30468 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Notices

Abstract: Banks, bank holding

companies, and trust companies subject

to the Federal Reserve’s supervision that

are low-volume transfer agents

voluntarily file the FR 4013 notice on

occasion with Federal Reserve Board.

Transfer agents are institutions that

provide securities transfer, registration,

monitoring, and other specified services

on behalf of securities issuers. The

purpose of the notice, which is effective

until the agent withdraws it, is to claim

exemption from certain rules and

regulations of the Securities and

Exchange Commission (SEC). The

Federal Reserve uses the notices for

supervisory purposes because the SEC

has assigned to the Federal Reserve

responsibility for collecting the notices

and verifying their accuracy through

examinations of the respondents. The

notice is made by letter; there is no

reporting form.

3. Report title: Survey to Obtain

Information on the Relevant Market in

Individual Merger Cases.

Agency form number: FR 2060.

OMB control number: 7100–0232.

Frequency: On occasion.

Reporters: Small businesses and

consumers.

Annual reporting hours: 37 hours.

Estimated average hours per response:

10 minutes for small businesses, 6

minutes for consumers.

Number of respondents: 25 small

businesses and 50 consumers per

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 1817(j), 1828 (c), and 1841 et

seq.) and is given confidential treatment

(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(6)).

Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses

this telephone survey to determine the

sources from which small businesses

and consumers in a particular

geographical area obtain financial

services. The information is needed for

specific merger and acquisition

applications to determine relevant

banking markets in the analysis of local

market competition.

U.S.C. 225(a) and 248(a)(2)) and is given

552(b)(4)).

3. Report title: Weekly Report of

Assets and Liabilities for Large U.S.

Branches and Agencies of Foreign

Banks.

Agency form number: FR 2069.

OMB control number: 7100–0030.

Frequency: Weekly.

Reporters: U.S. branches and agencies

of foreign (non-U.S.) banks.

Annual reporting hours: 27,891 hours.

Estimated average hours per response:

5.83 hours.

Number of respondents: 92.

Small businesses are not affected.

General description of report: This

information collection is voluntary (12

U.S.C. 248 (a)(2) and 3105(a)(2)) and is

given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(4)).

Abstract: The FR 2416 is a detailed,

46-item balance sheet that covers

domestic offices of large U.S.-chartered

commercial banks. The FR 2644 collects

17 items covering investments and loans

plus total assets and three memorandum

items, two that disaggregate total

borrowings between bank and nonbank

sources and one for mortgage-backed

securities. The FR 2069 is a detailed, 28-

item balance sheet that covers large U.S.

branches and agencies of foreign banks.

These reports are collected as of each

Wednesday.

These three voluntary reports are

mainstays of the Federal Reserve’s

reporting system from which data for

analysis of current banking

developments are derived. The FR 2416

is used on a stand-alone basis as the

‘‘large domestic bank series.’’ The other

two reports are samples for estimating

outstandings for the universe, using data

for benchmarks from the quarterly

commercial bank Consolidated Reports

of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031/

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 reports,

together with data from other sources,

are used for constructing weekly

estimates of bank credit, of sources and

uses of bank funds, and of a balance

sheet for the banking system as a whole.

These estimates are used in constructing

the bank credit component of the

domestic nonfinancial debt aggregate.

The Federal Reserve publishes the

data in aggregate form in a statistical

release that is followed closely by other

government agencies, the banking

industry, the financial press, and other

users. This weekly H.8 statistical

release, ‘‘Assets and Liabilities of

Commercial Banks in the United

States,’’ provides a balance sheet for the

banking industry as a whole and

disaggregated by its large domestic,

small domestic, and foreign related

components

Current Actions: The Federal Reserve

has approved the proposed changes to

these three reports to conform with the

March 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001,

changes to the Call Reports. In addition

to these revisions, on the FR 2416, the

Federal Reserve approved a minor

redefinition of ‘‘Commercial real estate

loans’’ to include loans secured by

farmland. The Federal Reserve

determined that real estate loans

secured by farmland, currently reported

in ‘‘All other loans secured by real

estate,’’ are used primarily for the

financing of land for production (a

commercial purpose), rather than for

financing the improvements on the

land, such as farmhouses. Thus, the

bulk of farm real estate loans have a

commercial, rather than a residential,

character.

These proposed changes to the FR

2416, FR 2644, and FR 2069 will be

effective with the reports for July 4,

2001.

Title: Child Care and Development

Fund Annual Report (Form ACF–700).

OMB No.: 0980–0241.

Description: The Child Care and

Development Fund (CCDF) report

requests annual tribal aggregate

information on services provided

through the CCDF which is required by

the Child Care and Development Block

Grant (CCDBG) Final Rule (45 CFR Parts

98 and 99). Tribes are required to

submit annual aggregate data

appropriate to tribal programs on

children and families receiving CCDFfunds or CCDBG funded child care

services. The CCDBG statute and

regulations also require Tribal Lead

Agencies to submit a supplemental

narrative as part of the ACF–700 report.

This narrative describes general child

care activities and actions in the Tribal

Lead Agency’s service area and is not

restricted to CCDF-funded child care

activities. Instead this description is

intended to address all child care

available in the Tribal Lead Agency’s

service area. The ACF–700 and

supplemental narrative report will be

included in the Secretary’s report to

Congress, as appropriate, and will be

shared with all Tribal Lead Agencies to

inform them of CCDF or CCDBG-funded

activities in other tribal programs.

Respondents: Tribal CCDF Programs

(257 in total).
