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

    Collection title: Central Bank Survey of Foreign Exchange and 
Derivatives Market Activity.
    Collection identifier: FR 3036.
    OMB control number: 7100-0285.
    General description of collection: The FR 3036 is a component of 
the U.S. portion of a global data collection that is conducted by 
central banks once every three years and captures information relating 
to the volume of foreign exchange (FX) transactions. The Bank for 
International Settlements (BIS), of which the Board is a member, 
compiles aggregate national data from each central bank to produce and 
publish global market statistics. More than 50 central banks plan to 
conduct this global data collection in 2025 (the 2025 Survey). 
Aggregated data from the FR 3036 is compiled and forwarded to the BIS, 
which uses the data to produce and publish these statistics. The data 
compiled by the BIS is the Federal Reserve's primary source of 
information on the role of the U.S. dollar in the global foreign 
exchange market. The data informs the conduct of Federal Reserve and 
U.S. Treasury foreign exchange operations and management of the Federal 
Reserve's international dollar liquidity facilities.
    Frequency: Triennially.
    Respondents: Large commercial banks, brokers and dealers, and U.S. 
offices of foreign banking offices with dealing operations in the U.S.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 21.
    Estimated average hours per response: Reporting dealers, 66; 
reporting dealers for FX settlements only, 75.
    Total estimated change in burden: 93.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 1,458.
    Current actions: On December 23, 2024, the Board published a notice 
in the Federal Register (89 FR 104539) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 3036. The Board 
proposed including a significant revision to the Settlement of FX 
Transactions schedule; revising Tables A1, A2, A4, A5, B1, and B2; and 
revising the FR 3036 instructions to be more in alignment with the 
BIS's 2025 Survey guidelines. The comment period for this notice 
expired on February 21, 2025. The Board received one comment.

Detailed Discussion of Public Comments

    The commenter argues that the FR 3036 does not provide timely data 
for assessing rapidly evolving risks, such as those arising from 
repledging in derivative swaps and the accumulation of off-balance-
sheet debt. The Board believes that the triennial cadence and scope of 
the survey, considered in conjunction with other data available to the 
Federal Reserve, strike an appropriate balance between the purposes of 
the survey (understanding market developments and trends and 
contributing to the BIS's effort to publish aggregate global 
statistics) and the burden on respondents. The commenter also asks the 
Board to adopt compulsory real-time capture of foreign exchange 
transactions and associated stress testing and scenario analysis to 
preserve the market's integrity under Generally Accepted Accounting 
Principles. The Board considers this request outside the scope of the 
proposal. The Board will adopt the extension, with revision, of the FR 
3036 as originally proposed.
