SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Procedural Requirements for 

Requests for Interpretative, No-Action, 

and Exemptive Letters (OMB Control 

No. 3038–0049). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Commission Regulation 

140.99 requires persons submitting 

requests for exemptive, no-action, and 

interpretative letters to provide specific 

written information, certified as to 

completeness and accuracy, and to 

update that information to reflect 

material changes. Regulation 140.99 was 

promulgated pursuant to the 

Commission’s rulemaking authority 

contained in section 8a(5) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 

12a(5) (2000). Regulation 41.3 requires 

securities brokers and dealers 

submitting requests for exemptive 

orders to provide specified written 

information in support of such requests. 

Regulation 41.3 was promulgated in 

response to the requirement in the 

Commodity Futures Modernization Act 

of 2000 that the Commission establish 

procedures for requesting such orders. 

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). The 

Federal Register notice with a 60-day 

comment period soliciting comments on 

this collection of information was 

published on December 30, 2013 (78 FR 

79408). 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 0.91 hours per response, ranging 

from 0.75 hours for preparation of a 

notice to 9 hours for preparation and 

submission of a request for a no-action, 

exemptive, or interpretative letter. 

These estimates include the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information.
