Abstract: The Payments Research Survey (FR 3067) would collect information, as needed, on specific and time sensitive issues, which may affect the Federal Reserve's decision making. Respondents may comprise depository institutions; financial and non-financial businesses and related entities; individual consumers; or households. This survey may be mandatory for a certain subset of entities and voluntary for all other respondents. The Federal Reserve would use this event-driven survey to obtain information specifically tailored to the Federal Reserve System's supervisory, regulatory, fiscal, and operational responsibilities. The Federal Reserve may conduct various versions of the survey during the year and, as needed, survey respondents up to four times per year. The frequency and content of the questions will depend on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative developments.
