Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Payment Systems Surveys.
    Collection identifier: FR 3054.
    OMB control number: 7100-0332.
    Effective date: January 23, 2023.
    General description of collection: The Payment Systems Surveys are 
used to obtain information specifically tailored to the Federal 
Reserve's operational and fiscal agency responsibilities. The Payment 
Systems Surveys family of surveys is currently comprised of the 
following: Ad Hoc Payment Systems Surveys (FR 3054a), Currency Quality 
Sampling Survey (FR 3054b), Currency Quality Survey (FR 3054c), 
Currency Functionality and Perception Survey (FR 3054d), and Currency 
Education Usability Survey (FR 3045e). These surveys help the Board 
obtain information about currency demand, quality, functionality, 
perception, usage patterns and other useful information about 
banknotes.
    Frequency: FR 3054a, five times per year; FR 3054b, annually; FR 
3054c, semi-annually; FR 3054d, five times per year; and FR 3054e, ten 
times per year.
    Respondents: The FR 3054 panel comprises financial institutions 
(including depository institutions), law enforcement, nonfinancial 
businesses (retailers, banknote equipment manufacturers, or global 
wholesale bank note dealers), and individuals within the general 
public.
    Total estimated number of respondents: FR 3054a, 4,000; FR 3054b, 
500; FR 3054c, 25; FR 3054d, 250; and FR 3054e, 250.
    Estimated average hours per response: FR 3054a, 0.75; FR 3054b, 
0.50; FR 3054c, 30; FR 3054d, 2.5; and FR 3054e, 0.50.
    Total estimated change in burden: 725 hours.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 21,125.\1\

    Current actions: On September 13, 2022, the Board published a 
notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 56053) requesting public comment 
for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 3054. The Board 
proposed to increase the estimated respondents for the FR 3054b from 
300 to 500, increase the estimated frequency for the FR 3054d from four 
times a year to five times a year, and increase the estimated frequency 
from five times a year to ten times a year and decrease the estimated 
number of respondents from 500 to 250 for the FR 3054e. The increase in 
the frequency of surveys allows the Federal Reserve System flexibility 
to respond to diverse needs for data by surveying groups of respondents 
multiple times throughout a year. Increasing the number of estimated 
respondents of the FR 3054b will help ensure statistical significance 
of the sample pool and decreasing the estimated number of respondents 
while increasing the frequency of the FR 3054e will facilitate more 
survey agility. Additionally, the FR 3054c has not changed since 2018 
and no changes are anticipated during the current clearance cycle. The 
FR 3054c is therefore being transitioned from an ad hoc to an 
established collection.
    The comment period for this notice expired on November 14, 2022. 
The Board did not receive any comments relevant to this information 
collection.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, December 19, 
2022.
Michele Taylor Fennell,
Deputy Associate Secretary of the Board.
