Proposal To Approve Under OMB
Delegated Authority the Extension for
Three Years, Without Revision, of the
Following Report
Report Title: GovernmentAdministered, General-Use Prepaid
Card Surveys.
Agency Form Number: FR 3063a and
FR 3063b.
OMB Control Number: 7100–0343.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondents: Issuers of governmentadministered, general-use prepaid cards
(FR 3063a) and governments that
administer general-use prepaid card
programs (FR 3063b).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
FR 3063a: 25; FR 3063b: 75.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Estimated Average Hours per
Response: FR 3063a: 25 hours; FR
3063b: 15 hours.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: FR
3063a: 625 hours; FR 3063b: 1,125
hours.
General Description of Report: The
issuer survey (FR 3063a) collects data
from issuers of governmentadministered, general-use prepaid cards
including card program information,
cards outstanding, card funding, ATM
transactions, purchase transactions, fees
paid by issuers to third parties,
interchange fees, and cardholder fees.
The issuer survey (FR 3063a) is
mandatory.
The government survey (FR 3063b)
collects data from state governments,
the District of Columbia, and U.S.
territories (collectively ‘‘state
governments’’), and municipal
government offices located within the
United States (local government offices)
that administer general-use prepaid card
payment programs.1 Data collected from
government offices include program
information, the number of cards
outstanding, and funding information.
The government survey (FR 3063b) is
voluntary.
The Board uses data from these
surveys to support an annual report to
the Congress on the prevalence of use of
general-use prepaid cards in federal,
state, and local governmentadministered payment programs and on
the interchange and cardholder fees
charged with respect to such use of such
cards.
Legal Authorization and
Confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that both the
issuer survey and the government
survey are authorized by subsection
920(a) of the Electronic Fund Transfer
Act, which was amended by section
1075(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act (15
U.S.C. 1693o–2). This subsection
requires the Board to submit an annual
report to Congress on the prevalence of
the use of general-use prepaid cards in
Federal, State or local governmentadministered payment programs and the
interchange transaction fees and cardholder fees charged with respect to the
1 The issuer and government surveys request
information on all federal, state, or local
government-administered payment programs that
provide a general-use prepaid card (or other debit
card) disbursement option to payment recipients.
The government survey may be distributed to
federal government agencies in addition to state and
local governments, but collections of information
from federal government agencies are not subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act and, thus, are not
included in this discussion.
U.S. territories include American Samoa, Guam,
Midway Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto
Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

use of such general-use prepaid cards
(15 U.S.C. 1693o–2(a)(7)(D)). It also
provides the Board with authority to
require issuers to provide information to
enable the Board to carry out the
provisions of the subsection (15 U.S.C.
1693o–2(a)(3)(B)). The obligation of
issuers to respond to the issuer survey
(FR 3063a) is mandatory. However, the
obligation of state governments and
local government offices to respond to
the government survey (FR 3063b) is
voluntary.
All of the information collected on the
government survey and a limited
amount of information collected on the
issuer survey is publicly available, and
thus, is not accorded confidential
treatment. However, most of the
information collected on the issuer
survey is not publicly available and may
be kept confidential as explained
herein. Data collected by the issuer
survey may be kept confidential under
exemption (b)(4) of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), which exempts
from disclosure ‘‘trade secrets and
commercial or financial information
obtained from a person and privileged
or confidential’’ (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Such data may be kept confidential
under exemption 4 if the release of data
would cause substantial harm to the
competitive position of the issuer. For
example, certain issuer survey
responses would likely contain
information related to an organization’s
revenue structure and other proprietary
and commercial information and the
release of such information would cause
substantial harm to the competitive
position of the issuer and could
therefore be kept confidential under
exemption 4.
