The FR 3075 collects information from select institutions regulated by the Federal Reserve in order to assess the effects of proposed, pending, or recently-adopted policy changes at the domestic and international levels. For example, the survey collects information used for certain quantitative impact studies (QISs) sponsored by bodies such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the Financial Stability Board. Recent QISs have included the Basel III monitoring exercise, which monitors the global impact of the Basel III framework, and the global systemically important bank exercise, which assesses a firm's systemic risk profile. Since the collected data may change from survey to survey, there is no fixed reporting form. The data submission timeline for each survey will be determined prior to the distribution of the survey materials. In soliciting participation, the Federal Reserve will explain to respondents the purpose of the survey and how the data will be used. While the number of respondents may fluctuate between surveys, the survey may be conducted up to 15 times per year.

The comment period for this notice expired on August 18, 2014. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments. On September 9, 2014, the Federal Reserve published a final notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 53426) implementing the FR 3075 as proposed.
