This report collects data on deposits
and related items from depository institutions. These mandatory
data are used by the Federal Reserve for constructing, analyzing,
and controlling the monetary and reserves aggregates and for
administering Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository
Institutions).
The FR 2900 panel shift would
represent a net burden reduction of 103,320 hours or 15 percent.
The decline in burden is due to some FR 2900 reporting institutions
becoming eligible to submit data less frequently; that is, the
proposed increase in the nonexempt deposit cutoff above its 2006
indexed value would result in a shift of 615 FR 2900 respondents
from the weekly to the quarterly reporting panel.
