General description of collection:
Regulation GG—Prohibition on Funding
of Unlawful internet Gambling (12 CFR
part 233) is related to the Unlawful
internet Gambling Enforcement Act of
2006. The FR GG is the Board’s
information collection associated with
Regulation GG and requires participants
in designated payment systems to
establish written policies and
procedures related to unlawful internet
gambling. These recordkeeping
requirements are contained in section 5
of Regulation GG. Policies and
procedures reasonably designed to
identify and block, or otherwise prevent
or prohibit, restricted transactions are
necessary because Congress found that
internet gambling is primarily funded
through personal use of payment system
instruments, credit cards, and wire
transfers.
Frequency: Event-generated.
Respondents: Depository institutions,
card system operators, credit unions,
and money transmitting business
operators.
Total estimated number of
respondents: 4,635.
Total estimated annual burden hours:
46,410.
Current actions: On March 7, 2024,
the Board published a notice in the
Federal Register (89 FR 16572)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, without revision, of
the FR GG. The comment period for this
notice expired on May 6, 2024. The
Board did not receive any comments.

sections 7 and 10 of the Federal Deposit

foreign nations to which its exposure is
largest and is at least $20 million. The
home country exposure must be

a breakdown for the home country and
each other reported country of adjusted
claims on unrelated foreign residents by
the sector of borrower or guarantor, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
Section 436(h) of the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007
(EISA) requires GSA to evaluate green
building certification systems and
provide a recommendation to the
Secretary of Energy who, in consultation
with the Department of Defense and
GSA, formally identifies system(s) to be
used across the Federal Government.
GSA’s Office of Federal HighPerformance Green Buildings has just
completed and published its 2024 Green
Building Certification System Review
Findings Report (Findings Report),
which can be accessed at https://
www.gsa.gov/gbcertificationreview. This
report summarizes GSA’s formal review
of six green building certification
systems (BOMA BEST, BREEAM, Green
Globes, LEED, Living Building
Challenge, and Passive House US, Inc).
These systems were assessed against a
set of review criteria contained in
statute that evaluate how they were
developed and how the systems align
with current Federal green building
performance requirements.
Request for Public Comment: GSA is
seeking public comment on its draft
recommendations to the Secretary of
Energy on those green building
certification systems that ‘‘will most
likely encourage a comprehensive and
environmentally sound approach’’ to
the certification of high-performance
green Federal buildings. GSA’s draft
recommendations can be found on its
website: https://www.gsa.gov/
gbcertificationreview.
Draft Recommendations
Based on the information contained in
its Findings Report, GSA recommends
that agencies consider using LEED or
Green Globes for new construction or
major renovation projects. Both of these
systems meet the basic requirements
established under DOE Rule: ‘‘Green
