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 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;

At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations

publicly report on an annual basis the extent to which networks have
established separate interchange fees for exempt and covered issuers.
