Ad hoc Survey

FR 29b;

OMB No. 7100-0290

Topics covered by FR 29b Ad hoc surveys may include:

Recent examples of salary topics included salaries paid to employees in economist and attorney positions to aid in recruiting and retention issues. Recent examples of non-salary topics included workforce planning, telecommuting, and leave policy.

The process of designing and conducting these ad hoc surveys is informal. The Federal Reserve Board draws on its good working relationships with the respondents to the FR 29a and conducts the ad hoc surveys by phone and facsimile from a subset of these respondents. The Federal Reserve Board cannot anticipate what information will be needed and the need for the information is usually very time critical. The Federal Reserve Board conducts the ad hoc surveys as needed and anticipates that it will conduct five ad hoc surveys per year, contacting about 10 respondents per survey.
