The FR 2420 is a transaction-based report that collects daily liability data on federal funds, Eurodollar transactions, and certificates of deposits (CDs) from (1) domestically chartered commercial banks and thrifts that have $26 billion or more in total assets and (2) U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks with total third-party assets of $900 million or more. The FR 2420 data are used in the analysis of current money market conditions and will allow the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) to calculate and publish interest rate statistics for selected money market instruments.
The current annual reporting burden for the FR 2420 is estimated to be 47,500 hours. The annual reporting burden for the proposed FR 2420 would be 89,950 hours, an increase of 42,450 hours. The estimated average hours per response for commercial banks and thrifts, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and significant banking organizations would increase to 1.8 hours based on the proposed changes. The estimated average hours per response for IBFs would be 1 hour based on the proposed changes.
