Final Approval Under OMB Delegated 

Authority of the Extension for Three 

Years, Without Revision, of the 

Following Reports 

1. Report title: Microeconomic 

Survey. 

Agency form number: FR 3051. 

OMB control number: 7100–0321. 

Frequency: Annually and monthly, as 

needed. 

Reporters: Individuals, households, 

and financial and non-financial 

businesses. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

Annual, 6,000 hours; Monthly, 18,000 

hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Annual, 60 minutes; Monthly, 30 

minutes. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

Annual, 6,000; Monthly, 3,000. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary 

(12 U.S.C. 225A and 263). If needed, the 

Federal Reserve can make this survey 

mandatory for Federal Reserve regulated 

institutions under section 9 of the 

Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324) for 

state member banks; section 5(c) of the 

Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 

1844(c)) for bank holding companies 

and their subsidiaries; sections 25 and 

25(A) of the Federal Reserve Act 

(12 U.S.C. 602 and 625) for Edge and 

agreement corporations; and section 

7(c)(2) of the International Banking Act 

of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)) for U.S. 

branches and agencies of foreign banks. 

Generally, when the survey or study is 

conducted by an outside firm, names or 

other such directly identifying 

characteristics would not be reported to 

the Federal Reserve. In circumstances 

where identifying information is 

provided to the Federal Reserve, such 

information could possibly be protected 

from Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) disclosure by exemptions 4 and 

6 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (6)). 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses 

this event-driven survey to obtain 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory, 

regulatory, operational, and other 

responsibilities. The Federal Reserve 

can conduct the FR 3051 up to 13 times 

per year (one survey on an annual basis 

and another on a monthly basis). The 

frequency and content of the questions 

depend on changing economic, 

regulatory, or legislative developments. 

2. Report title: Recordkeeping 

Requirements Associated with Real 

Estate Appraisal Standards for Federally 

Related Transactions Pursuant to 

Regulations H and Y. 

Agency form number: FR H–4. 

OMB control number: 7100–0250. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Reporters: State Member Banks 

(SMBs) and nonbank subsidiaries of 

Bank Holding Companies (BHCs). 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

SMBs, 30,488 hours; nonbank 

subsidiaries of BHCs, 11,494 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

SMBs, 0.25; nonbank subsidiaries of 

BHCs, 0.25. 

Number of respondents: SMBs, 824; 

nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs, 613. 

General description of report: The 

recordkeeping requirements of this 

information collection are mandatory 

(12 U.S.C. 3339). Since the Federal 

Reserve does not collect this 

information, confidentiality not 

generally be an issue. However, if the 

Federal Reserve were to collect a copy 

of the appraisal report during an 

examination, the documents could be 

exempt from disclosure under FOIA (5 

U.S.C 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). 

Abstract: For federally related 

transactions, Title XI of the Financial 

Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 

Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) 

requires SMBs and BHCs with credit 

extending nonbank subsidiaries to use 

appraisals prepared in accordance with 

the Uniform Standards of Professional 

Appraisal Practice promulgated by the 

Appraisal Standards Board of the 

Appraisal Foundation. Generally, these 

standards include the methods and 

techniques used to analyze a property as 

well as the requirements for reporting 

such analysis and a value conclusion in 

the appraisal. SMBs and BHCs with 

credit-extending nonbank subsidiaries 

are expected to maintain records that 

demonstrate that appraisals used in 

their real estate-related lending 

activities comply with these regulatory 

requirements. There is no formal 

reporting form. 

3. Report title: Request for Proposal 

(RFP) and Request for Price Quotations 

(RFPQ). 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Notices 21561 

Agency form number: RFP/RFPQ. 

OMB control number: 7100–0180. 

Frequency: On-occasion. 

Reporters: Vendors and suppliers. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

RFP, 7,000 hours; RFPQ, 1,700 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

RFP, 50 hours; RFPQ, 2 hours. 

Number of respondents: RFP, 140; 

RFPQ, 850. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required to 

obtain a benefit and is authorized by 

Sections 10(3), 10(4), and 11(1) of the 

Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 243, 244, 

and 248(l)). Proposals from vendors that 

are not accepted and incorporated into 

contracts with the Federal Reserve 

would be protected from FOIA 

disclosure by (41 U.S.C. 4702), which 

expressly prohibits FOIA disclosure of 

these proposals. Moreover, during the 

solicitation process vendors are 

permitted to mark information 

contained in their proposals that is 

proprietary or confidential with the 

label RESTRICTED DATA. For 

information so marked, the Federal 

Reserve also may determine on a caseby-case basis whether FOIA exemption 

4, which applies to ‘‘trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information,’’ 

would protect information from 

disclosure pursuant to a FOIA request 

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

Abstract: The Federal Reserve Board 

uses the RFP and the RFPQ as 

appropriate to obtain competitive 

proposals and contracts from approved 

vendors of goods and services. This 

information collection is required to 

collect data on prices, specifications of 

goods and services, and qualifications of 

prospective vendors. 

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated 

Authority To Conduct Following Survey 

Report title: 2013 Survey of Consumer 

Finances (SCF). 

Agency form number: FR 3059. 

OMB control number: 7100–0287. 

Frequency: One-time survey. 

Reporters: U.S. families. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

8,938 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Pretest, 75 minutes; and Main survey, 

75 minutes. 

Number of respondents: Pretest, 150; 

and Main survey, 7,000. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary (12 

U.S.C. 225a and 263). The names and 

other characteristics that would directly 

identify respondents would be retained 

by the Federal Reserve’s contractor and 

are exempt from disclosure pursuant to 

the Confidential Information Protection 

and Statistical Efficiency Act and 

section (b)(3) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552 

(b)(3)). 

Abstract: This would be the eleventh 

triennial SCF since 1983, the beginning 

of the current series. This 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. 

Current Actions: On February 1, 2012, 

the Federal Reserve published a notice 

in the Federal Register (77 FR 5015) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the FR 3051, RFP/RFPQ, FR H–4, 

and FR 3059 proposals. The comment 

period for this notice expired on April 

2, 2012. The Federal Reserve did not 

receive any comments.
