Whistleblower Office, Commodity 

Futures Trading Commission, (202) 

418–5051; email: cmcglosson@cftc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection 

of information the agency conducts or 

sponsors. ‘‘Collection of Information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) 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, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing 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.1

With respect to the following 

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 

choose 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. 

Title: The Whistleblower Provision of 

Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange 

Act (‘‘CEA’’), OMB Control Number 

3038–0082. This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: 17 CFR 165.3(a) requires the 

submission of information to the 

Commission on a Form TCR. The Form 

TCR, ‘‘Tip, Complaint, or Referral,’’ and 

the instructions thereto, are designed to 

capture basic identifying information 

about a complainant and elicit sufficient 

information to determine whether the 

conduct alleged suggests a violation of 

the Commodity Exchange Act. 17 CFR 

165.7(b)(1) requires the submission of 

information to the Commission on a 

Form WB–APP. The Form WB–APP, 

‘‘Application for Award for Original 

Information Provided Pursuant to 

Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange 

Act,’’ and the instructions thereto, are 

designed to elicit sufficient information 

to determine whether and to what 

extent a claimant qualifies for a 

whistleblower award. 

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 

Review will be retained in the public 

comment file and will be considered as 

required under the Administrative 

Procedure Act and other applicable 

laws, and may be accessible under the 

Freedom of Information Act. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

be 0.5 hours per response. 

• Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Individuals.

1800 per year. 

• Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 900 hours.

Title of Collection: Gaining Early 

Awareness and Readiness for 

Undergraduate Programs Final 

Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0782. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

local, and Tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 172.

Abstract: The purpose of this

whether recipients of Gaining Early 

Awareness and Readiness for 

Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) 

have made substantial progress towards 

meeting the objectives of their 

respective projects, as outlined in their 

grant applications and/or subsequent 

work plans. In addition, the final report 

will enable the Department to evaluate 

each grant project’s fiscal operations for 

the entire grant performance period, and 

compare total expenditures relative to 

federal funds awarded, and actual costshare/matching relative to the total 

amount in the approved grant 

application. This report is a means for 

grantees to share the overall experience 

of their projects and document 

achievements and concerns, and 

describe effects of their projects on 

participants being served; project 

barriers and major accomplishments; 

and evidence of sustainability. The 

report will be GEAR UP’s primary 

method to collect/analyze data on 

students’ high school graduation and 

immediate college enrollment rates. 

The form has been revised to include 

additional questions collecting data on 

the scholarship component that is 

required by statute.
