reports from each member bank as it may deem necessary and authorizes the Board to prescribe reports of liabilities and assets from insured depository institutions to enable the Board to discharge its responsibility to monitor and control monetary and credit aggregates.4 The Board and FOMC use the information obtained through the FR 2023 to discharge these responsibilities. Survey submissions under the FR 2023 are voluntary. The questions asked on each survey will vary. The Board’s ability to keep confidential responses to the FR 2023 must therefore be determined on a caseby-case basis. Much of the information collected is likely to constitute nonpublic commercial or financial information, which is both customarily and actually treated as private by the respondent, so may be kept confidential by the Board pursuant to exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’).5 Some survey responses may also contain information contained in or related to an examination of a financial institution, which may be kept confidential under exemption 8 of the FOIA.6 Responses to the FR 2023 are tabulated and summarized at the Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This aggregate information is not considered confidential, and a report containing summary data is published on the Board’s public website.7 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 28, 2021.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, 
Without Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Report title: Senior Financial Officer Surveys.
    Agency form number: FR 2023.
    OMB control number: 7100-0223.
    Frequency: Up to four times a year.
    Respondents: Domestically chartered large depository institutions 
and foreign banking organizations.
    Estimated number of respondents: 80.
    Estimated average hours per response: 3.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 960.
    General description of report: The Board uses the surveys in this 
collection to gather 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. Although a survey may not be collected in a 
given year, the Board may conduct up to four surveys per year when 
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.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR 2023 is authorized 
by sections 2A, 12A, and 11 of the Federal Reserve Act (``FRA'').\1\ 
Section 2A of the FRA requires that the Board and the Federal Open 
Market Committee (``FOMC'') maintain long run growth of the monetary 
and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run 
potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively

[[Page 8016]]

the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term 
interest rates.\2\ Section 12A of the FRA further requires the FOMC to 
implement regulations relating to the open market operations conducted 
by Federal Reserve Banks ``with a view to accommodating commerce and 
business and with regard to their bearing upon the general credit 
situation of the country.'' \3\ Section 11 of the FRA authorizes the 
Board to require reports from each member bank as it may deem necessary 
and authorizes the Board to prescribe reports of liabilities and assets 
from insured depository institutions to enable the Board to discharge 
its responsibility to monitor and control monetary and credit 
aggregates.\4\ The Board and FOMC use the information obtained through 
the FR 2023 to discharge these responsibilities.

    The questions asked on each survey will vary. The Board's ability

is likely to constitute nonpublic commercial or financial information, 
which is both customarily and actually treated as private by the 
respondent, so may be kept confidential by the Board pursuant to 
exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (``FOIA'').\5\ Some 
survey responses may also contain information contained in or related 
to an examination of a financial institution, which may be kept 
confidential under exemption 8 of the FOIA.\6\ Responses to the FR 2023 
are tabulated and summarized at the Board and the Federal Reserve Bank 
of New York. This aggregate information is not considered confidential,
