SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal

    The Board invites public comment on the following information 
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the 
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 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 
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 Federal 
Reserve should modify the proposed revisions prior to giving final 
approval.
    Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the extension for 
three years, with revision, of the following report:
    Report title: Ongoing Intermittent Survey of Households.
    Agency form number: FR 3016.
    OMB control number: 7100-0150.
    Frequency: Monthly.
    Respondents: Households and individuals.
    Estimated number of respondents: 500.
    Estimated average hours per response: 1.58 minutes.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 158 hours.
    General Description of Report: The Board uses this voluntary survey 
to obtain household-based information specifically tailored to the 
Board's policy, regulatory, and operational responsibilities. The Board 
primarily uses the survey to study consumer financial decisions, 
attitudes, and payment behavior. Currently, the University of 
Michigan's Survey Research Center (SRC) includes survey questions on 
behalf of the Board in an addendum to their regular bi-weekly Survey of 
Consumer Attitudes and Expectations. The SRC conducts the survey by 
telephone with a sample of 500 households and asks questions of special 
interest to the Board.
    Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to eliminate the Division of 
Consumer and Community Affairs and other divisions' SRC surveys, as 
well as non-SRC surveys, as these surveys have not been conducted since 
2010 and are not expected to be utilized in the next several years.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board's Legal Division 
has determined that Section 2A of the Federal Reserve Act (``FRA'') 
requires that the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Open Market 
Committee maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit 
aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to 
increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum 
employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates (12 
U.S.C. 225a). Under section 12A of the FRA, the Federal Open Market 
Committee is required to implement regulations relating to the open 
market operations conducted by Federal Reserve Banks with a view to 
accommodating commerce and business and with regard to their bearing 
upon the general credit situation of the country (12 U.S.C. 263). 
Because the Board and the Federal Open Market Committee use the 
information obtained on the FR 3016 to fulfill these

[[Page 23250]]

obligations, these statutory provisions provide the legal authorization 
for the collection of information on the FR 3016. The FR 3016 is a 
voluntary survey. No issue of confidentiality normally arises under the 
FR 3016, as names and any other characteristics that would permit 
personal identification of respondents are not reported to the Board. 
However, should the Board obtain such information, it would likely be 
exempt under exemption 6 of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(6)) to the extent that it includes ``personnel and medical files 
and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly 
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.''

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, May 17, 2017.
Ann E. Misback,
Secretary of the Board.
