In order to increase the transparency of this important organization, the Center for Reguhlatory Effectiveness, a recognized regulatory watchdog, has established an Interactive Public Docket (IPD) dedicated to venting its operations and alllowing the public to send it comments on a 24/7 basis.
The FRB operations are subject to the “good government” statutes which “regulate the regulators”. The “good government” statutes include the Data Quality Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act .
This IPD provides a convenient mechanism to provide your views to the FRB on a 24/7 basis; simply click on the Interchange Discussion Forum to the right of this page.
The Interchange Fees Discussion Forum is a repository of influential analyses dealing with interchange fees.
Please note that all the Forums are interactive and you may provide comments and submit documents with or without your using your name. No registration is required–simply type your comments.
