SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Rules Relating to the Operations 

and Activities of Commodity Pool 

Operators and Commodity Trading 

Advisors and to Monthly Reporting by 

Futures Commission Merchants (OMB 

Control No. 3038–0005). This is a 

request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: The various collections of 

information required by part 4 of the 

Commission’s regulations were 

previously approved by OMB in 

accordance with the PRA and assigned 

OMB control number 3038–0005.2 The 

Commission offers the following 

summary of the renewal and the 

resulting impact on existing burden 

hour estimates associated with this 

information collection. The Commodity 

Exchange Act (CEA) empowers the 

Commission with the authority to 

require commodity pool operators 

(CPOs) and commodity trading advisors 

(CTAs) to maintain books and records 

and to file reports as required by the 

Commission.3 The Commission also has 

the power to promulgate such 

regulations as it deems necessary to 

implement the purposes of the CEA.4 It 

is pursuant to this authority that the 

Commission has promulgated the 

various compliance requirements for 

CPOs and CTAs in 17 CFR part 4. The 

reporting, filing, and recordkeeping 

requirements within part 4 of the 

Commission’s regulations were adopted 

to assist and inform customers, to 

establish customer protection initiatives 

for investors, to facilitate monitoring 

intermediary compliance with part 4 

regulations by the Commission and its 

delegee, the National Futures 

Association (NFA), and to enable the 

Commission to better monitor the 

market risks posed by its registrants. 

The information collections are 

necessary to enable the Commission and 

NFA to accomplish the purposes of both 

the CEA and the compliance regime set 

forth in part 4 of the Commission’s 

regulations. 

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. On July 12, 2023, the 

Commission published in the Federal 

Register notice of the proposed 

extension of this information collection 

and provided 60 days for public 

comment on the proposed extension, 88 

FR 44280 (60-Day Notice). The 

Commission did not receive any 

relevant substantive comments on the 

60-Day Notice. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

be as follows: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: (1) All 

persons filing reports required by 17 

CFR part 4, and (2) all principals of such 

persons. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

49,083. 

Estimated number of exempt pools/ 

reports per respondent: 8.8. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 432,325 hours. 

(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 

Dated: September 19, 2023.
