SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``the Commission'')
is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed
collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal agencies
are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, and to allow 60 days for comment in
response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the extension
of requirements relating to information collected to assist the
Commission in soliciting and awarding contracts, OMB Control No. 3038-
0031.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 22, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Sonda Owens, Financial Management
Branch, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st Street

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sonda Owens, (202) 418-5182; FAX (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 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(c) 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. 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. To comply with this requirement, the Commission is
publishing notice of the proposed collection of information listed
below.
With respect to the following collection of information, the
Commission 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 of, 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
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.

The information collection consists of procurement activities
relating to solicitations, amendments to solicitations, requests for
quotations, construction contracts, awards of contracts, performance

information as follows:
