Consumer Installment Loans; Quarterly

Report of Credit Card Plans

Agency form numbers: FR 2835, FR

2835a

OMB Control number: 7100-0085

Effective Date: The November 1997

reporting period

Frequency: Quarterly

Reporters: Commercial banks

Annual reporting hours: 90 (FR 2835),

200 (FR 2835a)

Estimated average hours per response:

0.15 (FR 2835), 0.50 (FR 2835a)

Number of respondents: 150 (FR 2835),

100 (FR 2835a)

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of reports: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248(a)(2)). The FR 2835 is not

given confidential treatment, and the FR

2835a is given confidential treatment

under the Freedom of Information Act

(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).

Abstract: The FR 2835 collects the

most common interest rate (largest

dollar volume of loans) charged at a

sample of commercial banks on two

types of consumer loans made in a given

week each quarter: new auto loans and

other loans for consumer goods and

personal expenditures. The FR 2835a

collects two measures of average credit

card interest rates from a sample of

commercial banks. The information,

together with information obtained from

other Federal Reserve reports and from

secondary sources, is used to construct

information on consumer credit for

current analysis for monetary policy

purposes. On the FR 2835, the Federal

Reserve redefined interest rates on loans

for new automobiles (item 1) to include

rates on loans to purchase light trucks

for personal use and reduced the

authorized panel size from 175 to 150

commercial banks. On the FR 2835a, the

Federal Reserve reduced the authorized

panel size from 150 to 100 commercial

banks.

3. Report title: Monthly Survey of

Industrial Electricity Use

Agency form numbers: FR 2009a, FR

2009b

OMB Control number: 7100-0057

Effective Date: Reporting month ending

October 31, 1997

Frequency: Monthly

Reporters: Public and privately owned

electric utilities (FR 2009a) and

cogenerators (FR 2009b)

Annual reporting hours: 3,384

Estimated average hours per response:

Number of respondents: 183 (FR 2009a),

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of reports: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 225a, 263, 353 et seq., and 461)

and is given confidential treatment

under the Freedom of Information Act

(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).

Abstract: These surveys have

collected information on the volume of

electric power sold during the month to

classes of industrial customers. The

electric power data are used in deriving

the Federal Reserve’s monthly index of

industrial production (IP) as well as for

calculating the monthly estimates of

electric power used by industry. The

electric utility industry is currently

restructuring in response to

deregulation at the federal and state

levels. The Federal Reserve revised the

FR 2009a such that respondents will

report the amount of power delivered to

industrial customers, instead of power

sold, so that utilities will continue to

report all power consumed by industrial

customers connected to their facilities.

The FR 2009b was not revised.

Final approval under OMB delegated

authority of the extension for three

years, without revision, of the following

report:

General description of report: This

3105(b)(2)) and is given confidential

treatment under the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).

Abstract: This package of reports

collects information on: deposits and

related items from depository

institutions that have transaction

accounts or nonpersonal time deposits

and that are not fully exempt from

reserve requirements (‘‘nonexempt

institutions’’) (FR 2900); Eurocurrency

transactions from depository

institutions that obtain funds from

foreign (non-U.S.) sources or that

maintain foreign branches (FR 2950, FR

2951); and selected items on the FR

2900 in advance from samples of

nonexempt institutions on a daily basis

(FR 2000) and on a weekly basis (FR

2001). The Federal Reserve has raised

the deposit cutoff used to determine

weekly versus quarterly FR 2900

reporting (the ‘‘nonexempt deposit

cutoff’’) above its indexed level of $59.3

million to $75.0 million. The higher

cutoff will result in a potential shift of

almost 1,000 reporters from weekly to

quarterly FR 2900 reporting and a

significant reduction in annual

reporting burden. No revisions to the

content of any of the reports have been

made. Information provided by these

reports is used for administering

Regulation D—Reserve Requirements of

Depository Institutions; or for

constructing, analyzing, and controlling

the monetary and reserves aggregates; or

both.

Expert Panel Workshop

The Agency for Toxic Substances and

Disease Registry announces the

following workshop.

Name: Expert Panel Workshop on the

Feasibility of Measuring Stress Related

to Exposure to Hazardous Waste.

Times and Dates: 7:30 a.m.–6:15 p.m.,

September 10, 1997. 8 a.m–12 noon,

September 11, 1997.

Place: The D. Abbott Turner Center at

Emory University, 1703 Clifton Road,

NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30329, telephone

Status: Open to the public, limited

only by the space available. The meeting

room accommodates approximately 175

people.

Purpose: The Agency for Toxic

Substances and Disease Registry

(ATSDR) is considering the feasibility of

measuring stress related to exposure to

hazardous waste sites and releases. The

purpose of the expert panel workshop is

to provide a forum for ATSDR to solicit

individual expert consultation on issues

of science and public health practice

regarding the best means to assess levels

of psychosocial stress in communities

affected by hazardous waste sites and

releases. The workshop will also

provide a forum for scientists, public

health officials, and community

members to discuss the ethical and

social issues associated with measuring

stress at hazardous waste sites and the

implications for public health policy.

Matters To Be Considered: Expert

panel members will be assigned into

two work groups: (1) Stress

Measurement Panel and (2) Community

and Public Health Panel. The two

groups will meet concurrently during

the workshop. The following tasks will

be suggested: (1) examine current

research approaches and assessment

tools for the measurement of

psychosocial stress at hazardous waste

sites and identify the most effective

methods for assessing psychosocial

stress at these sites and (2) discuss the

social and ethical issues of measuring

stress in communities affected by

hazardous waste and the implications

for public health policy.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.
