    General description of report: On November 18, 2008, the Board and 
the Department of the Treasury (the agencies) published a joint notice 
of final rulemaking in the Federal Register (73 FR 69382) adopting a 
rule on a prohibition on the funding of unlawful internet gambling 
pursuant to the Unlawful internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (the 
Act). Identical sets of the final joint rule with identically numbered 
sections were adopted by the Board and the Department of the Treasury 
(the Treasury) within their respective titles of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (12 CFR part 233 for the Board and 31 CFR part 132 for the 
Treasury). The compliance date for the joint rule was June 1, 2010 (74 
FR 62687). The collection of information is set out in sections 5 and 6 
of the joint rule.\1\ Section 5 of the joint rule, as required by the 
Act, requires all non-exempt participants in designated payment systems 
to establish and implement written policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit 
transactions in connection with unlawful internet gambling. Section 6 
of the joint rule provides non-exclusive examples of policies and 
procedures deemed by the agencies to be reasonably designed to identify 
and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit transactions restricted by 
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 802 of the Act requires the agencies to prescribe 
joint regulations requiring each designated payment system, and all 
participants in such systems, to identify and block or otherwise 
prevent or prohibit restricted transactions through the 
establishment of policies and procedures reasonably designed to 
identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit the acceptance 
of restricted transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board is authorized 
pursuant to section 802 of the Act (31 U.S.C. 5364(a)) to prescribe 
regulations requiring designated payment systems and participants 
therein to establish of policies and procedures to identify and block 
or otherwise prevent or prohibit restricted transactions. The FR 4026 
is mandatory. The policies and procedures are not required to be 
submitted to the Board, so normally no confidentiality issues would be 
implicated. To the extent such policies and procedures are obtained by 
the Board through the examination process, they may be kept 
confidential under exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act (5 
U.S.C. 552(b)(8)), which protects information contained in or related 
to an examination of a financial institution.
    Current actions: On April 17, 2018, the agencies published a joint 
notice in the Federal Register (83 FR 16857) requesting public comment 
for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the Recordkeeping 
Requirements Associated with Regulation GG (Prohibition on Funding of 
Unlawful Internet Gambling). The comment period for this notice expired 
on June 18, 2018. The agencies did not receive any comments. The 
information collection will be extended as proposed and the agencies 
are publishing separate final notices.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, August 15, 
2018.
Ann Misback,
Secretary of the Board.
