Reserve. In circumstances where
identifying information is provided to
the Federal Reserve, such information
could possibly be protected from
Freedom of Information Act disclosure
by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) and (6)).
The Federal Reserve Board’s
Microeconomic Surveys section in the
Division of Research and Statistics is an
official statistical unit, as defined under
the Confidential Information Protection
and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA)
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501). When
information is collected by a private
contractor under the oversight of that
section, there are stringent requirements
for protecting the data and respondents
may be given a legally binding pledge of
confidentiality. The pledge would
disallow any use of the data for a nonstatistical purpose.1 When the Federal
Reserve collects data directly (that is,
without the use of a private data
collection company or other such
agent), respondents may also be offered
such a pledge if the data are intended
for a statistical purpose.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve would
use this event-driven survey to obtain
information specifically tailored to the
Federal Reserve’s supervisory,
regulatory, operational, and other
responsibilities. The Federal Reserve
proposes to conduct the FR 3051 up to
13 times per year (including one survey
on an annual basis and another on a
monthly basis). The frequency and
content of the questions would depend
on changing economic, regulatory, or
legislative developments.
Current Actions: On March 30, 2009,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (74 FR 14126)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the implementation of the
Microeconomic Survey. The comment
period for this notice expired on May
29, 2009. The Federal Reserve did not
receive any comments; the survey will
be implemented as proposed.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, June 4, 2009.
Jennifer J. Johnson,
Secretary of the Board.

1 ‘‘Non-statistical’’ is defined precisely in
CIPSEA. Loosely, an information collection
undertaken for a non-statistical purpose would be
one intended to support a regulatory action or other
action specifically targeted to the entity on which
data were collected.
