The purpose of TISA and its implementing regulation is to assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of fees, the annual percentage yield (APY), and other account terms. TISA requires depository institutions to disclose key terms for deposit accounts at account opening, upon request, when certain changes in terms occur, and in periodic statements. It also includes rules about advertising for deposit accounts. TISA does not provide exemptions from compliance for small institutions. Legal authorization and confidentiality: Section 269 of TISA specifically authorizes the CFPB ‘‘to prescribe regulations’’ to carry out the purposes and provisions of the Act, as well as to adopt model forms and clauses for common disclosures to facilitate compliance. Regulation DD implements this statutory provision. The Board’s imposition of the disclosure requirements on Board-supervised PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 institutions is authorized by Section 270 of TISA.

Respondents: Domestically chartered large commercial banks and large U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. Estimated number of respondents: Main surveys, 104; Special surveys, 104. Estimated average hours per response: 2. Estimated annual burden hours: Main surveys, 832; Special surveys, 416. General description of report: The FR 2018 is conducted with a senior loan officer at each respondent bank, generally through electronic submission, up to six times a year. The purpose of the survey is to provide qualitative and limited quantitative information on credit availability and demand, as well as evolving developments and lending practices in the U.S. loan markets. A portion of each survey typically covers special topics of timely interest. There is the option to survey other types of respondents (such as other depository institutions, bank holding companies, or other financial entities) should the need arise. The FR 2018 survey provides crucial information for monitoring and understanding the evolution of lending practices at banks and developments in credit markets. Legal authorization and confidentiality: Section 2A of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) requires the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to 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 and section 12A of the FRA 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 1 12 U.S.C. 225a.

In addition, section 11 of the FRA, which permits the Board to examine at its discretion the accounts, books, and affairs of each Federal Reserve Bank and each member bank and to require such statements and reports as it may deem necessary, authorizes the collection of information from depository institutions 3 and section 7 of the International Banking Act authorizes the collection of information from branches and agencies of foreign banks.4 Survey submissions under the FR 2018 are voluntary. Although the specific questions to be asked on each survey have not yet been formulated, the questions are designed to obtain information that is customarily and actually treated as private by the institution. Thus, the individual survey responses from each respondent may be held confidential under exemption (4) of the Freedom of Information Act.5 However, certain data from the survey is publically reported in aggregate form, and the information in aggregate form is made publicly available and not considered confidential. Current actions: On October 14, 2020, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 65045) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the FR 2018.

    General description of report: The FR 2018 is conducted with a

necessary, authorizes the collection of information from depository
