*Title:*                     Market Surveys (OMB Control No. 3038-0017). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection.                

*Abstract:*                     Sections 8(a)(i) and (ii) of the Commodity Exchange Act provide that for the efficient execution of the provisions of the Act and in order to inform Congress, the Commission may make investigations concerning futures markets and may publish general information from such investigations. In certain instances in response to abrupt and substantial changes in market prices, Congressional inquiry or other reasons, the Commission may conduct full market investigations requiring that all persons holding futures positions on the date in question in a specific market be identified. In such cases, the Commission issues its call for survey information pursuant to Commission Rule 21.02, 17 CFR 21.02.                

                    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to                           ( print page 38517)                        respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

*Burden statement:*                     The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to average 1.75 hours per response for such a survey. 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.                

*Respondents/Affected Entities:*                     400.                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     400.
