Board is directed to take 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.
During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed
PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and
other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public

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 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.

Collection title: Federal Reserve Payments Study.

Study (FRPS) is supported by the following surveys: Depository and
Financial Institutions Payments Survey (FR 3066a), and Networks,

consumers and businesses, including for-profit and not-for-profit
enterprises, and federal, state, and local government agencies. The
aggregate estimates produced from the survey data are widely cited in
academic working papers, journal articles, and industry publications;
reported in the media; and used by the public, industry, and policy
makers as a quantitative aggregate benchmark of noncash payments and
cash withdrawal and deposit activity in the United States.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Organizations with a significant role in processing
payments, including depository and financial institutions, general-
purpose payment networks, third-party payment processors, issuers of
private-label payment instruments, and providers of various alternative
payment methods and systems.
Total estimated number of respondents: FR 3066a, 513, FR 3066b,
170.
Estimated average hours per response: FR 3066a, 22; FR 3066b, 8.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 12,646.
