Frequency: One-time survey.
Reporters: U.S. families.
Annual reporting hours: 9,322 hours.

the Confidential Information Protection
and Statistical Efficiency Act and

Abstract: For many years, the Federal
Reserve has sponsored consumer
surveys to obtain information on the
financial behavior of households. The
2010 SCF would be the latest in a
triennial series, which began in 1983,
that provides comprehensive data for
U.S. families on the distribution of
assets and debts, along with related
information and other data items
necessary for analyzing financial
behavior. The SCF is the only survey
conducted in the United States that
provides such financial data for a
representative sample of households.
Current Actions: The Federal Reserve
proposes to conduct (1) Up to 30
interviews averaging about 15 minutes
(business pretest) to evaluate a new set
of questions on the finances of small
businesses in 2009; (2) up to 150
interviews averaging about 75 minutes
(main pretest) to be obtained in a series
of tests of the survey procedures in
2009; (3) up to 7,000 interviews
averaging about 75 minutes (main
survey) between May 2010 and March
2011; (4) up to 150 re-interviews
averaging about 75 minutes (reinterview 1) in 2011 with participants
from the main survey; and (5) up to 150
re-interviews averaging about 75
minutes (re-interview 2) in 2012 with
participants from the main survey. The
surveys would be conducted by a survey
research organization selected through a
competitive process.
