13002 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 48 / Thursday, March 12, 2015 / Notices 

1This family of reports also contains the 

voluntary Automobile Finance Company Report (FR 

2512), which has fewer than 10 respondents and 

does not require an OMB control number. The 

Federal Reserve also proposes to discontinue the FR 

2512. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

1 hour. 

Number of respondents: 31. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required (12 

U.S.C. 248(a)(2), 461, 602, and 625). 

Abstract: U.S. commercial banks, 

bank holding companies, including 

financial holding companies, and 

banking Edge and agreement 

corporations (U.S. banks) are required to 

file this reporting form for their large 

branches and banking subsidiaries that 

are located in the United Kingdom or 

the Caribbean. The FR 2502q collects, 

for each reporting office, claims on and 

liabilities to residents of individual 

countries as of each quarter-end. The 

data are used to construct a piece of the 

flow of funds data that are compiled by 

the Federal Reserve. 

Current Actions: The Federal Reserve 

proposes to significantly revise the FR 

2502q report form by eliminating most 

of the geographic information collected 

on the form. Specifically, staff proposes 

to delete all individual countries from 

the form, except for the United States. 

As a result, the body of the form would 

consist of two rows, with assets and 

liabilities reported for customers in the 

United States and for ‘‘Total, all areas,’’ 

the latter being simply total assets and 

liabilities of the reporting offices. The 

retention of these two rows allows the 

continued used of the report to better 

understand how banks use their offices 

in the Caribbean and the United 

Kingdom as conduits for funds to or 

from outside the United States. The 

memoranda section would be retained 

without changes, allowing its continued 

use in flow of funds data. 

The Federal Reserve also proposes to 

clarify in the instructions that (1) a 

reporter should begin filing the report 

for a branch or subsidiary as of the 

report date when the branch or 

subsidiary meets the reporting criteria, 

and (2) for subsidiaries, the report 

should be filed on a parent only basis. 

With the elimination of geographic 

detail from the report, the Federal 

Reserve would discontinue the E.11 

Statistical Release, the ‘‘Geographical 

Distribution of Assets and Liabilities of 

Major Foreign Branches and 

Subsidiaries of U.S. Banks,’’ which 

publishes aggregate data from the FR 

2502q. 

Given the greatly reduced detail in the 

report, individual reports will no longer 

be considered confidential unless 

comments are received providing a 

reasonable rationale for continued 

confidentiality. 

2. Report title: Quarterly Report of 

Interest Rates on Selected Direct 

Consumer Installment Loans and 

Quarterly Report of Credit Card Plans.1

Agency form number: FR 2835; FR 

2835a. 

OMB control number: 7100–0085. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

Reporters: Commercial banks. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: FR 

2835: 176 hours; FR 2835a: 100 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

FR 2835: .29 hours; FR 2835a: .50 hours. 

Number of respondents: FR 2835: 150; 

FR 2835a: 50. 

General description of report: These 

information collections are authorized 

by Sections 2A, 11, and 12A of the 

Federal Reserve Act and are voluntary 

(12 U.S.C. 225a, 248(a)(2), 263, 348a and 

353–359). Information requested on the 

FR 2835 is not confidential and 

respondents are made aware that 

information reported is made available 

to the public. Aggregate information 

collected on the FR 2835a is not 

considered confidential; however, 

individual respondent data is 

considered confidential under section 

(b)(4) of the Freedom of Information 

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

Abstract: The FR 2835 collects 

information from a sample of 

commercial banks on interest rates 

charged on loans for new vehicles and 

loans for other consumer goods and 

personal expenses. The data are used for 

the analysis of household financial 

conditions. 

The FR 2835a collects information on 

two measures of credit card interest 

rates from a sample of commercial 

banks with $1 billion or more in credit 

card receivables and a representative 

group of smaller issuers. The data are 

used to analyze the credit card market 

and draw implications for the 

household sector. 

Current Actions: The Federal Reserve 

proposes to revise the FR 2835 by 

adding a data item to collect 

information on new (72-month) 

automobile loans. This change is 

motivated by the need to better 

understand market developments, such 

as the growing popularity of the 72- 

month maturity. 

3. Report title: Census of Finance 

Companies. 

Agency form number: FR 3033p. 

OMB control number: 7100–0277. 

Frequency: Every five years. 

Reporters: Domestic finance 

companies. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

8,000 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

.5 hours. 

Number of respondents: 16,000. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is authorized by 

law (12 U.S.C. 225a, 263, 348a, and 

353–359) and is voluntary. Individual 

responses are exempt from disclosure 

pursuant to section (b)(4) of the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). 

Abstract: The Census of Finance 

Companies is a simple screening survey, 

which would be sent in June 2015 to all 

companies that meet criteria developed 

to identify the potential universe of 

domestic finance companies. An 

accurate census is required to form a 

representative sample of finance 

companies, to which the more detailed 

Survey of Finance Companies would be 

sent. The census would gather limited 

information including total assets, areas 

of specialization, and information on 

the corporate structure of the 

companies. The Federal Reserve has 

identified approximately 40,000 firms to 

which the census would be sent. 

Current Actions: The Federal Reserve 

proposes to increase the respondent 

panel size, revise the survey to collect 

information needed to determine 

whether a company meets the FR 3033 

definition of a finance company, solicit 

information on the types of credit or 

financing that a company offers, and 

make minor modifications to the survey 

design.
