will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.
During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed
PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and
other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on the following information
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the
OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Report of Selected Money Market Rates.
Collection identifier: FR 2420.
OMB control number: 7100-0357.
General description of collection: The FR 2420 is a transaction-
based report that collects daily liability data on federal funds
purchased, selected borrowings from non-exempt entities, Eurodollar
transactions, and time deposits and certificates of deposits from (1)
domestically chartered commercial banks and savings associations that
have $18 billion or more in total assets as well as those that have
total assets above $5 billion but less than $18 billion and meet the
activity threshold, (2) U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks
with total third-party assets of $2.5 billion or more, and (3)
significant banking organizations that are active participants in money
markets. The FR 2420 also collects daily data on Eurodollar
transactions from International Banking Facilities (IBFs) of the above-
referenced institutions. The FR 2420 data are used in the publication
of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and Overnight Bank Funding Rate and
in analysis of current money market conditions.
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to add several fields to the
FR 2420 reporting form, with supporting information added to the FR
2420 instructions, to enhance money market monitoring. The Board
proposes to add Part E to the reporting form to collect information on
depository institutions' secured borrowings via Federal Home Loan Banks
(FHLBs) advances with 1 year or less to maturity at origination. An
additional proposed section of the reporting form, Part F, serves to
collect information on rates paid by depository institutions for
certain non-maturity demand deposits by FHLBs. The Board proposes the
addition of one new item in Part C of the reporting form that would
denote whether reported time deposits represent brokered transactions.
The proposed FR 2420 revisions would be effective 12 months after the
publication of a final notice in the Federal Register, with an
approximate January 2026 as of date.
The proposed additions to the FR 2420 align with the Board's
monetary policy mandate. The proposed additions enhance the Federal
Reserve's ability to monitor bank funding and money markets, especially
under changing conditions.
Domestic banks that are FHLB members rely upon FHLB advances, which
are loans secured by collateral, as a key source of funding. Short-term
advances with maturities under one year are a widely used alternative
to the other wholesale money market sources that are already subject to
FR 2420 reporting. The Federal Reserve currently lacks the ability to
monitor advance borrowings by all banks subject to FR 2420 reporting
with data on the interest rates paid on advances or on dollar volumes
of borrowings at a higher frequency than quarterly. In addition, the
Federal Reserve currently lacks the ability to monitor volumes and
rates for FHLBs' interest-bearing deposits. These deposits represent a
significant dollar volume as compared to the other unsecured funding
types currently subject to FR 2420 data collection.
Reporting Form Revisions
The Board proposes to add items to the FR 2420 reporting form to
collect information on brokered deposits, short-term FHLB advances, and
interest-bearing non-maturity deposits placed by FHLBs.
The Board proposes to add a field to the existing Part C of FR 2420
to denote which reported time deposits represent brokered transactions.
The proposed Part E of the reporting form concerns FHLB advances
with an original maturity of one year or less. The reporting form
fields in Part E would be similar to other data for term instruments
reported on the FR 2420. Specifically, covered institutions would be
required to report the dollar amount, origination date, settlement
date, maturity date, interest rate, day-count convention, the interest
rate adjusted for estimated FHLB dividends, whether the advance is
fixed- or floating-rate, whether the advance is amortizing, and whether
there are embedded options. For floating-rate advances, the spread,
reference rate, and reset period would be required. Respondents would
report on each business day their outstanding FHLB advances with an
original maturity of one year or less.
The proposed Part F of the reporting form concerns interest-bearing
demand deposits from FHLBs. The proposed additional reporting form
fields in Part F include the dollar amount (i.e., account balance),
trade date, interest rate, and day-count convention, reported for each
business day.
Instruction Revisions
Proposed instruction changes provide guidance to covered
institutions on how to report the proposed items pertaining to brokered
deposits, FHLB advances, and deposits by FHLBs. Specific reporting
instruction sections are included for FHLB advances and demand deposits
by FHLBs, and related definitions are added to the glossary.
Proposed additional instructions for time deposits in Part C
include directions to specify a pre-set value for whether a time
deposit transaction is brokered or not. Brokered deposits follow the
existing definition in the FR 2420 glossary. In addition, references to
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) among reference rates in Part C
are removed in the proposed revisions, as the production of U.S. dollar
LIBOR will have ceased by the proposed implementation date for the
revisions.
The instructions regarding FHLB advances in Part E are generally
consistent with those for other parts of the FR 2420. For FHLB advances
with under one year to maturity at origination, respondents are
directed to report the dollar amount of the advance, date on which the
advance is originated, date on which funds settle, interest rate,
interest rate adjusted for estimated FHLB dividends received by the
institution, interest-rate spread for floating-rate advances, and
maturity date of the advance. The instructions specify pre-set values
for the interest rate's day-count convention, whether the interest rate
is fixed or floating, reset period for floating-rate advances,
reference rate used for floating-rate advances, whether the advance is
amortizing or non-amortizing, and any embedded options in the advance.
Institutions are directed to report outstanding advances each business
day.
The instructions pertaining to the proposed Part F specify that
only interest-bearing demand deposits by FHLBs should be reported. The
term ``demand deposits'' is defined in the glossary. Instructions are
provided directing institutions to report the dollar amount (i.e., end-
of-day account balance in dollars), trade date, interest rate, and day-
count convention for each business day.
Frequency: Daily.
Respondents: Commercial banks, savings associations, U.S. branches
and agencies of foreign banks, IBFs, and
[[Page 79594]]
significant banking organizations representing entities actively
participating in the federal funds and/or other money markets.
Total estimated number of respondents: 277.
Total estimated change in burden: 14,000.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 133,825.
