SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for each collection of information they conduct or
sponsor. ``Collection of Information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3)
and 5 CFR 1320.3 and includes agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed extension of the collection of information
listed herein. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
[[Page 29534]]
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Title Process for a Swap Execution Facility or Designated Contract
Market to Make a Swap Available to Trade (OMB Control No. 3038-0099).
This is a request for extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract The collection of information is needed to determine
which swaps should be subject to the trade execution requirement set
forth in section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA''). A
swap execution facility (``SEF'') or designated contract market
(``DCM'') that submits a determination that a swap is available to
trade must address at least one of several factors demonstrating that
the swap is suitable for trading pursuant to the trade execution
requirement. The Commission uses this collection of information to
facilitate the application of the trade execution requirement and
requirements associated with methods of swap execution under Parts 37
and 38 of the Commission's regulations.
With respect to the collection of information, the CFTC invites
comments on
Whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information will have a practical
use;
The accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
All comments must be submitted in English, or if not, accompanied
by an English translation. Comments will be posted as received to
httpswww.cftc.gov. You should submit only information that you wish
to make available publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider
information that you believe is exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, a petition for confidential treatment of
the exempt information may be submitted according to the procedures
established in Sec. 145.9 of the Commission's regulations.
The Commission reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to
review, pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or remove any or all of your
submission from httpswww.cftc.gov that it may deem to be
inappropriate for publication, such as obscene language. All
submissions that have been redacted or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection Request will be retained in
the public comment file and will be considered as required under the
Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable laws, and may be
accessible under the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement Sections 37.10 and 38.12 of the Commission's
regulations include information collection requirements within the
meaning of the PRA. These regulations permit a SEF or DCM to submit a
determination that a swap is available to trade to the Commission via
filing procedures set forth in Part 40 of the Commission's regulations.
The Commission estimates the burden of complying with these information
collection requirements to be 16 hours per response.
RespondentsAffected Entities SEFs, DCMs.
Estimated Number of Respondents 3.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent 16.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 48.
Frequency of Collection On occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
