Estimated annual reporting hours:
58,500 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
60 hours.
Estimated number of respondents: 65.
General description of report: This
information collection is generally
authorized under sections 2A and 12A
of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 2A
requires that the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and the
Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) maintain long run growth of the
monetary and credit aggregates
commensurate with the economy’s long
run potential to increase production, so
as to promote effectively the goals of
maximum employment, stable prices,
and moderate long-term interest rates.
12 U.S.C. 225a. In addition, under
section 12A of the Federal Reserve Act,
the FOMC is required to implement
regulations relating to the open market
operations conducted by Federal
Reserve Banks with a view to
accommodating commerce and business
and with regard to the regulations’
bearing upon the general credit situation
of the country. 12 U.S.C. 263. The
authority of the Federal Reserve to
collect economic data to carry out the
requirements of these provisions is
implicit. Accordingly, the Federal
Reserve is authorized to use the FR 3075
by sections 2A and 12A of the Federal
Reserve Act.
Additionally, depending upon the
survey respondent, the information
collection may be authorized under a
more specific statute. Specifically, the
Board is authorized to collect
information from: BHCs (and their
subsidiaries) under section 5(c) of the
Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); SLHCs under section 10(b)(2)
of the Home Owners Loan Act (12
U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2)); non-BHC/SLHC
SIFIs under section 161(a) of the DoddFrank Act (12 U.S.C. 5361(a)); the
combined domestic operations of
certain FBOs under section 8(a) of the
International Banking Act of 1978 (12
U.S.C. 3106(a)) and section 5(c) of the
Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); SMBs under section 9 of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324);
Edge and agreement corporations under
sections 25 and 25A of the Federal
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 602 and 625) and
U.S. branches and agencies of foreign
banks under section 7(c)(2) of the
International Banking Act of 1978 (12
U.S.C. 3105(c)(2) and under section 7(a)
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. 1817(a)).
The Federal Reserve expects the
majority of surveys to be conducted on
a voluntary basis. However, with respect
to collections of information from BHCs

Sfmt 4703
(and their subsidiaries), SLHCs, nonBHC/SLHC SIFIs, the combined
domestic operations of certain foreign
banking organizations, state member
banks, Edge and agreement
corporations, and U.S. branches and
agencies for foreign banks authorized
under the specific statutes noted above,
the Federal Reserve could make the
obligation to respond mandatory.
The ability of the Federal Reserve to
maintain the confidentiality of
information provided by respondents to
the FR 3075 surveys will have to be
determined on a case-by-case basis
depending on the type of information
provided for a particular survey.
Depending upon the survey questions,
confidential treatment may be
warranted under exemptions 4, 6, and 8
of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). Exemption 4 protects from
disclosure trade secrets and commercial
or financial information, while
exemption 6 protects information ‘‘the
disclosure of which would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.’’ See 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) and (b)(6). If the survey is
mandatory and is undertaken as part of
the supervisory process, information
could be protected under FOIA
exemption 8, which protects
information relating to examination
reports. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8).
Abstract: The FR 3075 collects
information from select institutions
regulated by the Federal Reserve in
order to assess the effects of proposed,
pending, or recently-adopted policy
changes at the domestic and
international levels. For example, the
survey collects information used for
certain quantitative impact studies
(QISs) sponsored by bodies such as the
Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision and the Financial Stability
Board. Recent QISs have included the
Basel III monitoring exercise, which
monitors the global impact of the Basel
III framework,1 and the global
systemically important bank exercise,
which assesses a firm’s systemic risk
profile.2 Since the collected data may
change from survey to survey, there is
no fixed reporting form. The data
submission timeline for each survey
will be determined prior to the
distribution of the survey materials. In
soliciting participation, the Federal
Reserve will explain to respondents the
purpose of the survey and how the data
will be used. While the number of
respondents may fluctuate between

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests a 3-year OMB
approval to conduct a new information
collection entitled, ‘‘Promoting
Adolescent Health Through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention’’. The
proposed project is a semi-annual Webbased questionnaire to assess
programmatic activities among funded
agencies which include local education
agencies (LEA), state education agencies
(SEA), and non-governmental
organizations (NGO) funded by the
Division of Adolescent and School
Health (DASH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Currently, the questionnaires are the
only standardized reporting process for
HIV/STD prevention activities among
LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs funded by
DASH. The data being gathered via the
nine questionnaires: (1) Provides
standardized information about how
HIV/STD prevention funds are used by
funded agencies; (2) provides
descriptive and process information
about program activities; and (3)
provides greater accountability for use
of public funds. The questionnaires are
completed by the funded agencies on a
Web site managed by DASH and its
contractor, Karna. The questionnaires
are to be completed on a semi-annual
basis.
The questionnaires pertain to the
approaches that funded agencies are
using to meet their goals. Approaches
include helping districts and schools
deliver exemplary sexual health
education (ESHE) emphasizing HIV and
other STD prevention; increasing
adolescent access to key sexual health
services (SHS); and establishing safe
and supportive environments (SSE) for
students and staff.
There are a total of nine
questionnaires that are included in the
burden table below. Each SEA will be
completing activities for all approaches.
Therefore, each SEA will complete a
questionnaire for each approach (ESHE,
SHS, and SSE). Likewise, each LEA will
be completing activities for all
approaches. Therefore, each LEA will
complete a questionnaire for each
approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). Each
NGO will respond to the questionnaire
for the approach they are implementing
in support of SEAs or LEAs. Two NGOs
will respond to the ESHE questionnaire,
two NGOs will respond to the SHS
questionnaire, and two NGOs will
respond to the SSE questionnaire.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden for all funded
agencies is 820 hours.
