Three-Year Extension of FR 2248
The Federal Reserve proposes to extend the Domestic Finance Company Report (FR 2248; OMB No. 7100-0005) for three more years. If you are a finance company in the Board's sample, this means the reporting requirement would continue through the extended period.
Estimated Burden Reduction and Annual Hours
The Board estimates a total estimated change in burden of (2,994) hours and a total estimated annual burden of 4,605 hours across about 150 respondents. The collection remains voluntary and is submitted monthly (with additional quarter‑end items and semiannual special addenda).
Form Changes Effective June 2027
The Board proposes revisions to the FR 2248 reporting form that would take effect for the June 2027 reporting period. Revisions include removing the off-balance-sheet securitization column, removing three detailed real estate loan items (3.a.1–3.a.3), removing two equity capital items (8.a and 8.b), renaming and renumbering Total Equity Capital to Equity Capital (8), several wording updates (e.g., 'capital leases' → 'finance leases'), and adding a consolidated Real Estate Loans item (3.a).
Continued Monthly Reporting from Stratified Sample
The FR 2248 continues to be collected monthly as of the last calendar day of the month from a stratified sample of finance companies, with additional asset and liability items collected in quarter‑end months and Board staff potentially asking addendum questions twice per year. If you are in the Board's sample, you may still need to report monthly and answer periodic addenda.
Opportunity to Comment by September 8, 2026
Stakeholders may submit comments on the FR 2248 proposal identified by FR 2248 through the Board's website or other listed methods, with comments due on or before September 8, 2026. Commenters are warned that submissions will be publicly disclosed on the Board's website.
