    General description of report: This information collection is 
voluntary (12 U.S.C. sections 225a and 353 et seq.) and the data 
collected will no longer be treated as confidential.
    Abstract: This report collects information on the monthly volume of 
medium-term notes issued by corporations. The Board staff obtains the 
data from the universe of issuers. Individual respondents are surveyed 
monthly, quarterly, or semiannually, depending on the level and 
frequency of the respondent's issuance activity. In addition, once a 
year, all respondents report the amount of medium-term notes 
outstanding. The information collected on this report is used to 
estimate the volume of new securities issuance by U.S. corporations 
that is published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin and to construct 
estimates of corporate securities outstanding that are used in the flow 
of funds accounts.
    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, April 9, 1997.
William W. Wiles,
Secretary of the Board.
