General description of report: The
Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and
Regulation Z promote the informed use
of credit to consumers for personal,
family, or household purposes by
requiring disclosures about its terms
and costs, as well as ensure that
consumers are provided with timely
information on the nature and costs of
the residential real estate settlement
process.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The disclosure,
recordkeeping, and other requirements
of Regulation Z are authorized by TILA,
which directs the Bureau and, for
certain lenders, the Board to issue
regulations implementing the statute.
The obligation to respond is mandatory.
The disclosures, records, policies and
procedures required by Regulation Z are
not required to be submitted to the
Board. To the extent such information is
obtained by the Board through the

examination process, they may be kept
confidential under exemption 8 of the
Freedom of Information Act, which
protects information contained in or
related to an examination of a financial
institution.5
Current actions: On April 16, 2021,
the Board published an initial notice in
the Federal Register (86 FR 20156)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, with revision, of the
FR Z. The Board proposed to revise FR
Z to: (1) Add burden related to
disclosure requirements in rules issued
by the Bureau since the Board’s last
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
submission, as well as for one
information collection for which the
Bureau estimates burden but the Board
previously did not; (2) break out and
clarify burden estimates that were
previously consolidated; and (3)
eliminate burden associated with
certain requirements because the Bureau
accounts for burden for the entire
industry, or because the burden is now
deemed de minimis or a part of an
institution’s usual and customary
business practices. The comment period
for this notice expired on June 15, 2021.
The Board did not receive any
comments. The revisions will be
implemented as proposed.

General description of report: The FR
3033p is a census survey designed to
identify the universe of finance
companies eligible for potential
inclusion in the FR 3033s and to enable
the stratification of the sample for more
statistically efficient estimation. The FR

questions to assess the company’s asset

company structure, and licensing
authority.

Estimated average hours per response:

Estimated annual burden hours: 900.
General description of report: From
the universe of finance companies
identified by the Census of Finance
Companies and Other Lenders (FR
3033p), a sample of finance companies
will be invited to fill out FR 3033s.
From these finance companies, the FR
3033s collects balance sheet data on
major categories of consumer and
business credit receivables and major
liabilities. In addition, the survey may
be used to gather information on topics
that are pertinent to increasing the
Federal Reserve’s understanding of the
finance companies.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The FR 3033p and FR
3033s are authorized pursuant to
sections 2A and 12A of the Federal
Reserve Act (FRA). Section 2A 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
Under section 12A of the FRA, the
Federal Open Market Committee 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 Information
collected from the FR 3033p and FR
3033s is used to fulfill these obligations.
The FR 3033p and FR 3033s are
voluntary. The information collected
pursuant to the FR 3033p and FR 3033s
may be treated as confidential pursuant
to exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act,3 which protects
information that is both customarily and
actually treated as private by the
respondent.

Board published a notice in the Federal
Register (86 FR 28105) requesting
public comment for 60 days on the
extension, with revision, of the Census
of Finance Companies and Survey of
Finance Companies. Board staff
proposed revising the FR 3033s to
improve clarity, simplify the form
overall, and collect additional
information on the COVID–19 impacts
on lending activities. The Board did not
propose any revisions to the FR 3033p.
The FR 3033s revisions are effective for
the proposed September 2021 survey
date. The comment period for this

Board did not receive any comments.
The revisions will be implemented as
