Abstract: The FR 3036 is a component of the U.S. portion of a global data collection that is conducted by central banks once every three years and captures information relating to the volume of foreign exchange (FX) transactions. 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. More than 50 central banks plan to conduct this global data collection (the BIS survey) in 2025 (the 2025 Survey). Aggregated data from the FR 3036 is compiled and forwarded to the BIS, which uses the data to produce and publish these statistics. The FR 3036 is voluntary; respondents are not required to participate in the information collection.

Short Statement: The estimated total annual burden for the FR 3036 is 1,365 hours, and would increase to 1,458 hours with the revisions. The average hours per response is based on the estimate that it will take 1 additional hour to complete the incremental information in the turnover portion. For the settlement portion, reporting dealers use separate systems for trading versus settlement, and settlement systems group together trades; a higher burden of 9 hours per respondent is estimated as a result.
