Proposal Under OMB Delegated 

Authority To Extend for Three Years, 

Without Revision, the Following 

Information Collection 

Collection title: Intermittent Survey of 

Businesses. 

Collection identifier: FR 1374. 

OMB control number: 7100–0302. 

Frequency: Annual, and as needed. 

Respondents: Businesses, and as 

warranted by economic conditions, state 

and local governments. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,500. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

0.25. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 

1,125. 

General description of collection: The 

FR 1374 survey data are used to gather 

information to enable the Federal 

Reserve System to carry out its policy 

and operational responsibilities. Under 

the guidance of the Board, Reserve 

Banks survey business contacts as 

economic developments warrant. 

Usually, these voluntary surveys are 

conducted by telephoning or emailing 

purchasing managers, economists, or 

other knowledgeable individuals at 

selected, relevant businesses. Reserve 

Banks may also use online survey tools 

to collect responses to the survey. The 

frequency and content of the questions, 

as well as the entities contacted, vary 

depending on developments in the 

economy. These surveys are conducted 

to provide Board members and Reserve 

Bank presidents real-time insights into 

economic conditions. The Board tailors 

these survey questions to match current 

concerns and interests, but they are not 

meant to supplant the more rigorous, 

existing economic reporting. The Board 

collects individual responses from the 

Reserve Banks and then distributes 

aggregate information to Board members 

and Reserve Bank presidents. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The FR 1374 is 

authorized by sections 2A and 12A of 

the Federal Reserve Act (FRA). Section 

2A of the FRA requires that the Board 

and the Federal Open Market 

Committee (FOMC) ‘‘maintain long run 

growth of the monetary and credit 

aggregates commensurate with the 

economy’s long run potential to increase 

production, so as to promote effectively 

the goals of maximum employment, 

stable prices, and moderate long-term 

interest rates.’’ Section 12A of the FRA 

further requires the FOMC to implement 

‘‘regulations relating to the open market 

operations’’ conducted by Federal 

Reserve Banks ‘‘with a view to 

accommodating commerce and business 

and with regard to their bearing upon 

the general credit situation of the 

country.’’ The Board and FOMC use the 

information obtained through the FR 

1374 to discharge these responsibilities. 

Responding to surveys under the FR 

1374 is voluntary. Individual 

respondents may request confidential 

treatment for information provided in 

response to a survey in accordance with 

the Board’s Rules Regarding Availability 

of Information,1 and any such requests 

for confidential treatment will be 

reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

Information may be kept confidential 

under exemption 4 of the Freedom of 

Information Act to the extent it is 

confidential commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private.

Federal Reserve Act (FRA) requires a 

state member bank to seek prior

The Board has implemented this 

requirement in its Regulation H—

System (12 CFR part 208), which 

requires a state member bank seeking to 

make such an investment to provide 

prior notice to the appropriate Federal

the information provided in the notice 

to determine whether to object to the 

proposed investment. 

Legal authorization and

FRA, which requires that state member 

banks obtain Board approval prior to

additionally authorized by section 11 of 

the FRA, which authorizes the Board to 

require such statements and reports of 

state member banks as the Board may 

deem necessary.2 The FR 4014 is 

required to obtain a benefit. 

The information contained on the FR 

4014 is not considered confidential 

unless an applicant requests 

confidential treatment in accordance 

with the Board’s Rules Regarding 

Availability of Information.3 Requests 

for confidential treatment of information 

are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

Information provided on the FR 4014

of Information Act (FOIA) if it is

and actually treated as private by the 

respondent.4
