The FR 4102 was implemented in January
2007 as a result of revisions to the Federal Reserve's Payment
System Risk (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).
