The Board uses the surveys in this collection to gather qualitative and limited quantitative information about liability management, the provision of financial services, and the functioning of key financial markets from a selection of up to 80 large commercial banks and other depository institutions (or, if appropriate, from other major financial market participants). This voluntary survey is completed by a senior officer at each respondent institution. In recent years, the Board has conducted two surveys per year, but it may conduct up to four surveys per year when significant informational needs arise that cannot be met from existing data sources.

The estimated total annual burden for the FR 2023 is 960 hours, based on four surveys per year, and would increase to 1,200 hours with the revisions. The Board revised the FR 2023 by increasing the respondent panel size from 80 to 100 and changing the method of collection from email to an online survey tool.
