Summary

The Federal Reserve announced the approval of agency information collection activities under delegated authority. This notice, published on March 17, 2026, details the extension of an existing information collection for three years without revision.

What changed

The Federal Reserve System has announced the final approval, under delegated authority and submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), of an existing information collection activity. This approval extends the collection for three years without any revisions. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2026.

This action is primarily administrative, confirming the continuation of an existing information collection process. Regulated entities should be aware that the Federal Reserve has approved the extension of this collection, but no new obligations or changes to the collection itself are being introduced. No specific compliance deadline or penalty information is provided as this is an administrative approval of an existing process.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
