The FR 2644 report provides weekly
balance sheet information on domestically chartered commercial
banks and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The Federal
Reserve uses this data to construct weekly estimates of bank
credit, balance sheet data for the U.S. banking industry, sources
and uses of banks funds, and to analyze banking
developments.
The annual burden for the
proposed FR 2644 would be 120,575 hours, an increase of 2,977
hours. The authorized panel size for the proposed FR 2644 would be
875, a decrease of 345 respondents. For FR 2644 reporters, there
would be an increase of 13 data items. For FR 2416 reporters, there
would be a decrease of 10 data items. For FR 2069 reporters, there
would be an increase of 8 data items. For the proposed FR 2644, the
Federal Reserve revised the methodology for determining the
estimated average hours per response based on the weighted average
of data items submitted with values greater than zero.
