The Reports of Deposits information
collection comprises the following four reports: Report of
Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits, and Vault Cash (FR 2900),
Annual Report of Deposits and Reservable Liabilities (FR 2910a),
Report of Foreign (Non-U.S.) Currency Deposits (FR 2915), and
Allocation of Low Reserve Tranche and Reservable Liabilities
Exemption (FR 2930). The FR 2900 report is filed by depository
institutions and is the primary source of data used for the
calculation of reserve requirements, and for the construction and
analysis of the monetary aggregates. The FR 2910a report is also
filed by depository institutions and is used to determine who must
file the FR 2900. The FR 2915 report is filed by any FR 2900
reporter that offers deposits denominated in foreign currencies at
their U.S. offices; this report is used by the Board in the
constructon of the monetary aggregates. The FR 2930 report is filed
by depository institutions with offices (or groups of offices) in
more than one state or Federal Reserve District with data to be
used in the calculation of reserve requirements.
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 new collection of
information or 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 must 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 2900 weekly
effective beginning with the April 27, 2020, as-of date, the FR
2900 quarterly effective beginning with the June 22, 2020, as-of
date, and the FR 2910a effective beginning with the June 30, 2020,
as-of date.
