The FR 3036 is a component of the U.S. portion of a global data collection (the BIS survey) that is conducted by central banks once every three years and captures information relating to the volume of foreign exchange (FX) transactions. Currently, more than 50 central banks plan to conduct the BIS survey in 2022. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), of which the Board is a member, compiles aggregate national data from each central bank to produce and publish global market statistics. Aggregated data from the FR 3036 is compiled and forwarded to the BIS, which uses the data to produce and publish these statistics.

The estimated total annual burden for the FR 3036 is 1,155 hours, and would increase to 1,365 hours with the revisions. The estimated average hours per response increased from 55 to 65 hours with the addition of the Settlement of Foreign Exchange Transactions table, resulting in an increase of 210 annual burden hours. Reporting dealers use separate systems for trading versus settlement, and settlement systems group together trades; a slightly higher burden is estimated to result.
