Proposal to approve under OMB

delegated authority the extension for

three years, with revision, the following

report:

1. Report title: Report of Repurchase

Agreements (RPs) on U.S. Government

and Federal Agency Securities with

Specified Holders

Agency form number: FR 2415

OMB control number: 7100-0074

Frequency: weekly, quarterly, or

annually

Reporters: U.S.-chartered commercial

banks, U.S. branches and agencies of

foreign banks, and thrift institutions

Annual reporting hours: 4,037

Estimated average hours per response:

0.5

Number of respondents: 120 weekly,

208 quarterly, and 1,002 annually

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248(a)(2)) and is given

confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(4)).

Abstract: Since 1980, the Federal

Reserve has collected two reports

providing detailed data on

nonreservable borrowings (primarily

federal funds and repurchase agreement

(RP) transactions) from large

commercial banks for construction of

the RP components of the monetary

aggregates and for other analytical

purposes. Over time, three other sample

reports have been added to this

reporting framework to provide RP data

from other depository institutions for

the construction of the monetary

aggregates. The Federal Reserve

proposes a complete overhaul of this

reporting framework, resulting in a

simplified reporting system and

significant reductions in item coverage.

The revised framework would be

implemented as of the end of June 1997.

Under the proposed revised reporting

system, the Federal Reserve would

collect a single report containing a

single item: RPs in denominations of

$100,000 or more, in immediatelyavailable funds, on U.S. government and

federal agency securities, transacted

with specified holders. Respondents

would submit the report weekly,

quarterly, or annually based on their RP

activity. The Federal Reserve estimates

that revised reporting system will

reduce annual respondent burden by

16,890 hours and annual respondent

costs by approximately $338 thousand.

The revised report will replace the

following system of existing reports: the

Report of Selected Borrowings, the Daily

Telephone Report of Selected

Borrowings, the Weekly Report of

Repurchase Agreements (FR 2415, FR

2415a, FR 2415t, respectively; OMB No.

7100-0074); and the Quarterly and

Annual Reports of Repurchase

Agreements (RPs) on U.S. Government

and Federal Agency Securities with

Specified Holders (FR 2090a and FR

2090a: OMB No. 7100-0205).

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

System, March 25, 1997.

William W. Wiles,

Secretary of the Board.
