authority under the PRA to approve and assign OMB control numbers to
collections of information conducted or sponsored by the Board. In

every reasonable step to solicit comment. In determining whether to
approve a collection of information, the Board will consider all
comments received from the public and other agencies.
A copy of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) OMB submission,
including the reporting form and instructions, supporting statement,
and other documentation will be available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>, if approved. These documents will also be made

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on the following information
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the
OMB under
[[Page 54978]]
the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board
should modify the proposal.
Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years,
Without Revision, the Following Information Collection
Report title: Application Form for Membership on the Community
Advisory Committee Council.
Agency form number: FR 1401.
OMB control number: 7100-0371.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Any person seeking to be considered for membership on
the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Council.
Estimated number of respondents: 300.
Estimated average hours per response: 1.
Estimated annual burden hours: 300.
General description of report: The CAC Application (Application) is
used to obtain information about the experience and qualification of
persons seeking to be considered for membership on the CAC of the
Board. The Application collects an applicant's contact information;
details regarding current employment and areas of expertise; a resume,
which typically includes information about employment history,
education, and training; and a cover letter explaining why the
applicant is interested in serving on the CAC and what he or she
believes are their primary qualifications. Applicants can voluntarily
elect to provide additional information to support their application.
Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Application is
authorized pursuant to sections 2A and 10 of the Federal Reserve Act
(FRA).\1\ Section 2A of the FRA requires the Board and Federal Open
Market Committee to maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit
aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to
increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum
employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.\2\
Section 10 of the FRA authorizes the Board to ``determine and prescribe
the manner in which its obligations shall be incurred and its
disbursements and expenses allowed and paid.'' \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 12 U.S.C. 225a and 244.
\2\ 12 U.S.C. 225a.
\3\ 12 U.S.C. 244. This authority permits the Board to collect
personal information (e.g., bank account routing numbers) needed to
disburse travel funds to CAC members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Providing information collected as part of the Application is
required to obtain a benefit.
Generally, information provided on the Application may be kept
confidential from the public under exemption 6 of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) to the extent that the disclosure of the
information ``would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.'' For example, the release of information such as the
applicant's address, home telephone number, or personal email address
to the public would likely constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy and be kept confidential. However, the release of
information such as the educational and professional qualifications of
successful applicants would not likely constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy and may be disclosed under the FOIA. In
addition, once a person becomes a member of the CAC, their name, and
the name and location of the organization where they are employed,
would generally be listed on the Board's public website.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, September 29, 2021.
Michele Taylor Fennell, Deputy Associate Secretary of the Board.
