The FR 2420 would be a transaction-based report that collects daily liability data on federal funds, Eurodollar transactions, and certificates of deposits (CDs) from (1) domestically chartered commercial banks and thrifts that have $26 billion or more in total assets and (2) U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks with total third-party assets of $900 million or more. The FR 2420 data would be used to support a range of functions including the daily implementation of monetary policy and the analysis of broad money market conditions.
The annual reporting burden for the FR 2420 is estimated to be 45,000 hours. The hourly estimate for commercial banks and thrifts is higher than the hourly estimate for U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks since Part B would not be reported by branches and agencies.
