There are two parts to this event-generated survey. First, under the guidance of Board economists, the Federal Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments warrant. Currently, there are approximately 240 business respondents for each survey (about 20 per Reserve Bank); occasionally state and local government officials are called, in which case there are far fewer respondents. It is necessary to conduct these surveys to provide timely information to the members of the Board and to the presidents of the Reserve Banks. Usually, these surveys are conducted by Reserve Bank staff economists telephoning or emailing purchasing managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected, relevant businesses. Reserve Bank staff may also use online survey tools to collect responses to the survey. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy. Second, economists at the Board survey business contacts by telephone, inquiring about current business conditions. Board economists conduct these surveys as economic conditions require, with approximately ten respondents for each survey. *Current Actions:* On July 26, 2013, the Federal Reserve published a notice in the **Federal Register** (78 FR 45193) requesting public comment for 60 days on the proposal to extend, with revision, the Intermittent Survey of Business. The comment period for this notice expired on September 24, 2013. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, October 3, 2013. Robert deV. Frierson, Secretary of the Board. [FR Doc. 2013-24431 Filed 10-10-13; 8:45 am]
