SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

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

of information they collect or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) as ‘‘the obtaining, 

causing to be obtained, soliciting * * * 

facts or opinions by or for any agency, 

regardless of form or format [from] ten 

or more persons.’’ An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a valid 

OMB control number. 

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 for each proposed 

collection of information before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. Under OMB regulations, 

which implement provisions of the 

PRA, certain ‘‘facts or opinions that are 

submitted in response to a general 

solicitation of comments from the 

public, published in the Federal 

Register or other publications,’’ 5 CFR 

1320.3(h)(4), or ‘‘facts or opinions 

obtained or solicited at or in connection 

with public hearings or meetings,’’ 5 

CFR 1320.3(h)(8), are excluded from the 

OMB approval process. The Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on this 

collection of information was published 

on August 16, 2012 (77 FR 49428). The 

Commission received no comments on 

this collection of information. 

In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 26, the 

CFTC is posing survey questions to the 

public. Questions included in the 

survey will inquire as to how often the 

respondents would like to receive 

content from CFTC, the format in which 

the respondents would like to receive 

information, and the topics the 

information should cover. 

The Office of Consumer Outreach 

develops campaigns to change 

consumer behaviors, so that consumers 

can better avoid fraud as defined under 

the Commodities Exchange Act. The 

first campaign from the Office of 

Consumer Outreach involves utilizing 

government and non-profit agency 

distribution methods to provide antifraud information to consumers. This 

survey will assist the Office of 

Consumer Outreach in determining how 

the government and non-profit agencies 

would like to receive the anti-fraud 

information from the CFTC. The 

respondent burden for this collection is 

estimated to be 10 minutes per 

response. This estimate includes the 

time to prepare the written or electronic

Commission. The Commission estimates 

the average burden of this collection of 

information as follows: 

ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN HOURS
