General description of collection: The FR 3064 consists of two parts: the Debit Card Issuer Survey (FR 3064a) and the Payment Card Network Survey (FR 3064b). The FR 3064a collects data from issuers of debit cards (including generaluse prepaid cards) that, together with their affiliates, have assets of $10 billion or more.

This provision requires the Board, at least once every two years, to disclose aggregate or summary information concerning the costs incurred and interchange transaction fees charged or received by issuers or payment card networks in connection with the authorization, clearance, or settlement of electronic debit transactions as the Board considers appropriate and in the public interest. It also provides the Board with authority to require issuers and payment card networks to provide information to enable the Board to carry out the provisions of the subsection. The FR 3064 surveys are mandatory. The Board is required to release aggregate information from responses to the FR 3064 surveys. The Board additionally releases, at the network level, the percentage of total number of transactions, the percentage of total value of transactions, and the average transaction value for exempt and nonexempt issuers obtained on the FR 3064b because it can be calculated based on information the Board already releases and may be useful to issuers, merchants, and policymakers in choosing payment card networks and assessing the effects of interchange regulations. The information contained in individual responses to the FR 3064 surveys is nonpublic commercial or financial information, which is both customarily and actually treated as private by the respondent.

    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR 3064 surveys are 
authorized by section 920(a) of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, as 
amended by section 1075(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act. This provision requires the Board, at least 
once every two years, to disclose aggregate or summary information 
concerning the costs incurred and interchange transaction fees charged

authorization, clearance, or settlement of electronic debit 
transactions as the Board considers appropriate and in the public 
interest. It also provides the Board with authority to require issuers 
and payment card networks to provide information to enable the Board to 
carry out the provisions of the subsection. The FR 3064 surveys are 
mandatory.
    The Board is required to release aggregate information from 
responses to the FR 3064 surveys. The Board additionally releases, at 
the network level, the percentage of total number of transactions, the 
percentage of total value of transactions, and the average transaction 
value for exempt and non-exempt issuers obtained on the FR 3064b 
because it can be calculated based on information the Board already 
releases and may be useful to issuers, merchants, and policymakers in

regulations. The information contained in individual responses to the 
FR 3064 surveys is nonpublic commercial or financial information, which

The Board may therefore keep such information confidential pursuant to 
exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act.
