Short Statement:
In 2012, FHFA completely revised the MIRS data submission process by establishing a web interface through which respondents can upload their monthly data. This has made it easier for respondents to submit data accurately. Most respondents now submit their MIRS data through the web interface. Several, primarily larger, respondents transmit an electronic data file to FHFA, which then uploads the data directly into its electronic database. A few respondents still elect to complete FHFA Form #075 and submit it by facsimile.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$20,500
