The FR 4102 was implemented in January 2007 as a result of revisions to the Federal Reserve's PSR policy. Under the revised policy, systemically important payments and settlement systems subject to the Federal Reserve's authority are expected to complete and disclose publicly self-assessments against the principles and minimum standards in the policy. The self-assessment should be reviewed and approved by the system's senior management and board of directors upon completion and made readily available to the public. In addition, a self-assessment should be updated following material changes to the system or its environment and, at a minimum, reviewed by the system every two years. The respondents are systemically important systems, as defined by the PSR Policy.
Decrease in burden hours reflects the removal of the FR 4102 initial self-assessment information collection. Each systemically important payments and settlement system subject to the Federal Reserve's authority was required to complete and publish its initial self assessment by December 31, 2007.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
