• Ways to minimize the burden of

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.

contained in section 8a(5) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 

12a(5) (2000). Regulation 41.3 requires 

securities brokers and dealers 

submitting requests for exemptive 

orders to provide specified written 

information in support of such requests. 

Regulation 41.3 was promulgated in 

response to the requirement in the 

Commodity Futures Modernization Act
