No need for this data, the Fed is happy to talk about the ways it sometimes coordinates with banks in pursuing economic stability. I was just reading The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve and that goes into this a bit.

My problem with the system is that we have the same organization charged with regulating the banking system and macroeconomic stabilization. These are obviously related but that means it's very tempting to see the later entirely in terms of the former, which I think is part of the reason for the Fed's misjudgments in the financial crisis.
