This report collects information from depository institutions (other than U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks and Edge and agreement corporations) that are fully exempt from reserve requirements under the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982. This mandatory report is used by the Federal Reserve for administering Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) and for constructing, analyzing, and controlling the monetary and reserve aggregates.
The reduction in burden is associated with a change to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition (FFIEC 031 and 041; OMB No. 7100-0036), the Thrift Financial Report (OTS 1313; OMB No. 1550-0023), and the Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004). During the 2006 renewal of the Reports of Deposits, the FR 2910a data item 1, Total Deposits, was revised to Total Transaction Accounts, Savings Deposits, and Small Time Deposits. The Federal Reserve estimated that it would be more time consuming for federally chartered savings banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions to submit data on their FR 2910a reports because, at the time, these institutions were not required to calculate small and large time deposits data for their respective Call Reports. However, by March 2007, all Call Reports required the submission of total and large time deposits data. Therefore, a higher burden calculation for federally chartered savings banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions is no longer necessary. The estimated time per response for the 3,388 federally chartered savings banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions has been reduced from 1 hour to 45 minutes to align with the estimated time per response for the remaining FR 2910a reporters.
