Abstract: The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (12 U.S.C. 5901 et seq.) (GENIUS Act or the Act) was enacted on July 18, 2025. The Act establishes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoin activities. The Act sets forth various regulatory and licensing requirements for permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers. This information collection applies to permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers under the OCC’s jurisdiction (including subsidiaries of insured national banks or Federal savings associations, Federal qualified payment stablecoin issuers, and foreign payment stablecoin issuers). The information collection requirements ensure that permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers seeking to issue payment stablecoins in the United States conduct their operations in a safe and sound manner and in accordance with applicable Federal statutes and regulations. The information is necessary for regulatory and examination purposes.
