Statement on Transparency and Accountability by the 12 Federal Reserve Banks

The Federal Reserve banks are committed to transparency and accountability and each Reserve bank has existing procedures for providing information to the public. In the interest of further strengthening transparency and accountability, the 12 Reserve banks have agreed to adopt a common policy for public requests for information and expect to implement this policy by the end of this year. Additional information on the policy will be available on each Reserve bank’s website later this year.

In the meantime, the public can continue to submit information requests through the St. Louis Fed’s existing form. Media can continue to contact mediainquiries@stls.frb.org for general inquiries.
