The FR 4102 was implemented in January
2007 as a result of revisions to the Federal Reserve's PSR policy.
Under the revised policy, systemically important payments and
settlement systems subject to the Federal Reserve's authority are
expected to complete and disclose publicly self-assessments against
the principles and minimum standards in the policy. The
self-assessment should be reviewed and approved by the system's
senior management and board of directors upon completion and made
readily available to the public. In addition, a self-assessment
should be updated following material changes to the system or its
environment and, at a minimum, reviewed by the system every two
years. The respondents are systemically important systems, as
defined by the PSR Policy.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
