Supervisory and Regulatory Survey (financial businesses)

SAMPLE

Supervisory and Regulatory Survey

FR 3052;

OMB No. 7100-to be assigned

Topics covered by the FR 3052 monthly survey may include:

Written qualitative questions or questionnaires might include categorical questions, yes-no questions, ordinal questions, and open-ended questions. Written quantitative surveys could include dollar amounts, percentages, numbers of items, interest rates, and other such information; adequate data of this sort would not be available from any other source on a time-sensitive basis. Before conducting a survey, the Federal Reserve would review any information to be collected on a case-by-case basis to determine if the information is available by other means or sources. Institutions might also be required to provide copies of existing documents (for example, pertaining to practices and performances for a particular business activity). Less formal information collection studies, such as focus groups or cognitive interviews, would use a set of structured qualitative and quantitative questions as a guide to more extended discussion of the questions and answers. The size of the samples and the length of the data collection period would vary depending on the particular informational needs.
