24See The Federal Reserve in the Payments 

System (issued 1984; revised 1990), Federal Reserve 

Regulatory Service 9–1558, http://

Service via the FedLine Direct solution 

or uses the import/export feature of 

FedPayments Manager-Funds over the 

FedLine Advantage solution, do you 

develop your own software or rely on a 

software vendor? 

2. What costs would your institution 

incur if the Reserve Banks adopt ISO 

20022 for the Fedwire Funds Service? If 

possible, please provide dollar estimates 

or ranges. 

3. Would the benefits of adopting ISO 

20022 for the Fedwire Funds Service 

outweigh any associated costs for your 

institution? 

VIII. Competitive Impact Analysis 

The Board conducts a competitive 

impact analysis when it considers a rule 

or policy change that may have a 

substantial effect on payment system 

participants. Specifically, the Board 

determines whether there would be a 

direct or material adverse effect on the 

ability of other service providers to 

compete with the Federal Reserve due 

to differing legal powers or due to the 

Federal Reserve’s dominant market 

position deriving from such legal 

differences.24

The Board does not believe that the 

proposal to adopt ISO 20022 for the 

Fedwire Funds Service would have an 

adverse impact on other service 

providers. As described above, the 

current, proprietary message format for 

the Fedwire Funds Service is 

interoperable with the proprietary 

message format for the CHIPS system. 

As further described above, the Reserve 

Banks have worked with TCH on plans 

to align ISO 20022 implementation for 

the Fedwire Funds Service and CHIPS 

where possible; the Reserve Banks and 

TCH have indicated that such 

coordination will benefit their common 

customers. If the Reserve Banks and 

TCH each adopt ISO 20022 for the 

Fedwire Funds Service and CHIPS, 

respectively, the message formats for the 

two systems will remain interoperable. 

By order of the Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System, June 28, 2018. 

Michele Taylor Fennell, 

Assistant Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Under Federal contracts requiring that 

equipment (e.g., pumps, fans, 

generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in 

a project, the Government must 

determine that the equipment meets the 

contract requirements. Therefore, the 

contractor must submit sufficient data 

on the particular equipment to allow the 

Government to analyze the item. 

The Government uses the submitted 

data to determine whether or not the 

equipment meets the contract 

requirements in the categories of 

performance, construction, and 

durability. This data is placed in the 

contract file and used during the 

inspection of the equipment when it 

arrives on the project and when it is 

made operable. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

The information collection 

requirement at FAR clause 52.236–5 has 

decreased based on information from 

the FY 2017 FPDS database which 

shows a lower number of estimated 

respondents that are subject to the 

clause. 

Respondents: 1,377. 

Responses per Respondent: 2.0. 

Annual Responses: 2,754. 

Hours per Response: .25. 

Total Burden Hours: 689. 

C. Public Comments 

A notice was published in the Federal 

Register at 83 FR 11201 on March 14, 

2018. No comments were received. 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways in which we can 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of appropriate 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

OBTAINING COPIES OF 

PROPOSALS: Requesters may obtain a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Section 5 of the International Air 

Transportation Fair Competitive 

Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 1517) 

(Fly America Act) requires that all 

Federal agencies and Government 

contractors and subcontractors at FAR 

47.402, use U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. 

Government-financed international air 

transportation of personnel (and their 

personal effects) or property, to the 

extent that service by those carriers is 

available. It requires the Comptroller 

General of the United States, in the 

absence of satisfactory proof of the 

necessity for foreign-flag air 

transportation, to disallow expenditures 

from funds, appropriated or otherwise 

established for the account of the United 

States, for international air 

transportation secured aboard a foreignflag air carrier if a U.S.-flag air carrier is 

available to provide such services. 

In the event that the contractor selects 

a carrier other than a U.S.-flag air carrier 

for international air transportation 

during performance of the contract, the 

contractor shall include per FAR clause
