Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, Without Revision, of 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.
    Current actions: On July 16, 2025, the Board published a notice in 
the Federal Register (90 FR 32008) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the extension, without revision, of the FR 1374. The comment 
period for this notice expired on September 15, 2025. The Board did not 
receive any comments.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 8, 
2026.
Erin M. Cayce,
Assistant Secretary of the Board.
