Annual reporting hours: 130 burden

General description of report: This

Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses

this voluntary survey to obtain

household-based information

specifically tailored to the Federal

Reserve’s policy, regulatory, and

financial markets. Intermittently, on

request, the University of Michigan’s

Survey Research Center includes survey

questions on behalf of the Federal

Reserve in an addendum to their regular

monthly Survey of Consumer Attitudes

and Expectations. The frequency and

content of the questions depends on

changing economic and legal

developments.

Review Panel; Notice of Web Page

The Cost Accounting Standards Board

(CASB) Review Panel was established in

March 1998 to study, analyze, and

assess the mission of the CASB in light

of recent federal acquisition reforms.

Formed at the request of Congress, the

panel includes members from

government, industry, and the

accounting profession. It is anticipated

that the panel will conclude its studies,

analyses, and deliberations by the end

of the current year and issue a report

with recommendations to the Congress

in early 1999.

In conducting its work, the panel is

seeking to obtain broad input from all

interested parties including those in the

government contracting community,

academia, the accounting profession,

and industry. At this time, the panel is

seeking general comments on what are

the most pertinent issues the panel

should address regarding the CASB’s

mission in light of acquisition reform,

its current structure, composition and

membership, and the CASB’s staff

resources. As the panel proceeds with

its work and focuses its attention on

more specific issues, additional public

comments on those issues will be

solicited. Individuals interested in

submitting comments to the panel can

do so by visiting the CASB Review

Panel’s web page at http://www.gao.gov
