SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 15, 1984, OMB delegated to the Board

OMB control numbers to collections of information conducted or
sponsored by the Board. In exercising this delegated authority, the
Board is directed to take every reasonable step to solicit comment. In
determining whether to approve a collection of information, the Board
will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.
During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed
PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and
other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public

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

OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Board'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
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 comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board
should modify the proposal.
Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years,
Without Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Recordkeeping Requirements Associated with
Regulation GG.
Collection identifier: FR GG.
OMB control number: 7100-0317.
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.\1\
