The Reports of Deposits information collection comprises the following four reports:
Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits, and Vault Cash (FR 2900),
Annual Report of Deposits and Reservable Liabilities (FR 2910a),
Report of Foreign (Non-U.S.) Currency Deposits (FR 2915), and
Allocation of Low Reserve Tranche and Reservable Liabilities Exemption (FR 2930).
The FR 2900 report is filed by depository institutions and is the primary source of data used for the calculation of reserve requirements and for the construction and analysis of the monetary aggregates. The FR 2910a report is also filed by depository institutions and is used to determine who must file the FR 2900. The FR 2915 report is filed by any FR 2900 reporter that offers deposits denominated in foreign currencies at their U.S. offices; this report is used by the Board in the constructon of the monetary aggregates. The FR 2930 report is filed by depository institutions with offices (or groups of offices) in more than one state or Federal Reserve District with data to be used in the calculation of reserve requirements.
The estimated total annual burden for the Reports of Deposits is 134,356 hours, and would decrease to 52,232 hours with the revisions. The reduction in the estimated burden is largely due to the discontinuance of the FR 2900 quarterly, FR 2910a, and FR 2930 information collections. In addition, the estimated hours per response for the FR 2900 (weekly) has been revised down (1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour) to reflect the reduction in the number of daily items collected. The number of respondents documented in the table below were calculated using data available as of June 1, 2020.
