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 collection of information listed below. 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.
Title: Response to Notification of Termination of Exemptive Relief
Issued Pursuant to Regulation 30.10 (OMB Control No. 3038-0116). This
is a request for extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Commission regulation 30.10 provides a process by which
persons located outside the U.S. and subject to a comparable regulatory
structure in the jurisdiction in which they are located to seek an
exemption from certain of the requirements under Part 30 of the
Commission's regulations. Regulation 30.10 codifies the process by
which the Commission may terminate such exemptive relief after
appropriate notice and opportunity to respond. Regulation 30.10(c)(3)
provides any party affected by the Commission's determination to
terminate relief with the opportunity to respond to the notification in
writing no later than 30 business days following the receipt of the
notification, or at such time as the Commission permits in writing.
These reporting requirements are necessary for the ongoing evaluation
of the effectiveness of the Commission's program for regulatory
deference.
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
https://www.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.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 17 CFR 145.9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 https://www.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 ICR 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: The Commission is not revising its original
estimate of the burden for this proposed renewal of collection. The
respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 8.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 8.
Frequency of Collection: Once.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
