Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 9, 2009 / Notices 27321 

1 ‘‘Non-statistical’’ is defined precisely in 

CIPSEA. Loosely, an information collection 

undertaken for a non-statistical purpose would be 

one intended to support a regulatory action or other 

action specifically targeted to the entity on which 

data were collected. 

Reserve. In circumstances where 

identifying information is provided to 

the Federal Reserve, such information 

could possibly be protected from 

Freedom of Information Act disclosure 

by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4) and (6)). 

The Federal Reserve Board’s 

Microeconomic Surveys section in the 

Division of Research and Statistics is an 

official statistical unit, as defined under 

the Confidential Information Protection 

and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501). When 

information is collected by a private 

contractor under the oversight of that 

section, there are stringent requirements 

for protecting the data and respondents 

may be given a legally binding pledge of 

confidentiality. The pledge would 

disallow any use of the data for a nonstatistical purpose.1 When the Federal 

Reserve collects data directly (that is, 

without the use of a private data 

collection company or other such 

agent), respondents may also be offered 

such a pledge if the data are intended 

for a statistical purpose. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve would 

use this event-driven survey to obtain 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory, 

regulatory, operational, and other 

responsibilities. The Federal Reserve 

proposes to conduct the FR 3051 up to 

13 times per year (including one survey 

on an annual basis and another on a 

monthly basis). The frequency and 

content of the questions would depend 

on changing economic, regulatory, or 

legislative developments. 

Current Actions: On March 30, 2009, 

the Federal Reserve published a notice 

in the Federal Register (74 FR 14126) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the implementation of the 

Microeconomic Survey. The comment 

period for this notice expired on May 

29, 2009. The Federal Reserve did not 

receive any comments; the survey will 

be implemented as proposed.
