the Federal Reserve System,

Washington, DC 20551.

Proposal to approve under OMB

delegated authority the extension for

three years, with revision, the following

report:

1. Report title: Consolidated Report of

Condition and Income for Edge and

Agreement Corporations

Agency form number: FR 2886b

OMB control number: 7100–0086

Frequency: Quarterly

Reporters: Edge and agreement

corporations

Annual reporting hours: 3,619

Estimated average hours per response:

11.6

Number of respondents: 39 banking

corporations, 39 investment

corporations

Small business are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is mandatory (12

U.S.C. 602 and 625) and is given

confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(4)).

Abstract: This report collects balance

sheet and income data from Edge and

agreement corporations. Information

collected on the FR 2886b is used to

help plan and target the scope of

examinations of Edge corporations and

to evaluate applications. Data from the

FR 2886b are also used to monitor

aggregate institutional trends, such as

growth in assets and the number of

offices, changes in leverage, and the

types and locations of customers. The

significant revisions to the report

consist of changing reporting to a fully

consolidated basis, instead of the

consolidation of only branch operations;

collecting new information on mutual

funds and annuity sales; adding two

line items: ‘‘Trading assets’’ and

‘‘Trading liabilities;’’ changing the

reporting of current items ‘‘Claims on

affiliates’’ and ‘‘Liabilities to affiliates’’

from a net to a gross basis; revising the

reporting of securities, income and

expenses, changes in capital reserve

accounts, and off-balance-sheet items to

be more consistent with the collection

of similar data on the Report of

Condition for Foreign Subsidiaries of

U.S. Banking Organizations (FR 2314;

OMB No. 7100–0073); revising ‘‘Claims

on and Liabilities to Affiliates’’ to

include related U.S. banks other than

the parent bank; revising ‘‘Past Due and

Nonaccrual Loans and Lease Financing

Receivables’’ to include past due

information on other assets; and

exempting nonbanking Edge

corporations from reporting seven

supporting schedules.

Proposal to approve under OMB

delegated authority the extension for

three years, without revision, of the

following reports:

1. Report title: Senior Loan Officer

Opinion Survey on Bank Lending

Practices

Agency form number: FR 2018

OMB control number: 7100–0058

Frequency: Up to six times per year

Reporters: Large U.S. commercial banks

and large U.S. branches and agencies of

foreign banks

Annual reporting hours: 1,008

Estimated average hours per response:

2.0

Number of respondents: 84

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248(a), 324, 335, 3101, 3102, and

3105) and is given confidential

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

Abstract: The FR 2018 is conducted

generally by means of telephone

interview by a Federal Reserve Bank

officer having indepth knowledge of the

area of bank lending practices, with a

senior loan officer at each respondent

bank. The reporting panel consists of

sixty large domestically chartered

commercial banks, distributed fairly

evenly across Federal Reserve Districts,

and twenty-four large U.S. branches and

agencies of foreign banks. The survey

seeks primarily qualitative information

pertaining not only to current price and

flow developments but also to evolving

techniques and practices in banking. A

significant fraction of the questions in

each survey consists of unique

questions on topics of timely interest.

There is the option to survey other types

of respondents (such as other depository

institutions, bank holding companies, or

corporations) should the need arise. The

FR 2018 is a very important tool for

monitoring and understanding the

evolution of lending practices at banks

and developments in credit markets

generally.

2. Report title: Senior Financial

Officer Survey

Agency form number: FR 2023

OMB control number: 7100–0223

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 225a, 248(a), and 263);

confidentiality will be determined on a

case-by-case basis.

Abstract: The FR 2023 requests

qualitative and limited quantitative

information about liability management

and the provision of financial services

from a selection of sixty large

commercial banks or, if appropriate,

from other depository institutions of

corporations. Responses are obtained

from a senior officer at each

participating institution through a

telephone interview conducted by

Federal Reserve Bank or Board staff. The

survey is conducted when major

informational needs arise that cannot be

met from existing data sources. The

survey does not have a fixed set of

questions; each survey consists of a

limited number of questions directed at

topics of timely interest.
