Comment Request

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.


SUMMARY: 

Background

    On June 15, 1984, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

[[Page 35427]]

delegated to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
(Board) its authority under the Paperwork Reduction Act, as per 5 CFR 
1320.16, to approve of and assign OMB control numbers to collection of 
information requests and requirements conducted or sponsored by the 
Board under conditions set forth in 5 CFR 1320 Appendix A.1. Board-
approved collections of information are incorporated into the official 
OMB inventory of currently approved collections of information. Copies 
of the OMB 83-Is and supporting statements and approved collection of 
information instruments are placed into OMB's public docket files. The 
Federal Reserve may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not 
required to respond to, an information collection that has been 
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless 
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    The following information collection, which is being handled under 
this delegated authority, has received initial Board approval and is 
hereby published for comment. At the end of the comment period, the 
proposed information collection, along with an analysis of comments and 
recommendations received, will be submitted to the Board for final 
approval under OMB delegated authority. Comments are invited on the 
following:
    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the Federal Reserve's functions; including 
whether the information has practical utility;
    b. The accuracy of the Federal Reserve's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

handled their complaints and to solicit suggestions for improving the 
complaint investigation process.
