Home Owners’ Loan Act (12 U.S.C.

of the International Banking Act (12
U.S.C. 3106). The FR Y–15 reports are
mandatory. The data collected on the Y–
15 is made public unless a specific
request for confidentiality is submitted
by the reporting entity, either on the FR
Y–15 or on the form from which the
data item is obtained. Such information
may be accorded confidential treatment
under exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’), which
protects from disclosure trade secrets
and commercial or financial information
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). A number of the
items in the FR Y–15 are retrieved from
the FR Y–9C and other items may be
retrieved from the FFIEC–101.
Confidential treatment may also extend
to any automatically-calculated items on
the FR Y–15 that have been derived
from confidential data items and that, if
released, would reveal the underlying
confidential data. To the extent
confidential data collected under the FR
Y–15 will be used for supervisory
purposes, it may be exempt from
disclosure under exemption 8 of the
FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).

time sensitive issues related to
payments research. Respondents may
comprise depository institutions,
financial and nonfinancial businesses,
for profit and nonprofit enterprises,
federal, state, and local governments,
individual consumers, or households.
The Board may conduct various surveys
under this collection, as needed. The
frequency and content of the questions
depend on changing economic,
regulatory, supervisory, or legislative
developments.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The legal framework for
the collection of checks and other items
by Reserve Banks and for funds transfers
through Fedwire is provided by section
13 of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA),1
section 16 of the FRA,2 the Expedited
Funds Availability Act,3 and the Check
Clearing for the 21st Century Act.4
Within the Federal Reserve System, the
Reserve Banks are generally the entities
engaged in the payments system. The
Board has broad authority to supervise
the actions of Reserve Banks, provided
by section 11 of the FRA.5 To
successfully maintain the operation of
the payments system, the Board must
collect payments related data and
information related to the performance
of Reserve Banks involved in the
payments system. The Federal Reserve
System has a long history of conducting
surveys, including surveys of
supervised institutions and of outside
parties. Accordingly, FR 3067 is
authorized by sections 11, 13, and 16 of
the FRA, as well as the Expedited Funds
Availability Act and the Check Clearing
for the 21st Century Act. Depending on
the survey respondent, the information
collection may also be authorized under
a specific statute. These statutes
include:
• Section 809 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act,6
• Section 7 of the Bank Service
Company Act,7 and
• Section 920 of the Electronic Fund
Transfer Act.8
Survey submissions are voluntary.
While unlikely, individual
respondents may request that
information submitted to the Board
through a survey under FR 3067 be kept
confidential. If a respondent requests
confidential treatment, the Board will
