Contract Market Transactions.

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures

Trading Commission is planning to

renew Information Collection 3038–

0047, Contract Market Transactions,

which is due to expire on January 31,

1998. On October 2, 1995, pursuant to

Section 4(c) of the Commodity Exchange

Act (‘‘Act’’), 7 U.S.C. § 6(c) (1994), the

Commission published final rules in the

Federal Register which exempted

certain contract market transactions

from specified requirements of the Act

and Commission regulations thereunder

(60 FR 51323). The information

collected purusant to this rule is

required in order to assist the

Commission in its determination that

the exempted transaction will not have

a material adverse effect on the ability

of the Commission or any contract

market to discharge its regulatory or

self-regulatory duties under the Act, and

that the exemption would be consistent

with the public interest and the

purposes of the Act. In compliance with

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

the Commission solicits comments to:

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the agency,

including the validity of the methodology

and assumptions used; (2) evaluate the

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the

burden of the collection of information

including the validity of the methodology

and assumptions used; (3) enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the information

to be collected; and (4) minimize the burden

of the collection of the 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before December 15, 1997.
