If a comment alleges that there is no 

serious damage, or actual threat thereof, 

or that the reduction or elimination of 

the duty did not result in an increase in 

imports so as to cause serious damage, 

or actual threat thereof, the Committee 

will closely review any supporting 

information and documentation, such as 

information about domestic production 

or prices of like or directly competitive 

products. While we are taking 

comments from the public, particular 

consideration will be given to comments 

representing the views of actual 

producers in the United States of a like 

or directly competitive product. 

Any interested party may submit 

information to rebut, clarify, or correct 

public comments submitted by any 

other interested party at any time prior 

to the close of the public comment 

period. If public comments are 

submitted less than 10 days before, or 

on, the applicable deadline for 

submission of such public comments, 

an interested party may submit 

information to rebut, clarify, or correct 

the public comments no later than 10 

days after the applicable deadline for 

submission of public comments. 

Rebuttal comments must meet the 

requirements outlined in (1) through (2) 

of this Notice. 

The Committee will make a 

determination within 60 calendar days 

of the close of the comment period as 

to whether the United States will 

request consultations with Honduras. If 

the Committee is unable to make a 

determination within 60 calendar days, 

it will cause to be published a notice in 

the Federal Register, including the date 

by which it will make a determination. 

If the Committee makes a negative 

determination, it will cause this 

determination and the reasons therefore 

to be published in the Federal Register. 

If the Committee makes an affirmative 

determination that, as a result of the 

reduction or elimination of a duty, 

Honduran cotton, wool, and man-made 

fiber socks, merged Category 332/432 

and 632 part are being imported into the 

United States in such increased 

quantities, in absolute terms or relative 

to the domestic market for that article, 

and under such conditions as to cause 

serious damage, or actual threat thereof, 

to the U.S. industry producing cotton, 

wool, and man-made fiber socks, the 

United States will promptly notify 

Honduras in accordance with CAFTADR and will enter into consultations 

upon request.

Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), 7 

U.S.C. 6d(c), requires the CFTC to 

consult with the SEC and issue such 

rules, regulations, or orders as are 

necessary to avoid duplicative or 

conflicting regulations applicable to 

firms that are fully registered with the 

SEC as brokers or dealers (brokerdealers) and the CFTC as futures 

commission merchants (FCMs) 

involving provisions of the CEA that 

pertain to the treatment of customer 

funds. The CFTC, jointly with the SEC, 

issued regulations requiring such 

dually-registered firms to make choices 

as to how its customers’ transactions in 

security futures products (SFP) will be 

treated, either as securities transactions 

held in a securities account or as futures 

transactions held in a futures account. 

How an account is treated is important 

in the unlikely event of the insolvency 

of the firm. Securities accounts receive 

insurance protection under provisions 

of the Securities Investor Protection Act. 

By contrast, futures accounts are subject 

to the protections provided by the 

segregations requirements of the CEA. 

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. The OMB control 

numbers for the CFTC’s regulations 

were published on December 30, 1981. 

See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981). The 

OMB control number for the CFTC’s 

rules relating to security futures 

products was published on August 23, 

2001. See 66 FR 44490 (Aug. 23, 2001). 

The Commission would like to solicit 

comments to: 

• Evaluate 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; 

• Evaluate 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; 

• Enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• 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. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average .59 hours per response. 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: 144. 

Estimated number of responses: 

2,739. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,620.48 hours. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install, and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of colleting, 

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. 

Dated: August 15, 2007.

Secretary of the Commission.
