of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136w–8.
As part of the ‘‘whole-of-agency’’
approach to reduce PFAS use and
releases, EPA has reviewed the Agency’s
list of chemical substances that have
been approved for use as inert
ingredients in pesticide products to
determine whether any of these inert
ingredients are PFAS. Based on that
review, EPA is proposing the removal of
twelve chemicals from the current list of
inert ingredients approved for use in
pesticide products (given in Unit I.C.)
that have been identified as PFAS and
for which there are no uses as inert
ingredient in any currently registered
pesticide products.
After the close of the comment period,
EPA will consider all comments
received and determine appropriate
action.

Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Board’s functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;

utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of
information collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs
and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.
At the end of the comment period, the

Proposal Under OMB Delegated
Authority To Extend for Three Years,
With Revision, the Following
Information Collection
Collection title: Payment Systems
Surveys.
Collection identifier: FR 3054.
OMB control number: 7100–0332.
Frequency: FR 3054a, five times per
year; FR 3054b, annually; FR 3054c,
semi-annually; FR 3054d, five times per
year; and FR 3054e, ten times per year.
Respondents: The FR 3054 panel
comprises financial institutions
(including depository institutions), law
enforcement, nonfinancial businesses
(retailers, banknote equipment
manufacturers, or global wholesale bank
note dealers), and individuals within
the general public.
Estimated number of respondents: FR
3054a, 4,000; FR 3054b, 500; FR 3054c,
25; FR 3054d, 250; and FR 3054e, 250.
Estimated average hours per response:
FR 3054a, 0.75; FR 3054b, 0.50; FR
3054c, 30; FR 3054d, 2.5; and FR 3054e,
0.50.
Estimated annual burden hours: FR
3054a, 15,000; FR 3054b, 250; FR 3054c,
1,500; FR 3054d, 3,125; and FR 3054e,
1,250.
General description of collection: The
Payment Systems Surveys are used to

56054
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 13, 2022 / Notices
obtain information specifically tailored
to the Federal Reserve’s operational and
fiscal agency responsibilities. The
Payment Systems Surveys family of
surveys is currently comprised of the
following: Ad Hoc Payment Systems
Surveys (FR 3054a), Currency Quality
Sampling Survey (FR 3054b), Currency
Quality Survey (FR 3054c), Currency
Functionality and Perception Survey
(FR 3054d), and Currency Education
Usability Survey (FR 3045e).
Proposed revisions: The Board
proposes to increase the estimated
respondents for the FR 3054b from 300
to 500, increase the estimated frequency
for the FR 3054d from four times a year
to five times a year, and increase the
estimated frequency from five times a
year to ten times a year and decrease the
estimated number of respondents from
500 to 250 for the FR 3054e. The
increase in the frequency of surveys
allows the Federal Reserve System
flexibility to respond to diverse needs
for data by surveying groups of
respondents multiple times throughout
a year. Increasing the number of
estimated respondents of the FR 3054b
will help ensure statistical significance
of the sample pool and decreasing the
estimated number of respondents while
increasing the frequency of the FR
3054e will facilitate more survey agility.
Additionally, the FR 3054c has not
changed since 2018 and no changes are
anticipated during the current clearance
cycle. The FR 3054c is therefore being
transitioned from an ad hoc to an
established collection.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: Section 11(d) 1 of the
Federal Reserve Act (‘‘FRA’’) authorizes
the Board to ‘‘supervise and regulate
through the Secretary of the Treasury
the issue and retirement of Federal
reserve notes, except for the
cancellation and destruction, and
accounting with respect to such
cancellation and destruction, of notes
unfit for circulation, and to prescribe
rules and regulations under which such
notes may be delivered by the Secretary
of the Treasury to the Federal reserve
agents applying therefor.’’ Section 11A 2
of the FRA requires the Board to put
into effect a schedule of fees for Federal
Reserve bank services to depository
institutions based on specified
principles, including that such fees be
based on the direct and indirect costs
actually incurred in providing these
services. Section 13 3 of the FRA
authorizes, among other things, Federal
Reserve Banks to provide a variety of
4 12 U.S.C. 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 420,
422.

6 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6).

U.S.C. 248(d).
2 12 U.S.C. 248a.
3 12 U.S.C. 342.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

payments services. Section 16 4 of the
FRA authorizes the Board to take a
variety of actions related to the issuance
and management of Federal Reserve
notes. The information obtained from
the FR 3054 may be used in support of
the Board’s role in overseeing the
Federal Reserve Banks’ provision of
financial services to depository
institutions; developing policies and
regulations to foster the efficiency and
integrity of the U.S. payment system;
working with other central banks and
international organizations to improve
the payment system more broadly;
conducting research on payments
issues; and working with other federal
agencies on currency design, quality
issues, and to educate the global public
on the security features of Federal
Reserve notes. Therefore, the FR 3054 is
authorized pursuant to the Board’s
authority under Sections 11(d), 11A, 13,
and 16 of the FRA. The FR 3054 is
voluntary.
The questions asked on each survey
would vary, so the ability of the Board
to maintain the confidentiality of
information collected would be
determined on a case-by-case basis. To
the extent a respondent submits
nonpublic commercial or financial
information, which is both customarily
and actually treated as private by the
respondent, the respondent may request
confidential treatment pursuant to
exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA).5 In
circumstances where the Board collects
information related to individuals,
exemption 6 to the FOIA would protect
information ‘‘the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.’’ 6 To the
extent the information collected relates
to examination, operating, or condition
reports prepared for the use of an
agency supervising financial
institutions, such information may be
kept confidential under exemption 8 to
the FOIA.
Consultation outside the agency: The
Board may consult with, collaborate
with, or jointly conduct surveys with
other agencies within the U.S. Currency
Program to include the System banks,
the United States Secret Service,
Department of Treasury, and Treasury’s
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
