SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

On September 22, 2014 notice (79 FR 

56573) was published that the applicant 

requests a five-year research permit to 

conduct research on sea turtles bycaught 

in three longline fisheries in the Pacific 

Ocean around Hawaii and American 

Samoa to assess sea turtle post-hooking 

survival, movements, and ecology in 

pelagic habitats. NMFS is currently 

processing this request. The applicant is 

requesting to revise the number of 

turtles that could be taken for research 

in the Hawaii deep-set longline fishery. 

Each species’ take numbers would be 

reduced except for leatherback sea 

turtles which would increase from 13 to 

24 turtles annually. This change is 

needed to keep the requested research 

take activities consistent with a new 

2014 Biological Opinion which changed 

the number of sea turtles that may be 

incidental bycaught in this commercial 

fishery. All other aspects of the 

application would remain the same.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

in the Federal Register (79 FR 3181) 

that a request for a scientific research 

permit to take hawksbill sea turtles had 

been submitted by the above-named 

individual. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

Mr. Wood has been issued a research 

permit to continue to describe the 

abundance and movements of an 

aggregation of hawksbill sea turtles 

found on the barrier reefs of southeast 

Florida. Up to 50 sea turtles may be 

approached during dives for observation 

and photographs annually. Up to 25 

additional animals may be hand 

captured, measured, flipper and passive 

integrated transponder tagged, 

photographed, tissue sampled, and 

released annually. In addition, up to six 

sub-adult and six adult hawksbills may 

be captured for the above procedures 

and fitted with a satellite transmitter 

prior to their release. The permit is valid

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.

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 

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 

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. 

Title: ‘‘Commodity Pool Operators 

and Commodity Trading Advisors: 

Amendments to Compliance 

Obligations,’’ (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0023). This is a request for extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Pursuant to the Commodity 

Exchange Act, as amended by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’), 

Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 

(2010), the CFTC promulgated rules and 

forms relating to registration with the 

Commission applicable to 

intermediaries, and employees and 

principals thereof, operating in the 

futures, options, swaps, and retail forex 

markets. There were no new 

requirements imposed; however, due to 

amendments to the Commodity 

Exchange Act made by the Dodd-Frank 

Act, there was an increase in registrants 

in certain registration categories. 

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 http://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 § 145.9 

of the Commission’s 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 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.
