Annual reporting hours: 1,800 hours.

Number of respondents: 9.

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248 (a), 353–359, and 461) and is

given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.

552 (b) (4)).

Abstract: The FR 2436 collects

derivatives market statistics from a

sample of nine large U.S. dealers of

over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. Data

are collected on notional amounts and

gross market values of the volumes of

broad categories of foreign exchange,

interest rate, equity- and commoditylinked OTC derivatives instruments

across a range of underlying currencies,

interest rates, and equity markets.

This collection of information

complements the ongoing triennial

Survey of Foreign Exchange and

Derivatives Market Activity (FR 3036).

The FR 2436 collects similar data on the

outstanding volume of derivatives, but

not on derivatives turnover. As with the

FR 3036, the Federal Reserve conducts

this report in coordination with other

central banks and forwards the

aggregated data furnished by U.S.

reporters to the Bank of International

Settlements (BIS), which publishes

global market statistics that are

aggregations of national data.
