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. To comply with this 

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information listed below. 

With respect to the following 

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. 

Gross Collection of Exchange-Set 

Margins for Omnibus Accounts, OMB 

Control Number 3038–0026—Extension 

Commission Rule 1.58 requires that 

FCMs margin omnibus accounts on a 

gross, rather than a net, basis. The rule 

provides that the carrying FCM need not 

collect margin for positions traded by a 

person through an omnibus account in 

excess of the amount which would be 

required if the same person, instead of 

trading through an omnibus account, 

maintained its own account with the 

carrying FCM. 

The Commission estimates the burden 

of this collection of information as 

follows:

ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN

17 CFR Section Annual number 

of respondents Frequency of response Total annualresponses 

Hours per

response Total hours 

17 CFR 1.58 ............................. 150 On occasion .............................. 600 .08 48 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection. 

This estimate is based on the number 

of written records maintained in the last 

three years. Although the burden varies, 

such records may involve analytical 

work and analysis, as well as multiple 

levels of review.

Dated: November 4, 2004.

Secretary of the Commission.
