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.
