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. 

Title: Part 40, Provisions Common to 

Registered Entities (OMB Control No. 

3038–0093). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information involves the collection and 

submission to the Commission of 

information from registered entities 

concerning new products, rules, and 

rule amendments pursuant to the 

procedures outlined in §§ 40.2, 40.3, 

40.5, 40.6, and 40.10 found in 17 CFR 

part 40. 

With respect to the collection of

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. 

Burden Statement: Registered entities 

must comply with certification and 

approval requirements which include 

an explanation and analysis when 

seeking to implement new products, 

rules, and rule amendments, including 

changes to product terms and 

conditions. The Commission’s 

regulations §§ 40.2, 40.3, 40.5, 40.6 and 

40.10 provide procedures for the 

submission of rules and rule 

amendments by designated contract 

markets, swap execution facilities, 

derivatives clearing organizations, and 

swap data repositories. They establish 

the procedures for submitting the 

‘‘written certification’’ required by 

Section 5c of the Act. In connection 

with a product or rule certification, the 

registered entity must provide a concise 

explanation and analysis of the 

submission and its compliance with 

statutory provisions of the Act. 

Accordingly, new rules or rule 

amendments must be accompanied by 

concise explanations and analyses of the 

purposes, operations, and effects of the 

submissions. This information may be 

submitted as part of the same 

submission containing the required 

‘‘written certification.’’ The Commission 

estimates the average burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

• Rules 40.2, 40.3, 40.5, and 40.6 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

70. 

Annual Responses by each 

Respondent: 100. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 2. 

Estimated Total Hours per Year: 

14,000. 

• Rule 40.10 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 3. 

Annual Responses by each 

Respondent: 2. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 5. 

Estimated Total Hours per Year: 30.
