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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
15, 1984, OMB delegated to the Board
authority under the PRA to approve and
assign OMB control numbers to
collections of information conducted or
sponsored by the Board. In exercising
this delegated authority, the Board is
directed to take every reasonable step to
solicit comment. In determining
whether to approve a collection of
information, the Board will consider all
comments received from the public and
other agencies.
A copy of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) OMB submission, including
the reporting form and instructions,
supporting statement, and other
documentation will be available at
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain, if approved. These
documents will also be made available
on the Board’s public website at https://
www.federalreserve.gov/apps/
reportforms/review.aspx or may be
requested from the agency clearance
officer, whose name appears above.
Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on
the following information collection,
which is being reviewed under
authority delegated by the OMB under
the PRA. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Board’s functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Board’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of
information collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs
and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.
At the end of the comment period, the
comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the Board should
modify the proposal.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated
Authority To Extend for Three Years,
Without Revision, the Following
Information Collection
Report title: Survey of Consumer
Finances.
Agency form number: FR 3059.
OMB control number: 7100–0287.
Frequency: Triennial.
Respondents: U.S. families.
Estimated number of respondents:
Pretest, 150; Main survey, 7,000.
Estimated average hours per response:
Pretest, 100 minutes; Main survey, 100
minutes.
Estimated annual burden hours:
Pretest, 250 hours; Main survey, 11,667
hours.
General description of report: This
triennial survey is the only source of
representative information on the
structure of U.S. families’ finances. The
survey would collect data on the assets,
debts, income, work history, pension
rights, use of financial services, and
attitudes of a sample of U.S. families.
Because the ownership of some assets is
relatively concentrated in a small
number of families, the survey would
make a special effort to ensure proper
representation of such assets by
systematically oversampling wealthier
families.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: Section 2A of the
Federal Reserve Act (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
the goals of maximum employment,
stable prices, and moderate long-term
interest rates.1 In addition, under
section 12A of the FRA, the FOMC is
required 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.’’ 2 The Board
and the FOMC use the information
obtained from the FR 3059 to help fulfill
these obligations. The FR 3059 is a
voluntary survey.
Consultation outside the agency: The
final survey questionnaire would be
developed jointly by the Board and the
contractor. The contractor would
conduct the computer based interviews
for this survey. The data to support the
part of the survey sample selected by
the Board would be provided by the

Statistics of Income Division (SOI) of
the Internal Revenue Service under a
contract that allows this use of the data
as well as other more limited uses of the
data for statistical adjustments to the
final data and related purposes. As in
past surveys, the sample selection and
survey administration would be
managed so that the Board would not be
given any names of survey participants;
SOI would not be given data to link
survey responses with tax records; and
the contractor would not be given
income data derived from the tax
returns.
It is expected that the data collected
would be published in summary form in
the Federal Reserve Bulletin in 2023. A
version of the microdata, which would
be altered to protect the identity of
individual respondents, would be made
available to the public through the
Board’s public website. None of the
pretest data would be released to the
public. The information collected on the
FR 3059 that identifies the individual
respondents may be exempt from
disclosure under exemption 6 of the
Freedom of Information Act, which
protects information the disclosure of
which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.3
