The Board uses the surveys in this collection to gather qualitative and limited quantitative information about liability management, the provision of financial services, and the functioning of key financial markets from a selection of up to 80 large commercial banks (or, if appropriate, from other depository institutions or major financial market participants). A senior officer at each respondent bank would complete this voluntary survey usually through an electronic submission. Although a survey may not be collected in a given year, the Board may conduct up to four surveys per year when significant informational needs arise and cannot be met from existing data sources.
