Abstract

These interagency reports collect information on fiduciary asset
totals and activities. They are used to monitor changes in the volume
and character of discretionary trust activity and the volume of
nondiscretionary trust activity and to determine resource needs for
supervisory purposes. The data are also used for statistical and
analytical purposes. No changes are proposed to the FFIEC 001 or the
FFIEC 006 reporting forms or instructions.
The agencies did not receive any comments in response to the notice
published in the Federal Register on September 3, 1999 (64 FR 48453)
requesting public comment on the extension, without revision, of these
information collections.

performance of the agencies' functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;

d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
