The Federal Reserve uses this
event-driven survey to obtain information specifically tailored to
the Federal Reserve's supervisory, regulatory, operational,
informational, and other responsibilities. Board staff is
authorized to conduct the FR 3053 up to 20 times per year, although
the survey may not be conducted that frequently. The frequency and
content of the questions depends on changing economic, regulatory,
or legislative developments as well as changes in the financial
services industry itself. Respondents comprise individuals,
households, and financial and non-financial businesses. The annual
burden is estimated to be 6,550 hours, based on twenty surveys:
three quarterly consumer-focused, one quarterly financial
institution study, and two semi-annual stakeholder-focused surveys.
The surveys are used to gather qualitative and quantitative
information directly from: consumers (consumer surveys), financial
institutions and other financial companies offering consumer
financial products and services (financial institution survey), and
other stakeholders, such as state or local agencies, community
development organizations, brokers, appraisers, settlement agents,
software vendors, and consumer groups (stakeholder
surveys).
