42348 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2017 / Notices 

1The issuer and government surveys request 

information on all federal, state, or local 

government-administered payment programs that 

provide a general-use prepaid card (or other debit 

card) disbursement option to payment recipients. 

The government survey may be distributed to 

federal government agencies in addition to state and 

local governments, but collections of information 

from federal government agencies are not subject to 

the Paperwork Reduction Act and, thus, are not 

included in this discussion. 

U.S. territories include American Samoa, Guam, 

Midway Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto 

Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Following Report 

Report title: GovernmentAdministered, General-Use Prepaid 

Card Surveys. 

Agency form number: FR 3063a and 

FR 3063b. 

OMB control number: 7100–0343. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondents: Issuers of governmentadministered, general-use prepaid cards 

(FR 3063a) and governments that 

administer general-use prepaid card 

programs (FR 3063b). 

Estimated number of respondents: FR 

3063a: 25; FR 3063b: 75. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

FR 3063a: 25 hours; FR 3063b: 15 hours. 

Estimated annual burden hours: FR 

3063a: 625 hours; FR 3063b: 1,125

General Description of Report: The 

issuer survey (FR 3063a) collects data 

from issuers of governmentadministered, general-use prepaid cards 

including card program information, 

cards outstanding, card funding, ATM 

transactions, purchase transactions, fees 

paid by issuers to third parties, 

interchange fees, and cardholder fees. 

The issuer survey (FR 3063a) is 

mandatory. 

The government survey (FR 3063b) 

collects data from state governments, 

the District of Columbia, and U.S. 

territories (collectively, state 

governments), and municipal 

government offices located within the 

United States (local government offices) 

that administer general-use prepaid card 

payment programs.1 Data collected from 

government offices include program 

information, the number of cards 

outstanding, and funding information. 

The government survey (FR 3063b) is 

voluntary. 

The Board uses data from these 

surveys to support an annual report to 

the Congress on the prevalence of use of 

general-use prepaid cards in federal, 

state, and local governmentadministered payment programs and on 

the interchange and cardholder fees 

charged with respect to such use of such 

cards. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The Board’s Legal 

Division has determined that both the 

issuer survey and the government 

survey are authorized by subsection 

920(a) of the Electronic Fund Transfer 

Act, which was amended by section 

1075(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act (15 

U.S.C. 1693o–2). This subsection 

requires the Board to submit an annual 

report to Congress on the prevalence of 

the use of general-use prepaid cards in 

Federal, State or local governmentadministered payment programs and the 

interchange transaction fees and cardholder fees charged with respect to the 

use of such general-use prepaid cards 

(15 U.S.C. 1693o–2(a)(7)(D)). It also 

provides the Board with authority to 

require issuers to provide information to 

enable the Board to carry out the 

provisions of the subsection (15 U.S.C. 

1693o–2(a)(3)(B)). The obligation of 

issuers to respond to the issuer survey 

(FR 3063a) is mandatory. However, the 

obligation of state governments and 

local government offices to respond to 

the government survey (FR 3063b) is 

voluntary. All of the information 

collected on the government survey and 

a limited amount of information 

collected on the issuer survey is 

publicly available, and thus, is not 

accorded confidential treatment. 

However, most of the information 

collected on the issuer survey is not 

publicly available and may be kept 

confidential under exemption (b)(4) of 

the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 

which exempts from disclosure ‘‘trade 

secrets and commercial or financial 

information obtained from a person and 

privileged or confidential’’ (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4)). Such data may be kept 

confidential under exemption 4 if the 

release of data would cause substantial 

harm to the competitive position of the 

issuer. For example, certain issuer 

survey responses would likely contain 

information related to an organization’s 

revenue structure and other proprietary 

and commercial information and the 

release of such information would cause 

substantial harm to the competitive 

position of the issuer. 

Current actions: On June 5, 2017, the 

Board published a notice in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 25801) requesting 

public comment for 60 days on the 

proposal to extend, without revision, 

the FR 3063a and FR 3063b. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on August 4, 2017. The Board did not 

receive any comments. The information 

collection will be extended as proposed.
