Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board): regulatory returns

What this page covers

Every FR-numbered form in three of the Board's Reporting Forms categories, read 2026-11-13: Financial Statements (30 entries), Monetary policy (16) and Activities monitoring (15). That is 61 entries, kept as 64 returns (45 in force, 19 discontinued, kept because the Board still lists them): paired entries are split where the Board gives the two parts different forms, filers or frequencies (FR 2314/FR 2314S, FR Y-11/FR Y-11S, FR Y-7N/FR Y-7NS), and each FR 2900, FR 2950 and FR Y-14 variant the Board lists separately is its own return. FFIEC forms, including the Call Reports, are in the library's ffiec entry (docs/ffiec.md). Left out: the Applications/Structure Change, Research, Business/consumer credit, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC forms 3, 4, 5 and 13F) and Municipal and government securities categories. The covered categories also list a few forms that the supervised firm does not file with the Board itself: the consumer complaint form (FR 1379), the Suspicious Activity Report filed through FinCEN (FR 2230), and two forms the Board links elsewhere (FR H-2, FR HMDA-LAR); they are kept and say so.

How firms file

• Reporting Central

  The Federal Reserve Banks' electronic reporting application. Holding companies, banks and other respondents use it to submit most Federal Reserve reporting forms, and their instructions point filers to it for electronic submission procedures. Source

• Structure Central

  The Federal Reserve Banks' application, alongside Reporting Central, through which organisations verify and submit organisational-structure information for the FR Y-6 and FR Y-7 family of reports. Source

Data the Federal Reserve Board publishes from the returns

• Federal Reserve Bulletin and Uniform Bank Holding Company Performance Report (BHCPR)

  Added up across firms · Not stated on the pages read; described as aggregate statistics and performance ratios rather than a downloadable file.

  Data from the FR Y-9 series (FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, FR Y-9SP, FR Y-9ES) is published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin and in the BHCPR, a standard set of performance ratios and analyses the Federal Reserve produces for each holding company. With certain exceptions, the underlying microdata is also considered public information and available through the Board's Freedom of Information Office. Source

  From: FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, FR Y-9SP, FR Y-9ES

  Reuse: Not stated separately from the Board's general licence terms.

• H.6 Money Stock and Debt Measures

  Added up across firms · Web page / data release, format not itemised on the page read.

  A weekly statistical release that draws on, among other sources, Edge and agreement corporation data. Source

  From: FR 2886b

  Reuse: Not stated separately from the Board's general licence terms.

• H.8 Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks in the United States

  Added up across firms · Web page / data release, format not itemised on the page read.

  A weekly statistical release built from the FR 2644 (and, before 2009, the FR 2069 and FR 2416). Source

  From: FR 2644, FR 2886b, FR 2069, FR 2416

  Reuse: Not stated separately from the Board's general licence terms.

• National Information Center (NIC) public website

  Firm by firm · Not checked (see gaps).

  The Board's pages for the FR Y-15 and FR Q-1 name the NIC public website as where firm-level data from those returns is made public, except where confidential treatment is granted. www.ffiec.gov answers automated requests with a 403, so that website and the data on it could not be opened or verified. The link between this website and the two returns is taken from the Board's pages. Source

  From: FR Y-15, FR Q-1

  Reuse: Not checked.

• TRACE data products (FINRA)

  Added up across firms · Not checked (FINRA's website is not requested; see gaps).

  FR 2956 transactions go into FINRA's TRACE products: its data feeds, the TRACE Fact Book, market aggregate statistics, enhanced historical data and the end-of-day transaction file. FINRA publishes these, not the Board, so they are linked to the FR 2956 by subject only. Source

  From: FR 2956

  Reuse: FINRA's own terms (not part of the Board's licence).

• H.6 Money Stock Measures

  Added up across firms · HTML statistical release, with series also downloadable as structured data files through the Board's Data Download Program (https://www.federalreserve.gov/datadownload).

  The Board's weekly statistical release of the monetary aggregates (M1, M2), built in part from the FR 2900 family and (historically) the FR 2051a. Published weekly; series are also downloadable in bulk through the Board's Data Download Program. Source

  From: FR 2900 (Commercial Banks), FR 2900 (Credit Unions), FR 2900 (Savings and Loans), FR 2900 (Branches and Agencies), FR 2051a

  Reuse: Same as the Board's general licence recorded in this file's licence block; the link between the H.6 release and these returns is by subject (the monetary aggregates), not a line-by-line reconciliation.

• Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test / Capital Plan results

  Firm by firm · Web pages and PDF summary reports, published annually.

  The Federal Reserve's annual supervisory stress test and capital-plan review, publicly disclosing bank-level results (for example projected capital ratios under stress) drawn in part from the FR Y-14A, FR Y-14Q and FR Y-14M data each firm files. Source

  From: FR Y-14A, FR Y-14Q, FR Y-14M

  Reuse: Same as the Board's general licence recorded in this file's licence block; the link between the published results and the three FR Y-14 returns is by subject (they are the Board's main data inputs to the stress test), not a line-by-line reconciliation.

Reuse terms for the Federal Reserve Board's documents

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System: website Disclaimer, 'Copyright/trademark', read with the notice on the Reporting Forms page, checked 13 November 2026. In the Federal Reserve Board's words:

Unless otherwise indicated, information on Board's website is in the public domain and may be copied and distributed without permission. Please cite to the Board as the source of the information. [The Reporting Forms page (https://www.federalreserve.gov/apps/reportingforms) adds: "Forms and instructions on this website may be reproduced for use by respondents."]

Can others share copies?

Allowed.

Conditions

None required: the Board's own material is in the public domain unless marked otherwise. Credit: the Board asks to be cited as the source. Material marked as another party's needs that party's permission. Links: hyperlinks to the Board's website are allowed but framing it is not, so links open the Board's own page. Logos: the Board's seals, logos and insignia may not be used without its written permission, so none are shown.

What the library does

Links each document on the regulator's own site, with its size and SHA-256 fingerprint so a change can be spotted. Documents are never hosted on line4.ai. The Board's website is in the public domain unless marked otherwise, but its Reporting Forms page says forms and instructions 'may be reproduced for use by respondents', and Line4 is not a respondent. So the library describes the forms in its own words, cites the Board, and links to the Board's own copies with a SHA-256 fingerprint; it keeps no copies (changed 13 Nov 2026 after the batch 7 AI cross-check).

Notice the Federal Reserve Board's terms ask for: Source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, https://www.federalreserve.gov. Documents are linked on the regulator's own site, not hosted here. The plain-English summaries are Line4's own; the Board does not endorse this library.

What could not be verified

Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.

• Deadlines: the FR 2644's instructions and Reporting Forms page state no submission deadline (it is recorded as 'Not stated'), and the FR Y-9CS has no standing deadline because each use sets its own.
• FR Y-15 and FR Q-1: the Board's pages name the National Information Center (NIC) public website, on www.ffiec.gov, as where their public data is published. www.ffiec.gov answers automated requests with a 403, so the dataset, its format and whether it is firm by firm could not be verified.
• FR 2956: the Board names FINRA's TRACE system as the filing route. FINRA's terms of use (https://www.finra.org/terms-of-use, 'Restrictions' (d) and (e)) forbid building a database from its website and using scraping or harvesting tools, including robots, so finra.org is not requested. FINRA's TRACE technical specifications, file format and checks are therefore not recorded, and the TRACE data products are linked by subject only.
• Reporting Central and Structure Central are described from the Board's forms and instructions and the Federal Reserve Banks' public Reporting Central page. The Federal Reserve Banks' terms of use (https://www.frbservices.org/terms-of-use/, 'Use of Material on This Website') forbid reproducing or publishing the site's content without their authorisation, so nothing from frbservices.org is quoted or copied, and its user guides and file specifications were not read. File formats accepted by Reporting Central are therefore recorded as 'Other'.
• Templates for the FR Y-8, FR Y-6, FR Y-7, FR Y-7Q, FR 2510, FR 2644, FR 2320 and FR LL-(b)11 are listed at the level of the form's own parts or report items, not line by line.
• FR 2314abc, FR 2064, FR 2069, FR 2416, FR Y-20, FR 2320 and FR LL-(b)11 are discontinued returns; their historical forms were read for status and purpose but not opened for a full schedule-by-schedule breakdown, since they are no longer filed.
• Legal basis is linked only where the U.S. Code section could be read on govinfo.gov. Regulations quoted on the forms (Regulation Y, YY, WW, XX, LL and K) are named in the text but not linked: the eCFR website (www.ecfr.gov) answered a request for 12 CFR part 249 with a CAPTCHA page on 13 Nov 2026, so CFR texts were not read. FR 2052a therefore has no legal basis link.
• The Board publishes the edits (validation rules) for the FR Y-9, FR Y-11, FR Y-7N, FR Y-7Q, FR Y-8, FR Y-12, FR 2314, FR 2886b and FR 2320 reports as tables at the end of each report's instructions, not as separate files. Edits with an end date before 13 Nov 2026 are not counted.
• FR 2006 (fr-2006), FR 2051a (fr-2051a) and FR 2415 (fr-2415): deadlines and filing channels are not stated on the Board's report pages or the historical forms themselves; recorded as 'Not stated'.
• FR 2900 family (all four variants): no filing deadline or file format is stated in the current (effective June 2024) instructions or on the Board's report pages; the instructions cover consolidation and item definitions but not a submission timetable or electronic channel.
• FR 2900 (Branches and Agencies): the instructions' Introduction says U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks must file 'regardless of the level of their deposits', but the instructions' own 'A. Who Must Report' list (shared wording across all four FR 2900 variants) does not separately name branches and agencies; it lists only Edge Act and agreement corporations (regardless of size) and other depository institutions above the $1.4 billion threshold. This file records the two statements as written rather than resolving the apparent inconsistency.
• FR 2910a, FR 2930 and FR 2930a: deadlines and file formats are not stated; all three are discontinued, so this was not pursued further.
• FR Y-14A, FR Y-14Q and FR Y-14M pages link to the Federal Reserve Banks' Reporting Central user guides on frbservices.org for technical instructions. Those guides were not read (see the frbservices.org gap above), so the FR Y-14 file formats are recorded as 'Other'.
• FR 2230 (Suspicious Activity Report) is filed through FinCEN, not the Federal Reserve. No terms of use could be found on fincen.gov, so nothing from that site is used; the return is described from the Board's FR 2230 page only.
• FR HMDA-LAR and FR H-2: the Board's pages link to the FFIEC website (403 to automated requests) and to FEMA for the forms. Neither was read, so these returns are described only from the Board's own pages; the FR HMDA-LAR page was last updated in 2007, so current filing arrangements were not checked.
• FR VV-1: the Board's page says the current (fourth) version must be filed by firms with 'significant' trading assets and liabilities from the report for the first quarter of 2021, and gives its due date as 30 April 2020, which is before that quarter; recorded as stated rather than corrected.
• FR Y-14A/Q/M: no published, countable list of the Board's own data edit checks (as distinct from the model-validation documentation the instructions ask filers to produce) was found on the Board's pages for these three returns.
• FR 2915 data are available to the public on request, as the Board's page says, but no published dataset was found.
• FR 2910a, FR 2930 and FR 2930a's templates are not broken into named schedules on the Board's pages; all three are single-page allocation or annual forms and are discontinued.
