SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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. 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. 

Title: Ownership and Control Reports, 

Forms 102/102S, 40/40S, and 71 (Trader 

and Account Identification Reports) 

(OMB Control No. 3038–0103). This is 

a request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: The final rules 1 created new 

information collection requirements via 

§§ 17.01, 18.04, 18.05, and 20.5. 

Specifically, § 17.01 provides for the 

filing of Form 102A, Form 102B and 

Form 71, as follows: 

• Pursuant to § 17.01(a), futures 

commission merchants (‘‘FCMs’’), 

clearing members, and foreign brokers 

shall identify new special accounts to 

the Commission on Form 102A; 

• Pursuant to § 17.01(b), clearing 

members shall identify volume 

threshold accounts to the Commission 

on Form 102B; and 

• Pursuant to § 17.01(c), omnibus 

volume threshold account originators 

and omnibus reportable sub-account 

originators shall identify reportable 

subaccounts to the Commission on 

Form 71 when requested via a special 

call by the Commission or its designee. 

Additional reporting requirements 

arise from § 18.04, which results in the 

collection of information via Form 40 

from and regarding traders who own, 

hold, or control reportable positions; 

volume threshold account controllers; 

persons who own volume threshold 

accounts; reportable sub-account 

controllers; and persons who own 

reportable sub-accounts. 

Reporting requirements also arise 

from § 20.5(a), which requires all 

reporting entities to submit Form 102S 

for swap counterparty or customer 

consolidated accounts with reportable 

positions. In addition, § 20.5(b) requires 

every person subject to books or records 

under current § 20.6 to complete a 40S 

filing after a special call upon such 

person by the Commission. 

In addition to the reporting 

requirements summarized above, 

§ 18.05 imposes recordkeeping 

requirements upon: (1) Traders who 

own, hold, or control a reportable 

futures or options on futures position; 

(2) volume threshold account 

controllers; (3) persons who own 

volume threshold accounts; (4) 

reportable sub-account controllers; and 

(5) persons who own reportable 

subaccounts. 

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 https://

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.2

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 https://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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Real Estate 

Settlement Procedures Act (Regulation 

X). 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0016. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved

business or other for-profits, not-forprofit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

12,506.

Abstract: Regulation X 1 implements 

the Real Estate Settlement Procedures 

Act (RESPA).2 Regulation X contains 

information collections in the form of 

various disclosure and recordkeeping 

requirements. The disclosures in this 

collection are required by the statute 

and implementing regulations. 

Consumers use the disclosures required 

by RESPA and Regulation X to inform 

their choice of settlement service 

providers, review the final terms of a 

settlement, understand whom to contact 

about questions concerning their 

mortgage loan, and identify/protect 

themselves against inaccurate or 

questionable loan servicing practices. 

Regulation X requires these 

information collections. However, to the 

extent that compliance with 

requirements in Regulation Z3 provides 

an exemption from compliance with 

similar requirements in Regulation X, 

any relevant information collection 

burden is accounted for in OMB Control 

Number 3170–0015.

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Ways to minimize the burden of the
