SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which 

implement provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), require that interested members 

of the public and affected agencies have 

an opportunity to comment on 

information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)). The Committee plans to 

submit a request to OMB to approve a 

revised collection of information 

concerning annual certification of 

nonprofit agencies serving people who 

are blind or who have other significant 

disabilities to participate in the 

AbilityOne Program. The Committee is 

requesting a 3-year term of approval for 

this information collection activity. 

Federal agencies 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 current collections of 

information are 3037–0001 and 3037– 

0002. The OMB control number for the 

revised collection of information is 

3037–0013. 

The JWOD Act of 1971 (41 U.S.C. 

8501–8506) is the authorizing 

legislation for the AbilityOne Program. 

The AbilityOne Program creates jobs 

and training opportunities for people 

who are blind or who have other severe 

disabilities. Its primary means of doing 

so is by requiring Government agencies 

to purchase selected products and 

services from nonprofit agencies 

employing such individuals. The 

AbilityOne Program is administered by 

the Committee. Two national, 

independent organizations, National 

Industries for the Blind (NIB) and 

SourceAmerica, help State and private 

nonprofit agencies participate in the 

AbilityOne Program. 

The implementing regulations for the 

JWOD Act, which are located at 41 CFR 

Chapter 51, provide the requirements, 

procedures, and standards for the 

AbilityOne Program. Section 51–4.3 of 

the regulations sets forth the standards 

that a nonprofit agency must meet to 

maintain qualification for participation 

in the AbilityOne Program. Under this 

section of the regulations, a nonprofit 

agency that wants to continue to 

participate in the AbilityOne Program 

must submit a completed copy of the 

appropriate Annual Certification form 

(Committee Form 403 or 404). This 

documentation helps the Committee 

determine whether the applicant 

nonprofit agency is meeting the 

requirements of the AbilityOne 

Program. 

This information collection request 

seeks approval for the Committee to 

continue to collect the information 

required under 41 CFR 51–4.3 of the 

regulations, but in a revised and 

expanded format, so that the Committee 

can continue to verify the 

appropriateness of nonprofit agencies 

that would like to participate in the 

AbilityOne Program. The previous 

separate forms have been combined into 

one form. The items being certified have 

been revised to match the regulatory 

requirements of section 51–4.3 and to 

collect other pertinent information on 

the qualifications of nonprofit agencies. 

New questions concerning nonprofit 

agency hours, wages, people performing 

direct labor, subcontracting and 

veterans have been added. In addition, 

the language at the bottom of the 

certification section has been revised. 

Title: Annual Representations and 

Certifications For AbilityOne Qualified 

Nonprofit Agency. 

OMB Control Number: 3037–0013. 

Form Number: Reps and Certs. 

Description of Respondents: 

Nonprofit agencies serving people who 

are blind or significantly disabled that 

participate in the AbilityOne Program. 

Annual Number of Respondents: 

About 570 nonprofit agencies serving 

people who are blind or significantly 

disabled will annually participate in the 

AbilityOne Program. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: Burden 

is estimated to average 8 hours per 

respondent. Total annual burden is 

4,560 hours. Note: this burden estimate 

is only for the reporting of information; 

a separate burden estimate exists for the 

recordkeeping requirement. 

We invite comments concerning this 

renewal on: (1) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of our agency’s 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents.

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) is announcing an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’), 

Federal agencies are required to publish 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information and to allow 60 days for 

public comment. The Commission 

adopted final rules, which prohibit 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 94 / Friday, May 15, 2015 / Notices 27931 

swap dealers (‘‘SDs’’) and major swap 

participants (‘‘MSPs’’) from interfering 

or attempting to influence the decisions 

of affiliated future commission 

merchants (‘‘FCMs’’) with regard to the 

provision of clearing services and 

activities and prohibit FCMs from 

permitting them to do so. The 

Commission also adopted rules to 

prohibit SDs and MSPs from adopting 

any process or taking any action that 

results in any unreasonable restraint on 

trade or imposes any material 

anticompetitive burden on trading or 

clearing, unless necessary or 

appropriate to achieve the purposes of 

the Commodity Exchange Act. The 

Commission adopted further rules 

requiring that derivatives clearing 

organization (‘‘DCO’’) rules provide for 

the non-discriminatory clearing of 

swaps executed bilaterally or through an 

unaffiliated designated contract market 

or swap execution facility. This notice 

solicits comments on the obligation to 

maintain records related to clearing 

documentation between the customer 

and the customer’s clearing member. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before July 14, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

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: Customer Clearing 

Documentation and Timing of 

Acceptance for Clearing (OMB Control 

No. 3038–0092). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’ or 

‘‘Act’’), as amended by the Dodd-Frank 

Act, directs the Commission to require 

futures commission merchants to 

implement conflict of interest 

procedures that address such issues the 

Commission determines to be 

appropriate. Similarly, section 4s(j)(5), 

as added by the Dodd-Frank Act, 

requires swap dealers and major swap 

participants to implement conflict of 

interest procedures that address such 

issues the Commission determines to be 

appropriate. Section 4s(j)(5) also 

requires swap dealers and major swap 

participants to ensure that any persons 

providing clearing activities or making 

determinations as to accepting clearing 

customers are separated by appropriate 

informational partitions from persons 

whose involvement in pricing, trading, 

or clearing activities might bias their 

judgment or contravene the core 

principle of open access. Section 4s(j)(6) 

of the CEA prohibits a swap dealer and 

major swap participant from adopting 

any process or taking any action that 

results in any unreasonable restraint on 

trade or imposes any material 

anticompetitive burden on trading or 

clearing, unless necessary or 

appropriate to achieve the purposes of 

the Act. Section 2(h)(1)(B)(ii) of the CEA 

requires that derivatives clearing 

organization rules provide for the nondiscriminatory clearing of swaps 

executed bilaterally or through an 

unaffiliated designated contract market 

or swap execution facility. 

Pursuant to these provisions, the 

Commission adopted § 1.71(d)(1) 

relating to FCMs and § 23.605(d)(1) 

relating to swap dealers and major swap 

participants. These regulations prohibit 

swap dealers and major swap 

participants from interfering or 

attempting to influence the decisions of 

affiliated FCMs with regard to the 

provision of clearing services and 

activities and would prohibit FCMs 

from permitting them to do so. The 

Commission also adopted § 23.607 to 

prohibits a swap dealer and major swap 

participant from adopting any process 

or taking any action that results in any 

unreasonable restraint on trade or 

imposes any material anticompetitive 

burden on trading or clearing, unless 

necessary or appropriate to achieve the 

purposes of the Act. The Commission 

adopted § 39.12(b)(2) to require that 

derivatives clearing organization rules 

provide for the non-discriminatory 

clearing of swaps executed bilaterally or 

through an unaffiliated designated 

contract market or swap execution 

facility. 

As discussed further below, the 

additional information collection 

burden arising from the regulations 

primarily is restricted to the costs 

associated with the affected registrants’ 

obligation to maintain records related to 

clearing documentation between the 

customer and the customer’s clearing 

member. 

The information collection obligations 

imposed by the regulations are 

necessary to implement certain 

provisions of the CEA, including 

ensuring that registrants exercise 

effective risk management and for the 

efficient operation of trading venues 

among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs. 

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 Information Collection 

Request 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 respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average between 16 hours for FCMs and 

SDs and MSPs, and 40 hours for DCOs 

per response. This estimate includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, disclose, or provide 

information to or for a federal agency. 

The total annual cost burden per 

respondent is estimated to be $736 for 

FCMs, SDs, and MSPs and $1,840 for 

DCOs. The Commission based its 

calculation on an hourly wage rate of 

$46 for a financial manager to maintain 

the data. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap 

dealers, Major Swap Participants, 

Futures Commission Merchants, and 

Derivatives Clearing Organizations. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

239 Swap Dealers, Major Swap 

Participants and Futures Commission 

Merchants, and 14 Derivatives Clearing 

Organizations. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 3,824 for FCMs, SDs, and 

MSPs, and 560 hours for DCOs. 

Frequency of collection: As needed. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
