SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, 

and Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data/

Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series 

of webinars. The product of the Data/

Assessment Workshop is a report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses, and describes the fisheries, 

evaluates the status of the stock, 

estimates biological benchmarks, 

projects future population conditions, 

and recommends research and 

monitoring needs. Participants for 

SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the 

Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast 

Regional Office, HMS Management 

Division, and Southeast Fisheries 

Science Center. Participants include 

data collectors and database managers; 

stock assessment scientists, biologists, 

and researchers; constituency 

representatives including fishermen, 

environmentalists, and NGO’s; 

International experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion in the 

Assessment Process webinars are as 

follows: 

1. Using datasets and initial 

assessment analysis recommended from 

the In-person Workshop, panelists will 

employ assessment models to evaluate 

stock status, estimate population 

benchmarks and management criteria, 

and project future conditions. 

2. Panelists will recommend the most 

appropriate methods and configurations 

for determining stock status and 

estimating population parameters. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the intent to take final action 

to address the emergency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 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(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

Title: Exemptions from Speculative 

Limits (OMB Control No. 3038–0013). 

This is a request for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Section 4a(a) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘Act’’) 

allows the Commission to set 

speculative limits in any commodity for 

future delivery in order to prevent 

excessive speculation. Certain sections 

of the Act and/or the Commission’s 

regulations allow exemptions from the 

speculative limits for persons using the 

market for hedging and, under certain 

circumstances, for commodity pool 

operators and similar traders. This 

information collection contains the 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements needed to ensure 

regulatory compliance with Commission 

rules relating to this issue. 

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 

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. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to http://

www.cftc.gov. 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 http://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 

Request 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 3 hours per response. These 

estimates include the time to locate the 

information related to the exemptions 

and to file necessary exemption 

paperwork. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap 

Dealers, Large Traders, and other 

entities affected by Rules 1.47 and 1.48 

and part 150 of the Commission’s 

regulations. 

Estimated number of respondents: 9. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 48 hours. 

Frequency of collection: 1–2 reports 

annually.
