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(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. 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: Gross Collection of ExchangeSet Margins for Omnibus Accounts 

(OMB Control Number 3038–0026). This 

is a request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: Commission Regulation 1.58 

requires that FCMs margin omnibus 

accounts on a gross, rather than a net, 

basis. The regulation provides that the 

carrying FCM need not collect margin 

for positions traded by a person through 

an omnibus account in excess of the 

amount that would be required if the 

same person, instead of trading through 

an omnibus account, maintained its 

own account with the carrying FCM. To 

prevent abuse of this exception to the 

regulation, a carrying FCM must 

maintain a written representation from 

the originating FCM or foreign broker 

that the particular positions held in the 

omnibus account are part of a hedge or 

spread transaction. This rule is 

promulgated pursuant to the 

Commission’s rulemaking authority 

contained in Sections 4c, 4d, 4f, 4g and 

8a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 

U.S.C. 6c, 6d, 6f, 6g and 12a (2000). 

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. 

You should submit only information 

that you wish to make available 

publically. 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 Section 

145.9 of the Commissions regulations.1

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 http://www.cftc.gov that it any 

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 revising its estimate of the burden due 

to the reduced number of futures 

commission merchants in the industry. 

The respondent burden for this 

collection is estimated to be as follows: 

• Estimated number of respondents: 

53. 

• Total annual responses: 212. 

• Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 17. 

• Frequency of Collection: On 

occasion. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection.
