Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Selected Balance Sheet Items for Discount Window
Borrowers.
Collection identifier: FR 2046.
OMB control number: 7100-0289.
General description of collection: The Board's Regulation A--
Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks (12 CFR part 201) states
that a Reserve Bank shall require any information it believes
appropriate or desirable to ensure that each discount window borrower
uses the credit provided in a manner consistent with Regulation A.
Regulation A also requires that each Reserve Bank shall keep itself
informed of the general character and amount of loans and investments
of a depository institution. Balance sheet data are collected on the FR
2046 report from certain institutions that borrow from the discount
window in order to monitor discount window borrowing.
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR 2046 by
removing the reporting exemption for seasonal credit borrowers that
report total securities, federal funds sold and resale agreements,
total loans, total deposits, and total assets weekly on the Weekly
Report of Selected Assets and Liabilities of Domestically Chartered
Commercial Banks and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FR
2644; OMB No. 7100-0075).
Frequency: Weekly.
Respondents: Depository institutions.
Total estimated number of respondents: 27.
Total estimated change in burden: 0.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 143.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, March 24,
2025.
