Years, With Revision, of the Following 

Reports 

1. Report Title: Quarterly Report of 

Assets and Liabilities of Large Foreign 

Offices of U.S. Banks. 

Agency Form Number: FR 2502q. 

OMB Control Number: 7100–0079.

banking subsidiaries of U.S. depository 

institutions. 

Annual Reporting Hours: 1,176 hours. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: 3.5 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 84. 

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is required (12 

U.S.C. 248(a) (2), 353 et seq., 461, 602, 

and 625) and is given confidential 

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

Abstract: This reporting form collects 

data quarterly on the geographic 

distribution of the assets and liabilities 

of major foreign branches and 

subsidiaries of U.S. commercial banks 

and of Edge and agreement 

corporations. Data from this reporting 

form comprise a piece of the flow of 

funds data that are compiled by the 

Federal Reserve. 

Current Actions: On December 23, 

2008, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

78797) requesting public comment for 

60 days on the proposal to extend, with 

revision, the FR 2502q. The comment 

period for this notice expired on 

February 23, 2009. The Federal Reserve 

received one comment from a Federal 

agency describing its use of the data to 

prepare economic account information 

and estimates of international

Estimated Average Hours per

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is mandatory 

pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) 

(31 U.S.C. 513(h)). In addition, sections 

11, 21, 25, and 25A of the Federal 

Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a), 483, 602, 

and 611(a)) authorize the Federal 

Reserve to require the information 

collection and recordkeeping 

requirements set forth in Regulations K 

and H. Section 5 of the Bank Holding 

Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844) and 

section 13(a) of the International 

Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3108(a)) provide 

further authority for sections 211.5(m) 

and 211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K. Since 

the Federal Reserve does not collect any 

information, no issue of confidentiality 

normally arises. However, if a BSA 

compliance program becomes a Federal 

Reserve record during an examination, 

the information may be protected from 

disclosure under exemptions (b)(4) and 

(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 

U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). 

Abstract: Sections 211.5(m)(1) and 

211.24(j)(1) of Regulation K require Edge 

and agreement corporations and U.S. 

branches, agencies, and other offices of 

foreign banks supervised by the Federal 

Reserve to establish and maintain 

procedures reasonably designed to 

ensure and monitor compliance with 

the BSA and related regulations. 

Current Actions: On December 23, 

2008, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

78797) requesting public comment for 

60 days on the proposal to extend, with 

revision, the Recordkeeping 

Requirements of Regulation H and 

Regulation K Associated with Bank 

Secrecy Act Compliance Programs. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on February 23, 2009. No comments 

were received. The revisions will be 

implemented as proposed. 

3. Report Title: Weekly Report of 

Selected Assets and Liabilities of 

Domestically Chartered Commercial 

Banks and U.S. Branches and Agencies 

of Foreign Banks. 

Agency Form Number: FR 2644. 

OMB Control Number: 7100–0075. 

Frequency: Weekly. 

Reporters: Domestically chartered 

commercial banks and U.S. branches 

and agencies of foreign banks. 

Annual Reporting Hours: 120,575 

hours. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: 2.65 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 875. 

General Description of Report: The FR 

2644 is authorized by section 2A and 

11(a)(2) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 

U.S.C. 225(a) and 248(a)(2)) and by 

section 7(c)(2) of the International 

Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)) and 

is voluntary. Individual respondent data 

are regarded as confidential under the 

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

552(b)(4)). 

Abstract: The Weekly Report of Assets 

and Liabilities for Large U.S. Branches 

and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FR 

2069; OMB No. 7100–0030), the Weekly 

Report of Assets and Liabilities for Large 

Banks (FR 2416; OMB No. 7100–0075), 

and the Weekly Report of Selected 

Assets (FR 2644; OMB No. 7100–0075) 

are referred to collectively as the bank 

credit reports. These three voluntary 

reports have been the primary source of 

high-frequency data used in the analysis 

of current banking developments. The 

FR 2416 data are used on a stand-alone 

basis to construct the large domestically 

chartered bank series. The other two 

reports collect sample data that are used 

to estimate universe levels using data 

from the quarterly commercial bank 

Consolidated Reports of Condition and 

Income (FFIEC 031 and 041; OMB No. 

7100–0036) and the Report of Assets 

and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and 

Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002; 

OMB No. 7100–0032) (Call Reports). 

Data from all three bank credit reports, 

together with data from other sources, 

are used to construct weekly estimates 

of bank credit, balance sheet data for the 

U.S. banking industry, sources and uses 

of banks’ funds, and to analyze banking 

developments. 

The Federal Reserve publishes the 

data in aggregate form in the weekly H.8 

statistical release, Assets and Liabilities 

of Commercial Banks in the United 

States, which is followed closely by 

other government agencies, the banking 

industry, the financial press, and other 

users. This release provides a balance 

sheet for the banking industry as a 

whole and data disaggregated by its 

large domestically chartered, small 

domestically chartered, and foreignrelated components. 

Current Actions: On December 15, 

2008, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

76027) requesting public comment for 

60 days on the extension, with revision, 

of the FR 2644. The comment period for 

this notice expired on February 13, 

2009. The Federal Reserve received two 

comment letters, one from a U.S. 

Government agency and one from a 

commercial bank. One commenter 

supported the proposed changes and 

described its use of the data in 

constructing a component of personal 

outlays in the national income and 

product accounts. One commenter 

stated that investment and loan 

information would be difficult to obtain 

on a weekly basis. After considering 

these comments, the Federal Reserve 

has approved the revisions to the FR 

2644 as originally proposed. The new 

FR 2644 reporting form and instructions 

are available on the Federal Reserve’s 

public Web site (http:// 

www.federalreserve.gov/reportforms/ 

review.cfm). 

Effective Date: The FR 2644 reporting 

form change is effective for data 

reported as of Wednesday, July 1, 2009. 

Respondents should continue to use 

their current reporting form and 

instructions through the preceding date, 

Wednesday, June 24, 2009.

the Confidential Information Protection

Abstract: For many years, the Federal 

Reserve has sponsored consumer 

surveys to obtain information on the 

financial behavior of households. The 

2010 SCF would be the latest in a 

triennial series, which began in 1983, 

that provides comprehensive data for 

U.S. families on the distribution of 

assets and debts, along with related 

information and other data items 

necessary for analyzing financial 

behavior. The SCF is the only survey 

conducted in the United States that 

provides such financial data for a 

representative sample of households. 

Current Actions: On December 23, 

2008, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

78797) requesting public comment for
