Discontinuation of the following

report:

1. Report title: Monthly Survey of

Selected Deposits and Annual

Supplement to the Monthly Survey of

Selected Deposits

Agency form number: FR 2042 and FR

2042a

OMB Control number: 7100-0066

Effective Date: immediately; data as-of

September 30, 1997 will be the last

collected

Frequency: monthly (FR 2042) and

annual (FR 2042a)

Reporters: commercial banks and

savings banks insured by the Bank

Insurance Fund (BIF)

Annual reporting hours: 6,300 (FR 2042)

and 525 (FR 2042a)

Estimated average hours per response:

1.0

Number of respondents: 525

Small businesses are affected.

General description of report: This

information collection has been

voluntary (12 U.S.C. § 248(a)(2)). For the

FR 2042, the individual respondent data

on amounts outstanding and on interest

expense have been given confidential

treatment (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4)).

Individual respondent information on

interest rates paid on deposits has been

made available to the public on request.

Data from the FR 2042a have not been

accorded confidential status.

Abstract: These reports have collected

information on the structure and pricing

of deposit accounts from a stratified

sample of 525 commercial and BIFinsured savings banks. Results of the

monthly survey have been published

once a month in a supplementary table

included in the Board’s H.6 statistical

release, Money Stock, Liquid Assets, and

Debt Measures.

The Federal Reserve has used FR 2042

and FR 2042a data in a number of ways,

including construction and

interpretation of the monetary

aggregates, measuring elasticities in

money demand equations, and assessing

the changing behavior of banks in

pricing deposit accounts. However,

innovations in retail products and

pricing have reduced the accuracy and

usefulness of the data collected in the

underlying survey. Discontinuing the

survey will produce cost savings for the

Federal Reserve and reduce the

reporting burden on depository

institutions. Data on retail deposit rates

can be obtained from private sector

vendors.

The public’s use of FR 2042 data

appears to be minimal.
