The Federal Reserve Bank of New 

York, on behalf of the Federal Reserve 

System, collects data from primary 

dealers in the U.S. government 

securities market. Filing of these data is 

required to obtain the benefit of primary 

dealer status. The Federal Reserve uses 

these data to (1) monitor the condition 

of the U.S. government securities market 

in its Treasury market surveillance and 

analysis of the market and (2) assist and 

support the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) in its role as fiscal 

agent for Treasury financing operations. 

In addition, these data are used in the 

analysis of broad financial conditions 

and a range of financial stability issues. 

Proposed revisions: Since the last 

clearance, a new type of repo financing 

called ‘‘sponsored general collateral 

repo’’ has gained significant popularity 

among clients of primary dealers. Such 

type of financing is not separately listed 

in the current FR 2004C. To improve 

our ability to track the usage of this 

product by primary dealers, the Board 

proposes to revise the FR 2004C for each 

asset category by adding three columns 

to separately capture sponsored general 

collateral Triparty Repo financing by 

maturity tenors. The proposed revisions 

would be effective with the first 

applicable as of date, June 5, 2024. 

Frequency: Weekly, monthly, and 

event-generated. 

Respondents: Primary government 

security dealers. 

Total estimated number of 

respondents: 24. 

Total estimated change in burden: 

1,310. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

35,189.1
