General description of report: The 

Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on 

behalf of the Federal Reserve System, 

collects data from primary dealers in the 

U.S. government securities market. 

Filing of these data is required to obtain 

the benefit of primary dealer status. The 

Federal Reserve uses these data to (1) 

monitor the condition of the U.S. 

government securities market in its 

Treasury market surveillance and 

analysis of the market and to (2) assist 

and support the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury in its role as fiscal agent for 

Treasury financing operations. In 

addition, these data are helpful in the 

analysis of broad financial conditions 

and a range of financial stability issues. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: This information 

collection is authorized by sections 2A, 

12A(c), 14, and 15 of the Federal 

Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 225a, 263c, 353– 

359, and 391) and is required to obtain 

or retain the benefit of dealer status. 

Individual respondent data are regarded 

as confidential under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and 

(b)(8)). 

Current actions: On July 6, 2017, the 

Board published a notice in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 31327) requesting 

public comment for 60 days on the 

extension, without revision, of the FR 

2004. The comment period for this 

notice expired on September 5, 2017. 

The Board did not receive any 

comments. The information collection 

will be extended as proposed. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the extension for three 

years, with revision, of the following 

report: 

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. 

Effective Date: January 3, 2018. 

Frequency: Weekly. 

Respondents: Domestically chartered 

commercial banks and U.S. branches 

and agencies of foreign banks. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

875. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

2.35 hours. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 

106,925 hours. 

General description of report: The FR 

2644 is a balance sheet report that is 

collected as of each Wednesday from an 

authorized stratified sample of 875 

domestically chartered commercial 

banks and U.S. branches and agencies of 

foreign banks. The FR 2644 is the only 

source of high-frequency data used in 

the analysis of current banking 

developments. The FR 2644 collects 

sample data that are used to estimate 

universe levels using data from the 

quarterly commercial bank Consolidated 

Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 

031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051; 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 the FR 2644, 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 current 

banking and monetary developments. 

The Board 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. The H.8 release provides a 

balance sheet for the banking industry 

as a whole and data disaggregated by its 

large domestic, small domestic, and 

foreign-related bank components. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: 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)). 

Current actions: On July 6, 2017, the 

Board published a notice in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 31327) requesting 

public comment for 60 days on the 

extension, with revision, of the FR 2466. 

The Board proposed several revisions to 

simplify and reduce the overall 

reporting burden associated with the FR 

2644 report. The proposed FR 2644 

reporting form would consist of 29 

balance-sheet items and 2 memoranda 

items, an overall reduction of six data 

items. The comment period for this 

notice expired on September 5, 2017. 

The Board did not receive any 

comments. The revisions will be 

implemented as proposed.

Jennifer Calik, Procurement Analyst, 

GSA Acquisition Policy Division, at 

telephone 312–353–6090 or email 

jennifer.calik@gsa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA has various mission 

responsibilities related to the 

acquisition and provision of supplies, 

transportation, information technology, 

telecommunications, real property 

management, and disposal of real and 

personal property. These mission 

responsibilities generate requirements 

that are realized through the solicitation 

and award of public contracts. In Fiscal 

Year 2016, these contracts had values 

ranging from under $100 to over 

$777,000,000, including the base and all 

options. 

Most GSA procurement-related 

information collections are required by 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) or General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR); each clause requiring such a 

collection must be individually 

approved by OMB. However, some 

solicitations require contractors to 

submit information specific to that 

contracting action, such as information 

needed to evaluate offers (e.g. specific 

instructions for technical and price 

proposals, references for past 

performance) or data used to administer 

resulting contracts (e.g. project 

management plans). 

This information collection is 

currently associated with GSA’s 

information collection requirements 

contained in solicitations issued in 

accordance with the Uniform Contract 

Format under FAR Part 14, Sealed 

Bidding (see GSAR 514.201–1); FAR 

Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation (see 

GSAR 515.204–1); and solicitations 

under FAR Part 12, Acquisition of 

Commercial Items, when issued in 

accordance with the policy and 

procedures of FAR Part 14 and FAR Part 

15 (see GSAR 512.301). This includes 

information collection requirements 

found in GSA Federal Supply Schedule 

(FSS) solicitations.
