Abstract: The Board uses this ad hoc collection to obtain information, as needed, on specific and time-sensitive issues, related to payments research, which may provide insights that augment the Federal Reserve System’s effectiveness within the payments system. Respondents may comprise depository institutions; financial and nonfinancial businesses; for-profit and nonprofit enterprises; federal, state, and local governments; individual consumers; or households (see full list in the Respondent Panel section below). The Board may conduct various surveys under this collection, as needed, all of which would be voluntary. The frequency and content of the questions depend on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative developments, as the Federal Reserve System’s role in the payments system bestows it with, among other things, supervisory, regulatory, fiscal, or operational responsibilities relating to payments issues.
