36698 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 112 / Friday, June 9, 2000 / Notices

Reporters: U.S.-chartered commercial

banks, U.S. branches and agencies of

foreign banks, and thrift institutions.

Annual reporting hours: 2,754 hours.

Estimated average hours per response:

30 minutes.

Number of respondents: 84 weekly,

153 quarterly, and 528 annually.

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248(a)(2) and 3105(b)) and is

given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(4)).

Abstract: This report collects one data

item—repurchase agreements (RPs) in

denominations of $100,000 or more, in

immediately-available funds, on U.S.

government and federal agency

securities, transacted with specified

holders. It is filed by three reporting

panels of depository institutions with

different reporting frequencies (weekly,

quarterly, and annual). The weekly

panel reports daily data once each week.

The quarterly panel files daily data for

four one-week reporting periods that

contain quarter-end dates. The annual

panel reports daily data only for the

week encompassing June 30 each year.

Data from the FR 2415 supply

information necessary for construction

of the M3 monetary aggregate.

Current Actions: The Federal Reserve

has made two changes to this report: (1)

Raised the thresholds for re-screening

existing respondents on two of the three

reporting panels (weekly and quarterly)

and (2) adjusted the cutoff for screening

thrift institutions that do not file the FR

2415 to accommodate a definition

change on the report of condition for

thrift institutions. The Federal Reserve

estimates the revision will decrease the

annual reporting burden by 314 hours

and annual respondent costs by

approximately $6,280.

System, June 5, 2000.
