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

System, January 28, 2021.
