SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Rules Relating to Review of National Futures Association

Decisions in Disciplinary, Membership Denial, Registration, and Member

Responsibility Actions, OMB Control No. 3038-0043. This is a request

for extension of a currently approved information collection.

Abstract: 17 CFR part 171 rules require a registered futures

association to provide fair and orderly procedures for membership and

disciplinary actions. The Commission's review of decisions of

registered futures associations in disciplinary, membership denial,

registration, and member responsibility actions is governed by Section

17(h)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. Section 21(h)(2). The

rules establish procedures and standards for Commission review of such

actions, and the reporting requirements included in the procedural

rules are either directly required by Section 17 of the Act or are

necessary to the type of appellate review role Congress intended the

Commission to undertake when it adopted that provision.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required

to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the

CFTC's regulations

were published on December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981).

comments on this collection of information was published on February 8,

2006 (71 FR 6455).
