The proposal provided for a comment period ending on February 12, 2024.

In addition, to assist the public in commenting on the proposed new methodology for determining the base component of the interchange fee cap, additional data concerning this aspect of the proposal are being made available on the Board's website. 2 2 The additional data are being made available on the Reports and Data Collections page of the Regulation II section of the Board's website. *See https://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/regii-data-collections.htm.* By order of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, acting through the Secretary of the Board under delegated authority, January 22, 2024.
