Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collection Collection title: Census of Finance Companies and Other Lenders and Survey of Finance Companies. Collection identifier: FR 3033p and FR 3033s. OMB control number: 7100-0277. General description of collection: The FR 3033 information collection (the quinquennial) consists of the Census of Finance Companies and Other Lenders (FR 3033p), which the Board revised in May 2025, as well as the Survey of Finance Companies (FR 3033s), which the Board is revising at this time. The FR 3033p is the first part of a two-stage survey series, which has been conducted at a regular five-year interval since 1955. The second part of this information collection, the FR 3033s, collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and major liabilities, along with income and expenses, and is used to gather information on the scope of the company's operations and loan and lease activities. In addition, questions were added to assess the current geographical penetration and online presence of finance companies. From the universe of finance companies determined by the FR 3033p, a stratified random sample of 3,000 finance companies will be drawn for the FR 3033s. This survey will be sent in May 2026 and will collect information as of December 31, 2025. The data collected from this voluntary survey will be used for two purposes: to benchmark the consumer and business finance series collected on the monthly Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities (FR 2248; OMB No. 7100-0005) which in turn serves as an input to the following statistical releases: Finance Companies (G.20), Consumer Credit (G.19) and Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1), and to increase the Federal Reserve's understanding of an important part of the financial system. Frequency: Quinquennially. Respondents: Finance companies. Total estimated number of respondents: 8,800. Total estimated change in burden: (244). Total estimated annual burden hours: 3,512. Current actions: On January 12, 2026, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (91 FR 1186) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 3033p and FR 3033s. The Board proposed to revise the FR 3033s to improve clarity, simplify the form overall, and collect additional information on the current geographical penetration and online presence of finance companies. The FR 3033p was not revised as part of this clearance. The comment period for this notice expired on March 13, 2026. The Board did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Erin M. Cayce, Assistant Secretary of the Board.
