determining whether to approve a collection of information, the Board
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

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
information to be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board
should modify the proposal.
Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years,
Without Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection Title: Intermittent Survey of Businesses.
Collection Identifier: FR 1374.
OMB Control Number: 7100-0302.
General description of collection: The FR 1374 survey data are used
to gather information to enable the Federal Reserve System to carry out
its policy and operational responsibilities. Under the guidance of the
Board, Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments
warrant. Usually, these voluntary surveys are conducted using an online
survey tool, such as Qualtrics, to collect responses by purchasing
managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected,
relevant businesses and occasionally state and local governments.
Occasionally, the survey will be conducted via telephone or email as
needed. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the
entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy.
These surveys are conducted to provide Board members and Reserve Bank
presidents real-time insights into economic conditions. The Board
tailors these survey questions to match current concerns and interests,
but they are not meant to supplant the more rigorous, existing economic
reporting. The Board collects aggregate responses from the Reserve
Banks and then distributes the information to Board members and Reserve
Bank presidents.
Frequency: Annual, but it may be conducted up to three times a year
depending on developments in the economy.
Respondents: Businesses, and as warranted by economic conditions,
state and local governments.

Total estimated number of respondents: 1,500.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 1,125.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, July 12, 2025.
