Abstract: The FR 3033p is the first part of a two-stage survey series, which is a census survey designed to identify the universe of finance companies eligible for potential inclusion in the FR 3033s. It gathers limited information including total assets, areas of specialization, and information on the corporate structure of such companies. The second part of this information collection, the FR 3033s, collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and major liabilities, along with income and expenses, and is used to gather information on the scope of a company’s operations and loan and lease servicing activities. The data collected from this voluntary survey will be used for two purposes: to benchmark the consumer and business finance series collected on the Board’s monthly Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities (FR 2248; OMB No. 7100-0005) and to increase the Federal Reserve’s understanding of an important part of the financial system.
