Abstract: The first part of the FR A, the FR A-1, pertains to reporting requirements resulting from Regulation A - Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks (12 CFR Part 201), which sets out the Board’s policies and procedures with respect to emergency lending under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (section 13(3)). When an individual emergency lending facility is established by the Board, the Board may impose additional information collections. In this regard, the second part of the FR A, the FR A-2, pertains to reporting requirements associated with implementation of requirements under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The third part of the FR A, the FR A-3, pertains to reporting requirements specific to the Main Street Expanded Loan Facility (MSELF), Main Street New Loan Facility (MSNLF), and Main Street Priority Loan Facility (MSPLF) (collectively, the Main Street Lending Program).

Emergency Justfication: The delegation of authority to the Board from OMB that permits the Board to approve collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act includes the authority to temporarily approve a collection of information without seeking public comment. To exercise this authority, the Board must determine that a change to an existing collection must be instituted quickly and that public participation in the approval process would substantially interfere with the Board’s ability to perform its statutory obligation. Following the temporary approval of an information collection, the Board will conduct a normal delegated review of the collection within six months, including publishing in the Federal Register a notice seeking public comment. In response to recent economic disruptions and volatility in U.S. financial markets caused by the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Board temporarily revised the FR A.
